Monday Motivation From Scriptures (MMFS-5): Focused Mind is Key to SUCCESS

Hi,
The mind is the most powerful weapon for achieving your goals, however high they might be. We have a tendency to get attracted to everything, and in the process lose sight of what we truly want. The story from 'Mahabharata' is a reminder for all of us in today’s life.
-------------------------------------------------
Focused Mind is Key to SUCCESS
Once while practicing archery lessons from their Guru Dronacharya, the hundred Kaurava brothers and the five Pandava brothers were told to shoot the eye of a toy bird kept on a tree. While aiming, when asked by the Guru, what they could see in front of them, all the brothers except Arjun said, they saw the tree, the branches, the leaves, bird and so on. However when Arjun was asked, he replied that he could see ONLY the eye of the bird, which he had to shoot. Arjun went on to become the greatest archer ever.
-------------------------------------------------
Thus is the power of the focused mind, which can only see its goal to achieve it. People proved it time and again that once they chose a goal and worked on it with single-minded focus, they achieved it, irrespective of their age and stage in life. Though the earlier the better it is, it is never too late. With so many distractions all around nowadays, it is a bit of challenge to stay focused. But FOCUS is the key to success.
With love and regards,
Siva
