12 inspirational quotes that'll motivate you to take charge of your life and achieve success

Ever heard the saying “My life, my rules”? Popularised by viral posts and memes on the internet, the saying holds the essence of the sentiment — your life is in your own hands.

One’s life and destiny are often in their own hands — one's actions and decisions decide one's fate. Taking charge of one’s life can steer people in the right direction in life. No one else can take the decisions for you to take you on the path that you wish. That power is only vested in the individual’s hands.

No matter what the challenges or who you have to help you during tough times, only you can take charge of your life and move in the direction that you wish.

Here are some inspirational quotes to inspire you to take charge of your life.
