Set clear objectives from Sundara Kanda - Ramayana

Set clear objectives, express / verbalize them and reinforce them periodically. (Lesson from Sundara Kanda - Ramayana)

Beginning his journey, Hanuman resolves that he will go to Lanka swiftly like Sri Rama’s arrow. If he fails to find Sitadevi there, he will go to heaven and search among the Devas. If he fails there also, then he will bind Ravana and bring him back! By any means he will achieve his task, otherwise, he will uproot the whole of Lanka and bring it back! Can there be a more clear statement of intent? We also find that time and again, when he decides the time of his entry into Lanka while searching for Sitadevi in Ravana’s palace, while deciding to search the Asoka-Vana, while deciding how to address Sitadevi there, before the destruction of the grove, prior to the burning of Lanka, in fact at the start of every major action, or when he feels stuck, he expresses his objectives clearly and repeatedly.
