DO IT LONG ENOUGH

            

      “Life is like a notebook. It’s up to us to either scribble on it or to write poetry on it.” mahatria Ra

 The imaginary finishing line is what differentiates a champion from an also ran. The finals of this year’s Wimbledon was one of its kind. Carlos Alcaraz created history by beating the four-time defending champion, Novak Djokovic. Carlos grew up watching the games of all the Wimbledon champions, and at twenty, he won the Wimbledon championship. He practiced long enough to become a champion at twenty! It took what it took for him to receive world recognition. Give up would have been a major part of his life. As a youngster, he would have given up many of the pleasures his friends would have indulged in, so that he could achieve his dream one day. It would have certainly been a life of great discipline, with his goal in mind. When a desire is backed up by a goal system, you achieve it.

 “Discipline enables you to be the master of your time and thus do what is important before it becomes urgent”

 Anything done long enough becomes a habit. What is most important is, to not give up. Some of them give up, not realizing that they were very close to success. Every champion has a clear focus. They use their time productively. They are the masters of their time. They know to prioritize. They plan a daily schedule. If you can concentrate long enough you can see a difference in your marks. By scoring good marks in each test, it helps you to score high marks in every school exam. Eventually, you stun yourself by scoring incredible marks in the Board exam. But the journey will be tough. There will be moments of despair, times when you will feel like giving up, days when you will be tempted, moments when you will feel like throwing away everything and partying. Just pause at those moments, without being impulsive. Understand that you need to give up to go up in life. Here, give up is not a sacrifice. Rather, it is giving up wrong ways to embrace the right ways, which will only help you to go up.

“Your habits become your values. Your values become your destiny”

  If you can hold on to your value system long enough, you can grow up to become a wonderful human- being. There will be temptations on the way. Can you overcome these temptations? Your environment will play a huge role in who you turn out to be. So, you need to take care of whose company you keep, as a student or as a professional. A man is known by the company he keeps. Be in the right company to get your thoughts right, and thereby your actions. Living a value-based life will give you peace and happiness. It will make you trustworthy and reliable. It will help you to build relationships as well as grow in your professional ladder. More than receiving an endorsement from the world, when you hold on to your values always, you grow in your eyes. You start believing in yourself and feel proud of who you are.

 When you hold on to your Faith long enough, you will be carried by Him. I have had testing and challenging times in life. But I just persisted. My guru once said, “God will test you, but He will never forsake you.” From then on, I have just held on to my Faith with Gratitude in my heart. My Faith in the Almighty is very strong. So, I never feel I am alone. There is an unseen Hand above my head and a Force that fights all my battles.” Faith is beyond human judgement. Faith is the ability to trust what you are not able to see. The reward of faith is that one day you will be able to see what you always believed in.” I have my daily appointment with my God. I meditate everyday without absenteeism. It is a constant in my life. Today, experientially I can say that, when a thought is released from the seat of Silence, a mere wish becomes a command to the Universe!

 Whatever you take up, hold it long enough, and don’t give up. You will be rewarded abundantly in life.

1.Fix a goal

The goal system is a priceless opportunity to motivate yourself. Consistency is achieved only through emotional participation. Think like a winner. “Arise, awake and stop not till the goal is reached.”
