Many of us know the fact that, simply visualizing about our dream car will not bring us a brand new car. Day dreaming about our future, will neither bring us anything into our life. But the interesting fact is, this may let us do some inspired actions towards achieving them.
Unfortunately many of us never even try to do the action part, they will continue day dreaming and never achieve any of their personal or professional goals. But some others do start the action part but they may be too much focused on the result or the benefits from their actions. These people become nervous and overwhelmed by giving too much importance to the future results.
If we are completely focusing on the results like professional fame, rewards, appreciation and successful completion of projects etc. Then we will definitely end up in a big failure. Our job as a professional, is to completely dedicate ourselves to the actions in the now and not to worry about the result in the future.
As per the Indian holy book, Bhagavat Gita "You have a right to perform your prescribed action, but you are not entitled to the fruits of your action. Never consider yourself the cause of the results your activities, and never be associated to not doing your duty".
That means we are here to do the actions or the Karma, the fruits of our actions will be delivered unto us in many folds than we expected without our intervention. Yes, creative visualization on our personal and professional goals is the first step. The next step which is the most important step that is taking the inspired actions with an undivided attention.
The following actions exemplify the earlier quote jotted from Bhagavat Gita:
Do our best work without the attachment to the rewards. Dedicating ourselves in learning new technologies and skill-set without the attachment to the corporate hierarchy. Delivering an extraordinary presentation without the attachment for an appreciation. Helping co-beings without the attachment to their gratefulness in return.
Our privilege is to take the right actions. The fruit of our action or the Karma-phala is up-to the ultimate creative power, and it is his will to respond. If we are focusing on the results in the future we will never be able to do our best work in the present. So lets keep our trust in the ultimate creative power (or the God or Bhramman or the universe whatever you wish to call) and dedicate ourselves in our actions; then it is sure that the universe will deliver miraculous results for our efforts sooner or later.
To unleash our full potential and to do exceptional work:
1. Focus and dedicate on our actions in the Now
2. Be detached from the results in the Future
Lets keep focusing on Now :)
