Of Wheels and Willpower

 


The Hitopadesha mentions this:

यथा ह्येकेन चक्रेण न रथस्य गतिर्भवेत् ।

एवं पुरुषकारेण विना दैवं न सिध्यति ॥

Yathā hyekena cakreṇa na rathasya gatirbhavet |

evaṃ puruṣakāreṇa vinā daivaṃ na sidhyati ||

Which means that ‘Just as a chariot cannot move forward on a single wheel,

destiny alone cannot fulfill itself without

human endeavor and conscious action.’


Waiting around for life to happen to you is a spectator sport. But the most

extraordinary lives are lived by those who step onto the field. The future is not

a fixed destination that we are marching towards, but a blank canvas

waiting for a brushstroke.

When you align intention and purpose, you stop reacting to

circumstances and start shaping them. 

You become the author of your own story, carving out a legacy

built on your conscious choices.
