Being Your Own Hero

Taking charge of your story instead of waiting for someone else to write it. It is about courage in the face of fear, resilience in the face of setbacks, and choosing growth over comfort.
A true hero doesn’t need applause—they simply rise, again and again, determined to live with authenticity, strength, and purpose.

Whenever you begin any task, stand back from the task and observe the thoughts in your mind. If the thoughts are of worry, a lack of determination or a feeling of difficulty or you possess a negative attitude - that means you are not internally happy. This type of mindset is a negative start to the task and prevents success from being achieved. 𝐀 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐞𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐝.

Also, there are many people who are looking to succeed fast and in a short span of time but they experience failure at the level of the heart. They are not only themselves discontented but no one will be content with them. So, always look for success but before you reach those important milestones, which will always exist in your life, also look for happiness and contentment at every step. Otherwise, all those loved ones and the beautiful relationships you share with them and also the beautiful roles that you take pure pride in will leave you. This is because many times, in trying to achieve too much and too fast, we are taking the wrong road to success. It is sometimes said – 𝘚𝘶𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘵 𝘢 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘦. This holds for true for many young achievers. They have done a lot and done good, but they did not follow the real meaning of success and take the right path to success, as we have defined in this message.
Always remember, 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐝𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬. 𝐀𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐨𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞. Even if you achieve a little less on a physical level, you will achieve a lot more in terms of love and respect received from everyone around you. Also, the true wealth of happiness will be with you all through your life and you will live life much stronger and more peacefully.

Success has wrongly been defined as the happening of a positive event or reaching an important milestone in your life. We often say we have done well in an exam or we have got a degree or we overcame a serious illness or we finished a project at work. These are all outer events when something good happens in our life. We have always thought that success came from outside. On the other hand, 𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐬𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐟 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐮𝐥, 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐣𝐨𝐲𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡. This is because our internal state of mind along with our intelligence and other important personality traits and also our physical skills bring us success.
Sometimes our internal state of mind is very good but we lack positive skills and maybe a good physical personality suited for a task, and yet we do well in the task. This is because your inner state influences the task much more, even if you have not worked very hard or used too many skills. On the other hand, when our internal state of mind is sometimes not so positive, clear and powerful or our mind is full of unnecessary and negative thoughts but we are extremely talented and possess good intellectual skills, we don’t perform well in a particular task in life. In this case, the skills are not enough to achieve the required purpose.

A very common question that people have asked since thousands of years is that is our destiny already fixed or can we change our destiny? Whenever we face a difficult situation in our lives, we often wonder that is this a result of our past actions and we also think that can the effect of these negative actions of our past births on our present birth be reversed or stopped. So, what should we do and where do we start? First of all, we need to understand very deeply that all human souls have performed some negative actions, along with positive actions, in many of their different births. But a very important point to note is that some souls have performed lesser negative actions, and some have performed more of them. So, as a result, everyone in the world today is facing some or the other negative situation or situations in their lives because of this. There is a common belief in the world that our destiny is created and written by God and everything that is happening in our lives – whether good or bad, is decided by God. But as per spiritual wisdom given by God, this is not a correct belief. God does not decide our life’s circumstances. Whenever anything good happens in our lives, it is always a result of our good actions of our past as well as because of God’s help, which is there in some circumstances, but not in all. On the other hand, whenever anything negative happens in our lives, it is a result of our wrong actions of our past only. God does not punish us for our negative actions.
So, we all have a destiny based on our past actions. But, at the same time there are three ways by which we can change our destiny at the present moment, as per God’s guidance and spiritual wisdom given by Him – 1. Remember God in meditation and listen to His spiritual wisdom, which will purify the soul and clear off the burden of negative past actions from the soul 2. Perform many positive actions that will fill the soul with the seven basic virtues - peace, joy, love, bliss, purity, power and wisdom and also increase the same virtues in others 3. Remain free from the 5 main vices - lust, anger, greed, attachment and ego and other vices in thoughts, words and actions and lead a pure lifestyle. When we do all these three the soul gets purified and also creates positive sanskars of goodness and giving. These changes inside the soul change its destiny and attract more positive and beautiful situations in its life and change its negative situations to positive ones. They also make its future births full of positivity and success.

An incorrect belief that many of us carry is that relationships are about behaving and speaking in the right manner. This is because we think people see, know and judge only what we speak and do. We think they cannot sense what we think, so we don’t pay attention to our thoughts about them. Ask yourself – have you ever created negative thoughts and positive words, believing that the other person can only hear your words. Have you ever said to someone that it was wonderful meeting them, even though you are creating thoughts of boredom? We need deep checking and a constant awareness to see how we are different in our thoughts, words and actions. Relationship is not just a label of a role or a responsibility – parent child, husband wife, brother sister, friends, senior junior or two strangers. Relationship is an exchange of energy between two souls. Each soul creates energy of thoughts, words and actions. Any soul with whom we are exchanging this energy, at that moment we are in relationship with them.
We create around 25 to 30 thoughts per minute; we may speak around 3 to 4 lines in a minute and may perform 1 to 2 actions in a minute. Since the number of thoughts is much more and thought energy travels faster than sound, thoughts become the basis of the relationship. Also thoughts are created even if we may not be physically present with each other. So the number of thoughts we create for another person is much more than the words we speak to them or our behaviour towards them daily. Let us take care of our every thought, for every soul, at every time, remembering well that this is the foundation of our relationship. If we wish to change the quality of any relationship, we only need to check our thinking about them. Change our thoughts and the relationship will change.

Connect to people through your original qualities of respect and humility. Your qualities are your own, use them with everyone, in every situation and every time. If you are polite with one person and egoistic with another, or if your behaviour reflects the way others behave with you, your personality gets lost in the process. Even if no one around you is being right, don’t drift from your qualities. Our biases can create barriers between our own beliefs and the reality. Sometimes we cannot justify why we prefer one person over another, why we dislike a place, or reject a product brand. The more biased we are, the more unreasonable we become.
1. Your appearance, position, culture, nationality, religion – are what you have acquired, it’s not who you are. So don’t connect with people as role to role, or position to position. It creates thoughts of superiority or inferiority, leading to biases.
2. If your mind is not thinking right for someone or something, check if you are biased due to social conditioning or public approval. Correct the belief and change your opinion.
3. Remind yourself that you are a pure being, interacting with another pure being. Extend courtesies and follow social rules according to roles. But respect is for the being, so it should not change according to people’s roles, faith, nationality or any other factor.
4. Meet people with a clean mind, deleting past impressions you hold about them. Perceive them with a new way of thinking and a new behaviour.
Rediscover The Essence Of Happiness (Part 2)
Loving your life is about trusting your instinct, taking the odd chance in difficult situations, loving and experiencing joy, enjoying memories of good actions and episodes of life and learning through life time experiences. We just neglect most of these. Nowadays, we try and look for joy in bonuses, promotions or any monetary gain. But can money really buy happiness? Sometimes you see poor people laughing carelessly while they play with their children and experiencing happiness. On the other hand, children from well off families are surrounded with technology today. Technology has created such an influence in an individual’s life that people have almost abandoned their family time. The time of the day that bought so much laughing and giggling in the house is now substituted with members glued to television or mobile phones. Festivals that were the major joyful events have now lost their essence. They are merely days of more worry and tensions because of the new trends of exchanging expensive gifts or celebrating them lavishly.
So what is real happiness - perhaps a better way to describe happiness in its true essence is contentment. This comes from a complete awareness and acceptance of the self as we are now at an internal level, and an acceptance of what is at an external level. The highest happiness is bliss which can be experienced only when the self is totally free of all attachment and dependency. This is a real understanding and definition of happiness, which is not difficult to accept and make a part of our life, once there is a deep understanding, absorption and appreciation of the divine wisdom of the self and others as well as the laws of action and time involving both of them i.e. wisdom which is accurate and complete in all aspects. Real happiness is a direct result of this divine wisdom.

Rediscover The Essence Of Happiness (Part 1)
Have you ever wondered - what is the real essence of happiness, what is and what is not real happiness? We count our troubles often, but we never count our joys. If we counted them, we would realize that we have many things to be happy about. Happiness, joy and love hold different meanings for each individual. A person may find happiness in shopping and another may find the same kind of pleasure in social work. But there are some aspects which have the capacity to at least put on a smile on every individual's face. Simple gestures like maybe a love filled handshake or a morning greeting. Going to each mate of yours at the work place or to each loved one at home every morning and greeting them with a huge smile on your face will bring you happiness as well as to the other person.
So, real happiness is not an external stimulation by watching a movie or eating out or buying a new dress; it is not the result of acquiring something – whether it be a new car or a position, or of receiving some good news. True happiness is not relief from suffering – whether from an illness or a difficult situation, nor is it the achievement of a goal – whether personal or professional. All these are externally dependent, where happiness is confused with stimulation, excitement, achievement, acquisition or relief. Happiness is not all of these. You commonly say Well, what I like best, … just then stop and think. Because although each of the above episodes bring us happiness, there is a moment just before you begin to enjoy the episode which is better than when you are enjoying the episode, but you don’t know what its called or what it feels like to enjoy that. Each one of us can experience that joy, we just need to find it. Remember that happiness is not a future promise. It can only be experienced now, in each and every simple action of the day.

Temporary And Permanent Sources Of Peace
It’s a common notion (idea) to think of peace as being closely related to the beauty of nature - the play of waves on a beach, the blowing of wind through a forest, the soaring and swooping of gulls; in short, anything away from the rush and hurry of the city. Alternatively we associate peace with some physical form of relaxation like headphones plugged into soothing music or a brisk walk in the park. In meditation we realize peace to be our very essence (nature); we realize very quickly, trying to extract peace from the world around us or even from some physical sensations in our own bodies gives us only a temporary experience of it.
Once we start meditating, we start to see physical relaxation as an escape from tension and not a solution for it; and the beautiful scenes of nature now no longer as sources radiating permanent peace. But in fact it is their mere absence of conflict, their harmony of colours, forms and sounds which appeal to us. There is something in each of us which cries out to be free from conflict. We discover that small voice or need is only our true nature demanding to be recognized. We realize that neither the body nor nature can give the peace that the soul was longing for, but it has to be tapped from within. Having found it, it remains constant, whether in the city or countryside, in comfort or discomfort. In the midst of noise and confusion, peace is really our own.
Accessing Spiritual Power
In the inner depths of the soul there is pure, spiritual power of peace, love, wisdom and un-conditional joy. This power provides us with the inner strength needed to change. But how do we access this power? Meditation is the method – it allows this power to come to the surface of our consciousness and into our minds and influence our thoughts, feelings and personality. In the same way as lava flows from the inner depths of the Earth to the surface through a volcano, we can also create volcanoes of spiritual power when we meditate. Note, though, that we want to use our power in a positive way: we are not seeking the kind of power that is physical in nature and may cause damage, we are seeking spiritual power.
When we get access to our own personal source of the power of peace, love and happiness, we essentially become free of any dependency on external sources for feelings of the same. When we generate our own feelings of love and self-respect, we stop being dependent on others and our addiction to their acceptance and approval reduces and finally disappears. When we generate our own feelings of contentment and joy within ourselves, we become free from the need for substances, places or physical experiences in order to be happy.
Using this inner power in the right way allows us to uproot or remove completely the old negative habits within our personality. Any unwanted habit can be changed and the scars of all the negative habits, which have developed within the soul over a long period of time, during the journey of birth and rebirth, can be healed in a short time span.

Spiritual wisdom given by God includes the divine knowledge of the soul and its original home, which is called the Soul World. The Soul World is also the world where God or the Supreme Soul resides. Rajyoga meditation is experiencing our spiritual self in the Soul World as a radiant point of spiritual consciousness and seeing God in front of us as a Supreme point of consciousness, who radiates the constant spiritual light of peace, purity, bliss, love and power on the soul and fills the soul with these qualities, which it has lost due to the influence of negativity and impurity in various births. How should we have this experience and improve our visualization, so that the third eye can clearly focus on God, the Supreme Being of Light and experience the deep peace and purity of the Soul World. Let us look at 5 important ways -

Rising Above the Expectation of Praise from Others
Sometimes, we get offended or even fall ill almost on purpose in order to receive special treatment. Out of insecurity and low self‑esteem, we depend on the appreciation and affection of others — waiting for them to value us, praise us, and speak kindly to us. Even if they have shown appreciation many times, if for a few days they don’t, our inner world collapses. We become dependent on what others do or don’t do, whether they nourish our self‑esteem or not. And then what happens? We are always waiting for the other to give us something, when in reality we can offer it to ourselves.
Spirituality awakens us to our inner treasures of bliss, happiness, love, and power. It makes us aware that we are sharers — radiating and exchanging these qualities — rather than takers. This consciousness helps us rise above dependency and remain seated, stable, on our throne of self‑respect.

We all live our lives in the pursuit of many goals and achievements. Although, life presents to us different types of situations and life in its every moment has something to be achieved.

On the other hand, reaching important goals and achieving important milestones in life in different spheres is very important. Yet while reaching these goals and milestones and on our journey towards reaching them, if we remain light and keep our actions positive and correct and as a result we remain happy, that is in fact true success.
Very often, when we try and move too fast to our goals, there can be some success achieved. But while reaching that goal if you perform actions that give sorrow to others or you are not honest or you lose hope and confidence or even for that matter your relationships or health our affected because of that, then that is not true success. Success means experiencing a sense of achievement at every step and not just when the final destination is reached.
