Looking Inside Ourself-3

Determination :

Only he who can see the invisible can do the impossible

----------------------------------------------------

An old man used to live alone, wanted to spade his potato garden, but it was very hard work. His only son, who would have helped him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and mentioned his situation:

Dear Son,

I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant my potato garden this year. I hate to miss doing the garden, because your mother always loved planting time. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the plot for me, if you weren't in prison.

With Love,

Dad

Shortly, the old man received this telegram:

For Heaven's sake, Dad, don't dig up the garden!! That's where I buried the GUNS!!

At 4 am the next morning, a dozen police officers showed up and dug up the entire garden without finding any guns. Confused, the old man wrote another note to his son telling him what happened, and asked him what to do next.

His son's reply was: "Go ahead and plant your potatoes, Dad. It's the best I could do for you from here."

Moral Conclusion:

The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a person’s determination.

No matter where you are in the world, if you have decided to do something deep you’re your heart, you can do it. It’s always the determination that matters !!!

The will to win, the desire to achieve, the urge to reach full potential ….these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence. Great people are not great because of their talent and technique; they are great because of their attitude and passion. Passion is the trigger of success.

Passion is the engagement of our soul with something beyond us, something that helps us put-up with or fights against overwhelming all odds, even at high risk.

Change takes guts. It takes imagination. It takes commitment. Cease to toil, seek to be an artist. So celebrate what you have accomplished, but raise the bar a little higher each time you succeed.

I found that I could find energy, that I could find the determination to keep going. I learned that our mind can shock our body, if we just keep telling to ourself, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it!

Dreams:

Our world is as big as dream it.

----------------------------------------------------

A dream is a creative vision or road map for the future. Success can be seen twice, first in our dream, second after attaining. We need to have dreams, everything starts with it. And our dreams are who we are.

Vision without action is mirage. Undoubtedly one thing should follow our dream on the road to success is Hard work or Struggle. It’s the struggle which makes our dream to triumphant. Luck favours the brave, those who struggle and work hard, to attain success. If the hard work is not put, our dreams will become our own nightmares.

Our dreams become thoughts.

Our thoughts become words.

Our words become actions.

Our actions become destiny.

What we are today is result of our past actions, whatever we wish to be in future depends on our present actions. We can decide how we have to act now.

We will be what we think about ourselves. If we think we can achieve, we can. If we think we can’t, yes we can’t. When we believe in ourself, we should believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionably.  What ever we believe about ourselves and our ability comes true for us.

When we change our thinking………….we can change our belief

When we change our belief…………….we can change our expectation

When we change our expectation……we can change our attitude

When we change our attitude…..……..we can change our behaviour

When we change our behaviour………we can change our performance

When we change our performance….we can change our life

The 2 C’s i.e. Confidence & Courage and 3 D’s Desire, Dedication & Determination make us to excel. In apt the combination of 2 C’s and 3 D’s can be termed as Attitude, which showcases our inner image.

Prelude:

No one fails until they fails inside

------------------------------------------------------------------ 

We all know in Ramayana about “Hanuman” growing massive, flying to Lanka and finding “Sita Mata”. Ironically, before this act, he even was not aware of the wish he had, to grow bigger. Someone had to remind that he had that inner power.

Similarly we also unknowingly have tremendous potential inside ourselves, which needs to be discovered. That hidden potential can make us to scale the heights, which we dream. We just have to awake that sleeping giant inside us.

Even “Vamana”, the incarnation of “Lord Vishnu” grew bigger and suppressed “Bali”. Here growing can be percepted as growth in confidence and suppressing means defeating the fear.

Most of the times we are reluctant to put our dreams into action.  The fear of failure demoralizes us.  Such thoughts should be strongly shunned off. On human chessboard all moves are possible. This needs to be carved on all the walls of our mind. We should generate self-belief. In simple we need to look inside ourself.
