Make Success Your Life's Mantra

The only thing required is to make our thoughts pure and positive. Set goals in your life, only then will God help you. Without setting a goal for oneself, one cannot succeed in life.

We all desire our days to be spent in happiness - However, only the truly blessed soul is always happy. A pre-requisite for happiness is success in all our endeavors. Therefore, we go to great lengths to ensure that we succeed in all that we do. But here also, things don't go the way we want to all the time.

To prevent failure, we put in the maximum possible effort to succeed - But ironically, in spite of our desire for success, more often than not, we ourselves undermine our efforts by thinking negatively. Psychologist William James said, "Every moment we are changing our life according to the thoughts we have". He had also added, "the biggest invention of twentieth century is that a man can change his fate by his will power".

It may be hard to believe, but through our thoughts, we are responsible for our success or failure - After all, every human action begins with a thought, which is followed by reflection, a decision and then action. If our thoughts and actions are in complete harmony, we attain success. However, if the mind is full of doubts or fear about the task we are performing, it undermines our chances of success.

The way we think will determine the way our body cells will work for us - We are like the commander of a submarine, looking through a periscope to get our findings. Ahead of us are icebergs which are like enemies waiting to attach at a vulnerable point. Behind us is the fog and beneath the fathomless sea. As a commander, we send these reports down, one after another, to the men in the submarine, since they cannot look out; they do not know how far your report is true and therefore, accept it without question. They will sit down in despair with your negative information and feel there no use trying.

Similar will be the situation if we send negative thoughts to the cells of our body.
