Whether you acknowledge it or not, whether you like it or not, and even if you don’t want this sort of responsibility resting on your shoulders, you are Captain of your ship. I will make the comment within this eBook ‘You are Captain of Your Ship’ numerous times. Suddenly, all attention is on you and how you are going to lead yourself and the situation at hand. Yet, to claim to be ‘Captain’ of your ship can also carry a sense of burden with the importance, as they say in baseball, of having to step up to the plate. It is one who leads their own life and can take that influence and lead others. Yet, to claim to be ‘Captain’ of your ship can The statement, ‘I AM CAPTAIN OF MY SHIP’, or something in a similar vain, is not hard to interpret and very hard to misunderstand.
