Re-position Yourself
for
Better Times
God has given every human being a power to
discriminate, between the best and worst, between excellent and
terrible deeds and to know in advance, what will be in his best or worst
interest. In spite of that, there are very few people who are willing to cash
on that ability and change, for the positive and discard bad practices and
tendencies that dent and harm you now as well as in the future. Disappointments
and heartaches are a normal part of human existence. Only the hardships harden
and sharpen us. For growth in life, you have to endure the winter of
frustration, exactly like a seed and the sapling, which has to pass through
many freezing winters, before it can blossom. In fact, there is no living e to
be man in the world, however successful he may be, who has not faced some
despair or gloom in his life.
The beauty of life, is that no failure and
disappointment is permanent and it lies within our power to transform
ourselves. A poet rightly says that, “Hope springs eternally in human heart.”
In other words, whatever may be the position, there is always a room for hope
and growth. After a fall, we can get up and begin again. But this message has
to come from within us, and not from outside.
When difficulties smoother us and we feel that all is
almost, then it is time to auto suggest to yourself, that past is finished and
you can begin again. You have to be,
focused in whatever you do, as focus and the driving force and energy are
interlinked. Our values and belief mould and shape our actions. Whatever be the
position, you must never allow yourself to be, subjected to the negativity.
Peter Drucker said, “ The best way to predict the future is to create it.” The
best way to create your future is to meet it head-on. If you are not making the
desired progress, it may not always be due to lack of efforts on your part. May
be you are working hard, but not on the activities that should absorb all your
attention. As there a constant change all around, we have to learn to adjust to
it. Do not hesitate to have uncommon dreams. Remember that any special and
singular ambition will require prudent, judicious and a sensible use of your
time.
We all are supported and given confidence by other here
we as, in our aspirations. Otherwise, we would not be where we are now, after a
long journey in life. You should get up every morning with the resolve, that
you would go to bed with a clear conscience whatever you wanted to achieve. Do
not be one of those people, who hide behind the excuses, that I have nothing to
achieve in my life or I have no excuse. As long as you are alive, and kicking,
keep on striving to perform better and better. Do not be one of those crushed,
who have lost the will. No harm comes to anybody for dreaming substantially and
extensively. Pretexts, justifications and explanations are the gear and tools
of the inept and hopeless. The reality is that such people have authorized and
approved their fright and dread to paralyze their dreams and objectives. Do not
hide behind the bogus security blankets of life. Go out and conquer the world.
