It’s a good post on taking responsibility for your own life, which it in essence comes down to.

One thing I’d like to add is that by relying on a guru to help us forward (others than ourselves that is) we become dependent. Dependency on anything or anyone only serves to undermine us and tear us down in the long run. Dependency only serves to have us give up responsibility for ourselves.

Thanks for the post.

Yeah, I think it all comes down to the principle where you learn better by doing something than listening to or reading something.
Teaching ourselves the way we should think is a lot more pleasurable than reading an article telling us what to do, without indicating a way in which we could change our thoughts.

I was very impressed with this blog post. I have been subscribed to this blog for over a year but I rarely read because it is not connected to my primary email. However, this particular post made me feel very good and I look forward to reading many more posts in the future. Especially in business along with life in general people tend to blame their failures on someone else. Although, as you mentioned regardless of whether we rise or we fall we should always be looking within for the answers.

Yeah, I think that can be a problem. You have to find the right balance for you and keep advice in it’s proper place.

That’s a good point, it’s easier to learn about something if you write about it and teach it to others too.
