CREATE THE LIFE YOU
DESIRE
BHASKAR JYOTI BORAH
Life is not a dream. It is a reality. But with our
conscious efforts we can create a life we desire. We can make even hell a
heaven with our efforts. We need to develop the capacities to transform
ourselves to the level of our goals. If we can do it, we can achieve anything.
This is the only simple secret of success. But unfortunately even after knowing
the secrets most of us have not been able to get their desired success. I have
written in my previous blog “What Helps Us” on this. Knowing the secret is
different, and putting it into practice earnestly is different. Therefore,
there is no single factor in our life that will give us an overwhelming success
in life. We must make ourselves capable enough to achieve our goals because success will never lower its standard for us.
Dear Readers, here I am going to write about the
various principles that help us to create a life that we desire.
1. The little little principle:
Drop by drop of water makes a
mighty ocean. Seconds make minutes, minutes
make an hour, an hour makes a day, a day makes an year and years a whole
life. If we want to make happen big things to us, we must be able to take care
of the smallest things. If we can’t master the art of doing the smallest things
in a great manner, we won’t be able to do great things and achieve more. We
mustn’t run after achievements; we must run after our passion. We must run
after what we love to do and master the art of doing it in a great manner
little by little in baby steps. When we start doing little by little, step by
step, there is less possibility of failing.
2. The principle of Faith:
The principle of faith is very
important to create the life you desire. Where there is no faith, doubts arise.
Doubts give birth to fear. When fear overcomes faith success will be paralyzed.
Unless we learn to overcome fear, we can’t develop faith. We need to develop
faith in our own self, faith in our work, faith in the people who is in our
relationship and faith in God to succeed. We can develop faith only when we put
ourselves into action. Without action, developing faith is not possible. We
need to plan our action pertaining to our goals. Goals are very important for
achievements. We need to set goals, plan our actions to achieve our goals one
by one. When we start achieving our goals, we will develop more faith upon ourselves.
When our faith upon ourselves increases we can move even mountains.
3. The Principle of Determination:
Determination implies the will to
stay with your goal, comes whatever. Determination gives the will not to give
up. We must develop iron determination. Difficulties are adamantine. We need to
develop iron will to overcome adamantine difficulties. Therefore, nothing can
take the place of determination. It shapes our will. It develops our will
power. It provides us with more concentration to do our works properly. We must
try to choose our goals wisely so that we remain more determined for their
achievement.
4. The Principle of Courage:
Faith and courage go together.
Courage and confidence will come only when we become competent. We should know
more, to achieve more. Ignorance creates fear. Therefore we must overcome our
self doubts by working hard with tiny achievements. Ahead of fear lies success.
We must train our nerves to control fear and to replace it by faith, love and
devotion to our work. Courage will automatically follow.
5. The Principle of Knowledge:
Francis Bacon once said, “Knowledge
is power.” Ignorance is the root of all problems and evils. Knowledge is the
only power that will lead us to our goals. Knowledge about the work to be done,
knowledge about the personality traits to reach our goals, knowledge about
healthy relationship, knowledge about management – all goes long way in determining
our success.
6. The Principle of Devotion:
Where there is love, there is
devotion. Where there is devotion, there is happiness and prosperity in
abundance. There is inner peace and inner freedom. When we choose to do the
work we love, when we decide the way we would love to travel – the journey
becomes interesting. There is unending joy and happiness and the work becomes a
spontaneous process. This is what the various religions teach us. When we do
that what we love we become free from any stress, pressure at work and
unnecessary anxieties. Doesn’t matter what job we are doing, but we will enjoy
a rich and fuller life with devotion and love.
7. The Principle of Action:
Give not yourself up to pleasure
Do not give up effort,
Work incessantly and cheerfully
Cultivate comprehensives,
Neither depend on others
nor put your burden on them.
-
Ramdas, Saint-poet-philosopher of
Maharashtra, India
The quality of the result of any
work is determined by the quality of action. If the action is good, the result
will be good. As you sow, so you reap. The intensity of the action is
determined by the quality of the work. The quality of the work is determined by
the quality of goals. We must choose higher goals in our life so that we can
raise ourselves to the level of our goals. A.P.J.Abdul Kalam said, “Small aim
is a crime.” Our aim should be an ideal one, and our goals should be higher to
make our achievements bigger. To achieve more, we must work in a manner which
is sufficient to satisfy our goals. It should not be less than that or more
than that. While in action, we must always remember the principle of devotion.
8. The Principle of Surrender:
Principle of surrender is a principle
of very high order. We can develop this principle only when you have developed
required faith and courage in your goal. We have to merge yourself with your
goals. We must have your faith on your work to surrender our self to our work.
If not, then perhaps we might be eyeing upon other options. If we change our goal then we have to start
afresh.
9. The Principle of Persistence:
We must develop the habit of never
giving up. Whatever happens, we must remain on our path. We should never cease
to do our work. Come whatever may be, we must remain on our affixed duties,
goals and principles if we want to create the life that we desire.
10.
The
Principle of Self-reliance:
Self-reliance is the highest virtue. Dependency
destroys our self initiatives. Dependency delays the process of our
achievements. We need to take the whole responsibility upon our self. We can’t
expect that our work will be done by somebody else for us. Find out means to
handle your work properly. We need to work like a master. When we involve our self
in the A to Z of a work, we know it fully. It gives us more experience,
knowledge and skill. Therefore we must cultivate among us the habit of
self-reliance. We must continuously upgrade our self by our self and not
degrade our self by our own effort.
