Financial problems and solutions.
As I promised in the last article '4 Outstanding ways to come out of the Struggle in Life ', I will write in this article about the financial struggle. It is hard, I think, to find even one percent of the world's population who has never faced financial struggles in their lives. Only this one struggle makes people realize many real bits of knowledge of life together.
The word 'struggle' can be interpreted in two ways. One is, "an energetic attempt to achieve something" which means to experience difficulty and make a very great effort in order to do something or achieve something. Another meaning of struggle is to be engaged in a fight which is "to use a lot of effort to defeat someone or prevent something". What do you mean by the word 'struggle'! If you take the second explanation then you are really fighting with life, and you have been conditioned to believe that "life is a struggle". That means you programmed your mind with some negative thoughts and beliefs.
When your thoughts and beliefs hold on to negativity, winning the battle of life is a long way off, you will never have the courage to fight. The ghosts of fear will dance in your head. You will live the life of this nature "I am alive without dying". If you perceive the second interpretation of the struggle of life and apply it in life, then the meaning of life will change. Happiness will come back to life, and you will be able to live life successfully by raising your head.
In fact, there is a struggle in every human life, of course, it is better not to confuse struggle and war. If you look closely at the biography of every successful person, you will understand that everyone has struggled at some point in their lives. People who have faced challenges in life, who have been able to be optimistic and resilient in the face of life's trials and adversities, are sure to have success in life.
In which areas of life do we have to struggle most and why:-
Financial challenge:- More than 90 percent of people struggle almost all their lives financially, trapped by the economic fences. There are several important reasons for this. Firstly, is a lack of financial education in our traditional education system. Secondly, the misconception that "money is the root of all evil." The lessons we learn about finance from our society, our environment, and our families, extend far into our lives, and it frightens us about finance and financial infrastructure.
The financial struggle is much bigger challenge than the other challenges in life. Falling into this problem, many people end their lives. We need to know a lot about financial struggles because this challenge influences the rest and also helps to overcome again. I will discuss this in details in my next article.
Health challenge:- Sometimes this happens when the body no longer wants to accompany. Especially when traumatized, and emotionally broken, the body begins to deteriorate immediately. Besides, in the busiest life, how many persons take care of the body! There are irregularities in eating and drinking.
Love issues:- This is one of the most important issues. I will place it after the financial challenge. Love can change a person's life completely, it plays a vital role in making a successful person to an unsuccessful and unsuccessful person to successful. Love is a wonderful stimulant for our minds. When a person experiences this crisis, slowly his body, his mind starts to break down, his willing power starts to wane, disgust grows towards everything, and anger increases immensely. Many times people lose complete control over themselves by focusing on this issue, making people mentally crippled.
Relationship challenges:- Although it has a lot in common with love issues, it is not so effective. Many people struggle year after year with relationships. When a relationship breaks down, it directly affects our minds, sometimes it can cause anger, and sometimes it can cause sadness.
Career development challenge:- Most young people, even middle-aged, are constantly engaged in this struggle of life, not getting a suitable job, not having the necessary funds for business or not having a suitable environment, not getting a proper salary in a job or not getting a promotion, etc., etc. In particular, the COVID-19 situation has pointed out to us how this problem can wreak havoc on the lives of millions of people.
There are also many small challenges in life, some of which we keep in the stage of struggle, but if we can overcome those five challenges, the rest are not very important. Let's find way out of this struggle of life.
The path to liberation from the struggle of life:-
Mental preparation:- Morale is far more important than our physical ability to win any struggle. The root cause of our defeat in each of the life struggles I have mentioned is mental defeat. Coal is converted to diamonds by withstanding extreme pressure and heat. The challenge in life is to build us in a new way, correct our mistakes, and move forward on the path of victory. Believe it or not, we have the solution to every problem that exists in this Universe, we need to find it and it requires a healthy mind so program your mind.
The more you awaken your inner willpower, the smaller the problems will become and the more they will disappear. Each of us needs to give importance to our own mind and development and give time so that all the conflicts of our own minds are removed. The struggle of life will end on the day you end the war with your mind.
Do not run away from the struggle:- Face any challenge directly, if you do not face it, the struggle of life will continue, and the 'problem' will find you out. The cowards thought the rope lying on the road was a snake and ran away in fear, don't put yourself in that category. Don't die before your death, conquer the fear. Your victory is hidden before the fear.
Become self-reliant:- Prepare yourself to walk on the path without relying on others. You have to struggle for your life and you will not find anyone by your side. Whenever we face a challenge, we hope to get help from others. We hope to get financial support, to get love, or to get mental support. In fact, the opposite is true: when you have in struggle, everyone starts to move away from you, avoiding you because they are afraid if you ask for help. This behavior of friends, relatives, or acquaintances during your hard times will demotivate you more. Some may be reluctant to lend a helping hand but it will bring more disaster in your life that will make you more dependent.
Plan for the future:- Make definite plans for each and every aspect of your journey in life, be it your financial infrastructure or relationship, or health. Make specific plans for everything and work yourself in that direction, put in the effort. You may not get the result immediately but if you continue to take proper action you will not have to face new struggles in the future. Get yourself out of the hard shell of the past and think far-reaching thoughts. Sometimes a plan may fail, but failure is not the end of life, it is the beginning of a new path, a new journey. Your specific planning and persistence can ensure the success of that journey.
Final thoughts:-
The struggle of life is to develop oneself in a hostile environment and to get proper training. Commitment to fulfill dreams increases our self-awareness and builds our self-confidence making us much more struggling. The struggle in our lives comes not to overwhelm us but to fly with wings, preparing us to ascend and helping us learn to fly gracefully.

How to make the day much more productive.

A moment in a day can change a person's life. So, if you can make a productive day or every 365 days of the year productive, think about how much higher the success of life can be. There are 24 hours a day for each of us. To a very successfulperson, scientist, businessman, billionaire, or ordinary people, student, an unsuccessful one has not even more or less a minute than 24 hours.
Successful people are in control of almost every single moment of the day in their lives. Unsuccessful people are unsuccessful because they waste time or misuse it by watching movies, reading the newspaper, gossiping, spending time on social media, chatting or criticizing others, or worrying.
What does a Productive Day mean?
Productive Day means how energetic you have been throughout the day. how much you have grown, how much time you have made, how much you have contributed to yourself, your family, or your community, how much you enjoy the day. Productive Day means how well you have managed to overcome your challenges, how much effort you have put into solving the problem, and how successful you have been. Above all, a productive day means that you can go to bed at night feeling comfortable.
Ofcourse, " morning says the day", but remember that the day starts at the end of the night; sleepless nights can make your start worse.
What are the things that make our days unproductive?
Sleepless nights:- In order to keep yourself productive or to use the full power of the brain, you need sound sleep. According to medical science, an adult needs 7 to 9 hours of sleep. Sleepless nights or sleep deprivation causes high blood pressure; the body's living organisms cannot function properly; the body does not stay fresh and becomes naturally weak, which influenced directly to our mind. Which makes our state or mood worse. Naturally, productivity decreases.
Some of the common causes of insomnia include anxiety, watching provocative movies; spending time on social media and going to bed late; and also drinking extra tea-coffee or nicotine. Wasting time behind social media, watching tv, cinema and waking up late from bed and going out for work is a routine of a horrible day.
Messy Routine:- A messy routine is a sign of random living. Most people are accustomed to carrying themselves back to their usual routine. In that routine there is no constructive thought and no plan to develop oneself. Life goes on as usual. There is no time to develop mind or to take care of body. I believe that everything can not go well with following a specific routine throughout the day but some of the time can be spent on improving yourself, keeping your body healthy, and developing your mind.
Irrelevant thoughts:- Most people are more worried about others, and with their own past and future. Changing your past and someone else's is beyond your control. The rest is the future, and today is the suitable day for you to make it beautiful and prosperous. Each productive day will make sure that your future will be beautiful, so why not be constructive today!
Ordinary people have a strange kind of thinking about how to increase savings from their own earnings. There is no thought of how to increase earning and what they can do new for it. Irrelevant thoughts, negative thoughts, Increase in the Brain through Media and irrelevant discussion. Our minds are filled with negativity when we watch negative news and discuss negative events. A virus of negative thinking makes our minds conservative, just as a virus paralyzes software and hangs over a computer.
How to make the day much more productive:-
Focus on yourself, get off to a great start:-Set a specific time to wake up as early as possible every day. After waking up, freshen up and change your physiology with at least some light exercise or walking. Positive psychology will shift yourmindinto a positive state; your mood will be freshed. Our state produces results. The quiet environment of the morning is the most suitable for developing one's mind and body. If the body and mind are not healthy, even the friend's birthday party also becomes unhappy; it feels poisonous. Set aside time at the beginning of the day toprogram your mindand develop yourself physically. Behind every productivity or discovery in the world lies the infinite power of our minds.
During morning, arrange your tasks according to their importance. Try to complete the most important tasks early in the day. This will make your day and work more productive.

Enjoy your work:-Enjoy your work without fighting with them. Bathing is also a very complicated task if you do not enjoy it. When we find complexity in work, we call it hard work. All work is not for everyone, do what is relevant to you and say directly 'no' to the rest. If a mechanical engineer goes to do software maintenance work, it will get messy; the work will be complicated.

Take a break from work:-Constant work and usage of brain drains energy and quickly makes the productive day unproductive. Take some time to change the physiology, to change the mental state. Sometimes small breaks can increase the efficiency of work a few times. If you don't take a break and don't change the state of mind, things will go wrong, 30 minutes of work can take an hour or more.
Leave work at your work place:-Do not carry all work buggage in your head or in your suitcase after leaving work place. Evaluate what you have done all day and what is left over. Don't think about them once you get out of there. Otherwise those will embarrass you if you think about it and may even take away your night's sleep. Along with the job evaluation, complete-the day evaluation as well, how much did you grow, what were you able to contribute, what challenges did you face, and how did you solve them! These will increase yourself-confidence.
Enjoy at the end of the day:-Don't look back; make your mood flutter. Enjoy some time with family, friends or alone, which is your favorite. Enjoy your life openly; don't think about what happened, what you didn't get, or what someone said throughout the day. It is also a step towards making your next day more productive.
Go to bed with wonderful feelings:-This step is most important to make the next day more productive. A good sleep is the first indicator of your work ethic throughout the day. Take your dinner at the right time, take a short walk without going to bed, wash your face with water and then go to bed. Before that, of course, keep mobile or other electronics gadgets as far away as you can.
Lay down on your back for two to five minutes to calm your mind and visualize the maingoalsof your life, what you want to be as a person and what you want to get. Imagine all the things you want, to belong with you, enjoy them and fall asleep. The extremely powerful subconscious mind is always alert; he deceives us when we fall asleep.Visualizationof the outcome at bed time leads directly to the subconscious mind and the subconscious mind starts to work on how to make the dream successful.
Why taking the first step becomes the hardest task.
How to take the first step easily.
What is the hardest thing to do in one's life personally? It is natural for everyone's answer to be different from different perspectives. Think very calmly that the most complex task for each of us is to take the 'first step'. Every circumstance in life, from learning to ride a bicycle for the first time, to entering the world of earning, even to the events of the first love affair, if you ask the question, you will see how reasonable the answer is. Taking the first step in each case is a big challenge and success followed it whenever you take it. Our lives are made up of many small successes like this and the most important role for each success is the decision of taking the first step.
The 'first step' can create a huge difference between ordinary people and ultimate success. A great start can bring a gold medal, fill with honor, and the mistake of the first step can fill with despair. Every Olympic swimmer, runner, or other competitor knows its immense importance. Defeat is certain if there is no precise balance of goals and actions. It is impossible to reach the top of the Himalayas lying in bed, for which it is necessary to take certain steps and proper actions.
Why taking the first step becomes the hardest task:-
Just as we can't get out of the house through a closed door, keeping the door of the mind closed and thinking about fulfilling the dream of success is like building a castle in the air. To take the first step by opening the door of the mind, you don't need anything huge, you need a mindset. But the fear of everything else we can not open the door of the mind. Why is that?
Firstly, we do not set a specific goal, and even if we do set a goal, at the beginning of the journey we constantly think about the obstacles along the way, that is, the negative aspects. As a result, unknown fears are transmitted to our brain, and the black cloud of negative thoughts continues to consume dreams. Our legs tremble to take the first step. The logicians will say that it is foolish to go without thinking. I will ask them, after thinking about everything, how much success they have had and how successful they have been without any obstacles.
Secondly, Alibis:- Whenever our minds are filled with bad thoughts, we are always looking for excuses to procrastinate. Once you start making excuses, thousands of excuses come out, today is not a good day, there is no suitable environment, lack of enough money, today the weather is not good etcetera. Most common and big excuses are 'situation is not perfect, other people are not supporting or agree with me and my skills are not enough.' I would like to know if the situation is right if the parents, family, and acquaintances support, and if have the right skills then success is achieved! Or if successful, everything will change, and skills will be developed in the journey of success!
Thirdly, Trying to find options:- Almost all of us are very comfortable, we become lazy when we want to do something new. The image of the Comfort Zone in our subconscious mind floats before our eyes. We've already put terrible consequences of moving forward on the mental screen with the negative thought, the image pops up in front of us every time we take a step and signals us not to move from our comfort zone. That's when we start looking for options, easy options, easy ways, it may not be the direction to meet our goals. Getting a job in a primary school after studying engineering is not a success, it is just like an airplane flying to Singapore but reaching Honolulu, though you will get water, soil, air, and food in both the places.
How to take the first step easily:- In the previous discussion it must have been understood that most of the distractions are created by anxiety on our mental screen, so if you can overcome that obstacle then you can easily take the first step. If you have set specific goals then following the steps will help you a lot to take the first step.
Think what you are going to achieve:- Imagine that you have reached your goal, try to feel that joy, that happiness, visualize how your environment is changing, how your behavior, your values, and your identity have changed. What compliments people are giving, what great purposes you are serving, how much your respect has increased, and how many people love you. This method will build your neurological alignment which will not only eliminate your negative internal representation but also will increase your focus, will be inspired from within, will increase your persistence, will eliminate inner conflict, and increase self-confidence.
Do not wait for the environmental conditions to be favorable:- Environmental conditions are not conducive and are to be taken. Obstacles or failures are not a problem, they help you to become best-self, to grow up if you evaluate them properly. Talk to yourself, love yourself, and you will see the light of your heart shine, this light will illuminate the environment.
Don't expect support from others:- Get yourself out of the idea that someone will support you then you will take the first step. Start the journey, if you keep going a little bit, if you get success, you will see that many people have become your supporters. No one supports the unsuccessful person from the heart. The 'extended hand' is an excuse for those who do not have a definite plan to move forward in life. Lazy, low-spirited people explain to others what is the reason for not doing and seek support.
Have enough confidence in yourself, and rely on your knowledge and skills. How you can use your intellect and knowledge is important, not how much you have. Find your strengths and use them properly then success will come. Develop your attitude. Relying on others will increase your setbacks, if you want to move forward, you should not hold back. No one will let you win, you have to develop the habit of winning.
Disgusted with life? That means, you are not in balance. Your life is not in balance. As human beings we have so many responsibilities. We have a responsibility to our family, children, social and work or job. By performing all these responsibilities and duties, the consistency of our life is about to be lost, and that makes our life disbalanced.
The stability of everything in this universe depends on its balance. Skyscrapers are built while maintaining balance; huge ships float on the water for balance. Without balance nothing is unsustainable, be it in the case of any material object or in the case of our life. Similarly, happiness is not only lost when there is no balance in life; it also has significant effects on all aspects of our lives, such as worldly life, career or spiritual life. Even its evil effects harm us physically and mentally.
What is the meaning of balance in life and why it is lost:- Balance in life means mental well-being, being physically fit and at the same time achieving materialistic things, that is, achieving and enjoying outward success. If this trio is not consistent, then life is bound to lose balance.
I will first talk about Materialistic Things because mostly we lose our balance in life just by running after it. Cars, houses, money, wealth, all these are materialistic things. Materials things are so enticing that the demand of them is never fulfilled; when we achieve one, we look for another. We spend most of our lives trying to achieve these things. When we buy a car, we feel very happy for a few days, we stay joyfully. After a few days it seems that the car of another brand is better; the car of another segment is better. We have the same reaction to each and every materialistic thing, whether it is a bungalow or an electronic gadget. The same is true for money and wealth. The only thing that makes whether a millionaire or poor people suffer is because he has no balance in life.
Then come to the point of physical health, many people lose their balance of life due to physical illness. Keeping our bodies completely healthy is a big challenge, especially in this modern age where there is a plethora of interesting foods, too much work load and stress. Work stress sometimes takes away both eating and sleeping, which are most essential for staying healthy. I must also mention the addiction to social media. We no longer have time to spend 10 to 20 minutes on exercise but can easily spend a few hours on social media. Don't even think for a second that all the materialistic things we're working so hard to achieve are worthless without the body.
The body and our mind complement each other, so in order to bring balance to life first we must be mentally stable. Happiness, joy, ecstasy, agony, anger, pleasant- unpleasant, measurable, love-everything is our state of mind. All those things are generated from within. We feel happy, feel love, feel pleasure from inside; there are no other sources. Those feelings make us satisfied or unsatisfied. There is nothing in this world that can bring happiness and peace to your life if you cannot accept it from the heart. If you are satisfied from inside you don't have to need an expensive car to be happy, you don't have to need a huge bungalow to be ecstatic. This does not mean that we do not need these things.
What can happen in life if you lose balance:- Just as a multi-storied building can be dusted off in a matter of moments when it loses its balance, the earth can be destroyed just as life can be. Initially, the following symptoms can be easily detected if we are losing our balance in life and if we take such precautions then the consequences will definitely be better.
Make the mind fertile and productive:-The first requirement for maintaining balance in life is mental change and preparation. The mind that produces our behavior, the source of our good and bad feelings, needs to be developed. If you ask yourself some very simple questions and take the answers genuinely from your own mind and visualize them for better clarity, then a lot more equality will come back in life. Ask yourself, 'What do you want to achieve? Why do you want? What steps do you need to take to achieve those goals?'
An illusion needs to be removed first, we think that if we achieve something, our mind will be filled with automatic happiness and peace. No, not at all. Thoughts and feelings, values and principles, respect, blessings, happiness and peace are completely different, the origin of which is our brain, our mind. Materialistic things are byproducts, they will keep coming to you, if you are steadfast in your goal, you will grow yourself, you will be focused on the goal, and take action properly, there is no need to romp apart.
Take care of the body:- It doesn't take much time to take care of the body separately, at least fifteen minutes can be given every day to play, exercise or morning walk; this will keep both your body and mind healthy. Eating at the right time and taking balanced food is very important for the body. Especially when there is work pressure, we swallow food or procrastinate, which makes it toxic to the body. It is very important to give timely rest to the body. 7 to 8 hours of sound sleep is required every day, without any disturbance.
We have five sense organs to perceive external objects for enjoyment. These sense organs report to our brain and our brain reacts as per representation. If these sense organs do not work, we will not have a separate meaning for each object or event, so we need to take care of the body to keep them active.
Enjoy time without running with it:- Enjoy work while working. At that time, if you think about the family or something else, the solution remains far away, on the contrary, the complexity of the work will increase. In the same way, when you spend time with your family, you will have to stay focused. You will not be able to enjoy the companions if you enter another world of thought and your family will be also disappointed to have you with them.
If someone ask me which is the biggest enemy of human life, without confusion my answer will be 'Fear'. Fear is an unresourceful state of mind that eats away at it from within. Every human being is more or less a victim of the attack of this subtle and secret enemy. In many cases its invisible attacks and deceptions make our lives miserable. Fear increases anxiety, makes a person worry.
Fear is actually an intense unpleasant emotion. This emotion stimulates our body and causes our physiological changes. Fear is judged as rational and irrational. Rational fear is very important for us, of course, but I will discuss the irrational fear which we regard as phobia. The root cause of this fear is doubt, doubt on the ability of oneself.
Fear alone is enough to low your self-esteem, to erode confidence, to impede perseverance, no longer need an external enemy. Fear of something is the main reason for your cowardice, inability to make decisions, procrastination, discouragement, apathy and loss of desire. Statistics shows that all sectors such as business, politics, cinema, sports, or whatever, have successfully reached the peak of those who have overcome their fears.
'The fears' human beings are suffering from:- There are some basic fears on which or some combination with which every human suffers one or another time.
The fear of failure:- This fear starts when a child first learns to walk. Although the child does not have the slightest trace of this fear in his mind, the seeds are sowed by his parents and relatives. Many meritorious students cannot pass the interview for fear of failure and live a life of unemployment. We cannot set big goals in life for fear of failure.
The fear of poverty:- We are living in an age of economic madness. In this age, money brings honor, brings success, name and fame. The rich have become the most powerful, they are beyond the law, the richest people in politics, the economic control is in their hands. Now love(showing) is being sold in the open market. Even people in your family cannot easily accept you unless you have the financial support to do for them. Naturally, it is not surprising that mankind fears poverty. Fear of poverty makes people mentally and physically lazy, weak. The black cloud of negative thoughts swallows up which leads to various bad habits, loss of control over oneself, formation of skepticism, onset of procrastination.

The fear of death:- These unknown ghosts of fear take the lives of millions of people every year. The COVID-19 situation showed us the severity of this ghost. Fear of death has turned many people's lives into hell. If death engulfs, millions of people are getting sick every day for fear of this. A number of unscrupulous businessmen, politicians and the media are constantly trying to instill this fear in our minds. Insurance or Mediclaim's businesses are booming, keeping awake this fear within us.
Fear of criticism:- The scourge of criticism is not easy to heal, it can last lifetime. Almost everyone is afraid of criticism, and knowingly tries to use this weapon on one another. Even parents do their children irreparable injury by criticising them. People are so brassy with the fear of Criticism that they don't hesitate to throw away their loved. Most people think of criticism as a stepping stone to success, so they try to use it whenever they get the chance. The misconception of the human race is that if one is not being dragged down, one cannot rise to the top. The easiest and most appropriate way to pull someone down is to hurt them emotionally, and that can be done very easily through criticism. This is so easy and enjoyable that without any cricketing knowledge or qualifications, while chatting, kissing over a cup of tea sat to criticize the great cricketer Sachin Tendulkar.
The fear of loss of love:- This fear is most painful out of others. For ages this fear has been crippling the human race, especially the male society. Symptoms of this fear are feeling jealousy, getting angry at something, blaming others.
How to over come fear:-
Identify fear and its causes. Overcoming fear is one of your challenges so identify it first. For which you are afraid of? Why are you getting fear? Find out when you have this fear, ask yourself, check if there is a valid reason for your fear. Build confidence in your own ability, in your own knowledge. Keep yourself busy in relevant works. Your mind always wants to be busy. If you don't keep him busy with good things, he will lead you to bad things.
Always refrain from criticism, slander, gossip. Stop listening, watching, and discussing negative news altogether. They will programme your mind negatively and causes fear. Don't hang out with people who are depressed and anxious, instead, associates with people who have a positive mind set. Read the story of a successful personality, excluding listening, watching or reading, stories of failure or sadness.
Meditate to keep your mind calm and healthy and at the same time keep your body healthy.
Every fear that I have mentioned is unrealistic, the origin of this fear from your blind faith, past experience or thinking about the future. It has no real existence except your mind. Your thoughts carry some unrealistic imagination in your brain and your mind nurture them, so change your thought-process.
Think about what you are serving or are going to serve others anyway, what you are contributing or will do. Think , everything is for you, all opportunities are available for you when you serve and contribute yourself properly.
"A river cuts through a rock not because of its power but because of its persistence."
James N Watkins
Persistence is the outstanding quality of being steadfast in one's outcome or goal, regardless of all obstacles, hindrances, and discouragement. There is no second alternative to perseverance. This is one of the ladders of our success. Lack of persistence is the main reason why almost 98% of people failed. This weakness is just like fire, the lower it is, the less heat it will produce. Lack of persistence extinguishes the fire of our inner willpower. Lack of perseverance alone makes most people fail in the beginning. With perseverance, you can achieve success in all aspects of life.
Out of thousands, I want to give an example of a great person who achieved tremendous success with persistence. Abraham Lincoln, an incredible character who has additionally been the ex-leader of the USA has experienced routinely huge disappointments for quite a long time after the year. Lincoln fizzled in his business in the year 1831 and after which in the year 1836, he got a significant mental meltdown. Battling reliably for a really long time, he again fizzled in 1856 during US official races. Battling and battling reliably he became the sixteenth President of the USA in 1861 and continued driving towards his lifestyle. He had enough reason to give up but he never did.
Persistence is another extremely valuable state of mind like many others. Naturally, this state changes when we face various obstacles, fail again and again, and various discouraging events happen. The human race is endowed with a special natural reward, that is patience. But about 99% of people lose patience in one way or another. In front of nature, in front of this society, every moment we are facing some or many the other test. We lose this constant test only when we are impatient and when there is a lack of persistence.
How to develop persistence:- Persistence doesn't demand a great level of intelligence, education, not a large amount of money but a little bit of time and effort. We can cultivate this power within us.
These are the necessary steps you can follow to gain the habit of persistence.

Specific purpose with strong willpower:- First you need to set your specific goals or objectives and set goals that will keep you going all the time. If you feel motivation from within, your willpower will be strong. The combination of a specific purpose and strong desire will make you persistent.
Definite plans:- Once you find the purpose, make specific plans to make it a success. If you move with a definite plan, the chances of failure will be low. And as the afraid of failure diminishes, the habit of persistence will be developed.
Control over mind:- You have to control your mind. There will always be obstacles, there will be criticism, there will be negative suggestions from your friends and family members, and there is no shortage of people to discourage at every moment. It is your challenge to keep your mind tied up tightly in all sorts of situations, here is the tough examination of your perseverance.
Build good habits:- Persistence is directly influenced by our habits. Everything we do every day or whatever we are habituated to do nurtures our minds. It is not possible to get inspiration without the spontaneous support of the mind. Lack of motivation will take away your persistence.
Persistence is the key to the success of many great people. Only perseverance can transform extreme defeat into victory. Success in any endeavor is never possible without perseverance. The factor that can transmute your desire, and your goal into the real form of success is persistence.
Procrastination is the tendency to unnecessarily delay in doing anything or in taking decisions. Procrastination not only slows down our life but also loses the focus of life. Almost all of us have to face this great challenge of life at some point. Almost everyone knows the story of the tortoise and the rabbit. Extremely faster rabbits had to concede defeat due to his procrastination in a race to the tortoise.
In the lives of most people, one of the biggest enemies in the guise of a friend is 'excuse'. And this excuse and procrastination seem to be spiritually intertwined. We make excuses to procrastinate, and we procrastinate to find excuses. One of the obstacles in the way of success in life is the understanding of these two. Procrastination is so ingrained in our way of life that we have come to regard it as a credit, despite thinking it's a major obstacle. Procrastination has now become our social and mental disorder.
If a child asks for something he needs to study, his parents make excuses and say, "I will bring it tomorrow, not today." Our procrastination suppresses a child's emotions in this way. And gradually the child also grows up accepting it as a normal principle of his life and later this principle becomes rule.
We wait for the right time to do any work. Well, tell me what is the right time? If now, this moment is not right for you then how would you dare to dream of tomorrow!

What are the effects of procrastination on our lives:-
There are mainly two scientific reasons for procrastination in any activity. The first is that before we do anything, our mind has to point out all its negative aspects, in fact, we have nurtured our thinking pattern in that way. Whenever negative thoughts swirl in our head we find excuses not to do that or not to take that decision. The longer we delay, the the work will become more complex and we become reluctant to do that. Until our brain find the reword in a task, we can never be inspired on that.
Our brains values instant rewards far more than future rewards. Whenever the brain sees that the store of instant rewards is empty, procrastination begins.
Secondly:- We have accepted our normal lives as the most comfortable zone of our life, no matter how hard that life is or how miserable it is. In that life, no matter whatever the relationship complex or the economic complexity, we like to limit ourselves, we feel comfortable on those. We do not look after the joy or adventure in doing something new. That’s why small barriers appear as large obstruction. What we consider as a comfort zone is actually our familiar zone, we get habituated to having this zone. We think painfully anything outside the familiar zone and our minds always want to get rid of that pain. He seeks excuses and procrastinates as a way to avoid pain.
How to break the pattern of procrastination:-
Once we know the reason for the procrastination, our goal of overcoming this bad habit is not a very difficult one. We have lots of potential and lots of power through which we can break this pattern easily by taking actions. The 'excuse' that our minds make 'will do tomorrow, today I will be in relax' is in fact an intention not to do that activity. We need to visualize well to get rid of this clever trap of the brain. We need to visualize what problems we are going to face if we are not able to complete the work we are procrastinating to do, what could be the loss in life. Whenever the mind feels the pain of not being able to do the work on time, immediately bring to mind the benefits of doing the work. Realise what rewards you are going to be awarded, how comfortable and happiness you will feel when you will complete the job. Enjoy the infinite joy of getting the job done emotionally, rather than the immediate joy of delaying. Remember, our mind alloys want to gain pleasure.
No matter how complicated the work is, if we have interest, we do not hesitate to do it. We are reluctant to do all the work that we do not enjoy, we do not get the benefit by hand. There are rewards hidden in every work, there is happiness, finding it with the consciousness will inspire you to start doing.
When you try to roll a drum weighing a few tons from a stationary position, you will feel it a Hercules task. When you start pushing, the drum is started to moves slowly down it will be felt light, it will be easier to move. The more you think about what you need to do, the more complicated it will become, it will be difficult to get started. Start doing whatever is important to you or whatever you have to do, it will gradually get better.
What disappoint us is not the work itself, it's our thinking how hard it will going to be. Our thoughts make the work more difficult. You will never reach your destination unless you start. When you start, you will find something new in every step, you will be optimistic and you will have faith in yourself. Worry does the damages, not work. This cloud of worry will disappear only when you start moving forward, start working.
