work

However persevering and persistent you are, sometimes it is difficult to stick to the job until it is fully done! You mostly work steadily along until of a sudden the feeling of weariness sets-in, shouting "enough!” for the time being, and then yield to the impulse to stop!

You can not be immune from the feeling on certain days – leading to not being at your best! It is usual in such days to miss a few appointments! Lagging interest in almost everything – failing to notice or react to issues at work though they are just routine for the capability you have!

Beauty of the fact is that you realize – at heart that if you continue to exert the will and persistently hold yourself to the business on hand, sooner or later you will warm-up, enthusiasm comes back, shadows of clouds disappear and wings start spreading to fly high, as usual! Is this the rest that mattered or power of the mind – inherent drive of persistence?

If you carefully observe, more often, it was not the rest that triggered the action. It is the impulse of some strong desire that carried you over the threshold of inertia!

Mind is the Master power that moulds and makes, 
And Man is Mind, and evermore he takes
The tool of Thought, and, shaping what he wills,
Brings forth a thousand joys, a thousand ills:—
He thinks in secret, and it comes to pass:
Environment is but his looking-glass.

(~ James Allen)

It is truly the power of mind – desire to perform and be counted!
