The biggest victory starts from the smallest step

Some people think of a victory as something grand, an epic movie on the making, with sounding trumpets and all. Reality is – and you probably already know – most moments of victory are quite ordinary.

They can come when we do a great sale, a wonderful project we proposed is approved, our child gets an award or a very good friend recovers from illness. It is a feeling that nothing can stop us and reality bends to our wishes.

There is no formula for victory, and yet it is not a question of luck. It comes from effort and thinking, victory is born from determination and dedication, and it relies on concentration and patience.

However, there is something in common with all types of victories: the first step is usually a small one. The great sale started with a call or a response from an inquiry; the project came from a conversation with a few friends; the award is fruit of good parenting, talking to the child and motivating them, and the friend’s recovery started with a google search…

Think about your most recent victory and the more you think about it, you realize there is a small step that would take you to that moment of victory.

So, what about taking care of those steps? Yes, most of the time we are not aware which step is going to take us towards that victory, but we can be more aware and move with more focus, helping victory to come up.

What comes out of your mouth defines

The way you speak and the things you say have power. Speech gives us the power to create or destroy.

I give you an example: Brahma Baba. He was a spiritual leader whose words are still echoing in many people’s hearts. The knowledge he gave and even the stories he used to share are still guiding people, decades later after his departure.

And another example: you! Yes, you!

You have said things that touched others’ hearts and they are still echoing in their minds.

You have spoken in such a way that you changed others’ lives.

You are a leader and your words have changed others.

So… it is possible you have spoken some bad things, maybe you could even put some people down with those comments, but remember those words that changed people’s lives for better.

And from now on, invest time and energy to improve the wealth that comes from your words.

Your thoughts can be flowers, spears or boomerangs

I would like to think of my thoughts as flowers as they pollinize others’ ideas, generate life or are so positive that others can feel their energy. They make our lives more beautiful and motivate us to move ahead.

But, when problems come up, my thoughts can be spears, like the old gods’ legends… Spears that destroy the obstacles by making my own powers to emerge or to turn them into leverages for my own advancement. My thoughts have power, and as I am aware of it, I can use that power whenever I need or I want.

And last, but not least, my thoughts are ALWAYS boomerangs and whenever I launch them, they will be back. So, I endeavor to have the best thoughts possible, so that the best will come back to me.

 

This enables me to understand my own thinking process and the ways my thoughts manifest. And how they SHOULDN’T manifest.

I would like to challenge you to think of your thoughts by using three different elements; you can use the same as mine or create your own.

You are necessary in people’s lives

I would like to remind you of something. And remind myself.

 

We are necessary in other people’s lives.

 

And, of course, they are necessary in our lives.

Not in the sense we cannot live without them, or they cannot live without us.

But without me, without you, others won’t develop some of their best characteristics like courage, humor, trust, punctuality, etc.

By being with someone different, that difference is added into one’s personality. The more we are in touch with people who don’t share our tastes or preferences, the more we will improve.

The same for others.

So, try not to give up on other people… Give them a chance one more time… ten more times… a hundred more times.

 

It is worth, believe me.
