Strength of Confidence

Most great men were men of ordinary calibre in the beginning. But they neither allowed this to lower their high aim nor did they allow despair to dampen their spirits. They went ahead step by definite step on the strength of confidence and constant efforts. Even in the face of difficulties they did not waver. Even in unfavourable circumstances they did not falter. 

Even though they had limited resources and ordinary calibre, their dedication inspired them to sacrifice their all for the country, for their religion and for service to humanity, thus setting and ideal for millions to follow. 

Mental Tension

Mental tension can also be caused by disorganised way of living, needless hurry, being busy during day as well as night and work continuously without a pause. This makes it essential to change your life-style and day-to-day working by intelligent planning for enough rest and relaxation. Man’s mental strength is put to good use only by leading a relaxed life enriched with honesty, descipline, goodwill and being organised and punctual. This helps us to take proper advantage of the capacity given to us by God.

Drink deep from the fountain of joy that comes from doing your duty and keeping going without fear in the face of obstacles. This is the essence of religion. 

Mould accordingly to Situation

When your hands are full with too many jobs at a time, not a single job gets done because the mind is pulled in many directions. This leads to loss of temper. Remember the adage -  “One thing at a time and that done well.......” Thus by concentrating thoughts on only one project, you will easily achieve mental equilibrium, prevent the loss of effort and energy and start on the path of progress, because you will be completing every task that you undertake. 

The fundamental principle of wordly success is to fill your mind with noble thoughts when doing any work. We may not be able to change the situation around us, but can mould ourselves according to the situation and remain cheerful. 

Expecting others to be with us and do as we say is the main reason for increasing our mental tension and complicating our lives. The solution to this problem lies in doing our work silently and let others carry on in their own way. Do not try to dominate any one. Also, do not waste in valuable time and energy in trying to please everyone.

It is useless to desire that others should listen to us only, act on only what we say, should be interested in us only and co-operate with us only. Not only is this desire wrong, but also harmful. To depend emotionally on others is not beneficial at all. 

Finding Happiness

Understanding and logical thinking demand of you to change your attitude with changing times.

Attainment of happiness, success, progress, luxury etc should not make you swollen-headed. Conversely, it is pointless to weep or get angry or despair in an unfavourable situation. Instead of weeping and wasting time, utilise the time to change your attitude, and exercise your mind to find out a solution. Actually this will prove more beneficial to you. 

Real intelligence lies in finding happiness from whatever is available and thus maintaining your balance of mind. 

Have Faith in Yourself

Do not pay too much attention to what others think about your projects and objectives. If they think of you as over-imaginative lone-wolf and running after dreams, simply ignore it. Have faith in yourself. Do not let your confidence waver on the say-so of some-one or with the onset of some crisis. If you maintain faith inself and stride forward, sooner or later your path will become clear. 

In future also you must continue your efforts, but with the attitude of a sportsman.
