Just Take Charge

I wonder what stops you from taking full charge of your daily life
It seems very obvious that your discomfort is reflected in your strife
Life is not something that needs to be led on terms dictated by others
One consciously needs to adapt but no one expects you to regularly suffer

You seem to have so many issues with your personal life and professional career
You are not satisfied with your social activities and seem to have a perennial fear
You are not in the pink of health and your immune system gives you no buffer
You are not willing to accept your reality and given the opportunity run for cover

You may not have the luxury to take up all issues sequentially one at a time
You need to be proactive and aiming to balance your life issues is not a crime
You can’t satisfy the whole world and at times you have to ignore other’s whine
You need to be able to define your priorities and a strong focus will help you shine

You seem to be weighed down with responsibilities on the personal front
You feel obligated to help your family members and face the maximum brunt
You realize that you are being stressed out and can’t continue longer with this stunt
You have none to speak to share your worries and at times get extremely candid and blunt

You are highly educated and have a desire to have a more meaningful professional role
You have understood that you are not a smooth talker and this seems to have taken a toll
You are hardworking and equally smart but unfortunately many a time have fallen in a hole
You have had to make compromises and it has resulted in your career not being on a roll

You realize that you like to interact with people and develop your inner social network
Unfortunately your personal and professional commitments load you down with work
You realize that you take initiative and not really a person who comes across as a quirk
Unfortunately your circumstances in life have avoided you to politely refuse and shirk

You accept and acknowledge that your own health could be in much better and fitter shape
You deserve to give your body its due and feel miserable when you get measured by the tape
You commit to yourself that you will start your fitness program and run a couple of laps
You acknowledge that tomorrow never comes and each time feel like giving yourself a slap

You may be not very happy in terms of your financial portfolio that you have come to possess
Your discomfort in terms of your lack of methodical approach is something that you express
You realize that you need to be more systematic and plan you future to avoid further stress
You seem to be on the hunt for the ideal moment when the divine powers will finally bless

You recognize that life is short and each one only has a limited time on this planet
Yet you seem to live as if life is eternal living in past memories that has already set
You need not lose your cool on near ones who advise you to discover your purpose
You can spend your energies reflecting on true reality and go beyond superficial gloss

Just take charge of your life and be very clear that you create your own destiny
Your choices determine whether you discover bliss or have to engage in a mutiny
You drive your life the way you want to and each day you are gifted with a wish box
Your choices determine whether you evolve and progress or find yourself on the rocks!

Imagine the myriad possibilities if each individual takes charge of his/her life and the unleashing of the latent human potential that will be an outcome of it. Alas, easier said than done!

Great job in penning this.
