True effort brings real success. Usually we seem to put in good effort to achieve our goal. But sometimes we also get caught in blaming others and considering them the cause of our distress and lack of success. This is carelessness which only makes us feel disheartened. Even during the midst of total chaos or difficult situations, we need to remain responsible for every thought, word and action of ours. To act from such an awareness is proof that we are making right efforts and this ensures our success.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
