How one expands one’s scope of action with confidence and calm under extremely challenging circumstances is what separates the extraordinary from the ordinary, just like Hanuman did. His selfless determination to stay the course with steadfast focus and faith to accomplish his mission makes him a worthy and inspiring protagonist. Here are some invaluable lessons from his life on overcoming obstacles:

Be confident. With unwavering faith in himself, Hanuman jumped across the ocean to find Sita in an unfamiliar land.

Say no to distractions. Absolute focus helped him prioritize his course of action.

Know your rivals. Competing with Surasa would be futile, so he realized that it was wiser to take on a humbler approach.

Are you confident and fearless enough to achieve your goals?

Radiate Confidence is the fifth book in Ramayana: The Game of Life series. A modern retelling of the Sundara Kanda of Valmiki’s epic, this book highlights Hanuman’s devotion and heroics. Replete with lessons on faithfulness, loyalty, self-confidence, self-belief, fearlessness and all the attributes that help counter challenges and find success, the author, Shubha Vilas, illuminates the path to success.
