The Power of Diligent Hands

People can be born in the same neighborhood, brought up in the same environment, exposed to similar circumstances and attend the same schools yet end up so differently. Some become kings, wealthy, happy and successful while others become completely opposite; slaves, poor, unhappy and stillborn. But what brings this difference in life?

In today’s reflections, we explore an idea behind this difference; the power of diligent hand’s.

People who choose to remain focused working diligently with ‘their own hands’ are known kings. They are the rulers and lenders but not slaves and borrowers. Those that work are always the most successful. They make things happen. They create new things. They beat the temptation of associating their predicaments in life to the environment. They have the passion to conquer their own fears and do something worthy with life. Hardworking people have the passion which is the fuel to take action even when there are all signs ‘it’s going to fail.’ They have not time to pause debating within if they should quit. They are persuaded within their heart to follow the persuasion of their heart. Along the way, as they pursue life with all excellence, they attain success. They seek excellence first in life but they get influence in addition. They leave their marks in the memories of people now and when they are gone.

With diligent hands, amazing designs/innovations are created. Diligent hands revive falling businesses. They restore tattered hopes and broken promises. Good works result from diligent and skilled hands. Our becoming successful is the combination of talent first, passion, training and hard work closely following. A mix of them all brings out the exception in us.

Each day, we must be excited to work diligently in whatever our hands find to do. We must be dedicated to our assignments in life. We have to continue doing what we ought to do in order to earn what’s rightly ours. Nothing should come costless. Old age wisdom goes, ‘nothing comes in a silver platter’ and hence nothing came to human beings without their input. Without working, life would be unexciting and tasteless. People wouldn’t need to interact and cooperate. No research would be needed, no trainings would be required and no new, exciting thing would ever appear on the face of earth.

However, people remain poor if they do a little ‘folding of the hands.’ A lazy person ends up as a slave. Lazy people are constantly complaining about a thing or a situation that they can change. They live a life of regrets for lost opportunities. They are in perpetual conflicts with people who hate this evil habit. They waste their time thinking of things that are not, dream of things that can be but lack the passion, zeal and energy to make them happen. Among lazy people impossibilities exist; there is always a resistance to do something. They entertain mediocrity. They remain miserable and die without tasting true success.
