Life has no remote, get up and change it yourself!: It is always a great feel to talk about the undertones of a quote. Like in this case it talks about the facets in different levels. In this quote analysis, we will be talking about taking responsibility and ownership, the value of change and taking control of your own life.

Change doesn’t wait for anyone. And most times, our life is not exactly on the path we like either. It takes twists and turns that need to be addressed. This article is a dedication to those twists and turns. Not just a dedication but a reminder that no one else can fight our battles. It is up to us to make the change we really need.

Who said Life has no remote get up and change it yourself?

Mark A Cooper – this quote is associated with Mark A Cooper from Operation Einstein.

Life has no remote get up and change it yourself Meaning

Life has no remote is a nice representation by snoopy. Might sound a bit preachy, but in some ways, our life can represent a TV doesn’t it? We can change the state of our minds by focusing on things. Our perception defines what we do about it. It is never perfect, but it is your and my life. We ought to do something about it – whether we want to work it in our favour or not.

And as much as we’d like someone else to come and solve our problems – it rarely ever happens. We just have to do that ourselves! Of course, if someone else is doing it for you – what is the guarantee that they will be right? After all, no one knows you better than yourself. And by extension, no one can solve your problems better.

Responsibility for your life, even though you didn’t take the decision

We talked about this earlier –  It is not only for what we do that we’re held responsible. Life is weird and strange, there are hundreds of things around us for we don’t have any control over. However, we still have to face the results. In other words, we have to deal with the cards we’re given. No point in complaining about them. 

So many times we often end up waiting for something to happen, someone to appear magically and solve our challenges and troubles, someone to uplift us and make life simple and smooth again. Seldom does it happen right? I guess rightly so indeed, if we ourselves do not take the responsibility for our lives, who would?

You are the only person who can make change

Of course, change is never easy. All our lives we know that we would have turned ourselves into a format and believe that a world is shaped around it.

But sometimes it often becomes imperative to realise that the world we see needs an uplift sometimes and what better than the quote says – “Be the change you want to see”

No one else can make this change for us. Life moves on and people are busy with their own headaches. If you want something to really move forward, you just have to start doing something about it. If not, nothing changes and you will still be complaining about the problems because only actions can give you any results.

Only I can change My Life, No one can do it for me

 – Carol Burnett

Your Results are determined by your actions

I am very sure that we all are very smart people, writing about things and reading about them. But when it comes to taking action on things, we somehow find numerous amount of reasons, each one more justifiable than the other.

But I guess we will always have those reasons, knowledge alone never solved anything right? Wasn’t it the action that made all the difference?

• What to do? – Well this is perhaps where the knowledge might come into effect. Although like we say easier said than done, knowledge is usually misconstrued in opinions and beliefs. But I guess the result and growth most times is beyond these limitations!
• How to? – Now that’s the best question you can ask. Well I am sure we don’t know the answer right away. That is the beauty of things isn’t it?

The questions we ask determine our answers too. We can worry about all sorts of things, but life has no remote – you ought to change it yourself.
