Our Inspiration
Everyone wants to be successful in life, but not many are aware of what success really is. Success is an attitude, not just a phenomenon.
There are five ingredients for success:
Function as a Team:
Peace and prosperity are interlinked. Prosperity cannot flourish in a disturbed atmosphere. While working with others, you need to function as a team. Have a sense of respect for your team members, and do not indulge in blame games.
Manage your Mind:
If you can manage your mind, then you can manage any situation. When performing action, if the attention is only on the end result, then you can’t perform. Just give yourself fully to the task with 100 percent sincerity and commitment.
Be courageous like a lion:
Great wealth comes to one who has the courage of a lion and who puts in all his efforts. Passion and dispassion are complementary like the in-breath and out-breath. You breathe in but you cannot hold the breath too long; you have to breathe out.
Develop your Intuition:
If all that is needed for prosperity is one’s own effort, then why are so many people who put effort not prosperous? This unknown factor or luck is enhanced by spirituality. Spirituality enhances intelligence and intuition.
Intuition comes to you when you balance your passion with dispassion; profit with service; aggressiveness to get things with compassion to give back to the society. Intuition is the right thought at the right time, and is an important component for success in business.
Meditate:
The greater responsibilities and ambitions you have, greater is the need for you to meditate. Meditation is essential in today’s hectic lifestyle full of stress and tension. Meditation not only relieves you of stress and strain, it also enhances your abilities, strengthens your nervous system and mind and releases toxins from the body.
The sign of success is overwhelming joy, confidence, compassion, generosity, and a smile that none can snatch away. Whatever happens in life, if you can keep these, then you have really found success.
