Start by doing what’s necessary;
then do what’s possible;
and suddenly you are doing the impossible.
– St. Francis of Assisi
How it is inspiring
In my mind I use to make big plans and never execute them , now I begin with whatever is possible and the rest follows.
Achievement seems to be connected with action.
Successful men and women keep moving.
They make mistakes, but they don’t quit
– Conrad Hilton
Connected to this is my favorite shlok from Bhagwad Gita
Karmanye vaadhikaaraste maa phaleshu kadachanah
Maa karmaphal hetur bhurma
Ma te sangotswa karmani
My take
Sometimes I feel we talk so much and do so little…
We expect so much and put so little efforts…
Worry does not empty tomorrow of sorrow – it empties today of strength.
How it is inspiring – I realized most of the time I would worry about events and thoughts which mostly never happened , and even if they did , they were not so bad in reality as I made them out to be.
What oxygen is to the lungs, such is hope to the meaning of life.
– Emil Brunner
I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’ and it will move
– The Bible, Matthew 1720
“asatyo maa satya gamaye
Tamso maa jyotirgamaya
Mritor maa amrityam gamaya”
– Vedic quotes
Lead from the unreal (falsehood ) to the real (truth )
Lead from the darkness to the light
Lead me from death to immortality
My take on this
I use to delude my self all the time without realizing which resulted in my mind getting confused , now that I am truthful about myself to myself… I can see the way forward so clearly.
