Let
me call it a force, for convenience sake.
This
force is felt always everywhere. It makes the journey to success a hard
struggle.
Man
is born to succeed, otherwise he cannot sustain. If this is the fact, the
journey to success must be an easy one. But we know that the journey to success
is the most difficult one in this life.
Why
it is so? It is because of this negative force that does not want anyone to
succeed.
I
am not talking spiritual. I speak with my legs firmly footed on earth.
Fact
is always fact. There is something around us all that does not want us to
succeed.
It
makes the journey to success a struggle.
It
is not a struggle to meet both the ends. It is a struggle to achieve success in
our life. It is a struggle to be on top of the victorious stand.
It
is not a struggle for existence; it is a struggle for a successful life.
The
negative force starts operating as soon as we announce our arrival on this
earth with our first cry.
It
never leaves us.
From
there onwards it discourages every move, every speech, and every action. It
disapproves all our dreams.
It
operates through our parents, relatives, friends, neighbors, teachers and all
those who we meet in our everyday life. They speak of the hardships, the
impossibilities and all negative circumstances around us.
They
draw our attention to the wild nature of our dream.
They
advise us to look around and live accordingly.
When
advice does not stop us, they will come up with threats: isolation,
disapproval, non cooperation, disgust and so on.
They
will express their worries about our future because we are heading with a wild
dream. They are afraid that we have gone nuts!
There
is still a greater medium for the negative force to work against us: our own mind.
We feel that some is always warning us not to go on with these dreams.
At
every slipped foot, the negative force gathers more power and discourages us
with the words: “Did not I tell you…”
These
self warnings are the hardest hurdle.
The
glad news about all these is that there are thousands around us who have overcome
this negative force. We read the stories of many successful people; there are
many more whose life story has not reached the news paper.
At
this very moment, while you are reading this small note, there is someone in
this world who has just defeated this force.
If
another can do it, we too can do it.
Defeat
it; kill it forever.
Henry
Ford had only two eyes, one nose, one mouth, two hands, two legs …
We
too have two eyes, one nose, one mouth, two hands, two legs ….
There
is no superman in this world. There are only ordinary people who have defeated
the negative force with persistence and perspiration.
The glad news is that you are the next
successful person.
Do not listen to what others around you
say about your dream – your dream is yours, not theirs.
Do not look at the raging waves around,
look at the finishing point far above.
Do not relay on others for your success,
you cannot succeed with the talents of somebody else.
Never stop running, whenever you feel
tired, crawl. Still move forward.
Success is not a forbidden fruit; it is
a blessing of God. So you have a right to it.
Your success is yours, you are not
grabbing from someone else. It is a gift for hard work.
Wishing you all success!
