How To Get What You Want
A question that often arises is: Are desires fulfilled by power of the mind concentrating in a particular direction, or by the deity or evil spirit worshipped by the individual? The Lord has declared in the Bhagwad Gita, “I don’t give anyone anything, because in My hand, there is nothing. It is all your delusion.”
When your mind approaches an altar demanding something, the Lord increases your sankalp shakti, your willpower. When you work with greater faith in a given profession, your dexterity, self-confidence, belief in yourself, and your faith in the profession increase.
You and I consider it God’s grace through which we attained what we wanted. True. But God does not distribute His grace unequally, giving more to those who serve Him! It is as if Narayana has a ‘desire’ to enjoy your kirtan and puja. When He is pleased and happy with your puja, He quietly throws one packet to you, not to the other fellow who is not doing it.
Disadvantages of getting angry Here are some of the potential drawbacks of getting angry:
|
When you fix your mind on any topic, your devotion, faith, and confidence increase: “I will get it, I will get it, I will get it!” With atma bala, inner strength, you say: “It is not for me; this is the Lord’s will; it will happen; it will bless everybody!” Then it will happen.
This sankalp shakti is lost when the mind is distracted. When you desire one thing, 10,000 others surface, and the mind is disintegrated. The mind is like Aladdin’s wonderful lamp. Rub it, and the genie appears, ready to do anything you order. He asks, “Master, what do you want?”
You tell him your immediate need – a cup of tea. The genie turns around to bring the tea. But you call him again, and he returns for your instructions. “Make sure it’s hot!” “Yes, Master,” he says and turns around. Again, you call, “Genie! Add a good amount of milk and sugar.” Once again, the genie turns, but you call out, “Don’t forget to bring hot pakoras to go with the tea.”
Natural way to brighten your skin There are several reasons why your skin may not be glowing, If you’re looking to naturally brighten your skin, there are several ways to enhance your complexion over time. Here are some effective and natural methods: DehydrationCause: When your skin is dehydrated, it looks dull and lifeless. Proper hydration is key for a healthy, glowing complexion. Lack of SleepCause: Insufficient sleep can cause your skin to look tired and dull. Your skin needs rest to repair and rejuvenate itself. |
Now the genie is like a top swirling around in the same place. He cannot do anything because the sankalp lacks consistency. When hundreds of sankalps erupt together, nothing is accomplished.
If you make your mind single-pointed and approach the Higher at an altar, you will develop more faith, and when you have sufficient strength of sankalp, it will happen!
So, be an instrument in His hands – It is your ego that makes a fool of you. Surrender it and see the Spirit expressing itself more vividly through you.

When your skin becomes dry, it may overproduce oil, potentially making acne worse.

Make your will crystal clear.
Vague goals = weak will.
Clear goals = strong will.
Instead of “I want to get fit,” set a clear goal like “I want to lose 5 pounds in 3 months.”
Break your goal into small steps.
Big goals are intimidating, small steps are easier to follow.
Can’t study for an hour?
Read for 10 minutes first.
Fighting a 5K run?
Start with 500 meters.
Strengthen your WHY.
Willpower grows when you know why you want to do something.
|
Ask yourself:
Why do I want this?
How will this improve my life?
Strong WHY → Strong Willpower
Change the Environment
Willpower is often defeated by the environment.
Want to break bad habits?
Remove triggers (like putting away your phone while studying).
Want to add good habits?
Keep things within arm’s reach (like keeping your gym clothes in front of you).
Adopt the 5-Minute Rule
Even when you don’t feel like it, just start working for 5 minutes.
Most often, 5 minutes turns into 30 minutes.
Reward Yourself
The brain needs to know that the effort is worth it.
When the task is complete,
10 minutes off the phone
Favorite snack
A break
Small rewards boost willpower.
Self-Discipline = Muscle

willpower grows through small, everyday disciplines:
Waking up early
Going to bed on time
Making a small habit every day
Calm your mind (Meditation / Breathwork)
Meditation and calm breathing scientifically increase willpower because they strengthen the part of your brain where self-control is formed.
Understand failure as part of the process
Willpower doesn’t break—it resets.
If you make a mistake, start again the next day.
