WHEN YOU ARE TOUGH ON YOURSELF, LIFE IS EASY ON YOU

 

“For a man, to conquer himself is the first and noblest of all victories.”

The entire hall was in hushed silence and only the commanding voice of the teacher was heard. He told the entrepreneurs, “Individual good should be a by-product of serving the larger good. It Is, integrating spirituality into your materialistic life.” Tears welled up in my eyes. I choked. When you have a goal that is larger than life, you need to get the being right, which is the toughest task. In spite of the huge Cause that I am representing, where I am responsible for the lives of thousands of students, and the challenges I face, I am ready to touch the lives of billions of students. My Surrender to that infinite intelligence and my faith in the Force above has given me the courage to take up such a daunting task.

 Energy + Intelligent Effort + Faith in the Energy = Humongous Possibilities.

 All said and done, serving a larger Cause calls for a high level of self-discipline and transformation within. I realized that the desire to serve should be backed by the readiness to become who you should be in the chair. I was willing to change everything of myself to be worthy of the chair. It took me a while to acquire all the qualities expected in an educationist. It had very many challenges.  But for my spiritual connect, I wouldn’t be where I am today. He fast forwarded my maturity and helped me to look up to myself. From an agitated mind to an aligned mind, the journey was made seamless. Today I am experiencing holistic abundance along with holistic growth in my life.

 

I have grown into a person who has learnt to make what is necessary, compulsory in life. Be it meditating every day, exercising five days a week, eating health conscious food, accepting what is, is, never getting even with people, being systematic and disciplined, maintaining quality standards in the workplace, etc. I am able to chose what is right over what is easy and convenient. I am able to be tough on myself and so, life is easy on me. Taking up something or dropping something will become easy only if you are uncompromising on your discipline and develop a powerful mind. Take up one at a time.

“If you are easy on yourself, life will be very tough on you.”

  You can overcome your temptations to take the easy route when you have aspiration and goals that are big enough, when you want to gift yourself a better life and when you realize the need to transcend your limitations. You will be able to say no to laziness, procrastination, inconsistency, insincerity, inertia, arguments, gossip, and anything that is a stumbling block to your growth. What is most important should not be at the mercy of what is least important. Learn to prioritize.  Live a life of no compromise.
