Even a tiny creature such as an ant can move thousands of kilometers ahead if it keeps on walking consistently. But if an Eagle doesn’t move from its place then it can’t move even a foot ahead!

‘Excellence Is Not A Skill It Is An Attitude.’ — Ralph Marston​


This Sanskrit Shubhasiyt highlights the importance of the ‘Will’ to put in the effort to fulfill the goal.

The will to work on our goals can place us near the goal. Our capability might not be apt to fulfill our goal at this time. And that is the reason why many give up on their dream. They stick to a fixed mindset and focus on what they are and fail to see what they can become.

What we need in those trying times is the ‘Will’ to continue with the effort.
With consistent effort and a growth mindset, we can learn and grow with time to reach our goals.

Right now it might seem unworthy of putting in all the efforts but with time, talent will emerge from within us and we will become apt to fulfill the dream of ours.

That is the beauty of consistent efforts. The Will to continue matters more than the skills. One might be apt to do the things that we dream of, but what matters is the will to put in the effort.

Everyone wants to prevail in this world of ours but not all are apt to make their mark in this world. Lucky are those who are gifted with the talents to make a positive difference in this world. But many of those lucky ones fail to make a difference because they succumb to a sense of entitlement.

They think that their talent will help them emerge out of mediocrity but little do they know that effort is needed along with the talent to emerge victorious in the endeavor.

Champions are not born out of sheer luck and talent, but they perspire their way to victory. Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. said expressed this beautifully in his own words:

Champions aren’t made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them-a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill.
It is our will to move forward rather than sitting and waiting for our talent and skills to elevate us further.

We all have a goal to achieve, and a dream to fulfill. It takes effort to fulfill that dream and self-belief to bounce back from the severe setback along the way. Not everyone is blessed with the skill to prevail but with intense desire and self-belief, we can cultivate our will to prevail which in time helps us develop the required skill.

Aim. Believe. Work. Conquer.​
