HOW DO YOUR DESIRES BECOME DESERVINGNESS?

                

 My mother used to always say, ”I need to pinch myself to believe that this school building is a reality.” An eighty-five thousand square feet building was definitely a far cry from a thatched shed! It took quite some years to achieve such a monumental growth. But it was always her dream to build a masterpiece for her students. And it happened one day. How? Through her consistent and relentless striving.

 I have always heard people expressing their dreams and desires and I never understood it at all. It was not about dreaming big, but more of wishful thinking. Man has endless desires in life. Some are logical, while some are illogical. Yet he keeps desiring for most and more. But by just dreaming and desiring, nothing happens. We need to work towards it.

 Mahatria Ra, the diviner of the Path, infinitheism, says, “Desires become deservingness only through consistent directed self-motivated effort.”

Let’s see what it means. Desires can come true only if we are consistent. Doing anything once in a way will not lead to progress and growth. That which is done on a daily basis will only help you achieve results. A student can achieve high scores only if he has a regular study time, a sportsman can win a game only if he practices every day, we can achieve good fitness level only if we exercise regularly, we can be healthy only if we eat heath conscious food on a daily basis. So, consistency is the key. This explains why each one became popular in their chosen field.

 Being consistent alone is not enough. Is our intelligence in the right direction? Define what you want to achieve and then choose what is the most suitable process. Participating in an inter-school competition is different from participating at the national level. The preparation is altogether different. Adopt the right method. The fitness level of an Olympian is far greater than that of a national champion. To be a topper at the state level in the Board exam calls for dedicated studies and much greater preparation. Give a direction to your desire.

 Those who are externally motivated do not achieve much growth. They wait to be pushed always. Only those who are intrinsically motivated reach very far in life as they are relentless and unstoppable. So, we need to be self-motivated. The goal itself should motivate us.

 Nothing is achieved without intelligent effort. Having defined your goal, find out what you need to drop and what you need to take up in order to achieve your goal. Time is the greatest resource in hand. How you utilize your time to achieve your goal makes all the difference. You should be ready to give up anything that is a deterrent to reaching your goal. Thus, your desires become deservingness.

 Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam said,” Dream is not that you see while sleeping. It is something that does not let you sleep.”
