Leading A Spiritual Life

16, 1903. This was the first Taj property and the first
Taj hotel. The building overlooks the Arabian Sea.
This is a historical example that tells us a great secret of
life. If you have a sad experience, don't become negative
or react, and don't complain against anyone. Rather re-
plan your course of action on positive lines. Expend
all your energy on constructive activities rather than
complain or protest. And the result will be miraculous:
maybe you will gain in the future more than what you
had lost in the past.

The story of Jamsetji Tata is not a story of luck. It is
the story of positive thinking. It was not accidental luck
that helped Tata. It was his own creative planning that
led to the above result. Tata's success was not a personal
event. It was an example of how one's mind can unfold
its hidden potential at the time of crisis.
It is a law of nature that the quantum of scope is
more than the quantum of failure. No failure can
stop you on your journey, provided you maintain your
positivity. It is your positive thinking that matters and
not the negative experience. If your first plan fails, that
is good news for you. According to the law of nature,
your experience of failure will activate your mind. It will
open up new windows that were until now closed. Your
failure enables you to work in a better way and attain
greater success. Thus, it is a blessing in disguise.

History tells us of many individuals who emerged as
heroes after their failure. Failure simply enabled them
to re-plan their lives, and then to touch new heights
of success. Almost all super-achievers were super-losers
