Accelerate Articles
by Giovanni Dienstmann
“Become a force of nature.”
What it is
To accelerate your growth is to gain more momentum. For that, you need more fuel, more power (shakti, in Sanskrit). You generate this inner power by cultivating three qualities:
- Determination: Having a clear aspiration, intense desire, and strong resolve. It is the wholehearted and non-negotiable commitment to your goals, reaffirmed in the face of every challenge.
- Confidence: The unwavering conviction that you can do this, and that it will happen. This gives you the courage to face your fears, and the willingness to make sacrifices.
- Focus: Concentrating all your energies on a single purpose and avoiding everything else as a distraction. Being highly intentional in your actions, rather than just going through the motions.
Why it matters
It is only when you are full of determination, confidence, and focus that you show up as your best self. Cultivating this inner power will energize you, allowing you to move faster and go further. Without it, you fall into the traps of excuses, doubts, and distractions, and you eventually run out of fuel. With it, you become a force of nature, and nothing will stop you.
