Difference of the Day #208

In a world obsessed with auditing everything except character, the illusion that we are responsible for others’ actions persists as a convenient lie.

The truth is less comfortable: you are only accountable for your own actions. Like an artisan crafting their own distress, you own it; everything else is just noise.

Consider flight turbulence—unsettling, but beyond your control. Your responsibility is simply to fasten your seatbelt. Owning your actions means your struggles are with your own choices, like a gambler who doesn't know the opposing cards. In life’s chaotic theater, be the protagonist who writes their own script, while the rest are just props.

The politician blaming his party or the executive criticizing subordinates reflects humanity's favorite pastime: blaming the weather for the market's fluctuations.

Remember, control over external forces is an illusion, but mastering your own actions is a very real possibility.

Today, Make A Difference.
