The benefits of Willpower

 

Today I’m very glad and proud of my brother. I had always motivated him about the power of will (Sankalpa Sakti), made him read gurudeva’s thoughts on cultivating willpower, the need to finish what is started and improve the will by using the will by doing every job better than expected such that the inner soul is satisfied. He has really worked on this aspect in his studies – I have seen him work so hard and exhibit will that he is a true example of amazing things the human will can do. The big project that was in front of him were the II PU exam and CET (Common Entrance Test) exam. I observed the following about him

  • Can work for 12 hours without breaks continuously for an year! – True example of exhibiting willpower for difficult projects.
  • Very good attention to detail – rehearses the entire exam with timing.
  • Attempted & solved 7 physics exams at home before writing the final exam.
  • Backup planning and attempting extra questions for failsafe during exam time by saving enough time by solving problems faster upfront.

The willpower he exhibited is being reflecting in the results today.

  • Result -> 99 Percent in PU Exam
  • 19th Rank in CET for Karnataka State (from amongst approximately 2 lakh + candidates)

The results of hard work and willpower are sweet and he surely deserves it. May Lord Ganesha bless him for a bright future in Engineering.

Gurudeva says

In the very same way, in the external world, if you begin something, you finish it. If you are working on a project creatively, you maintain your efforts until you bring it to a conclusion. It is such people who become truly successful in meditation.
