To become what we want, we need to at least HAVE five of these qualities to MOVE forward.
1. COURAGE and HARD-WORK
Courage is not the absence of fear but the acquired ability to move beyond fear and discouragement.
Courage doesn’t always roar, sometimes it is the little voice at the end of the day that says…”I’ll try again tomorrow.”
Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage! And of course, there’s no substitute for hard-work.
2. WILL – POWER and STRENGTH
Strength and will-power are closely linked. Because strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will. And it’s not that some people have will-power and some do not. It’s that some people are ready to change and others are not.
But it’s worth it. Right?
Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength!
3. DETERMINATION/PERSEVERANCE
The difference between the possible and the impossible lies in a person’s determination.
I didn’t mean that!
Determination gives you the resolve to keep going inspite of the road-blocks that lay before you!
4. SELF-DISCIPLINE
Self discipline is when your conscience tells you to do something and you don’t talk back!
But, we must know that self-discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment!
5. FAITH
My favourite lines on faith – “Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible and receives the impossible!”
We just need to BELIEVE in ourselves and remember –

I have always had an unfortunate fear of life itself. To overcome the fear, I have tried to do things, that seems to be greater than myself. That quest generally fails for obvious reasons, but it does give me courage to live in relative peace with myself.
This may give you an idea of what I mean:

Hi Tyy, I think I got what you meant. You’re probably the first person I’ve come across who fears life itself! I would do the same if I was at your place. But you know what, even if that quest fails, it gives you a whole new experience and if we reflect back on it, I’m sure we’ll realize how amazing it has been to live! And yes ofcourse, as you said, it has provided with you the courage to live in relative peace with yourself!
I’d love to have you visit here again and share your insights 🙂

The Calvin and Hobbs strip is me. I’m always doing things last minute and what sucks is the fact that I know if I had been disciplined and taken more time I could have made or written at least ten times better. My self-discipline sucks. Like right now I should be getting dressed for work, instead I’m typing the comment with fourteen minutes before I need to get out the door. I wish there was a switch to turn on to make me instantly have the discipline I lack for getting things done in a timely manner without the stress involved with last minute panic.
Good post. Thank you.

Oh Robert! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. I tend to leave alot of things for the last minute too. I guess self-discipline comes from practice (which is tough, but possible!) 🙂 I wonder how much more would I like your posts if they were ten times better than these! They’re already so wow!
Thank you once again and let’s hope to try and not be like that strip! 😀

Hi, ants are some of the smallest creatures alive, but they don’t wait around. Like the one above holding a bark. You know they pick up things many times their weight to take home for food or something else. I wrote a poem about ants because it’s nice to include other creatures in my work. And don’t forget, animals have abilities that we (humans) don’t. I just wanted to share this with you and your readers.
