1. “Interest is the backbone of your growth. You got to fight harder to stick to it and take it forward.”
Always remember that, nothing seems like a problem, nothing can stop you, nothing can de-catalyze your journey and nothing looks difficult when your interest becomes your priority. The very common reason- ‘I cannot find time’ is certainly invalid. You will somehow make time for what interests you. You tend to work hard, innovate, invent and grow sincerely and elegantly only when you are interested in what you are doing. Interest is a feel; it is an emotion which wakes you up when you sleep, knocks the door of success and invites it to your life, shows the real you to the world and help you prove to the world, your intense love, passionate affection and the level of importance you give to whatever you’ve undertaken. Your inner strengths and capabilities could be completely made use of and the sole purpose of your life shall be essentially fulfilled. It is all because of your interest; respect it and never let it go.

2. “Your heart is your best guide. Listen to its whispers and follow its words.”
How much can the outside world understand you? Does it accept you completely for the way you are? Always remember, you are the only one who can respect, accept, understand and help yourself completely. Your heart knows you better than anything or anyone in the universe. Not just your desires, it also knows what’s good for you. The soul of every life is divine; the divinity succeeds in suggesting, showing and directing you the right, best feasible and effective path that takes you to success. Success is the ultimate interest, goal, ambition, passion and everything with respect to an aspiring winner. Naturally, you do all that takes you there. If you are very much keen to achieve then you can certainly do by following your heart. Listen to it, trust it and value its guidance.

3. “Continue to dream, continue to trust and continue to act and grow.”

4. “Value things and not its price. Admire the struggle and not just its result. Live to succeed and don’t just succeed in living.”
Stars look beautiful. Their twinkles and glitters make the sky shine. Who doesn’t like those stars? In fact, we pray for an opportunity to touch them, hug them and sparkle the same way. But, we are not aware of the reactions which take place within them. The constant, consistent and continual participation of hot gases in various chemical reactions is what produces the shine. We see its twinkling effect but forget to respect what it undergoes to produce the effect. Admiring the struggle and pain along with the victory helps you become a better person. Money cannot buy everything. Analyzing what something or someone does for you which money cannot and valuing the service, love and concern helps you reach the summit of success. Achieve something during your stay on this planet and only then leave. Life is about leaving an unforgettable legacy.
