Another one for you - What would you like to Own?
A Bigger Car, more villas, heftier paying job, a fat bank balance, etc etc. The list is endless!
As children we want to own toys, games, books ,clothes. Moving into teenage, the list changes to
branded accessories, gadgets. Come adulthood, and our desires take bigger dimensions. Most of us
want to own bigger cars, houses, gadgets and branded accessories. The greed never stops. The material
wants and possessions become more and more. We want to own everything under the sun!
As individuals, have we ever thought of owning ourselves, the frivolous personalities that we are
becoming! Do we even Own our responsibility towards ourselves? Or towards our Society – maybe
giving it back in some form? Towards nature or towards humanity, as a whole? Do we Own this? Or do
we even think about Owning this?
We talk endlessly about making this world a better place, a safer home, but how? Is the Creator going to
waive a magic wand and the world becomes more humane?
Let us pledge today, together, to own ourselves and everything we do. To create better versions of
ourselves and a far better version of the world in the times to come.
Own yourselves – with all the limitless strengths and the meaningless imperfections embedded in you.
Own it, accept it, as is. Accept yourself whole heartedly. This itself will lead to a magical awareness
about who you are. This awareness will transform you and the world around you. It will magnify your
strengths as your imperfections become dimmer. Only YOU have the power – Own yourself NOW.
Everything else becomes meaningless. You hold much bigger power than all your material possessions
and brands that seem to define your life now.
Once you Own yourself, you take responsibility for every action, every small deed that you do, every
word you speak and every little thought that crosses your mind. Be accountable to yourself and the
world around you. And with your head held high, say – “iOwn my life! I will transform” and the beautiful
journey begins!
