In Life-There will be Obstacles, there will be Fear, there will be Mistakes But with Clear Destination & Determination there is no Limit for Success
Sky is not the Limit
Every human is a student for life. Because the universe never stops teaching us and learning constantly happens irrespective of we being conscious of it or not or wanting it or now.
Learning is as much about learning to unlearn the unwanted as it is about learning what is necessary. Unlearning is a power possessed only by human beings. An animal can only be trained but never untrained what it has once been taught. But a human being can train and un-train himself.
There is a difference between Learning and Education. As I said, Learning is an automatic process, Education however is the acumination of information in a specific way. You need to understand that education cannot be given, it can only be taken, consciously and with interest. The fundamental need for education is creating interest. Once there is an interest; learning is automatic. What you study with interest stays with you forever.
But education, learning and the accumulation of knowledge alone aren’t enough, it has to be put to use. And one must follow the below three principles to put knowledge to best use for oneself and for the world…
From a scholar to a pillar: We pursue education to learn more and become scholars. In their quest for education, many are perhaps scholars already. But knowledge should not be used to gain power or control over others.
What is most important is not being just a scholar but a pillar for the future for yourself and others. And who is a pillar? A pillar is a person who uses his knowledge to bring about a positive shift in society. To raise it from poverty to prosperity, from illness to wellness and from problems to peace.
The power of Self-belief: It does not matter how many people believe in you and how much they believe in you. For any progress in life what is important is how much you believe in yourself. And every one of us deserves to believe in ourselves. This belief serves one well when we compete with experts, which everyone will at some point. Your self-belief helps you realize that you might be novice today but that does not mean you cannot be an expert; because every expert too was once a novice. With self-belief, you know you will be an expert where you desire.
A destination in mind: And what’s more important than knowledge and what is it that brings focus to knowledge? It is having a destination or a clear vision for oneself. Because without a clear destination, your education, knowledge and power would be directionless. When you have a destination in mind there is no choice but to perform the to the best of your ability; not waiting for the best resources to be available but doing the best with the resources available. When one has a vision for themselves, their every action and thought is in alignment with their vision.
Following the above three principals one becomes a source of peace, success and happiness not only for himself, but for the society and for the world.
We’ve all heard about ‘Sky being the limit’ but for the one with the decision to become a pillar and with a clear destination in mind, even the sky will not be the limit.
Wishing you a life of peace, success and happiness.
