A person named Dvij, approached to an astrologer and asked
for a way out for his wishes to be fulfilled. He complained that whenever he
takes any step towards his wishes, lot of obstruction occurs and he leaves his
work in between. The astrologer suggested a “UPAAY” (way out). He told that
write all your wishes on a paper and go to a temple and put in the feet of an idol
and repeat your wishes with faith and devotion, do this regularly for 21 days,
your wishes will be fulfilled. After 21 days, again, Dvij approached and
thanked astrologer for the fabulous way out started working for him. What would
you say…. Blind belief.. Or some science is working behind that...! We should not
forget that the ritual in religion is a science in hidden.
If you do something for 21 days continuously, you can firm
any good habit or relinquish your bad habits. Working on some habit continuously
for 21 days can become your second nature. You have to put your effort on any
habit for 21 days without a break, after that, it will continue automatically for
the rest of your life without any hurdle.
Why 21 days ….?
Because, our body, mind and senses requires minimum 21 days
to form any habit. Initially, when you take steps to do it, your mind, body and
senses would resist you, they will not allow you to persist, and they will give
you many reasons to stop it, but refuse to listen to them. If you listen to them
and try to fulfill all of the demands of your mind, body and senses, you will
fall down. The demands of your uncontrolled mind, body and senses are prone to
negativity, their demands make you fall down, give you miseries. 90% of miseries
and unethical things take place in our life, because of the unbridled demands
of the mind, body and senses.
Do not listen to their unethical and unproductive demands
and waste your beautiful time and energy in the supply of that. If you ignore
them for a few days, they will start listening to you. This is the correct
hierarchy. They should follow you, not vice-versa. They need to accept you as a
master, not a slave. This is the technique of success in any pursuit. To make
your mind, body and senses accept you as a master for any habit and pursuit, it
requires 21 days. You have to take care of 21 days, the rest of the life they
will take care of your goals, desires and demands. These are the instruments
have been gifted to you to accomplish something significant and great in your
life, do not waste it, because you cannot take the 21 day challenge in your
life. In 21 days you program your subconscious mind to take positive steps
towards your goal.
The biggest challenge of taking the 21 day challenge, is
taking the first step towards it. No obstruction or predicament is greater than
taking the first step. Set your goal, decide your purpose, determine your image
what you want to carve and make steps for it, take the first step with faith
and determination, and you will find that something great, something
significant, something valuable taking place in your life.
Do not say that I will start from tomorrow… tomorrow never
comes. Put date and take this 21 days challenge to make your life better and
meaningful.
