Endeavors Prior To Succeeding

"Positive thinking dramatically increases your 

chances of success in any endeavor."

Daily Om

If we do not believe we are capable of succeeding, then quite simply, we won't. There is a need to 'try' even if we do not reach completion.  The action of attempting to expand will strengthen our concepts of both inner and outer landscapes.

History reflects accomplishments of scientists, artists, composers, who had made several endeavors prior to succeeding.  The message is clearly, not to give up.  When we hit a wall, we can use new resolve and creativity to be determined to follow through once again.

An artist will paint a beautiful canvas with vivid color and haunting hues.  Details abound as the canvas is complete.  Complete? Is a work of art ever final?  The artist picks up brushes and begins again, painting over what had been earlier created.  Change will not be stimulated unless we apply new applications.
