Determination story

In 1883, a creative engineer named John Roebling was inspired by an idea to build a spectacular bridge connecting New York with the Long Island. However bridge building experts throughout the world thought that this was an impossible feat and told Roebling to forget the idea. It just could not be done. It was not practical. It had never been done before.

Roebling could not ignore the vision he had in his mind of this bridge. He thought about it all the time and he knew deep in his heart that it could be done. He just had to share the dream with someone else. After much discussion and persuasion he managed to convince his son Washington, an up and coming engineer, that the bridge in fact could be built.

Working together for the first time, the father and son developed concepts of how it could be accomplished and how the obstacles could be overcome. With great excitement and inspiration, and the headiness of a wild challenge before them, they hired their crew and began to build their dream bridge.

The project started well, but when it was only a few months underway a tragic accident on the site took the life of John Roebling. Washington was injured and left with a certain amount of brain damage, which resulted in him not being able to walk or talk or even move.
 

"We told them so."
"Crazy men and their crazy dreams."
"It`s foolish to chase wild visions."

Everyone had a negative comment to make and felt that the project should be scrapped since the Roeblings were the only ones who knew how the bridge could be built. In spite of his handicap Washington was never discouraged and still had a burning desire to complete the bridge and his mind was still as sharp as ever.

He tried to inspire and pass on his enthusiasm to some of his friends, but they were too daunted by the task. As he lay on his bed in his hospital room, with the sunlight streaming through the windows, a gentle breeze blew the flimsy white curtains apart and he was able to see the sky and the tops of the trees outside for just a moment.

It seemed that there was a message for him not to give up. Suddenly an idea hit him. All he could do was move one finger and he decided to make the best use of it. By moving this, he slowly developed a code of communication with his wife.

He touched his wife's arm with that finger, indicating to her that he wanted her to call the engineers again. Then he used the same method of tapping her arm to tell the engineers what to do. It seemed foolish but the project was under way again.

For 13 years Washington tapped out his instructions with his finger on his wife's arm, until the bridge was finally completed. Today the spectacular Brooklyn Bridge stands in all its glory as a tribute to the triumph of one man's indomitable spirit and his determination not to be defeated by circumstances. It is also a tribute to the engineers and their team work, and to their faith in a man who was considered mad by half the world. It stands too as a tangible monument to the love and devotion of his wife who for 13 long years patiently decoded the messages of her husband and told the engineers what to do.

Perhaps this is one of the best examples of a never-say-die attitude that overcomes a terrible physical handicap and achieves an impossible goal.

Often when we face obstacles in our day-to-day life, our hurdles seem very small in comparison to what many others have to face. The Brooklyn Bridge shows us that dreams that seem impossible can be realised with determination and persistence, no matter what the odds are.

Even the most distant dream can be realized with determination and persistence.

Create your own rules

Break the existing tradition, the existing thought process of the society and a new convention will be setup. As Robin Sharma says "The best way to redefine convention is to break the existing convention". Make sure you live your life on your terms, on your beliefs. You do what you want to, you become what you want to, you decide what is right and wrong for yourself, you don't let your neighbors or friends affect your action. At the end of the day when you go to sleep it is your action that will give you pleasure and the time wasted on thinking about neighbors and friends will haunt you.  You can continue getting affected by the society or create your own rules and let others follow it. This is the first step towards success, creating and following your own rules. Whatever you perceive becomes a reality. No one creates your reality, it is only you who is responsible for your action and state of being. World is the way you look at it. Just keep aside all the thoughts that limit you, you can have and be infinite of anything. You are infinite energy. Your thoughts are your energy and this energy creates your reality.

Got a dream, go get it.

In this article I am not going to explain or tell you anything, I guess the words below said by Will Smith in the movie Pursuit of Happiness  explains everything.

Awaken the divine inside you

Don't get shocked, there is divine inside everyone of us, its just that the negativity of our thoughts and our negligence have made it dormant. Yes its true that everyone of us is divine, we all have the same divine powers that created this universe. We were all divine on our first day i.e. the day we were born. We all had the power to get everyone to love us even when we cried. But with days as our thoughts built up we suppressed this divine power.  The only way to awaken the divine is by giving love. Love has the power to move things around. Love is magic. It is the only power with which the universe functions and we all are abundant with it. The more love you give, more in sync you get with the universe i.e. the divine and more in sync you get with the divine, more divine you become. Divine power is nothing but the power of love and you too are abundant with it. you don't need to seek love outside, you are abundant with it, the moment you start seeking it more unhappy you become. So, don't look for love just give love. More you give love more happy you will become.

Run the extra mile

Make sure that your today is always better than yesterday. Before going to sleep take down things which you regret not having done today and for one second wished that you should have done it and make sure tomorrow you do atleast one of those. Let me warn you before hand even the next day when the time for execution comes you will feel like "let it go" but there you need to take control of your will power and under any circumstances you must execute it. It is such a powerful tool to develop rock solid will power and strength. It can be anything like getting up early in the morning, going for jog, running the extra mile, doing the extra push ups, reading a book, starting some work etc. etc..

Connect with the divine

Everyone of us do believe that there is some power more powerful than us, some power that has created the universe, some power that has created the laws of the universe. Now some believe it be god in different forms, some believe it to be a natural force, whatever you believe in its all the same and we can call it the divine power. There is no power more powerful than the divine power, no energy more energetic than the divine. So, every day connect with him, make a connection with the divine power so that the divine inside you start to awaken. You don't need special prayer for it. Just say thankyou from bottom of your heart for everything you have, for everything good you have received. More than saying it you need to feel it because it is your feelings make the connection. And once you establish the connection by feeling grateful to the divine you enter the realms of extraordinary. Gautam Buddha was just an ordinary human being like you and me in terms of flesh and blood but extraordinary in his feelings.

Get yourself uncomfortable

Every individual living on this planet has infinite potential, everyone has the capability to be and do whatever one dreams or thinks of. It is fear that stops us from doing great work, fear from taking risk stops us from being great, fear from change stops us from being awesome human being. Let fear come, it is natural for an normal being but don't provide fuel to your fear. The moment you fear something just go against your fear, the situation that make you uncomfortable embrace those situations, get more into the situation you get uncomfortable because everytime you act against your fear you get closer to become fearless, everytime you embrace uncomfortable situation you get closer to being comfortable in every situation. Everytime you act, you make your will power stronger, you become more confident, you get more closer to divine power, you get more closer to pure love because everytime you have acted against your fear you have let love become victorious.
Action makes you live the present moment completely, hence later you don't regret the past for not having acted and hence you do better work in the future, more concentrated work and hence you become more awesome human being. Don't get attached to the outcome, outcome is not important acting is important. You are born to act and not to think of the outcome. Just imagine hoe boring life would be if everything would go according to the way we wanted, so enjoy whatever the outcome. You fear when you get hooked on to a outcome and you doubt that it might not be the actual outcome. Outcome is not in your hand but action is definitely in your hand. So. just act, embrace the situation that get you uncomfortable, act in those situations, you will grow as a human being by leaps and bounds.

Eat up your fear before it eats you!!

Fear is nothing but a negative feeling, a feeling that you might loose something, a feeling that something might harm you, but what most of us fail to recognize is nothing can harm us until we let it harm us ourselves. For normal human beings fear is natural, it is something most of us cannot have control over but we can definitely suppress it by immediately bringing in positive thoughts. Fear will stop us from doing certain job but whether you let your will power dominate or your fear is something you choose. Fearing can be natural but not doing a certain job due to fear is weakness. If you fear then its good it prevents you from being over confident but if you get scummed to your fear then its a weakness. Never scummb to fear. Every time you let your fear dominates you provide it with more fuel, you make it more powerful and yourself weak.

Best way to control your fear is to go and collide with it, go and face it head on. When ever you fear doing something just gather guts and move ahead without second thought and trust me you will realize that there was nothing to fear about. Do stuffs that make you uncomfortable, stretch your limit. Your limit or your potential is something that is defined by you. Explore you hidden potential, always stretch yourself be it running the extra mile or getting up in the morning or giving a talk or talking to a stranger.

Cut out the noise

It means to keep your focus on yourself and not on others. In a day an average human spends 65% of his/her thoughts thinking about others, focusing on what others have and they don't have, regretting the talents they don't have or money they don't have etc.. etc. If you are habituated to this type of thinking then wake up. Just realize the blunder you are making. The difference between you and the people you admire or idolize is not in bones and flesh its just in thoughts. Highly successful people send their thoughts creating life for themselves while you are just wasting your thoughts.

So, focus on all the things you have, feel the abundance, feel grateful for everything you have be it even for running water, dream about yourself,dream having become the person you have wanted to become, dream about things you want, let no thought of negativity of lackness come. This is the key to happy life and key to achieving what you want to achieve.

Recharge yourself on weekends

I find it very disturbing when someone tells me that they don't have time to enjoy even on weekends. If this is the case it means you have not managed your time during the week properly. Six days of work should be sufficient to earn you a one day holiday. Work hard during the entire week and on the weekend let there be no work. It should be just you, your family, your loved ones, your friends and loads of fun. Meditate for longer duration, workout harder, run the extra mile you have always wanted to run, buy the books you have thought of reading, connect with people you have always thought off but could not due to your ignorance, do some charity, relax, have a laugh with your family and friends or you could even catch a movie and go out dinning.
Plan your next week, set the targets, think upon the goals, useful thinking is the best activity that can be done if guided by action. Download some inspirational podcasts that will charge you up during the week, focus on all the things you have and not on things you don't have, you focus on abundance and you will have more of abundance. Sit in silence, embrace and adore silence.

Take a break

Work in intervals. Don't work like a freak. Stay extremely focused while you are working. Cut off from everything while you are working, fall in love with your work. While working do things that are productive, activities that you will gain from, activities that will help you grow. Strive to achieve, work hard for it as achievements will definitely give you happiness but remember don't tie the knot of your happiness to your achievements, be happy while you are working, this attitude will help you achieve your goal even faster..
What I am trying to point is that don't end up working 24 hours a day. Don't become a work addict. work in intervals like for 2-3 hours then give yourself 20-25 minutes break and during the break have a gala. Listen to music, talk to your loved ones, connect with people you should connect with or best is stretch yourself  or sit in silence as it will not get you distracted and will keep you focused.

Love your fruits and vegetables

It's hard to believe the benefits of a diet rich in vegetables and fruits: low blood pressure reduced risk of heart disease, stroke, and some cancers; lower risk of eye problem and a healthy digestive system; and a mellowing effect on blood sugar that can help keep appetite in check. These are internally. Externally it keeps your skin glowing, keeps your hair healthy, makes you energetic, improves the functioning of your brain.  Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables everyday and soon you will realize that the benefits I have mentioned are actually less, they are much more.


If you don't like fruits and vegetables and never eat them then start off small. Include a cup of salad with your every meal or go on a mission that for one week no matter what -for lunch you will only have raw vegetables and fruits. Remember they should not be cooked, because the moment you cook them you kill them. Try it for a week just force yourself and you will see the drastic change, you will notice your digestive system improving within a couple of days and folks its very important to have a good digestive system to have an amazing day. And if you can have an amazing day you will definitely be happy.
