Attitude
It is our own mental attitude which makes the world what it is for us.
Our thought make things beautiful, our thoughts make things ugly.
The whole world is in our own minds. Learn to see things in the proper light.
We must have friendship for all; we must be merciful to ward those that are in misery;
when people are happy, we ought to be happy; and to the wicked we must be in different.
These attitudes will make the mind peaceful.
Belief in Self
Never think there is anything impossible for the soul. It is the greatest heresy to think so.
If there is sin, this is the only sin; to say that you are weak, or others are weak.
If faith in ourselves had been more extensively taught and practiced,
I am sure a very large portion of the evils and miseries that we have would have vanished.
Concentration & Focus
The world is ready to giveup its secrets if we only know how to knock, how to give it the necessary blow.
The strength and force of the blow come through concentration. Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life think of it, dream of it, live on that idea.
Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave everyother idea alone.
This is the way to success.
Grumble Less, Work More
Those who grumble at the little thing that has fallen to their lot to do will grumble at everything.
Always grumbling they will lead a miserable life...
But those who do their duty putting their shoulder to the wheel duty putting their shoulder to the wheel
will see the light, and higher and higher duties will fall to their share.
Kindness & Service
Look up on everyman, woman, and everyone as God.
You cannot help anyone, you can onlyserve:
serve the children of the Lord, serve the Lord Himself, if you have the privilege.
Condemn none:
if you can stretch out a helping hand, do so.
If you cannot, fold your hands, bless your brothers, and let them go their own way.
Persistence
To succeed you must have tremendous perseverance, tremendous will.
"I will drink the ocean," says the persevering soul," at my will mountains will crumble.
"Have that sort of energy, that sort of will, work hard,
and you will reach the goal. reach the goal.
Don't look back - forward, infinite energy, infinite enthusiasm, infinite daring,
and infinite patience then alone can great deeds be accomplished.
Positive Thinking
If you think about disaster, you will get it. Brood about death and you hasten your demise.
Think positively and masterfully, with confidence and faith, and life becomes more secure,
more fraught with action, richerin achievement and experience.
Fill the brain with high thoughts, highest ideals,
place them day and night before you, and out of that will come great work.
Responsibility
Standup, be bold, be strong. Take the whole responsibility on your own shoulders, and know that you are the creator of your own destiny. All the strength and succor you want is within yourselves. Therefore, make your own future.
We are responsible for what we are, and what ever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act.
Serve: Do good
It is only by doing good to others that one attains
Portraitoon by Alexyz, one of Goa’s premier cartoonists
to others that one attains to one's own good.
