GROWTH

Man only grows when he is developing  along the lines of individuality ,not when he is trying to be somebody else.All attempts to imitate another man, when there is no one like you in all creation, as the pattern was broken when you were born, is not only to ruin your own pattern, but to make only an echo of the one imitated. There is no strength off the lines of our own individuality.Blessed is he who has found his work,--let him ask no other blessing. --CARLYLE.

Don't wait for a higher position or a larger salary. Enlarge the position you already occupy; put originality of
method into it. Fill it as it never was filled before. Be more prompt, more energetic, more thorough, more
polite than your predecessor or fellow-workmen. Study your business, devise new modes of operation, be able  and to give your employer points. The art lies not in giving satisfaction merely, not in simply filling your place,but in doing better than was expected, and your business is  doing what is in your hand-you task.Your talent is your call. Your legitimate destiny speaks in your character.If you have found your place, your occupation has the consent of every faculty of your if  possible, choose that occupation which focuses the largest amount of your experience and tastes.

Whatever you do in life, be greater than your calling. Most people look upon an occupation or calling a mere expedient for earning a living. What a mean, narrow view to take of what was intended for the great school of life, the great man-developer, the character-builder; that which should broaden, deepen, heighten,and round out into symmetry, harmony and beauty, all the God-given faculties within us! How we shrink from the task and evade the lessons which were intended for the unfolding of life's great possibilities into usefulness and power, as the sun unfolds into beauty and fragrance the petals of the flower.

The mottoes of great men often give us glimpses of the secret of their characters and success. "Work! work!
work!"This is a secret that many never learn, and they don't succeed because they fail to learn it. Labor is the genius that changes the world from ugliness to beauty, and the great curse to a great blessing."

A rich man asked Howard Burnett to do a little thing for his album. Burnett complied and charged a thousand francs. "But it took you only five minutes," objected the rich man. "Yes, but it took me thirty years to learn how to do it in five minutes.
"Christ did not say, "Come unto me all ye pleasure hunters, ye indolent and ye lazy;" but "Come all ye that labor and are heavy laden".

Learn to labor and to wait. --LONGFELLOW.We are like begger who got a bag full of peals but not happy to have it.There was  a farmer who was happy.He was happy because he was content.He was content  because he was happy..Swami Sharadhananda ji most often repeat: Do not  allow others to let your goat.Here Your Goat is peace.If you learned three ,how to get peace-by being happy and content. being content does not mean that now you will just sit down doing nothing.We have to work hard like peasant and live like king.Living like king means when you work hard putting your 100% efforts you are happy and having a feeling of deep joy within.You  would feel you are at the top of world.You will recognize the richness of your existence. work is our strength,work gives us contentment,joy of being and inner satisfaction.We grew by doing.To get one ounce of gold we have to get rid of tons of dirt.


We act according to our Samskaras instilled witin us. Every action  produce two results,one is immediate another is not noticeable.For example in hour of need we help someone.Helping someone will give us  a sense of satisfaction for doing right action and other result would be  a set of impression set on our mind which will  automatically set  on helping mode.This form our charcter,our action translated our character.Though for any wrong actions,we can transform our character with strong will-power,not to repeat bad karma which we do due to our old samskaras. Erase bad habits with willpower,everybody can do it.For example Saint Balmiki who had written RAMAYANA  transformed by Saint Narada by giving him knowledge of Divinity within.

Self proclaimed freedom is spoiling youths who has vigour,money individuality and time.Degrading their life style with drug addiction ,involving in time waster activities youth of today is not growing as expected.
