Conception

Concentration

Focus only on what it takes Be continually goal-oriented Remove each and every distraction Get a hold on your senses Be 100% in the Now & Here

Concentration

“Even the lowest shoeblack, if he gives more concentration, will black shoes better; the cook will cook a meal... better. In making money, stronger the concentration, the better will that thing be done.”

“The world is ready to give up 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.”

Consistency

Practise stubborn regularity in your duty Persevere like Bhagiratha (read story here) DO NOT keep jumping from one thing to

another Offer yourself “No Excuses” Have a “zero distractions” policy

Consistency

“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 every other idea alone. This is the way to success... If we want to be really blessed, and make others blessed, we must go deeper.”

Commitment

Get 100% engaged with your task Connect deeply with your goals and tasks Connect deeply with your team Make conscious choices to do and succeed Discover your own infinite energy sources

Commitment

“To succeed, you must have tremendous perseverance, tremendous will. 'I will drink the ocean', says the persevering soul, 'at my will, mountains will crumble up.' Have that sort of energy, that sort of will; work hard, and you will reach the goal.”

Character

Trust your conscience Be guided by your heart Your character >> health Your character >>> wealth Is your personality!

Character

“Education is not the amount of info that is put into your brain and runs riot there, undigested all your life. We must have life-building, man-making, character-making assimilation of ideas. If you have assimilated five ideas and made them your life and character, you have more education than any man who has got by heart a whole library.”

Character

“The route to the Good is the toughest and steepest in the universe. It is a wonder that so many succeed, no wonder that so many fail. Character has to be established through a thousand stumbles.”

Capability & Strength

Is your motivation and efficiency in working towards an intended goal.

Is something more than your capacity to perform.

Is your skill in removing all obstacles to your learning & achievement

Capability & Strength

“By doing well the duty which is nearest to us, the duty which is in our hands now, we make ourselves stronger; and improving our strength in this manner step by step, we may reach a state in which it shall be our privilege to do the most coveted and honored duties in life and in society.”

Capability & Strength

“The remedy for weakness is not brooding over weakness, but thinking of strength. Teach men of the strength that is already within them.”

“The sign of life is strength and growth. The sign of death is weakness. Whatever is weak, avoid! ... If it is strength, go down into hell and get hold of it! ...None but the brave deserves the fair.”

Capability & Strength

“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.”

Capability & Strength

“We speak of many things parrot-like, but never do them; speaking and not doing has become a habit with us. What is the cause of that? Physical weakness... First of all, our young men must be strong... Be strong, my young friends; that is my advice to you. You will be nearer to heaven through football... You will understand... better with your biceps, your muscles, a little stronger.”
