Two days ago, my friend’s friend approached me with a new business opportunity which sounded very good and i am very sure that I can make fortune in that if I really dedicate myself into it. That really made me to think the whole night. Actually she did approach me earlier this year but it didn’t really steal my attention at that time. But, two days ago, even though I am interested with the offer I didn’t immediately say yes. The first thing that came out of my mouth was “I’ll ask and let you know” instead of “I’ll think about it and let u know”. Then, the friend asked me whose permission do I really need?? Then I started to think whose permission do I really need??
It is not a trick question at all. But most of us, without realizing we feel safe about our decision when we get approval. We cling to a belief that it gives us a fabulous excuse that if anything goes wrong it is out of our hand. It can help us to sleep well because it gives illusion that we are not in control and if we are not in control, it is NOT OUR FAULT if anything goes WRONG…

We want approval for everything, before we can start a business, to continue our studies, to take up a hobby, to change our career and etc. We look forward for permission from everyone around us, our family, our partner, our friend, our relatives and etc. We feel secured when someone tells us we are good enough and smart enough to do it. Then we dare to take the first step towards our goal.
Why people are so afraid to take responsibilities of their own life and make the right decision? That night I decided to take responsibilities for my own successes and failures. To change my life for a better one, I should initiate something rather than waiting for everything to fall into place, waiting for my parents give me permission to do something, hoping my sisters, my soul mate and friends acknowledge me as a smart person, dreaming that my relatives will sing my praise to my other relatives. Why should I put my life into other people’s hand when I have stronger hands to hold it??
Dear readers, get conscious. In life there are only three truths, first the person who give you permission is not going to take responsibilities for your life. Second, success doesn’t come to those who wait for it and third success doesn’t come to those who ask for it. SUCCESS COMES TO THOSE WHO FIGHT OFF THE NAYSAYERS AND PUSH FORWARD WITHOUT A PERMISSION SLIP.
It may sound a bit scary and life changing once you realizes that it is up to us. We only need some to blame when we have doubts on ourselves and our dreams. First of all, if we don’t believe in ourselves and dreams, no one ever do. As long as we are confident we do not need anyone’s permission. The one and only approval we need is from US … So take the responsibility and conquer the world.
