Strength and Accomplishment
(topic)
ARTICLE on Personal
Strength
How one's personal
psychological strength is key to success and happiness in life.
Priority of Individual
Characteristics for Accomplishment
The requirements of
accomplishment for an individual in order of importance are strength,
organization and skills.
Requirements for Accomplishment
In order to accomplish and
be joyful in life one must have the right attitudes, psychological
strength, show deep concern for others, have the full requirement of
skills and knowledge, be organized to the hilt, and have direction. We
can measure ourselves and determine who we are by considering these
factors in our lives.
Strength as Key Attribute of Success
Psychological strengths
is one of several human qualities -- along with energy, direction,
organization, capacity, and attitude -- that are key to great success
and accomplishment. Without it, we will be kept from ever rising to a
higher level of achievement -- we are likely to
fall back, and even be crushed out of
existence.
Strength Accomplishes
Strength accomplishes, weakness fails.
Courage and Solving Problems
Courage and
problems have an inverse relationship with one another. If a
problem appears to be big it does so only because our
courage is less. If the courage level rises what appeared to
be a big problem becomes a small problem.
From Weakness to Strength
Inner, psychological strength is an
important determining factor in your ability to succeed in life. We have
seen that those who are strong, succeed; while those who are weak, fall
back or fail. We have also noticed that if you make the effort to
exercise strength in areas where you have demonstrated weakness in the
past, life can suddenly and abundantly respond. For example, one man
moved from weakness to strength by bringing up an important issue with a
business partner that he was previously reluctant to raise. As a result,
not only did he resolve that particular problem, but a six-month neck
ache instantly
disappeared! Action Plan: Think
about ways you have been, or are currently expressing psychological
weakness in your work, in your relationships, or in other areas of your
life. Consider what was, or is at the root of the problem. Now come up
with a plan to exercise your strength, and then carry it out. Watch as
life responds miraculously thereafter!
Thoughts on Psychological Strength
-Our
inability to exercise our psychological strength is one of the great
human failings of life. It not only can lead to ongoing and pressing
problems, but can also lead to tragedy.
-Even
selflessness, self-giving, and unconditional love cannot stand up to
meanness, cruelty, and brutality when inner strength is missing.
-If we
understand the ways in which we been helpless, powerless, and vulnerable
in the past, and reverse those tendencies in the present, we will not
only improve the conditions of life around us in a solid manner, but
under the right condition, we can evoke magnificent positive responses
from life.
What Decides is Strength
-
What decides is
strength,
organised strength
to action.
-
At the earliest
stages of society, it was physical
strength.
Now it is the strength of knowledge of information that can stir people
to action at the elections or on the road.
-
This
strength
can be that of Truth or Falsehood, Good or bad, but what counts
is strength.

Strength of Eric
Brockovich
In the film of the true
life story of Erin Brockovich's successful effort to overcome an
injustice we see a fantastic demonstration of strength expressed as
determination, courage, perseverance, toughness, and willingness to
confront life's difficulties head on. That strength ends in a tremendous
achievement and joy for her constituency.
Positive
Strength Expresses as Generosity
Rhett in Gone with the Wind had extraordinary strength in
the physical and an equally great strength of mind. Strength when it
is positive expresses as generosity. He was generous to a fault.
(MSS)
Scarlett's Strength in Gone with the Wind
Scarlett in Gone with the Wind is entirely without scruples or regard
for convention. Her
strength is unmatched, physical as well as psychological. This
attracts Rhett and he could not tolerate her
eluding him. (MSS)
Strength Works In
Tandem with Other Attributes
To accomplish greatly
strength needs to be tied to other fundamental qualities. For example, a
sports team needs to meld strength with talent, even innovation. A
business needs to meld strength with teamwork, concern for staff,
commitment to the customer, organization, and other high values to
succeed. A project team needs to meld strength of commitment and bond
with skills, organization, motivation, direction, cooperation,
coordination, integration, and other attributes and values. In other
words strength alone doesn't accomplish, but it is a critical foundation
of accomplishment. Without it, little can be accomplished.
On Strength
What does not yield to argument yields to strength. (MSS)
On Helplessness
A sense of helplessness is the perfect condition and occasion to offer
ourselves to the Higher Power. It is also an indicator and measure of
our lacking faith and aspiration.
Strength and Life Response
(topic)
Strength Attract
Among the human behaviors that trigger instantaneous and abundant
positive life responses is by acting from
strength when one is weak or in a weak position.
Psychological
Strength & Life Response
When we shift from inner weakness to psychological strength, not
only do we create practical positive conditions -- but when that
transition is great enough and meets the demands of life, we can attract
instances of instantaneous good fortune.
Life Response and Psychological Strength
Any attempt to move from weakness to psychological strength, will
not only bring about higher levels of accomplishment and success that
one might come expect from such actions, but can also under the right
conditions evoke magnificent responses from life.
Greater Psychological
Strength Attracts Positive Life Response
Life
responds to an effort to increase one's (psychological) strength. This
is especially true for those who lack it. Any effort to increase one's
strength will meet with positive results in life.
LIFE
RESPONSE EXAMPLES
-There was a
businessperson who had a partner. The partner was outspoken, crude, and
not very easy to like. The "good" partner was conscientious,
well-mannered, and civilized. One day the good partner realized that
what he himself lacked, the crude partner had in abundance. That was
strength. Strength to act, strength to stand up to adversity, and
strength to take control. When the well-mannered partner exercised his
strength everything began to go right in his company. Orders suddenly
came in, and energy increased all around him. Moreover, the crude
partner stopped his crude behavior, and even cowered before his partner.
-A man had a sever pain in his upper neck for six months.
Also shortly thereafter he began working on a project that was in a
state of much confusion. He mistakenly worked on the project, even
though he and his manager had not come to any proper agreement. He was
doing much work without any pay on it. He finally confronted the manager
on this. At the end of the meeting he noticed that the pain he had
for six months had completely disappeared.

determination, courage, perseverance, toughness, and willingness to
confront life's difficulties head on. That strength ends in a tremendous
achievement and joy for her constituency.
Examples in Literature of
Strength
-In the book Lady Anna,
Anna the young Anna who lives with her mother shows great strength and
determination to be with Daniel, despite her mother's interminable
objection and abuse. She is true to her feelings and remains strong in
that determination to be with someone she loves. In
the end, she prevails, despite great danger to Daniel.
-Likewise in Pride and
Prejudice Lady Catherine browbeats Eliza the heroine, threatening
her if she marries Darcy. Yet she remains firm, adamant, and is not
taken in by Lady Catherine's power of authority to present her from
marrying Darcy.
As a result, life responds in her favor, when Darcy
comes the next day to ask for her hand in marriage because he heard from
Lady Catherine that Eliza may be in love with her. (Lady C's foil thus
backfires.) In other words, taking to strength can cause life to respond
positively in your favor soon thereafter.
Overall,
Eliza
exhibits great strength of character as well
-- indicated by her psychological strength, intelligence, ability to
think and act for her self, etc.
Eliza's Strength in Pride
and Prejudice
It requires the active intervention of Darcy's aunt Lady Catherine
whose intention is to prevent the very marriage she ends up encouraging.
Her report of the rumors and her aggressive interrogation of Eliza about
her intentions with her nephew makes Eliza realize for the first time
that Darcy must still be harboring some hope of marrying her. Having
failed to obtain a pledge from Eliza, who responds with
strength to Lady
Catherine's aggression, the old matriarch rushes off to exert her
influence on Darcy. When Darcy learns from her that Elizabeth has not
openly rejected the rumors, his hope is rekindled and he hastily seeks
the opportunity to visit her. Lady Catherine's perverse opposition to
their marriage enables the two to finally come together. (MSS)-
Taking Responsibility for Lack of
Strength Relative to Society
Society does not teach character to its people. It is not part of the
education system. It is done mainly by parents. Or one learns through
the unfoldings and hardships of life. When the school system, the
upbringing of children through schooling, the society's values, etc.
start teaching the nature of and how to elevate character, then those
who are psychologically weak will be able to become strong, and thus
defend themselves from malevolent and mercenary influences. It also
takes a multi-side knowledge of what is happening around us, so that we
have the mindfulness to perceive the influences -- positive and negative
-- around us.
The spiritual view of life is that we are responsible for all. That we
cannot blame society or anyone. That if we want the world around us to
change, we need to change first. Life will then respond in kind
accordingly.
The active political view is the opposite. When the outer changes, we
will be less exploited. (That view itself is a sign of inner weakness.)
It is not an invalid way of looking at things and relating to life. It
does work, but slowly through life's -- i.e. Nature's -- difficult
method.
The universe is contained within. We can change all conditions outside
ourselves from within. Also from that higher consciousness there is a
concentration of energy that prevents anyone from exploiting us. In this
way, we are the Masters of life, instead of being its helpless victims.
Any negative outside ourselves can be related to an inner wanting
quality. Then if you change the inner quality, the outer instantly
responds in kind -- for our benefit! Then we become life's master,
reversing the equation!
The Way Life Responds to
Strength and Weakness
Life generally honors strength and
punishes weakness. Strength can be in many forms such as
physical, mental, spiritual and financial and the
weakness likewise can be physical, mental, spiritual and
financial. Since life favors strength and
disapproves of weakness, it is bound to treat strong
people and weak people in different ways. These different
treatments may look unjust and unfair to
people with moral notions of right and wrong. But since life
is not bound by morals, it is not concerned with how it is
looked upon by the affected parties. The divine Mother
has come as a savior for people who are weak and they can
try to take her spiritual support to get rid of their
weaknesses and develop the strength that life demands. Let
us see a sample list of how life treats strong and weak
people.
|
Lifes response to the
strong
|
Lifes response to the weak
|
|
People around a person in a
strong position will anticipate what are
his requirements and fulfill them even without his
asking.
|
Even when a person in a weak
position expresses his wishes and demands, they are
not likely to be honored and if honored it will be
very much delayed.
|
|
When a strong person expresses a
wish, he will be normally given more than what he
asks for.
|
When a weak person expresses a
wish, apart from denying his new requirement, his
existing privileges may get cancelled.
|
|
The wrong deeds of strong people
wont be commented upon by others and may not even
be noticed.
|
The slightest misdeed of a weak
person will be turned into a big issue and invite
severe criticism.
|
|
Rules and procedures will be
relaxed for the rich, powerful and influential
people.
|
Rules and procedures will be
very much insisted upon for those in a weak
position.
|
|
When strong people speak out,
they are mostly listened to and counter arguments
will be very rare.
|
Whatever people in weak position
say will be countered and objected to.
|
|
Opportunities for increasing
their income will come to them unasked for.
|
Those in a weak position will
have to go out and seek opportunities for income and
if they dont seek, they wont get any opportunity.
|
|
Parents with marriageable girls
with come on their own offering their
daughters in marriage.
|
The weak person has to go
seeking brides on his own and more often than not he
will be turned down.
|
|
Subordinates will come to meet
him and superiors will give him ready appointment.
|
Since the weak person wont have
any subordinates but only superiors, he will have to
go and meet all his superiors if he wants any
favors.
|
|
Debts to be repaid and things to
be returned and promises to be fulfilled will rarely
be reminded by others.
|
All debts and all things to be
returned and all promises to be fulfilled will be
reminded by others many times over and over again.
|
|
The physically strong and
healthy people will not fall ill very often and so
their medical expenses will be less.
|
Those who are physically weak
will fall a victim to all types of illnesses and so
their medical expenses will be high.
|
|
Even when strong people do
something foolish and silly, nobody will laugh at
them for fear of punishment.
|
When the weak do something
foolish, they will be immediately laughed at.
|
|
The strong do not get
easily punished for their wrong doings by the police
and courts and many times they get away with their
crimes by bribery and suppressing evidence and by
giving false depositions which are taken to be true.
|
The weak invite punishments from
the police and courts even for the slightest misdeed
and even if they are innocent of the crime alleged,
it will be difficult for them to prove their
innocence as their word is not trusted by the police
and courts.
|
Many people are not lucky and dont
enjoy either physical, mental or financial
strength. Such people are very lucky if they hear about
Mother and become her devotees. She will protect their weak
body from falling ill and incurring
medical expenses. She can help them raise their income and
thereby improve their financial position. If they are hauled
up before the police and the courts, She will come to their
rescue and establish the truth on their side if there is any
and help them win justice. (MSS)
Strength that Overcomes the Negative
(topic)
Achievement & the Negative
Individuals as well as society achieve only when the strength is
Organised to contain the mischief of the negative. (MSS)
Lack of Strength and
Tragedy
In Othello Desdemona,
Othello's mate, does not have the emotional strength to break from
Othello who desires her even though she does not feel the same way
towards him. Her capitulation to Othello on this issue eventually leads
to her own death. As a reader of the play we have a hard time believing
that someone so good as Desdemona should end this way, but her tragedy
was in one sense her own doing, caused by her weakness and lack of
strength. (For a more detailed analysis of Othello in this light, please
click here.)
Strength
Strength must accompany
Divine Love. That is why Jesus died on the cross. He lacked the former,
while he offered the world the latter.
Anger vs. Soft Strength
Preventing the expression of one's anger in one moment, and softly
expressing a strength in another are distinctions of power worth
cultivating.
The Character of
Life
vs the Character of the Divine
Life has a
character of its own which simple-minded folk ignore. Meeting with
misfortune, we exclaim, ''I have not done any wrong, why the punishment?"
To succeed in life, it is not enough one has not done any wrong. It is
also necessary to be strong enough to handle the forces of life. Edmond
Dantes had not wronged anyone. He was incapable of it. Still, he was
jailed. When Dantes became a captain at 19 and won the love of the
prettiest girl there, Life demanded he be strong to enjoy them. He did
not have the capacity to suspect his friend and therefore could not
defend himself against betrayal. This is the stamp of Life which I call
character of life. You will be punished for no fault of yours if you are
not resourceful, alert, awake and aware of all that might arise in the
minds of your enemies. It is not enough to be GOOD. One must be
fortified against life by strength as well as cunning. Dantes is a fine
example of this.
What life has not, God has - benevolence. Life could not reward Dantes
for his goodness, but when he was about to die, God gave him Faria, the
priest, and through him knowledge, wealth and prosperity. God in him
gave all this, not Life. (MSS)
Strength and Goodness
Together
(topic)
Goodness Matched by Strength
Goodness should be matched
with (psychological) strength; as strength should be matched with
goodness. One or the other is not enough for great positive effectivity.
There are many good people who lack strength, as there are many strong
people who lack goodness. Jesus' goodness was not matched by strength,
or perhaps we can say power from adversity, so he was crucified.
Strength and Goodness
In Life
Often people with
compassion lack a certain degree of inner strength. Often people of
strength lack compassion. In the future more individuals will have both
of these capacities, enabling more accomplishment and joy for themselves
and the world around them.
A good person trying to do
good things for bad people is usually showing weakness. Bad people often
have strength but are applying it in a wrong way. The good person needs
to add strength to his goodness; the bad person needs to add goodness to
his strength.
Goodness Requires Strength for Success in Life
We see that even
selflessness, self-givingness, and unconditional love cannot stand up to
meanness, cruelty, and brutality when inner strength and toughness is
absent. We should not forget that even Jesus Christ himself, who
represented ultimate Goodness and offered the world unconditional love,
did not have the strength to overcome those who sought to destroy him.
Strength + Goodness =
Great Accomplishment and Joy
Psychological strength is
a prime attribute for success in life. If it can be matched with
goodness, one has acquired a great formula for great accomplishment and
joy.
Goodness with/without Strength & Achievement
Goodness without strength does not achieve. Goodness with
strength never
fails to achieve. (MSS)
Strength in Tandem with Other Attributes
(topic)
To accomplish greatly
strength needs to be tied to other fundamental qualities. For example, a
sports team needs to meld strength with talent, even innovation. A
business needs to meld strength with teamwork, concern for staff,
commitment to the customer, organization, and other high values to
succeed. A project team needs to meld strength of commitment and bond
with skills, organization, motivation, direction, cooperation,
coordination, integration, and other attributes and values. In other
words strength alone doesn't accomplish, but it is a critical foundation
of accomplishment. Without it, little can be accomplished.
Strength and Humility
It is natural to use one's
strength. However when strength accumulates, it is difficult to be
humble. Therefore it can lead to negative and positive outcomes, success
and failure. If one learns to be humble one absorbs strength into
equanimity or equality. Strength thus absorbed will not meet with the
alternative of failure.
Strength, Love, Humility, Surrender
The weak man's obedience out of weakness is submission to the
strong man. It is defeat. When increasing strength seeks to give up its
strength in pursuit of totality through love, it becomes humility of
simplicity. It is [spiritual] surrender. (MSS)
Strength +
Positive Attitudes Needed
Strength AND
positive attitudes together has great effect. Just one of the two isn't
enough to accomplish.
Taking to Higher Values
in Light of Failure that Brings Strength
You may understand the reasons for your failure, but not have the
strength to avoid
them. Adhere to the principles of honesty, patience, fairness, and
righteousness. You will notice that they endow you with the
strength which you
earlier lacked. Practice them until you fully acquire the knowledge and
strength for
unfailing success. You will discover that this is the same process you
used subconsciously as a child to acquire the skill of walking, writing,
speaking, etc. (MSS)
Truth and Strength
Truth gives us a strength. (MSS)
Harmful Strength
(topic)
Harmful
Strength
Strength
can be oblivious, callous, harmful, ego-filled, ignorant, false, evil.
Negative Strength
After all the problems are fully solved, the person who was the
source of all these problems so far now retains the capacity to be a
problem. His own social position of being a man, a husband, one who has
dominated all our life and one who in the society is dominating, remains
psychologically strong. From that
strength issues
offence. Its usual weapon is bluff, falsehood, vanity, dissipation, and
intractable behaviour. (MSS)
Crudeness of Physical Strength
Physical strength
[alone] becomes crude culture.

A corrupt politician rises by his dark
strength of mafia
while an honest politician is readily supported by the abundant honest

Levels of Strength

Physical to Vital Strength

The
strength of the unconditioned body of the primitive man is
enormous, a hundred-fold greater than ours, but it is only the
raw physical energy in very great measure.
-
So also,
the native strength of the vital and the mental is unlimited, or
at least a hundred-fold greater than we now know of. We call it
the fresh energy of the warrior or the thinker.
-
The vital
persuades the body to suspend its own initiatives and accept its
own (vital) wishes. By doing so, the body loses its great brute
strength but is tamed into energetic action energized by the
vital. (MSS)
Physical, Vital, Mental, Spiritual
Strength
Physical strength is that of the body. Vital strength is that of the
will. Mental strength is that of conviction. Spiritual strength is
equality and detachment.

The Strength of the Divine
(topic)
Strength of the
Divine
-God disregarding his strength, following the weak man's
attention is strength at its peak changing into God's compassionate
love. Yoga calls it surrender.
-The moveless Brahman immersed in
Ignorance desiring to remind itself of what it has forgotten and
emerging out of Ignorance, disregards its strength. It becomes
humble. Through humility it tries to restore the knowledge hidden in
Ignorance. It seeks the tool of surrender. Thus, the knowledge
hidden in Ignorance seeks the Brahman who is lost in Matter.
Integral yoga fulfills itself through surrender. (MSS)

Know Thyself in Goodness and Strength
A reader asks if one should go the
extra mile and still be kind to an abusive patient, even if they
curse you for not giving in to their indulgences.
There is a right balance of Goodness
and Strength required in life. Goodness is beneficial to others, but
so is strength. (They also attract benefit back to you when applied
in the right circumstance.)
In a given situation, one cannot
know the answer to such a question since the context is as important
as the question. Yet we can look at ourselves and begin to find the
answer. How? We are a mixture of positive and negative. We are
wanting in certain areas. We can be wanting in certain attitudes,
while positive in others. When we meet the situation, we can measure
it to our nature. If we are one who tends to be weak, we can
practice strength. If we are one who takes, we must learn to give.
Etc. The real issue is not how this particular incident is resolves,
but to know ourselves, discover our weak points, and know in any
future given situation our tendency to express them. We can then
reverse as much as possible, as we are conscious of. Now we will
meet the situation with the right attitude, and we will be growing
in the process. "Know thyself," says the philosopher. All right
action will follow.

Rare Combination of Goodness, Wisdom, and Strength in 'Broken
Trail'
In the sequel to the wonderful US Western TV mini-series 'Open
Road,' the award-winning 'Broken Trail' portrays a character who
demonstrates an unusual combination of elevated human qualities --
including goodness, wisdom, and inner strength. It is rare to see
even one of these qualities in a person, let alone all three. As a
result, he elicits powerful conditions from the world around him.
Set in 1898, the film begins with Prentice "Print" Ritter (Robert
Duvall), an aging cowboy, who wants to buy his own ranch. For this
to happen, he contracts to transport 500 horses from Oregon to
Wyoming, where they will be sold to the British Army. To help him
along, he recruits his estranged nephew Tom Harte (Thomas Haden
Church), whom he also seeks to reconnect with on the ride.
What starts out as a simple horse drive is complicated when the two
men encounter a particularly vile slaver who is transporting five
Chinese girls to a lawless mining town, where they will face a life
of prostitution and indentured servitude. Compelled to do the right
thing, Print and Tom rescue the women and take them in, but as they
continue their perilous trek across the frontier, they are tailed by
a vicious gang of outlaws sent by the whorehouse madam who
originally paid for the girls. In the end, they prevail over these
exceedingly difficult, and life threatening obstacles, and are
further rewarded for their inner and outer efforts by attracting
romance into their lives.
Against this backdrop of events, Print shows many forms of human
goodness. He is kind to the young girls, generous of spirit to
anyone who crosses his path, and is compassionate to those who
suffer or are in need.
And yet he also has a keen understanding of life situations that
enables him to consistently do the right thing. In addition, Print
shows great psychological and physical courage in which he is never
afraid to act in order to do the right thing. It is rare enough to
observe a truly giving and compassionate individual; it is another
to see those qualities matched by profound wisdom and great
psychological strength.
Print Ritter is a rare character, a 'ripe soul,' whom each of us can
learn from. I highly recommend the video.

Strength & Self-givingness Together
Psychological Strength and Self-givingness together are a perfect
combination for ultimate success in any facet of life. It is
extremely rare to have both qualities in one person. Those who do,
tend to have a big impact on the world.

Sympathy Pains
Recently I have been experiencing pains that others
have been telling me about or I have overheard individuals speaking
of within five seconds of hearing it. It is the experience of
Sympathy Pains in the truest sense. Each instance lasts but a
moment, and then passes. To explain the phenomenon would reveal much
about the nature of life.
