HOW HARDWORK AND FAITH WORK TOGETHER FOR SUCCESS IN LIFE

HARDWORK AND FAITH WORK TOGETHER

There are some excerpts from the bhagwad gita which says…

whenever we pray to god or to the almighty or to the universe, we have to understand one thing that god is not something outside us.

god lives within us. we have to connect to that power from a different angle

and when we do connect with the god within us, we actually become him

and to become him, requires hard work, dedication and faith

just by having faith is not enough in life

you cannot just sit whole day in the alter sitting and praying for things to work without taking any required action and dream of things turning out magically for you

as said in the bhagwad gita, you should be prepared to back the faith up with tons of hard work

you should be able to make all that sacrifices it takes and work towards it Consistently without any expectations or rewards

eg. if you to become a writer, then rather than thinking about it, you would have to write, write and write and always focus on the job in hand and Keep working on your lessons

and that requires you to be self disciplined

it is so much easy to have a free afternoon and sit and watch television than to sit and write and complete the work in hand

these are the kind of sacrifices ( if you haven’t done your part of your work of writing, then you will have to skip your leisure and finish your work )

so when you put lot’s of hard work, Self discipline and along with that lots of faith, it is then that you experience happiness and wisdom and reach your goals

self discipline is the root of happy, healthy and stress free life

it is not something that someone can impose upon you but you yourself can Force upon yourself Because you know how happy the end results will be

so to achieve anything in life you need to have…

faith ( no fear + no doubts ) and self disciplined ( hardwork + sacrifice ) = Happiness and success in life

during a deep conversation between lord shiva and parvati, lord shiva revealed the secrets of success..

as a mortal being, you are limited, but as a child of god, you are unlimited – focus your attention on god and you shall have all the power you want in any direction

you develop the will power to do the things

when you make up your mind to achieve your aim, along with your dynamic will power, if you work hard, put in all your efforts and go on trying along with firm faith in god, god will definitely create the means you require

a mentor once compared ..

goal achievement to swimming across a channel

and said..

‘ when you are halfway between your starting point and destination, it may look as though you won’t complete the swim. however, if you continue to swim towards the finish line, you will get there eventually.

not being able to see the finishing line frightens us. however, we ought to trust that it is there and Continue to swim towards it’

this is the key to succeed at your goals and dream.

we must develop the discipline to commit to daily tasks that move us towards our ambitions

giving up may not be the right call. there could be other avenues to explore before we make that choice

faith, determination and a tenacious will are vital to achieving any goal and ambition

you can overcome any challenge as long as you keep moving

HARD WORK AND DEDICATION

true success is much more than material possessions. success comes from hard work and dedication.

these two are the two of the most important ingredients in achieving success in any endeavor

it means putting in the efforts to learn the skills needed to excel at something

it means not taking shortcuts, but instead putting in the time and efforts to ensure success

the road to success can be long, but with hard work and dedication, anything is possible

success isn’t about luck and talent, it is about consistently putting in the efforts to reach your goals

successful people know that failure is part of the journey to success.

they use failure as a tool to learn, grow and become better versions of themselves

to be successful, you must have an unshakable belief that success is possible with hard work and dedication

you must have faith in yourself and in the supreme energy and your ability to achieve your goals no matter what obstacles you face along the way

THERE’S A STORY RELATED TO FAITH AND HARD WORK TOGETHER FOR SUCCESS

once upon a time, there lived a farmer hari singh. people found him peculiar.

he never used to hang out with his friends, or sit idle or get in the gossip group nor had any vices like smoking or drinking.

he would never loiter here and there unlike most of the villagers.

otherwise, he was caring, sensitive, supportive and a loyal person

hari was a very hard working person. he kept to himself and his fields. he listened to everyone but kept aloof. he loved his farming work and was not afraid of working hard

so it was quite obvious that nature favored him and his fields

the oracle announced that there would be a famine, there would be no rains for a long time.

people were very upset. they were discussing and planning about their future plans

they tried to please god. special yagnas were performed. animals were sacrificed even though everyone knew one should be kind to animals. everything possible were being

the fields were neglected and abandoned. even the weeds started growing

hari as usual kept to himself. he told his wife to give whatever contribution were required for all the collective activities

he would go to his farms in the morning and plough them

others regarded him mad and made fun of him. hari’s wife felt insulted and tried to stop him, but he told her not to pay any attention to them

he believed the soil called to him – he was the soil’s true son

one day a small cloud was watching hari till the soil. the small cloud had also heard the comments, the sniggers and snickers behind hari’s back in the village

he became very curious. he looked down from the sky and asked hari,’ don’t you know there are going to be no rains for a long time?

hari looked up and realized that it was a small cloud and not somebody from his village teasing him

he being a polite person, he made an effort to explain to the cloud,

‘ son, i am a farmer and am doing my work. it is my habit to work in the fields daily. i know about no rains….if i won’t do my work for a long time i might even forget to do it. if rains decide to come then my field, my furrows will be ready for them’

the little cloud was very impressed by hari’s logic.

he got worried. he told to himself , ‘ this can happen to me as well. if i do not rain for along time, i also may forget to drop my rain‘

so he decided to get to work. it rained in hari’s fields

seeing this other villagers and clouds also decide to get back to business

MORAL OF THE STORY

If we do our allotted work with hard work and dedication along with strong faith with the almighty – we live happily.

why should we be frightened of things that happen, might happen, might not happen?

always do your best. push yourself and don’t waste your life.

success is the result of preparation, hard work and faith in the supreme

HERE’S TO CONCLUDE WITH A DISCLAIMER

i am no teacher or saint to preach or teach people

but by god’s grace i come upon such references from books and teachings from spiritual books which gives us a lot of wisdom and ways to live our valuable life meaningfully

and teach ourselves and the people whom we associate with – to live with the right code of conduct and to raise our standard of living

making smaller changes in life will not only help us be a better individual but also bring a valuable change in the society, in the current scenario which is very much required

however small it may be but let’s atleast start from OURSELVES

let’s make the world a better place with our small efforts in all aspects of living

so that’s all friends, hope i could bring some insight in you

until next time, keep smiling

much love .. stay happy .. stay blessed … ALWAYS
