we are the architects of our own lives.....

We are the architects of our own lives. We need not hire neither a professional architect nor a proficient mason to build our lives. For, none of them could shape our lives the way we wanted but except ourselves. We, ourselves can mold our lives in any ways we want it to be like. Though there are some determinants of our lives but they play only minor roles in our lives. The real and powerful determinant is our own mind which is in deed a king of our physical bodies. So, it is entirely in our hands as how to lead our lives-in better way or in worse way.

Yes, there are also some important factors which I would say external factors like love and care, career counselling, compassion, elderly advice etc...which affect one's life and direct to the right track but if our mind is non-reactive to any of these determinants and if we be obstinate then we will remain at our normal position only. Therefore, everything has to be dealt with our mind. But I don't mean that we have to totally give ourselves to mind and let mind drive our lives. No. we should not entrust everything on mind because mind is good master as well as a bad master. If we let our mind rule ourselves then it might even put us in jail sometimes. Mind is so dangerous at times. So, it is awfully essential to curb our mind and make it to function in a meaningful way.

In our life time, some people will come as blessing and some as a curse. We may encounter people of various kinds. Some may aid us in climbing the ladder of success while some may pull us down from getting to the top ladder of success. But let it be. We should be the person we were before. Their curses and supports should not be the sole reasons for our accomplishments and failures because as I mentioned at the beginning we are the architects of our own lives. Nobody can bring a total change in our lives though others can bring some tweaks in our lives. Failure and success are like two sides of one coin. For they always go hand in hand. In deed, failure is a stepping stone toward success. The author,Jack Canfield has rightly quoted," Don't worry about failures, worry about the chances you miss when you don't even try".

" Accept responsibility for your life. Know that it is you who will get you where you want to go,no one else", Les Brown(author) said. As rightly quoted by Mr. Les Brown, it solely depends on oneself on how to lead one's life. There is no any impossible thing in this world. Everything is possible if we really endeavour to do. If we think we can do, we can and if we think we can't then we can't. This is how possible turns into impossible when we don't even dare to give a try. If we fail without even trying it once, we will regret later and get disheartened but if we fail after try then we will not regret and have a sense of satisfaction as we had tried once. So I would like urge all my friends to be the good architect of one's life and build a life beautifully and meaningfully.
