The topic today is 10 Principles to Develop Determination. Let's think first about the word determination. It has the word terminus in it, and that means, essentially, that one can finish what one starts. If you have ever started to read a book and then found that you only got to the second chapter, or if you had an idea to write in your notebook every day for the year, but you found in your drawer five to seven notebooks that were a quarter filled because you started and then you stopped, then maybe you felt frustrated and thought, 'Why couldn't I finish?'

What to speak of finishing devotional practices, many people take vows and then later on, they give them up. It's practically commonplace. In fact, those who do follow vows stand out because people say, 'How is it they're still doing it?' And Prabhupāda told us, once, "Don't be amazed at who stops following their vows, be amazed at who does, as it's far more extraordinary." Those who do have the determination to continue and at least put together one lifetime in full dedication to Kṛṣṇa are notable.

So, let's talk about some of the principles of determination today. My intention by mentioning these principles is that you can take them with you. Many of them are very practical, and you can enact them yourself, especially if you make a note or listen to this later and go through the ten and find out how you can execute each one of them. I guarantee you'll find an increase in the determination in your life, and maybe other benefits will come from this as well.

As a preface to expressing how to develop determination, I'll start with the precursors—how to prepare the field to enact these ten that I'm going to mention today. And first is...

00:09 – Introduction and importance of determination

05:57– Foundations for determination: making decisions, commitment, and emotional   motivation.

31:59– Principle 1: Work from Your Natural StrengthStart with your innate strengths and work within your capacity.

41:51 – Principle 2: Choose Deliberate Practice Over Luck

44:40– Principle 3:  Identify and Avoid Distractions, Be Intentional

50:36–  Principle 4: Narrow Your Choices

54:30 – Principle 5: Write Your Own Constitution

58:53 – Principle 6: Strengthen the Bonds That Free You

1:03:01 – Principle 7: Create a Personal Values List (truth, service, honesty, etc.).

1:08:00 – Principle 8: Realign Actions Regularly

1:09:30 – Principle 9: Ask: What’s the Best Investment of My Attention Right Now?

1:13:09–  Principle 10: Write a Priorities List

1:17:36 –  Applying the Principles: Tips & Motivation

1:21:23 –  Q&A and Reflections

Independent (Prod. flu god. †)

In this powerful episode of Courageous Leaders Changing the World, Laura Percy shares the extraordinary courage behind her leap from a comfortable life into the uncertain world of property development—while raising two children under two, later walking through deep personal loss, and ultimately building over $100 million in delivered projects. She reveals how nervous system regulation, energetics, and inner capacity have shaped her success more than any spreadsheet ever could, and how desperation—not the market—is the silent killer of most deals. From losing a parent young to navigating heartbreak during pregnancy, to rebuilding her self-trust through chaos, Laura opens up about the inner game that separates those who get stuck doing “one deal in nine years” from those who consistently expand into new levels of leadership, wealth, and legacy. This episode is a profound look at courage, capacity, and creating a life and home that you never had.

ABOUT LAURA PERCEY

Drawing from her experience as a multi-million-dollar property developer, Laura Percey weaves the pursuit of freedom into her holistic, inner-led approach to transformational coaching. She is a bold and conscious leader who bridges high-end development with deep personal evolution, helping visionaries align identity, strategy, and legacy so their outer success reflects their inner truth. As Director and co-founder of Kingbella Group, Laura has led the creation of luxury, wellness-centered developments across Southeast Queensland, known for their architectural intention, sustainability practices, and land-honoring rituals. With freedom as the core of her philosophy, Laura now guides others to build lives and legacies that feel expansive, aligned, and authentically their own.

#Niche

Niche

People like to accumulate. In fact, the whole airline interest industry is supported and based on the reward systems they have. They wouldn't exist today if they didn't have the frequent flyer programs. I saw a documentary about it. They got that idea from an idea that was in America ,circa 1960. I remember it well: it was Blue Chip Stamps. You used to get these little stamps you could paste in a book when you bought things, and once you filled out a certain number of pages, you could trade it in for exciting prizes. Even though the prizes were not that significant, the whole idea gave people this compulsion to collect Blue Chip Stamps.

And the airline industry figured that out—that people seek some reward. So they started this reward system, and it's the only reason they hold it together today. People are compelled, like, "I'm going to fly this airline because I get points, I get miles, and then I could trade it in for an upgrade someday." And when you get on that, a little plastic red carpet you can walk on like, "I'm over here. You guys are over there. You guys are losers."

Puṇya-śravaṇa-kīrtana... even if we have a sense of, "What do I get out of this?" Bhāgavatam says, puṇya-śravaṇa-kīrtana: just by hearing, you are accumulating this spiritual asset that will come to bear someday, that you'll be able to use that. You have to have that asset. It's also mentioned in the Bhagavad-Gītā. Kṛṣṇa says that the human life is meant for daivī sampat, and Prabhupāda gives it in that context that you're collecting it. You should get daivī sampat, or spiritual assets, so that you can be strong and take to spiritual life; otherwise, people fade away.

So, hear, chant, remember, and perform devotional service with the idea that "I'm preparing myself so that I can stand on my own two feet." And that's called niṣṭhā. We come to a point when we have enough spiritual asset that we're no longer pushed around by the lower urges. And that day comes for anyone who sticks to the process of devotional service.

There are two ways to do it. If you chant haphazardly or offensively, then you'll come to the goal someday, but it'll take a long time. But if you become focused and regulated and apply yourself, then the process is very quick. It's described in many places as coming very quickly: 'satāṁ prasaṅgān mama vīrya-saṁvido bhavanti hṛt-karṇa-rasāyanāḥ kathāḥ taj-joṣaṇād āśv.'

Āśu means very quickly. It happens more quickly than you might think, if you stick to the process. But it's always up to Kṛṣṇa. So this is the process given to us by our great ācāryas. And we have all the spiritual necessities and paraphernalia necessary. We just have to apply ourselves.

An observation: the mind can become overwhelmed and think, "Oh, I can never do this," but there is enough encouragement from Kṛṣṇa that, "Yes, you can," and even a little application will have an inordinate result. Therefore, we should be encouraged by Kṛṣṇa's words that whatever we can do, do. A little bit is better than nothing. If we feel that, "I wish I was more advanced," don't worry. Just do what you can now, and more will come as you're able to taste the flavor of The Holy Name and as Kṛṣṇa gives more facility in your life, or as is naturally available because of changes of different periods in your life, you get more opportunity. Just be ready for it to take advantage when it comes. (08:02)

A Little Bit is Better Than Nothing | HG Vaisesika Dasa and HG Nirakula Dasi | UK | 10 Nov 2025

There were days where it felt like nothing was moving.
Days where you gave everything you had…
and still saw nothing change.
Days where the world kept going without you
while you stayed stuck in the same place, putting in work no one notices.

But that’s how it always looks right before the breakthrough.

People only see the results —
they never see the hours you spent alone,
the nights you stayed awake when everyone else was sleeping,
the battles you fought in silence just to become someone better.

Every rep.
Every setback.
Every failure.
Every small win no one cared about.
It all mattered.
It all counted.
It all pushed you closer to the life you’ve been building in the dark.

The grind was never meant to reward you instantly.
It was meant to shape you, to harden you,
to prove that you’re the kind of person
who keeps going even when nothing pays yet.

Keep moving.
Keep working.
Keep believing.
Because one day, the world will call it “luck” —
but you’ll know exactly where it came from.

The grind will pay off.
