My Dear Friend Very Good Morning ... Mantras for Success !!
1. Skill
2. Energy, and
3. Dynamism
If you have skill, you have energy and you don’t do anything, then you
can’t be successful. And you simply doing things without having skill, then
also it doesn’t work. Also, if you have skill and dynamism, but don’t have the
energy then also success will not come. For success to come what is needed are
skill, energy, and then dynamism. You have to be dynamic. You have to work
hard. All three things are needed!!
There are people who sit and plan and plan and plan. They spend all
their life planning but don’t do anything. Around 15 to 20 years ago, a youth
used to come to our satsangs in Bangalore. And he would buy every month about
25 magazines on How to be successful and How to make money. And he would go on
reading them, and go on planning, and every time he would come and say, ‘I have
this great magazine, I got this great idea, please bless me.’ I said, ‘Okay! Go
do it.’ The next week he would come with another magazine and ask the same type
of blessing. One year passed by; I also had patience and thought one day he
would start something. But he never started anything. He would only keep buying
magazines, keep asking me for advice, and keep making big plans, typing it all
on the computer and that is it. We have 100 acres of land for agriculture at
the Bangalore Ashram, and this other gentleman, he would sit on the computer
and make all these plans of where he will sow which seed, and how he will
cultivate. He was the Head of Department for Agriculture. All other people at
the Ashram would say, ‘He does agriculture only on the computer.’ He would sit
in the room and plan. Never went to the field to sow the seeds. Similarly, this
man was buying all these magazines and reading. One day, I called him and said,
‘Look, no more blessings. I do not want my blessings to go
waste. Blessings will work only when you make an effort. So, you
keep all these magazines aside. Don’t read or buy anymore magazines. Take up
one thing and work on it, and you will be successful.’ Why I said this is
because sometimes people with great idea don’t bring it into the practical
field. And there are others who do a lot of hard work without thinking and
without planning. They also can’t be successful. So you have to do both.
Without blessings things don’t move, I know. Blessings are
essential, but blessings alone will not work, because somebody has to do
work as well. Yes! Work
along with blessings, will make you successful. Even after you do your
hard work and you find success, the real success is in your confidence. The real success is how confident you are, how much you keep smiling,
and how boldly you can walk. That indicates your success.
Just know that you will have enough time and energy to do what you were born to do in this life
