Do you know Tom and Jerry?

The famous Characters on TV.

Who do you want to be?

TOM? Or JERRY?

Tom lives to eat. From the wake of dawn to Dusk – his entire being revolves around eating.

What he eats for breakfast.
What he eats for lunch.
What he eats for dinner.
What he eats in between.

Tom cares only about what he eats.

Tom cares only that he has something to eat every day.

This belief that he has to have for his daily meal has tainted his entire life.

That is all he knows.

Hence, he is always running for his food.

Don’t you know people who run for their food – their entire lives?

They care only about running for their food.

Nothing else.

They get a job in some field they have studied on.
They immerse themselves in their job.
They put their whole future at the hands of their employers.
They get paid. Hence, they work.

They do not ask ‘What if?’ scenarios.

Just like Tom does not ask.

‘What if there is no longer food?’
‘What if the food I am used to stops coming to me?’

People who live like Tom never ask:

‘What if the company I am working for no longer needs me?’
‘What if I am replaced with someone else?’
‘What if these employers I have trusted my life with are not making the right decisions – FOR ME?’

People who live like Tom have put their wants, needs, talents, potential, passion, dreams, freedom, financial security, career, future and their life into the hands of some other person.

They have given control to others.

They are NOT in control of their lives. Not really.

Just like Tom is NOT in control of his life.

Now, let us look at the life of Jerry.

Jerry does not want to be eaten!

Hence, He finds ways to NOT be eaten.

Jerry takes risks.

Jerry is 100% accountable for his destiny.

Jerry is in control of his life!

Jerry understands this world is an ever changing one.
—————
Take control of your life.

Be 100% accountable for your destiny.

Take risks.

Waking up every morning in this changing world is risky.

Nobody can care about you – the way you can care about YOURSELF. NOBODY. Not your boss. Not your manager. Not your mentors. Not your government. Not your country.

Please remember this:

You are the pilot who controls your own life!
