Self Confidence-The Basis for Faith in God - A Formula for Success Part 03

[Guest guest]

Great achievements grow from confidence and a plan. When Noah heard the voice of God, he set about to build an ark. He did not question his boat building skills. He did not despair at his possible inability to make so many animals live together in a small boat. He had confidence in his own ability to learn all the necessary skills for the project. The town folk who came to jeer could not deter Noah from his plan. He maintained his self confidence and acted on the Lord's command.Little is accomplished without formulating a plan and adhering to it. To manifest the divine vision, we must have faith in the goal and inGod. We may not always choose the quickest path, but we learn along the way. No progress is made without some mistakes. Obstacles help us develop strength and stamina. With time and experience, we reach the goal."Have faith

in yourself, your own capacity to adhere to a strict time table of sadhana (spiritual discipline), your own ability to reach thegoal of realization. When you have no faith in the wave, how can you get faith in the ocean?" BabaWhen we have confidence in our own abilities and faith in God, we can accomplish any task. Faith in self and faith in God grant the strength and patience to achieve any victory."Devotion and self confidence are like the negative and positive. It is the combination of these two that will enable us to fulfill our sacred thought." BabaContinued.. Self Confidence-The Basis for Faith in God - Self realization Part 04
