Self-confidence
is the key to success
Pt. Shriram Sharma Acharya
If you consider someone as happy and successful,
then closely study the course of his life. If possible, ask him directly –
‘Have you never encountered any problems in your life?’ Then you will know that
peace and prosperity have not been showered on him randomly from the sky. His
life has also been tested and tried by difficulties and problems as yours is
being tested now.
When you realize this truth, again try to
investigate – ‘Who liberated him from that web of distress?’ Did any magician
come and wave his magic wand and all his problems vanished? On exploring
deeply, you will find that it is his self-confidence that has been mainly
helpful in overcoming the problems. When all the near and dear ones had left
him alone, it was this self-confidence that assured him that there was hope and
inspired him to resolutely go on trying against all odds.
Believe me! Your present problems are the result
of your lack of will and self-confidence. You have accepted defeat without
fight. You have developed a negative attitude that you cannot do anything; you
cannot overcome the distress. You are finding darkness all around. There is no
one to show you the light; there seems no way for you to get rid of the
suffering. Now awaken your self-confidence, and with an optimistic attitude
evaluate the resources at hand, though they might appear relatively meager, and
try to utilize them to solve your problems. Within a short time you will find
that the circumstances have started changing for the better; the hopelessness
has turned into hope and failure has started turning into success.
Thanks GOD, Thanks Sadguru,
Shiv Sharma
