It is far better to be free to govern or misgovern yourself than to be governed by anybody else. In this fast paced chaotic world it is easy for the average person to feel insignificant. After all, there are more than 6 billion people on earth all wondering what the future holds for them and the rest of mankind. Yet it is individual thought that collectively shapes and determines the course of human history. Men or women neither more nor less skilled than you have made large contributions to help the world become a better place to live.
There are no open jobs to the temple of success, everyone who enters must forge his or her own way. "But how"? you ask: By assuming personal responsibility. It is our responsibility to curve out a meaningful life. You have the power to subdue the earth. You have the dominion. This is the crux of our personal responsibility.
The greater your lot, the greater your responsibility. The man in the biblical story that was given five talents, was fully responsible for the five talents. If you acknowledge the talents given to you by the Creator, your mind, your health, your freedom of choice, to mention but a few; then you must also know that you are eventually answerable for these talents.
What would you do if you had a Million dollars ? Well.. You do have one Million dollars worth of potential, talents and capabilities. Be sure to take the responsibility to develop these gifts. Today, take the responsibility to develop your talents.
