The Power Within

 Excuse is a very pernicious disease. The treatment of this disease is not so easy also. No matter how much talent, skill, potential, power, and energy you have, you can achieve nothing significant in your life, if you are suffering from the disease known as excuse. It is the skill killer. It is the big obstructer of your success in your life. Making excuse of not doing any work looks very easy, and once you form this habit, you promptly and frequently use that. We can understand the difference between the success and futile person or the potential to be success and failure in his life, by the amount of his excuses and alibis. The people with excuses never try anything new in their life. Before taking any assignment, they find plenty of logic, why this assignment or plan will fail. They become expert enough to garner all the information and logic why this will fail. Even, without listening anything, they start speaking and fabricating the matter for excuses to get the failure i...

In Mythology, the stories, gods and goddesses, demons and idols; these all are the symbols to convey the message of the truth to the masses. The stories and symbolism leave the long lasting impression on the mind of the people. That is why; these media to tell the truth become so popular.

            Lord Brahma, the creator, created this cosmos and all the creatures. Demons and gods are the children of Lord Brahma. Demons are elder and gods are younger. Although, they are the offspring of the same creator, yet they do not like each-other. They keep fighting to prove them right and control the regime of the cosmos. Demons look physically stronger than gods. Demons defeat gods at the beginning and control the entire regime. Once they get their regime and victory over gods, they start spread their atrocity, they go against the scripture, religions, they indulge only in sensual gratification, they do not think that there is bigger and supreme thing than this. They start assume themselves supreme and ultimate controller of the cosmos by rejecting the existence of the supreme personality of the Godhead. They prove themselves precarious for the established cosmos. They live in darkness, lack of knowledge, bereft of what t...

Mental preparation is more valuable than physical preparation. The person who has an equal capability to have mastery in both the preparations becomes invincible in his life. The real victory is not only handling the trophy, rather the real victory is the commitment not to give up at any situation. Ups and downs are the part and parcel of the life. You would not find anyone who has not confronted the ups and downs, victory and defeat, success and failure in his journey of life. Both the situations, favorable and unfavorable are temporary. The real champions are those, who never get perverted in both the situations. One boxer was almost invincible at his time. He challenged all the contemporary boxers to have bout with him; no one could have garnered the courage to accept his challenge. One person, who was an average boxer, accepted his challenge. He started his preparation for the big box day. No doubt, physically, the former boxer was stronger. The second boxer started preparing...

Life is not something which can be left on chance. Groping in the darkness in the hope to find the way of a grand life is also not going to help. Floundering in the darkness means bumping yourselves against the wall. To get the door of the life, you must first dissipate the darkness from the life. You also cannot sham like putting your palms on your eyes and shouting and complaining about the darkness outside. In fact, there is no darkness; there is simply the absence of the light. Once you ignite the light, the darkness dissipates automatically. The light and darkness cannot co-exist. You have to learn to lit the light of knowledge to dispel the darkness of your life. You cannot see your life as it is without the light of knowledge. No one can help much to lit the light of your life on your behalf, if you are taking the responsibility in your hand. You have to struggle and strive to set alight of your life. The spark of the vivid life is hidden within you, you need not go an...
