Dedication and Firm belief in Self

If you dedicate and surrender fully to Almighty and have firm determination in yourself you can achieve the difficult task and others will also join in to fulfill that right goal of yours, if you strongly feel inclined to reach it. There is an ancient story about a bird, called titahari. It has long neck and lives near the sea or a river.
Once when titahari has laid her eggs near the sea, she could not find them. She was sure that the sea waves have swallowed them. She did not cry nor did she raised an alarm or complained to anybody.
She was bent upon getting her eggs back from sea and on her own started collecting water in her beak from the sea and throwing it on the dry sand. She was determined to dry the sea and continued doing this. Some other birds saw her doing this, they also joined her and started taking water in their beak and putting it on the dry sand. Seeing their continued efforts and will power, birds from neighboring and far off lands also joined in. Millions of birds gathered from other countries and joined in to show their strength so that they could help titahari to get her eggs back. They wanted to teach a lesson to the sea.
When this news reached the king of birds, Garuda, he marched ahead to face the wrath of sea. He first politely requested the sea to give back titahari’s eggs. But when the sea did not budge an inch, he showed his might to the sea by blowing up his wings big and long and by using it like a fan to dry sea water. With this the sea water started drying and the sea had to bow to the strength and firm dedication of the birds. The sea then returned the titahari’s eggs.
A small bird has so much will power and strong determination that it can win over sea. Why can’t we human learn a lesson that first you should have faith in yourself and with that your firm decision and will power can help you achieve your goal. Do not give up, go on trying, your task will be achieved.
