keeping on...

...thinking..about the aim probably gets us somewhere..and helps us achieve the desirable....but it is the art of maintaining the flow which has to be cultivated.
Distractions...the thoughts which keep invading the mind..come in ..and the silly mind flows away with them ending up completely forgetting the aim...and finally when it realizes and wants to come back..it is fatigued, uninterested..and needs further energy and has to start all over again.
From the miniscule experiences...it seems that success lies in continuity of work towards the goal...continuity of thought..even if it is as rough as a cascade in the beginning, it should still flow without getting diverted or drying up...until it becomes a mighty, confident yet placid river...well on it's way to it's destination.
