The seed is put in the ground, and earth and air and water are placed around it. Does the seed become the earth, or the air, or the water? No. It becomes a plant, it develops after the law of its own growth, assimilates the air, the earth, and the water, converts them into plant substance and grows into a plant.
Similarly each one of us must assimilate the spirit of the others and yet preserve our individuality and grow according to our own law of growth.
If the thing you wish to do is right, and you believe in it, go ahead and do it. Put your dream across and never mind what “they” say if you meet with temporary defeat, for “they,” perhaps do not know that EVERY FAILURE BRINGS WITH IT THE SEED OF AN EQUIVALENT SUCCESS.
If your priorities don’t get scheduled into your planner, other people’s priorities will get put into your planner.
The solution is to be clear about your life’s highest objectives and then to learn to say no with grace.
When we start doing some good work, it’s natural challenges will come. Keep smiling and face all challenges with courage. – Sri Sri Ravishankar
