Keep Motivating yourself to accelerate yourself towards your aim.

There is no point in wasting time and starting the blame game, your life is YOUR Responsibility.

Ask yourself this ques everyday,

“If today were the last day of my life, 
Would I do the same thing that I am about to do.”

Would I waste my time in sleeping, procrastinating, roaming, chatting, partying & in the end blaming everyone
or
Would I Invest my time judiciously and do vital tasks –
{Realise the value of priceless life and limited time you have}
[We all have to die one day, what matters is, how well are you going to use your limited time and make this life count, that is you add meaning to your life]

-Keep Helping= VAR1 = We all are 1 big family – Help others in any possible way if you can on your journey (guiding, teaching, sharing experience, providing old books, etc)

SECRET OF SUCCESS —

1-

The formula of Success = i-Intense desire (+)

ii-Control on our senses / Control on our thoughts

= That is, “To do the task that you must do in this present moment, no matter how tough it is & no matter how adverse situation is”
[rather than day dreaming, sleeping, procrastinating and blaming others for our present situation and failures in life]
.

2-
Let’s, understand with an example —

When you pull the trigger of a gun, it pushes the bullet with great speed.
Ques is, how it is able to do that?
Ans –
Gun is able to provide such a high velocity to bullet because of its inner mechanism & design that propels it so fast. It is uniquely designed to this 1 task efficiently and in best way.
.
The same applies to our life – ‘How well you have cultivated your MIND with good thoughts & knowledge as seeds & irrigate with desire & passion as water’.

“Your mind is a garden. Your thoughts are the seeds.
You can grow flowers
or
you can grow weeds”

.
The greater you have control on your senses/thoughts, the more you will have focus.
The greater you have focus, the more you will have intensity.
The greater you have the intensity to learn/grow/win, the more you will have acceleration & faster you will progress towards your goal.
.
You must have —
a- an insatiable desire to learn 
[hone your skills & annihilate your weakness]
‘WORK AS HARD ON YOURSELF {SKILLS}, AS YOU DO ON YOUR WORK’

b- extreme hunger to go for more & grow 
[instead of defining limits], [limits are illusion, it deceives us of our true strength, it makes us lazy, like I can’t study more than 6 hours on Sunday]

c- intense thirst to win 
[Work is our identity, it represents us, it defines us, it gives our life meaning]
“I WILL WIN, MAY BE NOT IMMEDIATELY BUT DEFINITELY ON ONE FINE DAY”
.
Most people achieve success in one or two areas.
Here, is an inspirational person – Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger who succeeded in many domains.
He is an Austrian-American actor, producer, served two terms as the 38th Governor of California, businessman, investor, author, philanthropist, activist, and former professional bodybuilder.

Some of his good quotes:
“Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.”
.
“For me life is continuously being hungry. The meaning of life is not simply to exist, to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, to conquer.”
.
One of his Best Motivational video:

.

Truth is that life is full of uncertainty, surprises, you will face many ups and downs in life, sometimes life is not fair, adversities & struggles are in everyone’s life in one form or the other.
.
But, ask this ques to yourself, as a path finder, what you should do whether –
you would give up on rough ride to mammoth mountain
or
you will keep moving by making your way, overcoming the many more giant mountains on your way and achieving the glorious victories on your journey to your goal.

.
.
{Repeating these lines, favourite and most powerful ones}

“God loves all of us equally and has given equal strength to everyone.

All the power is within you, you can do anything and everything.

Just believe in God and on infinite power you possess.”

.
.
Say, Thanks to God for what you have.
Nothing is Impossible. Set gigantic goals and make them come true.
Life is priceless gift of God.
Live life in a Meaningful way.
