Strength does not come from physical capacity, but rather from an
indomitable will.This is a quote from Mahatma Gandhi and if anyone proved it to be true, it was him. Others have put it another way, never take 'no' for an answer. Life is more bendable to our will than most of us think. Do you agree?

Will can make every thing possible. Swami vivekanand has also quated on will and performed accordingly. But at the same time one should not forget the principle of teamwork that means one should not go for such target where team or more than one do not get benefited. In total will should be in positive direction rather than taking negative and selfish target.

Hi Maulik: Thanks for make us remember this other lesson too. that's right too. We shouldn't think just in us. We live in a world full of people, we need them and at the same time there are so many tghings that we can do to make our communities better places. Humans are social animals. We need eachothers and if we work not only for ourselves but for the good of our group things would be better.

Each and every individual is creating his or her own life, moment by moment as we live each day. We create our challenges,and problems as well as triumphs. No way can we place blame on others for life's failures!Even as we accept our honors,successes, and victories, we must also claim our failures, defeats, and disappointments. Its all part of our own evolution, as we slowly climb the ladder towards God.

Our espression would be " There is more than one way to skin a cat". Hubby has a great deal of this attitude in his make up, this has made for a very interesting life and the meeting of some very interesting people. It's not an easy way to live, but at least you know you have lived.

Hi pose,
Physical strength gets multiplied when gets support from indomitable will. In the book 1 of 'Paradise Lost' the leader of the arch-rival of God led by Satan were inspired ..."What though the field be lost, all is not lost, the unconquerable will and the study for revenge..."
Just see how motivating was the speech. The followers got doubly strengthened hearing their leader say so.
Even though those believe that life is like a pre recorded film and hence what is to happen would happen can be diverted a little with the power of our will.
In the olden age sages were heard to have performed miracle and now we tend not to believe that. But the power of will is so strong that a total concentration could change the stream of event from one to another.

Hi Pose: I have to agree with you. When we know what is what we want, what is good for us and we work to be the man that we want, we will do tghe things that people think they were impossible. There are many examples in human history. Gandhi is one of the best examples I think. Thanks for sharing with us this quote.
