Everybody has his own aspirations and dreams about life. That differs from person to person. But the success depends on how serious he is about his dreams... No pain no gain... He has to sacrifice something to achieve his goals.
Everyday we meet new new people, we get information about new new things, we hear about new new technologies. All these can have an impact on our dreams.
We should not be orthodox to stick on to what we had decided earlier, but ready to accept the newer challenges. We should be flexible enough to adapt to changes. We should never lose focus on our goal, our path, once we choose that. Many things, many incidents will pull our mind away from our goal. It might be something attractive conquering our senses, or something that put hurdles in our way. We have to fight both of them till we succeed.
We all have heard the story of Arjuna aiming a parrot's eye. While others saw the parrot, the tree.. he could see only the eye of the parrot. That sharp should be our focus on our goal. No other visuals, sounds or anything should be able to shift our focus. That made Arjuna different.
I remember another story from Ramayana, which can be cited as the best example for commitment towards the goal. It is also a well known story... Hanuman is jumping Lanka to meet Sita. On the way he meets different things which tries to shift his focus. He meets daemons who tries to block him. He uses different tactics to get rid of them. At times he uses his physical strength to win over such hurdles. We can also see him using his intelligence to make fool of them and move forward(He becomes very small and escapes from a rakshasi). We can also see the hill 'Mainaka' offering him rest, food and water. Hanuman refuses expressing his love and respect. Here he depicts how committed one should be on his goal. How he should fight with the hurdles on the way. How he should not go behind temporary gains losing focus. That was what happened to the rabbit in the old rabbit-tortoise story. Failure in focus at a small point of time shall result in the goal being never achieved at all...
So focus on your goals. Define them sharp and fine.Everyday we meet new new people, we get information about new new things, we hear about new new technologies. All these can have an impact on our dreams.
