Most fulfilling success is achieving it and helping other achieve it. When you are gone, you will be forgotten of all your achievements. But when you become a part of other people’s success, you will live forever.

More than ever people are getting religious as a result of being caught up with hardships in life. Lots of inspirational messages and motivational stories are being circulated on the social Medias. Are these helping in creating a heart of happiness and contentment? We keep hearing and reading about so many incidents of suicides and killings. In the past millions died in wars for a cause that they believed in. But in today’s fast world, happiness and peace have become a commodity. Many are dying of terminal sickness and stress.

With the proliferation of easy gadgets of communication we are fortunate to get access to so many real life stories of people who have written about their problems and what ways they used to solve them. It only takes a little effort and interest to lay our hands on them and be benefitted.

There is a power much greater than us that control the entire universe. There is a higher energy that created this universe and governs all the natural laws. Man created technology, but the forces that rule the universe created man. If we live with a purpose that will bring good to mankind, we will automatically be in tune with the universal power.

We are just not a heap of bones and tissues. We have a power within that makes us think and act. Everyone desires progress and change. Most people have the feeling that they could have done things better in life. But how many really strive to achieve greater than what they have. Continuing to do the same thing day in and day out will produce only same results. To bring in great changes one has to challenge the power that is within by stretching and going beyond one’s circumstances. If a person works single mindedly on something, he or she can change or achieve anything in life. This special quality is not found among animals.

All our lives we have been hearing stories of people who rose up to glory in spite of repeated downfalls. Yet we tend to forget when we are faced with problems Success and Happiness is self-created and not influenced by people or situations. Life of a person is outcome of his own thoughts. Pain is supposed to open up space for joy. So whenever a person goes through pain and suffering he has already created space in heart that can be filled with joy later and thereon life takes a steep turn towards success. Frustration in life is due to unfulfilled desire or disagreement with the surroundings. A simple mind shift can produce amazing results

Lots of people live in stress and fear due to uncertain future and being unprepared to face the rapidly changing world. Nervousness and efforts to please others keep dominating their lives. Another reason most people are unhappy is because they are more worried about what others are thinking about them.

No one can say with conviction as to from where we came or where we are going. Those who experienced it never came back to tell us the story of life and death. It is not by choice that we are living on this earth. All on this planet experience the same mystery and the truth that cannot be comprehended. All that we know is that we live only once and as long we are here, we have so much to give. No human is superior to the other. In fact all humanity is great as they have the ability to create incredible things and also destroy using same efforts. When each of us is unique isn’t it pointless to worry about what others are thinking about us?

It has been proved through research that 80% of people go to work that they hate. This holds true with every country in this world. Stress and anxiety eats up vitality in mind and body. By the time a person is 45 years old, he becomes living dead.

It was Les Brown who said,” many die at 25 and never get buried till 65”

Many people do not realize that they had talents when they were young and did not pursue them after they were caught up with the demands of life from time to time. Job, Career, Family are the obvious reasons all will give when it comes to working on their dreams. All grow in mind and body, but stop growing in their gifts and talents. Most people seek out for success and happiness all their lives and miss to live in joy every day.

If we look around us , all the incredible things that we enjoy ,like flying in a plane, video talk with someone 1000s of miles away, internet revolution and many more. All these are someone’s idea. Few people refused to settle for less and worked hard to come up with innovation and ideas that simplified living.

Just look at the simple things in our daily lives. Someone had felt that the doors are slamming hard and invented door controllers. Someone got tired of slow cars and came up with fast cars. Someone got tired of a pencil and invented pen and all that we enjoy every day is someone’s creation.

Les Brown said once, “Necessity is not the mother of invention. Refusing to accept the way the things are, is the mother of invention

How are we different from them? Only difference is that they went beyond their comfort zone.

This power to bring out great things is there is each and every one of us. But we never realize it and live an ordinary life.

We have the power to solve any kind of health or other problems. We need not worry and make our lives miserable. Our inner power does not show up unless it is challenged.

Man needs something greater than him to conquer his weakness and fears.

Most of the time this power manifests itself when man is put in a corner where there is no escape or when someone is hurt deep by another person.

The inner drive to survive when someone is pushed to a place of no escape is what makes him or her rise above the ordinary. This is what is commonly referred as “greatness within”.

In a war field the soldier fighting at the enemy lines tries his to keep alive. In the process he has no choice but kill the enemies.

In 1519, when the enemy outnumbered in force, Captain Cortes ordered his men to burn their ships as soon they landed in Veracruz. When someone laughed at his command Cortes thrust his sword into the man’s chest. In fear rest of the men obeyed the command and burnt down the ship. There was obviously no retreat without victory. The same has been demonstrated at various battles around the world.

When this power is unleashed, man works in one direction through mind, body and emotion.

There is a power dialogue in the movie “Elizabeth the Golden age”. When the Spanish delegate speaks hurting to the queen, she explodes, “I too can command the wind sir. I have a hurricane in me that can strip Spain bare if you dare to try me”

Such is the power all human beings are sitting on. Don’t forget that the atomic bomb or nuclear bomb, man created all.

When someone loses everything in life that he had earned by hard work, when the lights are cut off for him, what will he do? It always does not happen to the other person. It can happen to you or me.

In order to tap into this incredible energy within us it is necessary that we be always put in a perpetual state of preparation and discomfort.

Imagine if all of us try to tap this vested power in us. We can make our world a better place to live.

Age is not a matter or existing circumstances does not determine a person’s inner potential. Every man is endowed with power greater than his circumstances which if he constantly focuses and works on, it will enable him to change his life.

Repetition creates progress and brings improvement. Continuous thinking and doing something will make it a part of one’s being. When a person drives his car first time and there on for few days he is very conscious of the clutches, gear, steering wheel, brakes etc. But once he has driven every day for 6 months, he will be able to control all the components of the car and the roads with his reflexes while he is talking to someone or screaming on the phone.

The habits deposit in his subconscious mind and become his being, inseparable. Solving a problem or seeking betterment in life is the same. When one constantly works on him, it makes him to seek and experience newer horizons every time. On the contrary being lazy and dull also can become a part of the being when repeated. The subconscious mind does not discriminate good and bad. It accepts anything that’s repeated for long time and produces similar results.
Since positive emotions bring happiness to a person it is much stronger than negative emotions. Happiness opens up the physical and mental vistas and makes a person strong and builds energy. However negative emotion blocks the faculties of a person and drains energy. So subconscious works better with positivity than negativity. It is also a proven science that the universe fosters an idea that is fortified with a positive purpose.

7% of world’s population holds the wealth of the entire world because that 7% do the things that the others don’t do and possess all the things that the others don’t possess. Hard work and determination has always been the forte of only a few. A setback in life brings out that inner drive to save oneself and they join that 7% few

We will never get a time in our life for us to decide or start something new. We will never have the required finances, we will never finish paying all bills, and we will never have free time to focus on special tasks because this is called “LIFE”.
Man has been made to evolve amidst hardships and challenges. Just like every cell in our body has to fight for survival, we have to fight every day in our lives to move forward. There is pain everywhere. Ducking away from pain and hardship will lead us to sadness and defeats in life. And we can never avoid pains. It will come looking for us wherever we are.

When you are faced with challenges, do not go into seclusion and worries.

Keep yourself busy with a positive attitude.

Take that additional course, attend workshops, study people who faced similar challenges and keep moving. Work more on your mind by reading and listening.

As you push yourself harder It takes twice as much or more energy and effort to be positive and work harder.

This sets a momentum and your challenge becomes smaller.

When you get released from the challenge the added energy and strength will thrust you to a level much higher with power and confidence to achieve bigger things in life.
 

Set your limits high and push yourself to success.
