If you can think that
infinite power, infinite knowledge and indomitable energy lie within you, and
if you can bring out that power, you also can become like me.
- Swami Vivekananda
When I wake up in the morning, my first task
is to flip through my table-top quote calendar to get a daily dose of
inspiration. This bangs my day productive.
One blessing I enjoyed in my formative years was, my parents never pressed me to study for exams and giving this
liberty helped me to handle my affairs confidently.
In fact, it was not the trend in those times to plan the children for dream
careers as we do now a days. My father was busy in his office trade union
activities and mother being housewife had limited interference in my
activities which didn't mean that I was a rudderless ship. I used to
observe the world around me and tried to harness my potential. It helped
to blossom my ''Free Will''.
We generally tend to believe that outside agency is more influential than the inner instinct. This is
squarely wrong. You have an amazing technology within you which could
convert the bread into blood, says noted Indian spiritual guru Sadhguru Jaggi
Vasudev.
If you observe your body processes, you find that almost all critical
life processes are on auto-pilot mode and your subconscious mind is the
presiding deity of all such systems and sub-systems. But your conscious mind is left with a highly
combustible material called 'Free Will' This 'Free Will'' do
wonders if it is rightly harnessed for personal growth. One should not be
too sensuous and need to take decisions on moment to moment basis
cautiously to enrich in life.
There is a great saying : Wisdom is knowing what to do next; skill is
knowing how to do it; and virtue to doing it.
When you wake up in the morning the day should start with a bang. The
best way to do is choose your set of ''Power Quotes'' so that
the power of those words starts flowing into your system. By
cultivating it daily, it almost becomes your muscle memory and
strengthens your habit muscle. My morning's fiery quote since 2004
is this :
Deep within man dwell
those slumbering powers;
powers that would
astonish him, that he never dreamed of possessing;
forces that would revolutionize his life if aroused and put into
action.
- Orison Swett Marden
No doubt that inspiring personalities radically influence your actions.
But the secret lies in realizing your self-worth. If you
start taking everything as a learning experience, you would be on the growth
path. Ralph Waldo Emerson says that every
man I meet is my superior in some way and in that I learn of him.
Knowledge is not pumping information into your head as show-off before others. It is to remain wise every
moment and contemplative in actions. This happens when you have
confidence on you.
