Take Charge
When we have begun to take charge of our lives, to own ourselves, there is no longer any need to ask permission of someone. — George O’Neil
Don’t shirk or avoid responsibility. Do everything you have agreed to do to the best of your ability. The underlying principle here is this. All of your internal systems and processes are on high alert and active. You are much sharper and better able to perceive and manage things, when you are giving your best effort.
