CEO, Your Life.

If you are a professional, whichever chosen field of work you are in, the aspiration is to become the CEO of an organisation. Day in and day out, every step as a professional, we work hard to reach that place. Some reach there, whereas many don't.

As in any game, the difference between the one who reached there (CEO) and the one who could not make it is just the equivalent of that one ten of a centimeter, in a 100 m dash, or something like that. Ceterus paribus (all things remaining the same), the person who reached the CEO position gets there by that little extra he gave in terms of every single effort of his, all through the journey of life.

Now, cut to the personal front - which is any-day more important than the professional front - I can see some of us murmuring that how can you have a joyous and happy personal life if you don't get to the top in your profession?! In reality the opposite is mostly true - there are hordes of people who have reached the 'top' in their profession, leaving behind just about everything - family, friends, happiness and what not. And once they reach there, they realize it was not worth kicking off just everything that really mattered in life.

The better choice to make would be - aspire to be the CEO, your life.

This will be so much fun, and work/career will be one part of this whole. By consciously seeking to remain CEO of your life, you get the priorities of life right, a great balance between all the elements of life - which include family, friends, parents, society, your continuous learning and your contributions to all the facets of your life.

You always remain the CEO of your life, and every thing you do in that position is a well thought out choice - how much you should work and grow, how much you will spend time with family, what social causes you will spend time on, what will you do to make you a better person, what new skills and qualities you must develop to be a better CEO everyday... and so many thing which are truly important, and will remain wildly important now (WIN) all through the life journey!

The core of being CEO, your life, will encompass the truly relevant priorities for you, which are so unique to only you. A life that is unique and will not justify any comparisons whatsoever, with anyone else!

So, now on, aspire and be one thing - CEO, your Life.
