Believe You Can!
Today, Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj spoke of how a positive mindset and attitude can help us reach our goals. Often, we grow up conditioned to focus on our shortcomings and weaknesses. This instills in us self-doubt and a lack of confidence, which cause us to question our ability to reach our goals. Sharing accounts from humanity’s rich history of overcoming challenges, such as innovations in transportation, medicine, and technology, he described how we have been able to triumph in the face of obstacles by focusing our attention and working diligently.
If we believe in our potential and put in the effort, we can reach our goals. However, if we focus on our shortcomings and failures, we will be reluctant to take the first step. To succeed in whatever we undertake, we need to adopt a positive attitude, be diligent in our efforts, and focus on our destination. This approach also applies to the spiritual arena.
When we begin to question the meaning of life and seek answers to life’s mysteries, we embark on a spiritual quest. If on this quest we remain focused on the goal of spiritual upliftment, put in earnest efforts, and stay confident and positive, we are bound to find the answers—all of which lie within. Through the process of meditation, we realize our true nature as soul and experience the love and light of God. Once we realize God’s presence, our lives are transformed and our difficulties fade away. We find the stability that we seek in the ever-changing outer world, and we move unfazed and undeterred toward life’s most supreme goal. It all begins with the belief that we can achieve our goal.
