3 Chanakya Lessons to Conquer Fear & Achieve Massive Success
Chanakya, the author of great philosophical and political classics such as Chanakya Niti and Arthashastra, was one of the greatest philosophers who lived in India. His teachings have passed the test of time and they have been helping humanity strive through all kinds of life struggles for thousands of years. In this article, we will explore 3 powerful lessons from Chanakya that can help us achieve mastery over fear and attain massive success in life.
1. Chanakya About the Lesson From Lion
“The one excellent thing that can be learned from a lion is that whatever a man intends doing should be done by him with a whole-hearted and strenuous effort.”
When a lion or a cheetah hunts, they lock their targets with intense focus. Even if another prey falls down in front of the lion while he is running, he won’t let go of the target that he has locked. Similarly, we should lock a target in life and close the doors of our eyes, ears and thoughts from all kinds of distractions. If we mix together strong self-belief, clearly defined goals and “whole hearted and strenuous effort” we can achieve anything in this world.
2. Chanakya About Conquering Fear
“As soon as the fear approaches near, attack and destroy it.”
Fear increases like wild fire when we hesitate and doubt. The pathway to conquer fear is to face it wholeheartedly. If you have fear of giving a speech, the best thing that you can do is take a few deep breaths, go up there on the stage and start talking. In the initial few moments, your arms might sweat, heart may beat loudly and legs may shiver. However, it will all reduce as your speech progress.
3.Chanakya About Remembering Impermanence
“Time perfects men as well as destroys them.”
Most people live with the blind and subconscious belief that even though others die, ‘death is not going to come my way.' But every moment the clock is ticking. Each day, while we get ready in the morning, we can look at ourselves in the mirror and ask: “If today is the last day of my life, what would I be doing?” The answer to this question will be the most important and meaningful thing that you should focus on. Then, let go of every other distraction and focus on that most important duty that you should fulfil.
