Note – when you have an intense desire and unshakeable determination, nothing can stop you. First and foremost, you will be guided by your own mind, which is your first Guru. Unless your mind is focused, you can never reach your goal. Here Dhruva is being tested by Sage Narada to see how strong his determination is. Then he gives clear instructions to the little boy and he obeys it.

Our success in life is not a mere coincidence. It is a reflection of our attitude – unshakeable determination, commitment, willingness to learn and the enthusiasm to work till we reach the goal – all these put together will definitely take us to the top!

But remember, only the remembrance of, and surrender to the Lord will purify your thoughts, words and deeds. Such a  life will be filled with a positive energy and contentment.

(Bhagavatham 4.8.25 – 62 )
