If a person says to his innermost self, that he/she wants to do something in life, repeatedly, over and over again, he really develops the capability to achieve that goal. However, merely saying outside with people who are not going to help in reaching the goal will not count. Even after saying within, if a person is failing to reach the goal, then he should give a serious consideration about “What could be the possibility for this failure to achieve the goal?” Some possibilities could be:
Postponing in doing work: Each time you take up a work or each time you think of doing it, but you will always get reasons for not completing it properly. If you postpone few times, look at how very much it is important to finish this work. Thus, postponing things is a sure sign for not reaching your goal.
Arrogance: RIGHT people are important in life to reach your goal. If you fail to identify who is RIGHT or WRONG, due to lack of knowledge, you might lose even the RIGHT people due to your arrogance. This results in having people who don't have the capability in helping you to reach the goal. Without RIGHT people, you will never reach your goal. With the WRONG people, (even if you have more people), you will always fail to reach your Goal.
Anger lasts for a second in noble men. It lasts for an hour or two in intermediate or ordinary men. In a mean-minded person it last for a whole day and night. In the vilest man it lasts till death! - Nitya Neeti - Pg. 3 |
Not having self respect: Once you don’t yourself either due to a few failures or due to any other reasons, it brings to you unhappiness and make you feel down & depressed in life leading you to become a slave of another person. Becoming a temporary slave could be well, a part of your strategy. But becoming a permanent slave should be BIG NO.

Knowledge: One should constantly increase his/her knowledge which helps to reach the goal, Otherwise, that person cannot reach the goal. If you feel that your knowledge is reducing, this is surely an indication that you are not going to reach your goal. For the outer world, you might claim something big but, it doesn't have any use for reaching your goal.
A student gains a quarter portion of knowledge from his teacher, a quarter of it from one's own intelligence, a quarter from fellow students, and a quarter from time (Experience). - Subhashita Manjari - 11.18
Life without education and knowledge is waste, like the tail of a dog that is neither useful or conceal its private organs, nor useful in driving away disturbing flies. - Nitya Neeti - Pg. 46 |
Controlling your actions: Thinking non-sense is fine to some extent. But, if you convert non-sense thoughts into actions, you will be the sufferer and you will do unexpected actions which may prevent you to reach your goal. So, have self control while converting thoughts into actions.
Great people have oneness in mind, speech and action. But the wicked have one thing in mind; one is speech and another in action. - Subhashita Manjari - 14.552 |
