The Four Ps can help you at office meetings and further your career:
The first P is for Purpose - always know the reason why a meeting is being
held, so you can plan for it.
The second is for Participants. If you know who will be at the meeting, you'll
be better able to define your role at the beginning.
Third is Prepare - know what is expected of you at the meeting.
And the fourth is Participate: "You don't necessarily have to come up with
the most brilliant solution to the problem being discussed; but if you don't
take part, your bosses and co-workers will think you have no ideas." -
Alberto Paz
Keeping passion alive is about courage, the courage to be who you are,
regardless of some of the consequences. Living with passion is about living on
the edge- it's about pushing yourself to grow outside your comfort zone.
Remember the message of the movie Good Will Hunting. All professions are
honourable, but there is no honour in laying bricks if you have the heart of
an artist. There is no honour in a desk job if your heart yearns to roam the
land.
The point is to strive to know your authentic self and then be it! The
outcome: a more passionate and meaningful life.

Laws Of Success
Do you want something? - Will you pay the price?

Start running your own race. Do the things that are most
meaningful to you. Align what you do in your day with
where you want to be at the end of your life. Be guided by
the milestones and goals which will advance you along the
path of your burning desire and your destiny. This is the
way to happiness and personal and spiritual satisfaction. As
I wrote in MegaLiving!, "a character rich with integrity,
courage and discipline is the bedrock of lifelong success."
There are 4 primary pillars or virtues that will liberate your
character power and allow you to live by the blazing
lighthouse of your conscience.
you set unseen forces into play which steadily manifest your
vision into reality.
10.Make a list of the top five benefits you and those around
you will receive from having developed the new quality.
People who create their own luck have certain traits in common.
Here, then, are the secrets for deliberately bringing luck into
your life....
1.BE PROACTIVE.
9. BE A RISK-TAKER.
3. You will feel loved. You will call for and accept divine guidance.
All seems as it should be, even though you may not understand it.
You will feel peaceful about what you see and feel.
5. You will feel connected to everyone. You will sense that anything
that is destructive to one human is destructive to all. This higher
awareness will lead to the conclusion that Mahatma Gandhi came
to: "God has no religion." This awareness will give you a loving
energy that will help bring all of us together.
6. You will make a new agreement with reality. The limits of your
perception will expand to include another world that coexists with
ours. You will know that all of the "powers" that have been ascribed
to spiritual masters are within your capacity to manifest.
9. You will know the power and the ecstasy of silence. Prayer and
meditation will be integral to your life. The answers you seek, the
guidance you need, the assistance you require, will appear as you
practice honoring your true self with moments of silence.
10. You will know that there is a spiritual solution to every problem.
When you are peaceful, experience silence, meditate and listen,
really listen to God, you will be directed away from the worldly and
toward the divinity that is within you. You will know what you need
to do.
11. You will shift from acquiring to sharing. Rather than being
focused on what is in it for you, you will be guided by the inner
desire to help meet the needs of others. You will desire less and yet
feel more fulfilled. You will shift your attention away from yourself
and take pleasure in serving others. You will need less, want less and
find yourself less attracted to acquiring and possessing.
12. You will live authentically. You will no longer have any difficulty
just being yourself. You will be able to say with conviction, "I am
what I am." You will find it easier and easier to listen, without being
defensive because your inner knowing is strong and satisfying. You
will live your life authentically-fulfilling your reason for being here,
knowing that "life gives exams" and learning from those that you
fail to pass.
14. You will be less judgemental and more forgiving. You will begin
seeing that judging others does not define them-it defines you. You
will accept that others are on their own paths. The things you
previously found irritating about them will become a reflection of a
part of yourself. As Carl Jung put it, "Everything that irritates us
about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves."
You will also begin to forgive yourself. You will see mistakes as
lessons for you to transcend. This will free you from the tyranny of
self-recrimination. You have made the decision to be free.
6. Know that the world "out there" reflects your reality "in
here." The people you react to most strongly, whether
with love or hate, are projections of your inner world.
What you most hate is what you most deny in yourself.
What you most love is what you most wish for in
yourself. Use the mirror of relationships to guide your
evolution. The goal is total self-knowledge. When you
achieve that, what you most want will automatically be
there, and what you most dislike will disappear.
Smile.
Be a good listener.

Live Simply
Dale Carnegie said "One of the most tragic things that I know
about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are
all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon
instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our
window today."
The wise sages and pundits who spent their lives in deep
contemplation, searching for life's ultimate purpose have said
time and time again that every minute of life is a blessing.
It's like the story of the young boy who sought enlightenment
from a wise monk who practised pottery making. After many
years of deep contemplation and introspection, the boy was
close to enlightenment. One sunny afternoon, the boy was
holding one of the monk's prized pots, and admiring its beauty
when it slipped from his hand and broke into many tiny pieces.
The boy felt a tremendous sense of loss at the broken pot and
apologized profusely to his teacher. But the monk remained
calm. With a gentle smile the teacher said "You need not be sad
- it is still within me."
The wise monk realized that the true pleasure of the pot came
through the process of creating and shaping it, not in owning the
end product or in the external rewards that it brought him. The
joy was not in the creation, it was in the journey. The joy was
not in the destination but in the path. And this is precisely the
same in your life. To live with deep richness and contentment,
start taking the time to see the simple pleasures that are around
you. Start enjoying the path and stop focusing so much on the
destination. Start living in the moment and noticing that the
beauty of that moonlit sky or the wonder of a rose petal or the
fun that dancing barefoot in the rain offers you. Practice
gratitude and be thankful for life's little wonders. Remember, it
is the simple pleasures allow you to start caring for your spirit.
Those simple pleasures allow you to start taking the time to
nourish the brilliance that lies within you.
Simplifying your life is not hard to do. You just need to have the
courage to carve out some time to do it. You can start to connect
with your highest self through a daily period of silence or a daily
period of peace as I call it in my work. This is nothing more than
fifteen or twenty minutes a day where you stop rushing and
simply start being, connecting to the natural wellspring of
calmness which rests inside of you. Turn off the radio and the
TV and don't answer the phone. And realize that silence
nourishes the soul.
"Simplify your life. Don't waste the years struggling for things
that are unimportant. Don't burden yourself with possessions.
Keep your needs and wants simple and enjoy what you have.
Don't destroy your peace of mind by looking back, worrying
about the past. Live in the present. Simplify!"
© Robin Sharma
It Is Later Than You Think
Enjoy Yourself
It Is Later Than You Think
It isn't the burdens of today that drive men mad. It is the regrets
over yesterday and the fear of tomorrow. Regret and fear are
twin thieves who rob us of today.
So, stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. Instead, climb
more mountains, eat more ice cream, go barefoot more often,
swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more, cry less.
Life must be lived as we go along. The station will come soon
enough.
