Progress in Life needs a DISCIPLINED Life

Progress and success are an inside-out approach. Your progress or success in any endeavour is nobody's concern other than yours. When you make a real move towards a goal or destination, you can feel an awful lot of resistance in the form of critics, cynics, nay-sayers, pessimists, cowards,fear-mongers etc to distract and throw cold water on you. There can be a lot of attempts to upset your agenda by imposing on you their wish lists. This world is still characterized by prejudicial treatment on many grounds like sex, colour, religion, age, and national origin among others. 

There are "n" number of examples of people who for succeeding in their desired ventures, met with a lot of odds and only those who encountered those odds with a reservoir of inner strength, faith, optimism and an earnest wish to excel could progress and succeed. A weak mind can easily give up in adversity without having the least knowledge that adversity of any sort is nothing but an opportunity in waiting to test his/her grit and success and progress are the inevitable side-effects of one's devotion and commitment to the cause he/she has chosen.

Sloth, inertia, decay, fear of failure, procrastination etc are some of the evils that always attack all of us. Great and genuine efforts are required to fight them out of our lives and to restore the vigour and energy to move towards our goal. To be bold is not only courageous but also to be noble and weakness is the real cowardice. Life always demands the empowerment of all of us to sail forward successfully. And success is also a matter of making oneself empowered. 

Empowerment comes with knowledge and wisdom. Hence, one's duty is to learn as much as possible and to apply the necessary lessons in life. To be progressive does not mean the accumulation of money and wealth only. It is holistic in theme, though difficult in the short term with cosmetic changes/exercise or superficial approaches. It requires a disciplined life, a life devoid of all wrong paths.

To move ahead in life above the mediocre way needs one to be at an elevated energy level. This is made possible with a change in thought pattern from the one that pulls one down. Remember that Man is a growth by law, not a creation by artifice. A man is made or unmade by himself. His own thinking makes hell or heaven for him. By the right choice and bold and true application of thoughts, one can radically alter the outlook of one's life. Obstacles, struggles and adversities are nothing but a blessing in disguise to offer us a glorious future.(C)
