Continuously focussed on the desired outcome.

Working consistently and swiftly and doing what’s needed to achieve the firmed up defined and imagined result.

And having unwavering conviction that whatever desired would be done without fail.

This is how the believers and the achievers and the doers and the givers think and act.

In the eastern scriptures, these people are called karmayogis.

The four pillars defined for this in the vedic scriptures are Sankalpa , Dhyana, Karma, and Shraddha.

When a karmayogi takes a sankalpa, often it’s done as a ritual through a priest at a gathering , and sometimes the Sankalpa is taken privately without even telling anyone..

Then the karmayogi gets into Dhyana often , sometimes meditating and often simply contemplating and reflecting on the sankalpa and assessing what has been done and what’s needed furthur to be done.

That’s being engaged in Karma, which says every action has a consequence, so if one takes actions, things move in the direction of the sankalpa, and you don’t take actions , there is no movement.

The karmayogi also has Shraddha the faith within and the faith in a higher energy, which will help the karmayogis fulfill their sankalpa.

And that’s how the doer the achiever the giver and the believer lives life.

Continuously taking firm resolves always focussed on them taking massive actions towards their fulfillment and always believing that what is asked will be given.

May you therefore understanding these four pillars and practicing the disciplines needed keep dreaming keep resolving and keep achieving to keep making life happen the way you want and keep living life of a karmayogi to keep growing and keep enhancing joy abundance and well being in your life and your world.

Keep living life like the karmayogi and keep making it happen the way you want

Living a life of self-reliance is a journey of empowerment, independence, and resilience.

As per vedic scriptures, Atman, the inner self, is the source of true strength and independence. Atman-Nirbharta, self-dependence or self-reliance, emphasizes the inherent potential within each individual to achieve fulfillment and liberation through their own efforts and inner wisdom.

The vedic texts advise various practices, mindsets, and skills to become Atma Nirbhar.

First and foremost is Karmayoga. This yogic path emphasizes selfless action and duty performed without attachment to outcomes. By dedicating actions to a higher purpose and focusing on the process rather than the fruits, one cultivates inner strength and reliance. In the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna teaches Arjuna to fulfill his duty with self-reliance and detachment, even in the face of daunting challenges.

Second is Aparigraha, or non-attachment and is advised as one of the ethical restraints – or Yamas. This principle encourages self-reliance by breaking free from dependence on external possessions and seeking fulfillment within oneself. By letting go of material desires and attachments, one cultivates inner contentment and reduces reliance on external validation.

Third is Svadyaya, the pursuit of self-study and knowledge, which also fosters self-reliance. Studying scriptures, reflecting on oneself, and seeking guidance from teachers empowers individuals to navigate life’s challenges with wisdom and discernment. By taking responsibility for their own learning and understanding, individuals become less reliant on external authorities and develop their own inner compass.

Lastly is the concept of Tapas, which is self-discipline. By facing challenges with perseverance and overcoming personal limitations, individuals tap into their inner strength and build resilience. Tapas can manifest in various forms, from physical austerities to mental discipline and unwavering focus.

May you remember that while practicing and being self-reliant , we still need to be interdependent and contribute to the well-being of others while maintaining our own inner strength.

May you also remember that being Atma Nirbhar and living a self-reliant life is an empowering journey that leads to greater confidence, independence, resilience, and personal fulfillment.

By being self reliant may you keep achieving your goals and keep creating bigger and better things to keep enhancing joy abundance and well-being in your life and your world.

The ordinary life is when one is able to provide adequately for oneself and one’s family, while the extraordinary life is when one is able to go beyond and serve others too.

The more one is able to serve, the more extraordinary a life is.

This all begins from self care. The first step is to serve yourself first , imagine a more healthy you, a more powerful and more connected and more wealthy you.

When you are more, you can serve more.

However, one must know beforehand what one is going to become in the process of being more.

The vedic scriptures provide a compass for this called Dharma , the path of righteousness, living life ethically, and with responsibility aligned with the highest universal values and principles.

The eastern wisdom also provides the foundation on which a successful growing and serving life is based.

May you know that an extraordinary life learns and practices to transcend pain and suffering.

May you remember that pain is a necessary and important element in preserving and maintaining life, which is contained in the body.

Pain tells you what’s wrong with your body, and either it self heals or you need to take available care for its healing.

According to Buddha, while pain is an inherent part of life due to physical and emotional experiences, suffering is the mental and emotional response to that pain.

He believed that suffering is caused by our attachment, desires, and aversions, which create a cycle of dissatisfaction and discontentment.

Buddha’s teachings are aimed to help individuals understand the nature of suffering, its causes, and how to transcend it by changing one’s relationship with pain and cultivating a state of mental clarity and equanimity.

An extraordinary life is built in spite of the mandatory pain and by transcending suffering

May you by understanding the impermanent nature of life including pain , keep transcending suffering and keep building an extraordinary life following your Dharma and keep creating the impact you are supposed to create on the world, and keep enhancing abundance joy and well being in your life and in your world.

May you always be living and building an extraordinary life everyday
