Three Feet From Gold.

                                       Now I am gonna tell you about the story of a Mr. Darby and his partner how got caught in the fever of gold. And tell you that nobody should stop by a temporary failure. One of the most common cause   of failure is the habit of quitting when one is overtaken by the temporary defeat. Every person is guilty of this mistake at one time or another.

Mr. R.U. Darby was caught by the “gold fever” in the gold rush days, and went west to dig and grow rich. He had never heard that more gold has been mined from the thoughts of the men than has ever been taken from the earth. He staked a claim and went to work with pick and shovel.

After weeks of labor, he was rewarded by the discovery of shinning ore. He needed machinery to bring the ore to the surface. Quietly, he covered up the mine, retraced his footsteps to his home in Williamsburg, Maryland, told his relatives and a few neighbors of the “strike”. They got together money for the needed machinery, and had it shipped. Mr. Darby and his partner went back to work the mine.

The car of the ore was mined and shipped to a smelter. The returns proved that they had one of the richest mines in Colorado! A few more cars of that ore would clear the debts. Then would come the big killings in profits.

Down went the drills! Up went the hops of Darby! Then something happened. The vien of gold ore disappeared! They had come to the end of the rainbow, and the pot of  gold was no longer there. They drilled on, desperately trying to pick up the vein again—all to no  Finally, they decided to quit.                                                                                                          They sold the machinery to the junk man for few dollars, and took the train back home. The junk man called into the minning engineer to look at the mine and do little calculation. The engineer advised that the project had failed because the owners was not familiar with “fault lines”. His calculations showed that the vein would be found just three feet from where the Darbys had stopped drilling! That is exactly where it was found

The junk took the millions of dollars in the ore from the mine because he knew enough to seek expert counsel before giving up.  

10 Smart and Simple Ways to Motivate Yourself

“People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily.”Zig Ziglar

 “The only time you fail is when you fall down and stay down.” ― Stephen Richards, Cosmic Ordering: You can be successful

Some days you wake up motivated and ready to go. And some days things feel heavy as you arise and it is hard to get going and find that inner drive.

At least in my experience.

So over the past experiences. I have found some simple and smart strategies that work for me to get back into the right groove and to get things done.

Here are the 10 simple steps to motivate yourself;

1. Get motivation from the people in your life. Spend less time with negative people who always look at the dark or apathetic side of things. And spend more of the time you have now freed up with enthusiastic or motivated people and let their energy flow over to you.
2.  Remind yourself of why you are working toward this. When you’re feeling unmotivated and low in energy it is easy to lose sight of why you’re doing something. So take 2 minutes and write down your top 3 reasons for doing this work, getting an education, working out, saving that extra money or something else. Put that note where you can see it every day or keep it in your smartphone for easy access when you need a motivational boost.
3.   Compare yourself to yourself and see how far you have come.Instead of deflating yourself and your motivation by comparing yourself to others who are so far ahead of you
4.   Track your progress. Keep a tally or a progress bar for ongoing projects. When you see something growing you will always want to nurture it
5. Be grateful for what you got. When motivation is running low then it’s easy to start seeing your life and the aspects of it through a negative lens. To put your focus on what you still have and who you are – and to recharge with positivity and motivation ­– ask yourself a question like: What are 3 things I sometimes take for granted but can be grateful for in my life? My answers would, for example, be a roof over my head, clean water and not having to go hungry.
6. Declutter your workspace. Take a couple of minutes to clean it up. I find that having an uncluttered and minimalistic workspace helps me to think more clearly and I feel more focused and ready to tackle the next task (or small step).
7. Adjust your goal size. If a big goal in your life feels overwhelming set a smaller goal to find your motivation again. And if a smaller goal doesn’t seem inspiring try to aim higher and make it bigger goal and see how that affects your motivation.
8. Exercise. Working out doesn’t just affect your body. I find that just 20-30 minutes of lifting free weights releases inner tensions and stress and makes me feel more focused and motivated once again.
9. Do a bit of research before you get started. Learning from people who have gone where you want to go and done what you want to do can help you to avoid pitfalls. And to give you a realistic time-table for success. This is important to not get demotivated when things aren’t happening as fast you had wished.
10. Have faith. Last but not the least you should have faith that you can achieve your goals. No matter what it takes. have faith 

Faith And Success

WHAT IS FAITH.?

In Quran ALLAH said. "Verily successful are those who have faith". Faith is to "To put trust in something; to be committed to something; to be persuaded of something; to place confidence in something; and to rely upon something". Faith is a sacred, deep, emotionally kind of trust.

• Relationship between faith and success.

   Faith according to Qur'an, is the most important requirement of the success.The dept of you faith determines the level of you success. No success is possible without trust and certitude.
Following quote beautifully explains the nature of relationship between faith and destiny.

            Sow a thought, reap an action;
            Sow an action, reap a habit;
            Sow a habit, reap a character;
            Sow a character; reap a destiny;
     

Your achievements in life are strongly affected by your beleifs and paradigm. Your success depends upon your actions and actions are non-other than the manifestation of your dreams.

 This is how dreams affects are our destiny. It requires a strong faith to achieve something big. Without faith dreams won’t come true.

The power of faith is the real power of making things possible. Believing that you can achieve you goals is of the great importance for successful attainments of your targets.

As someone fairly said “ He who loses money, loses much. He who loses relationship loses more, But he who loses faith loses all” .

Faith is not fanciful; it is scientific, logical, and practical. It is not belief without prove, but yes a trust without reservation. Perhaps your faith cannot move mountains. But what’s to stop you from climbing them?  Faith provides the power for facing adversities and serves as a bulwark aganist undesirable reactions of despair and hopelessness.

Once you have faith, you will start focusing on what you can do, rather than what is not possible. Obstacles and deviations will stop bothering you. Failures will not matter anymore. People around you may be discouraging you, but you will not give up. You will become stubborn in pursuit of your dreams, till you achieve it. We cannot change the past but we can create future with the power of faith.!

 Mahatma Gandhi said                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

  You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.”
