Draw up a plan of action and examine the implications of every step. ( Lesson from Sundara Kanda - Ramayana )

Throughout, Hanuman never rushes into action without an action plan for achieving the task ahead and examining its implication(s). This is amply demonstrated in all the tasks which are mentioned above. Throughout, his focus is exclusively on whether the task he does furthers his main objective or not.

Ignore all distractions and learn to say ‘no’.

When Mount Mainaka offers him a resting place with all good intentions, Hanuman politely declines the offer and continues on his journey. However, he gently explains the reasons to the mountain and retains its goodwill. Lesson for all is here indeed! Similarly, when he is searching for Sitadevi in Lanka, he takes in all the sights, like the grandeur of Pushpaka Vimana, Ravana’s palace, the beauty of the women, the aroma of the many dishes in the kitchens and yet allows none of these wonderful things to distract him from his objective.
