Who is responsible for our choices in life?
Our existence comprises of the choices that we make and the decisions we take have a long lasting impact on our life. Our lives are a series of choices we have made so far. We live with those choices for the rest of our lives and believe me when I say this, the rest of our life is pretty long period whether we feel it immediately or not, our life is being shaped by the choices we are making in the present. We are responsible for what we are & whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make our self. If what we are now have been the results of our past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in the future we can produce by our present action so we have to know how to act.
We often lay all the blame of life on others, on God or on fate. Where is fate and who is fate? We reap what we sow – we are the makers of our own fate.
It is up to our self – either we choose slavery or freedom, happiness or sorrow, good or evil. We must make choices and assume the consequences. We also cannot be indifferent to our surroundings. We must take stand, make choices, commit ourselves to our beliefs and create meaning through action.
Making our own decision makes us responsible for what comes out of that decision whatever it was a positive move or not. Making our own decisions also allows us to make own mistakes and learn from them. Someone can advise us on something certainly, but the choice is ours. What happens when we choose to let others make the decision for us? At the end we have only illusions and excuses – we do not own up to our action. So who is responsible for our action ? What do you think?

I agree, because according to me our life depends on our own, as we work, we get the same output as we do. If we have confidence in ourselves, then we can do anything, if we allow others to make our decisions, then we ourselves are responsible for it, because we ourselves did not go deep into that work and became dependent on others.
