Mind Power to achieve Greatness

Motivational Theory     

Success, and subsequent greatness, does begin in the mind. Placing equal importance on developing these aspects of personal growth will ensure that our mind is attuned to greatness on many more levels.

The mind determines how we understand and apply all of the factors necessary for personal growth, as specific thought patterns can be established with its powerful influence. All action is preceded by thought. It follows, then, that if we think a certain way it will influence how we act.

It is realized through persistent efforts in establishing the mental and physical attributes needed to reach highest levels.

Greatness gives our lives meaning. Wanting to do and be our best, through goodness, humility, service and character adds value to our life and this added value gives meaning.

Truly great people think great thoughts continuously. By restructuring how we think, how we mentally approach all aspects of our lives, we program our minds for greatness.

Aiyan Thiruvalluvar says

வெள்ளத் தனைய மலர்நீட்டம் மாந்தர்தம்

உள்ளத் தனையது உயர்வு. (595)

जलज-नाल उतनी बड़ी, जितनी जल की थाह ।
नर होता उतना बड़ा, जितना हो उत्साह ॥ (५९५)

Explanation by Scholars: 

The stalks of water-flowers are proportionate to the depth of water; so is men's greatness proportionate to their minds.

தண்ணீரின் அளவுதான் அதில் மலர்ந்துள்ள தாமரைத் தண்டின் அளவும் இருக்கும். அதுபோல மனிதரின் வாழ்க்கையின் உயர்வு அவர் மனத்தில் கொண்டுள்ள ஊக்கத்தின் அளவே இருக்கும்.
