Be A Dynamo

By Amit Rajeshirke

Chapter I Introduction

This is a story of a great man who wanted to make this world a better place
than it was. I have given a thought to this for you can actually realise the
dreams that you are holding in yourself. This book is about how you can
achieve maximum with what you have in you. There is hope around us that we
may grow to the full potential we hold within us. We all feel terrible within. But
that annoying feeling will lead us nowhere if we don’t learn to channelize into
something creative and magnificent. This book will guide you for the same.

My view towards this world is a bit different. We all see this world
differently. Our actions do have an impact on our overall surroundings
especially the people we come in contact with. We should be constantly
upgrading ourselves and analysing each of our actions. Just take an example of
a submarine. It is always present in the ocean but can’t be seen as it is
underwater. So what we have inside us determines our calibre. Now the point I
am trying to carry over here is we are having dynamos in us that is waiting to
be detonated. Indeed with every moment we are getting near to our death. So
perchance we have an option, let the world take a note of us. Through the
force and power within us we can propel like a rocket upwards. Our
determination to move this world will bring the best out in us. We must march
forward towards our goals daily. We are supposed to generate results and
people hold certain expectations from us. We should be preparing ourselves to
become legendary in our field. We can surely live the life that we want to live.
We are supposed to be storehouse of all the greatness. The universe lies within
us. We have the capability and competence to change this world and make it a
better place to live. For this we first need to have faith in ourselves and
genuine interest in mankind’s upliftment.

To make progress we have to listen to ourselves first. We need to make a

dialogue with ourselves. We must become our own best friend. We must ask
ourselves “Am I doing the right thing”. Sometimes things won’t go the way we
want. But we must not lose sight of our goal. Our approach should be to
constantly better ourselves. Live your today to your best potential. You are a
marvel and an angel seeking to make breakthroughs. We have a right to live
our life with abundance.

You might have reached the downhill of your life. You need to reflect back
and think of what service you can be to humanity. Our major task is to know
the purpose of our life and adhere to it. You can always enrich and improve
your life in many ways. For that your foundation needs to be strong and your
thinking process progressive. Always think which leadership qualities I need to
develop and focus on them. You are supposed to qualify by your own
standards for the test of mankind. First assess your own nature. Become
competent and proficient in a field of your own liking. Chose a vocation that
you will work for even if you don’t receive any compensation for the same.
Getting something done and is an Art and requires mastery. Never take things
for granted for then you will underestimate the importance of doing hard
work. Every task requires concentration and energy until it gets completed.

There are plenty of opportunities to be capitalised upon. This depends

basically on your influence upon other people. You will also need to conserve
your energy at times. You really need to have exceptional co-ordination skills
and great teamwork. Listen to your heart and the inner voice that needs your
attention. As rightly said by Francis of Assisi “Start by doing what’s necessary;
then do what’s possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible”. Reality is
that we have been laying greater emphasis on talking and muttering rather
than actually toiling. We have conditioned ourselves to thinking so trivial and
insignificant that our true potential has remained submerged within ourselves
rather than burst forth. We take pride in showing our lethargy and
unresponsiveness. Our limiting self-beliefs have hampered our paths to
greatness. In order to know your true potential list down your strengths and
weaknesses. Then set a Plan Of Action to maximize or improve on your
strengths. Knowing one’s capabilities sets you in the right direction and on
fitting trajectory. Put a full stop to all your worries for they are not going to
yield anything to you. Conquering your fears will only propel you upwards and
enhance your performance. Carefully plot out your endeavors and then
eventually set out to realize them.

Carry out what you are set out to. Eventually you will gather enough
strength and resilience to become the champion and giant that you want to be.
All can be well if you harbor positivity and become invincible. Ours is a era
where we are expected to do and know too much. Our success lies in how
balanced we are in our approach. Give yourself a break for some time from all
the busy troubles and torments of life and reflect in which direction you are
heading. You need to shatter your own disbeliefs and take a leap in the sky like
an eagle. At times you won’t be able to understand how important your ideas
are. Thus you should think all the time and give your ideas an expression.
Listen and ponder to what is going on in your heart. Think of a better way how
the world is carrying out its transactions and negotiations. You have the ability
to influence this whole planet. Come on ‘o bravo show your mighty wire and
do the impossible. You must develop tactics of your own in order to deal with
the world. Develop your skills for they will give an opportunity to deal with the
people in a better way.

We all have capabilities that are unmatched and diverse. We should make it
a point to do what is within our reach and realize our true potential. Whole of
the world begins with you. The world is the way you perceive it. We will
require a mighty will power to achieve the impossible. We need to be
constructive and valuable in our approach. Our world requires heroes like you,
who can do the impossible and accomplish the extraordinary? We are born
with a certain set of thinking that binds us. We need to take charge of our lives.
It will require a lot of persistence and grit on our side. The truth is we have
become very worldly and sophisticated in our approach. We need to make
time for all our requirements. We all have just 24 hours of a day to accomplish
the tasks we ought to do. Then we have to prioritise our tasks. Our approach
should be cautious. We have to devote all our energies to betterment of
mankind and do what is in the best interest of our nation. Our nation develops
our character. We are an individual who is born with a certain set of
characteristics and attributes. So in order to be super-productive we have to
make ourselves a resource that others can rely upon. We are from the way we
think. In order to change our destiny we ought to change our thinking.

We need to think properly to be able to judge our own path and where we
are heading. Our thoughts are the dominating factor in our life. In order to
accomplish great things we have to develop our intuitive feelings. Challenges
do occur in life but god also gives us wisdom and courage to face them. Only
we can understand and solve our troubles. We can keep a check on our
worries and be happy most of the time. We have to use our time productively
and effectively. We have to cut down our work into much smaller tasks that we
can accomplish easily. We need to feed our mind with positive and assertive
ideas. You will thus become an adorable and captivating person.

We all crave for material things in life. They all cost money. To fulfil our
wishes and desires we crave for more and more wealth. Thus our longing
elevates over a period of time. We start looking for happiness in material
possessions. Thus we are inviting more torment and dissatisfaction in our life.
Thus far we are still solving the riddle that life puts forward. We should be
determined to become something that will make our country proud of us. A
positive and assertive personality is liked by everyone. People love to be in
company of ones who are successful. Either you are living life the way you
want or the way others want you to live. So what determines success? Is it
something that can be measured or quantified? Yes again we can say that
success is an attribute of mind. As Zig Ziglar has famously quoted “We can
achieve whatever in life only if we help enough other people get what they
want. Just as the road on which car is driven never smooth and full of speed
breakers and potholes, same way life is full of troubles and hardships.

So to own your industry you must be willing to put the hard work and
requisites that it demands. You must be focussed on your goals and be willing
to sacrifice small pleasures. The more you help others god will help you. So be
as much kind and generous to others. Life will be rewarding then. So gather
your wits and strengths and set out to conquer glory. Your life will be more
meaningful and soothing then. Challenge yourself to new zeniths and discover
yourself in the process. You have to be at your best and a Titan. Life is too
short to live our troubles. Instead express gratitude for what you have.
 You must practise what you say. You must walk your talk. This is my story. I
took birth in Santacruz, Mumbai. We used to stay in a chawl. I remember every
monsoon we had to sweep water out which would get in the house due to
heavy rains. We stayed there till I was in the 5th Standard.

I remember I had two friends who would always had 1st rank in school. I used
to enjoy game of cricket with them. I was not so studious then and would be
amongst the last rank holders. Then we shifted our residence to an apartment
in Mira Road, Mumbai. Here I developed new friends. My new school name
was Shantinagar High School. My Science and English Teacher’s were simply
remarkable and noteworthy. They were world-class in their profession. They
still inspire me a lot. I secured distinction in my Final Board Exam. I pursued
Commerce stream in a college which was in our vicinity.

Later we shifted to Borivali. I cleared my graduation with a First Class. I also

pursued Computer Hardware and Networking which was my passion then. I
also completed my Business Master’s Degree. I did various Contractual Jobs in
banks. A job which was very interesting came my way. Here I had to take an
appointment for Citibank Loan verification purpose. I loved it as it involved me
meeting new businessmen and would also earn incentives. I am also very tech-
savvy. I worked in ICICI Bank as a sales representative. Meanwhile I also
worked as an Insurance salesman. I had to give up after 3 months as my
mother was against me working only on Commission basis. Then I took a job in
my Father’s company. He had worked a major part of his life for this company.
It was fun as this job did not exert any target pressure and was a cool backend
job. My life craved for romance. Also my determination to become an
Entrepreneur grew even more. I still read each month’s Reader’s Digest issue. I
have attended a lot of workshops and seminars in my life which also included
Entrepreneurship Development which made me leave a well-settled job in my
father’s company.

I have always cherished the vision of Mr. Narayana Murthy whose

leadership is flawless. He has built a multi-million dollar IT company from
scratch. His company Infosys is the 2nd largest software developer and exporter
in our country. I have suffered a lot of setbacks in my life. I just couldn’t stay
with a company for too long and thus hopped jobs frequently. Reading has
always been my passion and pastime. It did gain me respect amongst my
colleagues. Occasionally I would indulge myself in movies. I love to eat in
restaurants. My father and mother have raised me with utmost lover and care.
What I have become today are their efforts. They are my biggest supporters
and fans. My younger sibling and my sister have been very successful
academically and professionally. I honestly feel she is much more rational and
free-thinker than me.

I feel that we Indians should dominate the world. We are a developing

economy & should move towards being a superpower. Here is an inspirational
story. My aunt is truly valiant, courageous and bold. She has got 2 daughters,
the younger one being mentally retarded. She raised both my cousins solely.
The elder one completed her studies and is in a high paying job and well-
settled. My aunt has got two properties in the suburbs of Mumbai. She has
contracted diabetes. She has sheltered my uncle who is hearing impaired and
dumb also. She has faced all these adversities in life with great fortitude. She
never looked depressed, downhearted or dejected. She has always been
optimistic inspite of these disruptions & turmoil. She is an epitome of
prosperity. Her loving and caring for us is as deep as the waters in the ocean.
This inspite of her being a woman.

My parents came from a very modest background. My grandfather brought

my father from village when he was in fourth standard to Mumbai. He used to
stay in just one room in a small chawl with a gutter flowing just outside the
house. My father used to have his food at my aunt’s house who used to stay
just nearby. He completed his college by working part time. He joined
Hindustan Pencils when I was born and continued with it for almost 28 years.

My mother was an excellent cook. She looked after us very well. She used
to take tuitions from home. My sister pursued Company Secretary and also
completed her Masters in Business Administration. She has got a terrific
academic record and pursued very high levels of education. When I worked at
my father’s company, in order to be an entrepreneur for more than a month I
just kept looking for rental premises. During this period, daily I could
accomplish only one task and that was to trade in shares & stocks on my home
computer. I had a demat account for more than 2 years but could not operate
it.
 When I was in school I used to enjoy a lot of cricket with my companions.
Our science teacher Ms. Belinda was an excellent tutor. She used to take a lot
of interest in instructing. She was stern & rigid but that brought discipline in
use. I thing “The Autobiography of Lee Iaccoca brought about a lot of positive
change in me. The reaching of it was the turning point in my life. Earlier 4-5
years I was just doing back-office operation jobs. But this impresario made me
realize that even sales can be a rewarding career. I became confident in
dealing with people & my outlook towards work changed completely which I
started loving a lot more. I also began reading each month’s Readers Digest
issue. While in college I used to play table-tennis a lot. I even participated in
Inter-Collegiate table-tennis tournaments. This was when I also developed
Krishna-Consciousness. I read a lot of books over the same. The pocket edition
for ‘Bhagavad-Gita As It Is’ remains a prized possession with me. My school life
and work life had a dearth of girlfriends. I never ever befriended anyone from
the opposite sex. I admit that I have an inferiority complex towards the
opposite sex.

While in college I performed very well in the first year. But then I used to
watch television a lot. This weakened my eyesight & I had a very dim vision. I
was literally in tears during my 12th standard exams. I just could not study
anything during that month of exams. Still I managed to pass them with First
Class. Later due to my continuous & elongated periods in the college
gymnasium my interest in studies plummeted. I went into depression & had to
take treatment from a Psychiatrist. I was kept on continuous medication for 2
years & had to meet him every 3-4 months. The power of my brain had
reduced considerably. I failed SYBCOM exams due to stress fatigue and peer
pressure. Somehow I managed to clear my Final exams with a first class.

Well, I have learnt a lot of study techniques especially through books. The
technique which has been very useful to me is the division of time period into
45 minute sessions, followed by a break of 15 minutes. You must keep hard &
tedious subject topics in the beginning for study. The easier & less complex
subjects can be studied towards the later part of the day. During the break
period of 15 minutes one can do house chores or chant the name of God. This
technique has helped me immensely with my studies.
 I joined Max New York Life as Agent Advisor. Well this was my second
chance to prove myself as an insurance sales man. Here I had to match
strengths with other salesmen who were far more superior in their thinking
and actions then what I was. My job mostly consisted of meeting new people
and explaining them the importance of financial planning. I got a mentor in the
form of Mr. Vijay Wadagbalkar who guided me through rough and tumultuous
situation. I had to convince people to buy life insurance from me. The training
workshops I attended helped me a lot in selling. I had a clear goal in my mind
and that was to be a rising entrepreneur.

The contribution of my village has been tremendous & massive to

whatever I have become in life. Although I have been born & brought up in
Mumbai, I would like to cite an example from my village life. My ancestors
belong to a village known as Kudap in Ratnagiri District, which is some 40
minutes drive from Chiplun. The alphanso mangoes planted by my grandfather
Shri Bajirao Rajeshirke are very sweet and sugary. The rice produced in our
village is in abundance. We also have trees of jackfruit, cashew etc.

My prospecting included visit to trade shows and exhibitions. The

exhibitions held at Goregaon, NSE grounds were simply stupendous and on
international level. I did not achieve any business success from this grand
event initially but they enhanced my knowledge to a great extent. You get vital
lessons in marketing at such occasions. Well New York life exited its business in
Asia & Max India tied with Mitsui Sumitomo of Japan for its Life Insurance
business holding the former name. Mr. Analjit Singh chairman of Max India
decided to exit its polyphrene business.

I attended a Global Konkan Mahotsav at Bandra-Kurla Complex in Mumbai. It

was its second year and myriad exhibits & stalls were being put for display. It
had a Udyojak Parishad ie. Meeting of entrepreneurs to discuss business
growth in Konkan. Distinguished guests included Rajendra Sawant and Ajit
Marathe of Nirman Group, Mr. Dandekar of Camlin, Mr. Atul Rajoli of
Born2Win, Disha Direct Chairman Mr. Uttekar of Udyog Mission, Mr Nitin
Sardesai producer of films like Raja Shiv Chattrapati & Ajanta etc. We had a
lunch in the afternoon. What makes Global Konkan Mahotsav a delight was its
zeal, excitement & effervescence. The exhibition was for 4 days ie. From 12th
April 2012 to 16th April 2012.
 The PGDBA Course was very competent as it included movie learning
sessions and trips to industrial units. I also collected my Diploma in Financial
Management certificate. There I met Mr. Sachin Kamath who had also come to
collect his certificate. He is the co-founder of SCF management institute which
imparts business training.

Meanwhile my investments in stocks continued which demanded

substantial amount of brokerage. In order to get receive you need to give first.
We need to stand by ‘Giver is Achiever’ principle. Rather than maintaining a
‘Go-Getter’ outlook we need to maintain a ‘Go-Giver’ perspective. If you give
your finest to the world, you will get the best. There are thousands waiting for
the right opportunity to arrive while ample opportunities are passing directly
under our nose. These favourable chances are more than you can avail or grab.
Go-Giver makes you a person of greater value & Go-Getter makes you clutch
the initiative.

Well Brahmavidya has taught me a lot. It is a science of breathing and

respiration. It removes negativity and respiration. It removes negativity from
you and nurture positivity. It helps you to appreciate life and be ecstatic. It
incorporates cosmic thinking in you.

I had attended Atul Rajoli a motivational speaker’s book launch. The book’s
label read ‘Maza Motivator Mitra’ which was published in Marathi. The bulletin
included performances by kids and youngster’s. The priviledged guest of
honour included Mr. Nitin Potdar, a veteran Corporate lawyer & Mr. Uday
Nirgudkar of Zee 24 Taas. The book was ceremoniously inducted by the Autul’s
Father ie. Mr. Arun Rajoli & by Mr. Amey Amre. The auditorium had some
3000 odd vistors. The disciples of Atul’s Future Paathsahala performed a
stupendous Shadow dance. Atul’s guru Mr. David Lincoln’s presence was also
illuminating. Maintaining human realations has always been a stumbling block
for me. So next chapter I have devoted to this facet of life. I hope you have
enjoyed this book so far.
 Chapter II: On People
Of all the great men till today almost 85% of them were successful because
of how they treated people. This include Abraham Lincoln, Mahatma Gandhi,
Shivaji Maharaj, Napolean Bonaparte, Benjamin Franklin etc.

So I think there is a remarkable book by the name “ How to win Friends

and influence people” written by the glorious author Dale Carnegie which we
should tread upon. It is lovely masterpiece on maintaining human relations.

In any organization your employees are the most important asset that you
have. You might have the most extraordinary and remarkable service or
product in the trade but it is futile if your employees or craftsmen and artisans
cannot put to advantage your strong points and are inept.

What I find captivating is people’s belief in God. There trust & faith in a
effigy or statue is more than being vice-versa i.e. belief in self should exceed
anything exterior. I am not against idol worship or any sacred institution. What
I would like to cite here is people have forgotten that a human being is a living
hallmark of divinity as urged by Pai Maharaj who passed on recently.

Indeed our most revered Sadguru has given us a alternative in the form of
‘Sun God’. The Sun is at the zenith in our solar system. Sun provides us with
light heat and vegetation. The climatic changes on our earth also relies upon
sum. The rainfall that we anticipate so much has Sun as its begetter. The
question is can life support itself if it was not to rise in the blue hault of
heaven.

While selling ‘Life Insurance’ you have to be very vigilant and have to keep
all blunders towards clients to bare minimum. How many years have passed
since Indian Citizens are termed as liberated from the British empire. But still
we reel under the conundrum of huge populace, mass poverty,
unemployment, hereditary lineage, illiteracy and ignorance. Inflation has
hampered the economy more than what progress it can make through science
and technology.

Everytime I see masses spending time idle; I say to myself how much our
mankind can gain if this idle time is spent for some fruitful & productive
purpose. There is a lot to learn from some of the greater scientists of the world
ie. Sir Thomas Alva Edison, Sir Isaac Newton, Sir Albert Einstein etc who would
spend hours at end in laboraties having just 3-4 hours of sleep at night. They
have contributed immensely to the progress of human race.

How do people gain an insight into cosmic intelligence. Firstly they have to
be deeply spiritual i.e. Believer in the doctrines of Lord Jesus Christ, Saint
Jnyaneshwar Maharaj, Lord Gautam Buddha etc. Secondly they will have to use
their specialization in the area of their liking. One has to be carefully and not
overindulge in anything to maintain a healthy work-leisure balance.

Can there be any better than human life. Courage has to mustered to give
people the vigor and robustness to execute their assignment. If god wanted us
to occupy ourselves with work complete by he would have catered us with 10
hands instead of two. God made man and women so that life withstands itself
on this globe. Certified Financial Planners are those rank and file people who
oversee your portfolio. Their forte is to guide and advise people on various
types of investments options. Is there anything above a family’s financial
security, self-respect and dignity.

Death is a very inevitable situation. We see deaths occurring around us. It

could be of our relatives friends or colleagues. Death of a person can be due to
natural reasons like old age or disease of due to an accident. My profession of
selling life insurance consisted of securing families against this disaster. The
day a person is born, his death is written in his destiny. It never comes with a
warming. Nobody knows when death can take its toll on us. We have to do all
our tasks keeping in mind that we are going to die one day. There is a very
beautiful verse in the Bhagvath Gita wherein Lord Krishna takes away fear of
death from grief stricken Arjuna by a counsel which goes – “One who has taken
his birth is sure to die after death one is sure to take birth again. Therefore in
the unavoidable discharge of yourduty, you should not lament” (2.27).

Great sportspersons like Sachin Tendulkar, Roger Federrer, Michael

Phelps, Ussain Bold, Pele have created history by showing terrific passion &
determination for Cricket Tennis. Swimming, Running & Football respectively.
Great businessmen like Dhirubhai Ambani, Ratan Tata, Narayana Murthy as far
as India is concerned. Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Sir Richard Branson on
international front have created massive empires for themselves. All these
men had burning desire in them to succeed. They have given more to this
world then what they have got.
 Chapter 3 Training

Nowadays, Training seems to be the buzzword in all corporates. I myself

as a Life Insurance advisor had to undergo a lot of training in Max Life
Company. Training imparts a awareness of purpose in life. Training helps you
to be broad minded. Just as a land cultivated & to have a nice harvest of crop
you need to have quality seeds; in the same way, training nourishes your
thought energy and puts you on the path to prosperity.

What made Dale Carnegie on of the greatest trainer on this planet. It was
his sheer ability to motivate people and inspire them to improve their self-
worth. Recently I attended a Basic Course on Insurance. It is conducted by a
organization called “Indian Institute Of Excelellence”. The speakers were Mr.
Mukesh Josi and Mr. Hanumant Dhamal. Both of them offered vital insights on
Life Insurance. The lunch offered was very delicious alongwith breakfast and
tea snacks. Just as we need to bathe every day in order to be fresh, same way
we need to be motivated daily so as to perform to our best.

Why do our parents send us to school. Why do they choose the best
coaching class for us. Why do they want us to study in the best college or
university. Why do they want us to study in the best college or university. Why
do they want to see me getting the best of education. Why do our teacher take
so much trouble to ensure whether we have understood the subject matter.
This is so that we become a respectable citizen of this nation.

There are plenty of workshops going in Mumbai. I have attended a training

program on how to run your business successfully conducted through SCF
Management Institute. The speaker who is also a partner in the company Mr.
Snehal Kamble is an excellent trainer. The program docket consisted of 6
sessions. The cream of the program is the strategy sheet which allowed a
thorough analysis of your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.
The fellow participants were class entrepreneurs and I could get business at
their networking meeting.

This programs induce a sense of self-discipline in us. They have received a

lot of popularity across the world. They iterate you to read positive,
motivational and self-help books. Also they emphasize upon increasing the
productivity of your organizations. Great speakers have a unique quality that
they are humourous and induce you to laugh.

Nowadays we have training programs conducted online as well. You just

have to register for them and can pay through your credit or debit card. These
training programs lay stress on planning be it on daily, weekly or monthly
basis. Adequate planning helps you achieve results which is the primary leads
to self-improvement Training helps you to perform at your best. Training
initiates your thought making process. Training helps you to plan and organize
your time effectively. Who doesn’t require a trainer, Sachin Tendulkar has
Ramakant Achrekar, Arjuna had Guru Dronacharya etc.

Isn’t it worthwhile to contemplate that what would have been our

position had not our teachers taught us. We would still have remained a child
with unable to read, write or speak. We would have found it difficult to obtain
our food and there would have been no disparity between us and a stone-age
man. Various advertisements related to workshops, seminars and courses
appear in daily newspapes everyday. The introductory lectures are free but the
courses when underwent are charged fees.

I think organizations giving importance to training of their employees

would survive in the long run and be profitable. Training sharpens our minds
and builds the right kind of confidence in us.
 Chapter IV Team Work

“What I can’t do, We can do”. This one liner inspires me a lot. It resembles
the core purpose of why we should be working as a team. When you are
working as a team your’s as well as that of other’s productivity increases
manifold. No man can work upon his own ie. Without the support of other
people. Sports like cricket, football, hockey, baseball etc are befitting examples
of performing as a team not only yours but the goals set as a team matters
most.

Give me one instance when working as a team has failed. Big Big
monuments are built only because of team work. I don’t think man would have
had made so much of progress had he not imbibed the spirit of team-work in
him. Working as a team help us develop our unique selling ability. You must
contribute to your organisation’s success. You must be a good listening
member who values inputs from other collegues. You must learn to grow as a
team. Perhaps you will be able to accomplish more as a team rather than
individually. Your organization will appreciate if you are a team player. We
human beings need help of each other. We need to keep each other’s benefits
in mind. You will be able to achieve your goals, if you help others achieve their
goals.

I truly believe in the power of Team. The bond that is created as a team is
truly priceless. Constantly engaging people gives outstanding results. We need
to keep faith in our personnel. There is a spark in every individual that needs to
be ignited. People are the most important asset that you hold. You need to
retain and grow talent. This has to be done on daily basis. Teams are the
foundations of any worthwhile success that can be achieved. We must believe
in our own people first. Taking any Team Member in confidence makes you a
more likable person.

With great Team work comes great results. Great companies are run by
great men actually. A Team has to be led by a great dream and a vision.
Essentially in any sport team work is quite crucial. It is make or break for any
winning. You can convert failure into success through great Team Work. That’s
why your role as a team player is equally important. You can surely accomplish
more with the 10 hands that join you. It keeps your spirits high. Challenges are
faced squarely. It quadruples your learning ability.

Actually it is your task to build your team’s morale through healthy

discussion. Working as a team is like obliging to the rule of master mind. You
remember your team members for a long long time. They are the ones who
have laid you on the track that you are right now. Get sculptures & monuments
of this world would’nt have been possible without great team work. Through
team work you strengthen the bond you hold with other human beings.

Making yourself available for your team members is the greatest gift you
might give them. You must study the nature of your team members properly .
Go that extra mile when asked for one. Have you taken a moment to
determine a correct direction for your team. Team work takes organizations to
even greater heights. Each and every team member contributes his best to
achieve the organizational goals.

The whole universe revolves around how we perform as a team. Team work
makes us perform at our best. So focus on better team work. The smiles on our
team members created happiness in our hearts. Surely your working as a team
will give you true satisfaction. Our teams determine the way we think to
certain extent. We make ourselves better through our team work. Certainly it
gives our thinking a new dimension. It is indeed a great pleasure to have a
great team onboard. The goals which seemed impossible to achieve at first can
be easily achieved through teamwork. We are humans with natural feelings. So
when we come into contact with other humans our emotions are aroused. We
are indebted to each other for our success.

Our help and support to each other makes us more valuable to our
organizations. We are human beings and we need each others company. We
crave for recognition. We act for we desire something in reward. Through
mutual agreement we accomplish what we have set out to do. Everybody likes
to work in a harmonious way. We have to show compassion towards other
human beings. Indeed team work is a blessing in disguise. Everyone has
contributed to your success. You have received support of other individuals all
along the way. Any beautiful thing we do is pray to almighty. Then we give
attitude to the people who helped us all along the way.
 We also got a bit wise. When we interact with each other our thoughts and
ideas multiply. In a way we are dependent on other human beings a lot. It
really makes our path a lot easier. We need to seek out the purpose as to why
god has sent us on this planet. We must be kind & supportive to other
individuals. Clearly help others when they are in dire need. Our focus should be
on people and their strengths. Together we can make this planet a better place
to live. We are a eco-system and this earth belongs to all of us. Our actions
today will bore fruits tomorrow. We have to show some kind of responsibility
and share our joy’s and sorrow’s with other’s. This will help us bond with other
individuals. In order to make progress we need to match our point of view with
that of others. Mind me the tougher the problem the easier the solution is.
Man is at the apex of our eco-system. Animals don’t have emotions or words
to convey to each other. We are gifted in a way that no other species on this
planet has. We have to respect nature and understand its powers in order to
harness it properly. Nature has given man everything that he requires.

I love each and every human being. Simply we are unique not only on this
planet but in the whole universe. I can manage to say this for till today only our
presence in confirmed in the whole universe. We can get the best if we give
our best. There is lot that can be spoken about our world. Your co-operation
and help can be of utmost importance. We have to make ourselves resourceful
and productive. A true gentleman is one who knows how to deal with other
people with respect and dignity. Thus everything just smoothens up and begins
to assist us in our approach. We can just let things slip away from our hands
and brood on our state. Or we can pick ourselves up and walk on the path of
greatness.

Aren’t we responsible for our actions? Today is the day that we are having
and need to live it to our fullest. Thus we can be a force to be reckoned about.
Sometimes things go the way we want them to go. Sometimes things are
completely out of our control. We simply have to observe and let things pas
away. Our world has become more and more advanced. We must discover the
purpose in our life. We have to devote more time to ourselves. Our day needs
to be carefully analysed. One has to be very positive-minded while living. There
will be hiccups, but in the end your determination and vigour will count. Each
day is a blessing. Live it to maximum. Be judgemental in your approack and not
cynical. Life is beautiful after all. Believe me or not, life will always throw
awkward challenges to you. Get up and build your noble dream. You must
decide what life to live and on what terms. Is there anything better than you
can do. Rest assured you are on a great path.

Why to live the way the other’s want us to live. Why to waste our life in
pursuit of realizing other person’s dreams. Instead why not charge in our own
way and lead the world in a right direction. Thus we would be remembered for
the ages to come. We would be treating ourselves with dignity. Thus this world
would benefit from our wisdom and experience. Indeed what amenities we
have are because of the country we live in. We need to change our outlook
and become more friendlier to mother nature. Currently as I am writing this
book Wildlife Week is celebrated in National Park near the residence where I
stay. Indeed we get to understand so many aspects of nature and how man
can benefit from it.

Animals have a unique way of living their lives. They have to just gather
their food which is available in the nature. So land, trees, animals, birds, insects
and river all together form a forest. This we have to understand as to how each
of them play an active part in maintaining the ecological balance I the
environment.
 Chapter 5: Nature

Learn new things in life. It helps you grow your brain. We depend on nature for
so many of our requirements. Nature is our true mother. We must stop using
chemical substances and use all natural products. Our toothpastes, soaps,
shaving creams all are made of chemicals. Why to use them when Mother
Nature has gifted us with so many things in abundance. All natural things can
be reused and reprocessed. We have to pass on this world to the next
generation. Man is a product of the nature. We are bound to the Laws of the
Nature.

We need to take frequent walks in nature. It rejuvenates our mind and also
makes us happy. It enhances our well being. Our body is functioning on its own
instinct. We are not running it. To take care of it is our responsibility. Thus far
our well being was dependent on almighty. But we can take keep ourselves
fully fit and happy. We just need to eat green food and exercise. Nature gives
us everything. We owe our existence to Mother Nature. Nature basically
comprises of Sun, Land, Air, Water and all the natural bodies like rivers,
mountains, oceans etc.

We Indians worship Mother Nature. The cycles of nature were observed by

our ancestors and thus various festivals were conceptualized. India is a land of
many festivals. Each part of India has its indigenous culture and language. Our
country has one of the most ancient cultures on this planet. Each and every
festival is linked to the change in nature and thus becomes a part of
celebration. In order to become a superpower India needs to utilize its natural
resources to it fullest. I consider myself fortunate having taken birth such a
great country with so great people. I really like to breathe the air of this
magnificent country find its soil very sacred and holy.

I believe in the ancient science of Ayurveda that has its origin in our
country. It is really a boon to the whole of humanity. You cure the diseases
natural way through Ayurveda. Really the world owes so much to the ancient
wisdom of India. We should truly feel proud of our country and its heritage.
We should be united for a cause and that is to make this country a
superpower. To be a nation which is very ahead of all other countries. It is one
of the largest democracies on this planet.
 You have to muster all the energies within to achieve the goals that you set
for yourself. Goal-Setting is a very marvelous thing. As you set and achieve
goals you start believing in yourself. Either you are your best friend or the
greatest enemy. Thus know thyself very well. Don’t give up so easily on
yourself. Today is what you have to accomplish what has not been
accomplished.

The world has changed so much. We think that we are helpless human
beings. Our will determine how far we go. We have so much energy and
stamina in us that we can accomplish just about anything. We have been so
timid in our thinking that we don’t let ourselves grow to our full potential. We
have been gifted with intelligence that other animals are not. Sure we have
progressed a lot with that acumen and still wile explore a lot about this
universe. Can we remove out of this world? Would we be able to live in eternal
bliss? Can there be anything more fascinating and distinctive other than
human life.

Do we bother to observe our surroundings? Do we see things in their true

nature? Are we using the natural resources to their fullest extent? Our time is
limited on this planet. We have to use it in very effective manner. Think like a
giant and you will be one day. There is lot that can be done in order to improve
the world. You are a hero that no will forget. You just have to think rationally
and give your best. People will wonder as how such a human being can exist?
That is their problem. We always knew that challenges have to be faced
squarely. Listen to your heart. Success is purely dependant on your mindset.
You can accomplish whatever you wish to. Remember before you give up try
one more time. Always there is a possibility that you might not have thought
about.

Giving up is easy but persisting is difficult. We are the best judge of

ourselves. This world requires our services. Are we ready to provide them? Are
we using the talents given to us by almighty? Why wait till tomorrow that you
can do today? Try and do the assignment in a better way that you are handling.
There is no substitute for hard work. We all do what we like. We don’t want to
act as others want us to do. What our hearts say is always correct and we must
always do the same. We must get rid of what bothers us. Ups and downs are a
part and parcel of our life. Our own determination is what matters how far we
go in life. We are spiritual human beings living on earth. We grow together.
Our existence depends on the environment we live in.

We all have dreams and aspirations. That is why “Why current position is
not my final destination” hold true every moment. We have to make sure that
we remain in good shape. We must stay physically and mentally fit. We must
begin our day with very positive thoughts and enthusiasm. In case we love our
environment and surroundings we must plant at least one tree every day. This
will help keep our weather in great condition. It will help spread greenery
which in turn will give out pure air and oxygen. Trees help soil retain water.
Ours is a sub-tropical climate and our forests are mostly deciduous. Remember
to keep your environment clean and green.

You must understand yourself and what your needs are. We are overloaded
with worries that lead to nothing. Our concern should be as to where our focus
is? Are we doing enough so that the society benefits from our potential? What
are we doing so that tomorrow might be a better day than today? Are we
serving the society so that the we are remembered for our contribution
towards betterment of the society?

Is our belief system strong enough? Do we constantly keep feeding

ourselves with positive thoughts? Do we live our today the way we did
yesterday or may the one previous. Is there any way that we ought to change
our thinking and our destiny thereby? Are we truly living our life the way we
want it to be. Our body is a storehouse of energy. We have constantly exercise
our willpower muscle in order to get the maximum out of ourselves. There is
absolutely nothing that is beyond our limits. Our body demands our
continuous attention. We need to rest it often. The stress and fatigue of our
work life simply kills us. We die everyday living a miserable life.

Here I would like to mention that planning our days, weeks and months in
advance is absolutely crucial. Planning helps us to save our time while
executing tasks that can be used for some other constructive work. We need a
continuous improvement program for ourselves. We need to develop our
mental and physical abilities. Come what may we must not rest till our goals
are achieved. Money is something that we desire to earn every time but our
critical time is spent running after money which is not going to come back. So
we remain troubled the rest of our lives. Our perspective towards our life
needs to change. We need to take our priorities seriously. We are important
for this planet and our role is quite significant. We can enhance the lives of
others by setting an apt example.

We were born to win and leave a mark on this world. We need to take
each day as it comes. Live it to the fullest moment by moment. For this we also
need to refuel ourselves. Even a simple walk in greenery or forest can be very
stimulating stress relieving. We need to develop our competencies. Thus we
would be able to identify what makes us so unique. How are we going to shape
out our world. It all depends on the way we think and perceive things. Out
physical pain can be overcome. We can strive to become a better human
being. It is our decision to remain in peak health and enjoy life.

Different people have different perspectives about life. Some never try to
improve themselves and happy with what they possess. Some literally strive
their every bit to count on every moment. They are eventually counted as
successful and are followed by others. But what makes these individuals so
unparalleled and unmatched. Our can we master those successful habits that
will atleast make us live with dignity if not like in heaven.

We need to develop our own style. Our own judgment should be guiding us.
We need to develop our abilities and skills. What we can do with the resources
that we have. We have to keep pumping our energy and reminding ourselves
that “I feel happy, I feel healthy, I feel terrific”. We must be improving and
progressing each day. Our days are counted on this planet. We are slowly
nearing our own end. So how should we approaching the limited life that we
have got on this planet.

First we need to determine our purpose or what are we out there to

achieve. We have to take some steps in that direction. We must focus on daily
progress. Nobody can help us except ourselves. We have to be determined to
achieve what we have set out to. In order to make ourselves valuable we
should be of some use and service to the society. We ought to learn from
every mistake of ours. Try to do a good deed today. Help others with what they
are trying to achieve. Learn something new today. Do you know what is going
to happen tomorrow? Then why worry for it today. Why not live in the now?
We must always live our today as if it is our last. After all we are sculptors of
our own destiny. You need to understand your true potential. You must not be
afraid of failures. Instead failures should be treated as milestones to success.

Road to success is never easy. It has got ups and downs. Sometimes you will
think of quitting for it will only mean no more pain. We need to maintain our
balance of mind and temper. The world will only try to pull you back. For
everybody has got their own selfish motives. We have to ignore the naysayers
and carve our own path. The world changes when we change. Our life is
nothing but a series of events. Everything happens to teach us something. So
that we become a better human being. We need to continuously put in efforts.

Who do you hold responsible for the situation that you are in? Nobody
should be blamed except yourself for the apathy that you are facing. What
support do you require to live the kind of life that your desire. Is there any
specific skill or ability that only you possess and nobody else does. Are we
enjoying our life to the extent it should be. Or are we giving away to stress and
pressures of life. How do we know our own true self image? How do you
change yourself? I mean how you can become a positive thinker in case you
have habit of thinking negatively. We need to make our minds our best friends.
We should be using our time constructively. Time is the most valuable resource
we are holding. That person will be the most efficient who is able to use his
time properly.

Can we create our own destiny? Yes with accurate thinking and proper
planning we can carve out the lives that we want. We should be able to
manage our own lives. Make yourself resourceful. Give yourself the chance
that will create abundance in your life. Always think in terms of improvements.
You must first believe in yourself. Always be in the right. Nothing should
between you and your goals. Live with an undying spirit that will motivate and
inspire others too. You got to start with yourself. First you need to change
yourself. Life is full of trouble for those who don’t believe in themselves. Make
yourself of some service to the society. Leave a mark on this universe.

God has gifted us all the great abilities. We have been gifted with strength,
intelligence, personality which no other living creature has been gifted with
perhaps. The creator truly wanted us to perform better as individuals. Our
thinking affects our behavior. Our emotional turmoil makes us despondent.
We soon start to lose our greatness for our behavior gets affected by other
individuals. We chose to live a cocooned life that limits our potential. How can
we measure our greatness? Well is it possible to measure the temperature
within sun’s core. That much greatness we have within ourselves. We see
ourselves utterly useless and inferior. We are so concerned about our sorry
state that we have stopped laughing at ourselves.

We live in a constant fear. Fear of ridicule, failure, poverty, loss of love etc.
Can we break ourselves from this cycle. We try to shun anything that troubles
us. And we remain under our cover. We constantly brood over our pains and
worries. Are we supposed to spend the rest of our lives in this fashion? Or are
we going to fly like a butterfly. Can we do something so that our life as well as
that of others becomes a bit better? Do we contemplate ourselves with an
extraordinary future? Do we see ourselves as a savior to humanity? What
difference does our existence make to the rest of the world? Can we be a bit
courageous so as to change the current state of our existence?

Live your today to the fullest without any worries whatsoever. Living is
an art and you need to acquire it if you want to live happily. We have to be
control in our life, if we don’t want others to control it. Our life is the greatest
gift god has given us. God has made this world in play. We have to live each
day as it comes. We need to be aware of what we are thinking about. Our life
should be an example for others to follow. Our life is like a river that has its
source in the mountains and run through valleys and plateaus and ultimately
meets the ocean. The flow is never smooth. So many pebbles and mud
obstructs the rivers path. So do we have so many ups and downs in our life?
Everything happens for the better.

We must make each day count. Every moment in our life is important.
Why spend it brooding over our pains and troubles. Instead why not make the
most of it and live it as if it were your last. Give the attention that you deserve.
Invest in yourself. So person in this world is as important as you are. You must
focus on your strengths. Give the world your best every time. Always listen to
what your heart is trying to tell you. Change your thinking and your life will
change for better. Any amount of reasoning won’t help in case you have the
habit of Procrastination.
 Do you own your game? Do you see every setback as an opportunity to
learn? Who is stopping you from achieving the goals that you set for yourself.
There are no free lunches. Everything comes with a price. There is no such
thing as something for nothing. You ought to think rationally and logically. You
don’t have to be great to start but have to start in order to be great. To
maintain your calm amidst difficulty is utmost essential. Nowadays everything
negative is circulated faster and given relevance. Our own self image has taken
a hit. We have lost all our self-worth. We have sold our soul to the world in
order to achieve wealth and success. We have taken our morals and ethics for
a ride in order to be great.

Nobody is superior to us. Our own perception of ourselves needs to change.

When we understand our own importance the world respects us. As soon as
there is hope our purpose to live enhances. Remember to always keep a
pleasant smile on your face. No matter what, receive and give that joy that you
truly deserve. No one has ever achieved gigantic success without first paying
the price of hard work. Why to take extra efforts if they are not going to
matter? Indeed every step in the direction of success matters. Our own self
effort will lead to something big. We cannot rely on any external factors to
make us great. Our inner compass is the true indicator. God helps those who
help themselves. Our days are counted and the opportunities that lie in front
of us are unlimited. Each and every aspect of our life is unique. We have
preserve the sanctity of the moment.

Every day is a new challenge to survive. We ought to hold on to ourselves with

all the turmoil’s that life has to offer. We simply need to be heroic in our
deeds. We have to perform at our world-class. It demands our energy and
determination. Everything rests with us. It is up to us as to how we handle
things. Great people believe in their deeds and actions. There is lot to learn
from our peers and colleagues. We got to take our best foot ahead. Yes it also
means taking a few steps back at times. We have to overcome challenges and
steer past our goals and objectives. We have to be extremely careful the way
we consume our time.

We perhaps have to spend some time with ourselves. We have to

think as to what is right thing to do here. May be we will falter a few
times. But then somewhere our struggle should get over and finally
 achieve success. Our existence should rely on a strong foundation. We
must expect something positive from ourselves. We can be the person
we sometimes dream of. We must not forget that our birth had a
specific purpose and we are here to fulfill it. The circumstances might be
demanding right now but they won’t stay so forever. We need to get
into the habit of looking for the positive in everything. Where there is a
will there is a way.

We have to do something that take us away from our daily course of

life especially work. It might be anything from simply planting and
growing a tree or cultivating a hobby of stamp collection. It will
transform and change the way you look at life. There is no need to be
perfect in everything. Always what affects is behavior is competition
from external sources. We tend to get paralyzed by our fears. We tend
to get dominated by our negativity. We let our hope crush and become
slaves to defeat. Our own understanding of this universe is quite weak.
Only an ardent guru can help us find the right path.

Transformation needs to be from within. There needs to be that inner

craving to accomplish something big. Our goals should be really huge
that they keep us on the go every time. In case some life-changing has to
happen then we have to be open to that. Our own careless attitude can
cost us a lot. How can we bring happiness to all the people on this
planet? Can we end the misery that the public face? A marvelous thing
to do is to seek out solutions to people’s problems. Take delight in doing
things you do that boredom never touches you. You have to make
yourself powerful and invincible. And the way to do that is really to stay
committed to your goals. Because ultimately that will keep you moving
forward and in the right direction.

What is the greatest trouble in our life? Well it only means we are alive. For
the only people who do not have worries & concerns are the ones who are
lying under their graves. So think of helping other people as much as you can.
Even one lifetime is less for this. We have to ask ourselves this powerful
question “How will I what I do today have its impact 300 years from now?”
Asking this question to yourself again and again will put you on the path of
becoming a legend.
 When you are worshiping an idol think of what use this is going to
be. Where are my actions leading me to? Am I doing something
beneficial at this moment of time? “Am I doing anything wrong” is what
you should be asking yourself. The only person you need to beat is
yourself. You should be competing against yourself on daily basis. You
should be building a wall from stones that people throw at you. Always
remember that any sort of criticism is an undisguised complement.
Learn to share your belongings. For nothing is permanent. One day even
you will have to part with what you have earned on this planet.

In order to achieve success you need to be dynamic and believe in

what you do. You must have a plan of action ready and be prepared to
face any challenge. The earth rotates around its axis. And it has been
doing this for millions of years in the past and most probably for another
million in the future. During this time duration it must have gone
through numerous reforms. The atmosphere must have changed
phenomenally. Now the earth as a planet is conducive to live. And our
fellow planets can’t even harbor any organisms. So the probability of we
getting a life on this planet is one in a billion. How blessed are we to
having born as a human being among countless other species on this
planet.

We have survived the Stone Age, metal age and now even this digital
age will also come to a pass. Life is challenging and we have to face them
boldly and squarely. We all have numerous health issues. We never feel
alright 100%. Then we tend to take to worries and stress unnecessarily.
Time pass on and we find ourselves nowhere as if lost and went missing
on an island. Our heart beats constantly and even that is a miracle in
itself. Our body is full of wonders and we tend to take it for granted. Our
body consists of each and every element found in this universe. We have
to keep our physique in proper condition. We have to realize how our
body functions and how wondrous and astonishing it is. Till now science
has not been able to produce blood that runs through our body. We are
nothing less than divine beings. Simply put we are god in human forms.
And we are gifted two hands to work. And in spite of this we are fond of
living in distress.
You have to be really smart to achieve great things. Life is tough because you
perceive it to be tough. You should learn to eliminate or control your fears. Life
comes with a lot of challenges. It tests your metal again and again. You simply
have to think in terms of possibilities. Shifting your attention from being
skeptical to utmost positive will be very fruitful. Everything has a reason. The
nature has its own cause and effect. In order to achieve more you have to put
your brain into operation more. Your thinking is probably the greatest asset
that you have.

You can always change your life for better. Get inspired by great
people and their thoughts. One life is too small to make the same
mistakes again and again and not learn anything from them. Things get
complicated when we think only of ourselves and about our selfish
motives. We all crave to earn more money. Currency has become next to
oxygen nowadays. With proper planning and habits we can always have
abundance of money in our life. But our chief goal should be of some
service to the society. Some days you feel high while on some days you
feel very very low. That happens because our moods swing and our mind
suggests us different things.

Choose your options wisely. Don’t ever regret in case you have done
a blunder especially in business. Start anew and gain glory. Win over
your enemies with love rather than hatred. Respect yours and other
people’s time. Choose and select your friends very carefully. For your
company decides how you live. Pick books that will transform your
thinking and put you on the roadway to success. Remember giving as an
act will liberate you from worrying and getting tensed. Be pristine clear
on your goals and objectives.

Speak with your near and dear ones often. For they are the reason
you are still existing. Try striking a conversation that is harmonious and
soothing. Also take some quiet time for yourself. Write down your
thoughts. Maintain a journal. Provide gratitude for the blessings that you
have in your life. Listen to some motivating audio programs. They will
really stimulate you hunger to achieve more and the path to it.
Remember trouble don’t come in life because you want but to alleviate
you. Attending seminars and listening to motivational speakers is a game
 changer. It will increase your development by at least 10 times. If you
follow this tactics you will be a hero in life instantly. You have to invest in
yourself. Investment in the self pays the highest dividend. This is
charging your mind with great thoughts. Always keep an upbeat attitude
and marvelous nature.

Life is full of uncertainties. We are not sure what will happen tomorrow or
today later for that matter. What we can do is live our present moment at its
best and most fully. Life is full of colors. We just need to observe them. Our life
is affected by the way we think. Everything is meant for us to utilize aptly. Life
can get beautiful if we take the necessary steps. Learning has to be our daily
routine. Only through cultivating the habit of daily learning can we really
develop, mature and grow ourselves. We need not fear anything on this
planet.

Use your abilities to your best. Seek and take counsel of experts.
Sheer company of great thinkers will revolutionize your life. You will find
yourself a better person due to better camaraderie. So make it a point to
acquaint yourself with friends who are more intelligent, wise and
wealthy than you. Eat nutritious diet, exercise more and read good
books. This is the simple mantra for success. This will help you believe in
yourself. For you will be a revered person whom people will adore and
rely upon. Chances are since you are reading this book you want to
improve and change. As Benjamin Franklin has rightly said “Early to bed
and early to rise make man healthy, wealthy and wise”

So give up your sheepishness and cowardliness and stand like a lion.

You will be able to win all your fears instantly and rise above the ranks.
For you were born to win. Relax at times and don’t go too fast. You must
yourself enjoy your journey. And this has to be completed with your
near and dear ones. Always keep focusing on your target and how can
the goals be achieved. You will influence enough other people with the
way you behave.

When we make others happy it is automatically going to make us

happy. No one else creates troubles in our life. It is we who are
responsible for the pain and suffering in our life. We suffer sorrow when
 we display a jealous and self-centered attitude. We are carried away by
the outcomes of our actions which are rather not in our hands. We can
perform our duty but don’t have right to its fruits. Nothing is as
complicated as our life. We are supposed to act as others want us to. We
don’t reflect on our efforts. Life is after all just a spark which will
eventually fade away.

Our dreams will only stay on paper and never become true. There has to
be something that makes us go along when the going gets tough. Life will be
easy on you if you are tough on life. Otherwise if you are easy on life, life will
be tough on you. You must plan and prepare for your day in advance. You must
clearly note down tasks you want to accomplish as per your priorities. You will
enjoy the sense of accomplishment when you tick off those tasks of your to do
list. You must get better by each passing day.

Try and get out of your comfort zone. Look into a mirror and ask yourself
“Is the way I want to lead the rest of my life?” You have to create that persona
and individuality which others revere. You must try to remain healthy for only
good health will bring you happiness and prosperity. Follow a healthy and
nutritional diet always. Keep away worries and unnecessary tensions. Brooding
over the past won’t give you peace; neither will it help you enjoy your present.

You don’t have to invite any disease in your life. It’s only law of attraction at
work in the faulty way. You are an asset to your family and to your nation.
When you took birth everybody was celebrating and you were crying, but
when you leave this world let everybody else weep and you rejoice.

Ask yourself “Why has god kept me alive till today?” What is the purpose
of my life? Why have I taken birth in my parents’ house? Knowledge about
death enhances our style of living. It will only small win in the form of little
accomplishments that will lead to a massive victory. What’s the use of playing
the game if you are not in it to win it? Champions put in hard work
continuously and emerge winners. And the peace of mind that you will earn is
simply enormous. Then people will be reciting your success stories and gaining
inspiration. Who does not have trouble in life? Running from them is not the
right solution. You must develop the right mental attitude that will ascertain
you live a life full of dignity. Classify yourself as a class warrior who has just
focused on his target. Can we live the life of other person better? No, what we
can do is enhance and improve our life. So that we become an example for
others as to how to live? When we keep our surroundings clean our health
automatically improves. Just try and smell the beautiful fragrance of the
flowers out there in the nature. It will make you feel godly.

Everything is easy if we decide to do it. Our victory is often certain if we

are adequately prepared for the same. Even as there are so many difficulties,
life goes on. We simply worry and brood a lot about our problems. We must
begin our day on a positive note. Express gratitude for little blessings that you
have in life while you are awakening from night’s sleep. The chirping of the
birds will make you feel better. Set very big and ambitious goals for yourself.
You have got almost 24 hours to accomplish what you want. Some breaks in
between help you to focus and concentrate.

Now you have received an enormous gift in the form of life. God has
bestowed you with all the talents and qualities that a winner and successful
person should possess. God wants you to realize his purpose and come back to
him. The choice to become either god or an animal in this life is up to you. We
all want to exceed our potential. We easily get distracted by the negative
comments of our near and dear ones. What we forget is we all have got
unlimited capabilities that remain to be ferreted out. You are the god’s
greatest creation.

Go out and give your best to the world. We have to be very particular in our
approach to life. Life is never straightforward. It is full of tests and tribulations.
Due to our sluggish attitude we just happen to get past each day. We take
every moment of ours for granted. We don’t seek change or improvement in
our life. All we want is total comfort and our ego being petted. All it takes is a
bit of resilience and continuous improvement to be perfect at anything. We
always need to keep the end in mind while accomplishing a worthwhile goal.
We must keep trudging along the path that we have chosen for ourselves.

Investment in knowledge yields the best returns. That means our

understanding of the world and about ourselves is very important. Unless and
until we understand what our needs are how we will we make progress? So
when you start accumulating knowledge wealth will automatically flow
towards you. You simply got to be patient enough to use these resources for
the benefit of all. Ask yourself “What can I give right now?”

People are getting very health conscious day by day. New medicines are
getting discovered every day. Science has discovered means that can save even
a dying man. But this has also increased the risks of many new diseases and
illnesses. We are simply taking our health for granted. Consumption of junk
food has increased. We have stopped consuming nutritional diet. This has
given rise to severe deficiencies and malnutrition. The simple solution is eating
home cooked nutritious food. Also you have to prepare a diet plan for yourself
that will ensure that you are taking in the required amount of nutrients.

Energy changes from one form to other. We have to build energy in us

which has to be used in a constructive manner. Energy is stored in us in the
form of food that we consume. Yes we have to challenge ourselves every day.
Everything has an appropriate time when it needs to be done. You need to
ingrain some tactics in order to make yourself most productive. Morning walks
are absolutely essential as it keeps our mood upbeat whole day. We get tensed
when we don’t have anything working for us. Indeed life continues in this
fashion until our death. Life is a series of events. What we can control is our
attitude towards them.

It is a challenge to keep our mood upbeat at times. In order to amass

wealth we have to route our energies in the right direction. Indeed we have to
find our own path that will lead us to life of peace, happiness and glory. Your
inner system is so powerful that it has given your birth against all odds on this
planet. We depend on external factors for joy and delight that we have
forgotten that the true source are we ourselves for happiness. Diwali is a
festival of lights and crackers, sweets and rangoli. The atmosphere is full of
ecstasy and celebration. It’s a remembrance of Rama returning to Ayodhya
after his victory over Ravana. Thus what every festival does is it shifts our
attention from daily life of hassle and haste to some joy and peace.

We happen to neglect our own health at times. Especially with our eating
habits. Taking small precautions at times gives us a satisfaction that no one can
snatch away from us. Keeping our health intact is completely in our hands.
Why spend money on medicines and doctor’s advice. Why not keep our body
completely healthy through nutritious food and exercise. Respecting our body
is like worshipping god. Our body goes through innumerable changes since our
birth till our old age. Who gives this information of metabolic changes to our
body and where is this software stored. How accurately does our heart beat
every moment?

How awesome our life is we come to know only when our old age has
occurred and we are on our death bed. Then we would regret having not done
the things that were very possible by us. They remain our unfulfilled wishes.
Had we planned our activities and allotted time for the same as our topmost
priorities, we would have accomplished those tasks. Had we put in a bit of
courage we could have done what couldn’t be done initially. Rather than
changing the external factors trying making internal changes in your own
system. This will make you feel better and at the same time you would start
respecting yourself. Go out and fire your best weapons that you hold. Don’t
keep them to yourself.

This world requires fighters like you. You ought to make a difference by
pulling your own strings. Constancy of purpose is required. You will have to
create momentum for yourself. On the way you will require help from many
people. Just concentrate on your functionalities. Put your thoughts in action.
The world needs more brave hearts like you. Life rewards those who deserve
it. And you ought to be the blessed one. Nevertheless you were a born
champion. And everything needs to go as per your wishes. Simply put your
worries at bay and live to your maximum potential. Just imagine how dull and
boring life would be if nobody had any problems or pains.

You are the focal point of this universe. You are simply a amazing human
being with marvelous qualities. With daily small consistent improvements you
will be at the top of your field and industry. For sure you will make rapid
developments and take huge strides in your career. You have got unlimited
potential in you that remain to be unleashed. You just can’t adorn too many
hats for yourself. Learn to respect yourself and your needs. You are simply
priceless on this planet. You must prepare yourself in order to win. And that
requires a huge commitment. Just as roots are important for a plant same way
your thoughts are significant to your existence.
 In order to survive you have to take up some work. You work so that your
talents and qualities are revealed to the world. The whole world benefits from
you and the potential hidden in you. You are responsible for the consequences
of your actions. Everything happens for the good. It is the spirit in which you
take things. Remember you got to make matters work in your favor rather than
being a trifling spectator. You are the director of your own film. Please cast a
mind boggling role.

Choose your options carefully. Don’t waste time on something foolish

or unimportant. Give others the respect they deserve. Be superhuman in your
efforts. Change tactics the moment you find them incorrect. Have enough
savings for a rainy day. Remember every penny saved is a penny earned. Never
think you are small or weak. You can dominate this entire universe by your
sheer will-power. Just keep blossoming and radiating. Nobody can defeat you
unless and until you give up. Be brave hearted and set for your conquest.

Have you ever wondered what this world will be without you. Well the
planet did exist before you were born and will continue on even after you. So
you have to be the differentiating factor. Listen carefully to what your heart is
trying to tell you. Act the way you want to. Presume that there is nothing
stopping you from being super-successful. But yes you need to put in the hard
work. Constancy of purpose is required.

We are supposedly the most intelligent species on this planet. Surely god
made us with a purpose in mind. And one of God’s purposes is to make this
world a better place to live. Life gives us very delicate moments to handle.
When trouble arises we start blaming god. How on earth can this happen to
me? Why I have to bear all this? Everybody wants peace, joy and happiness in
their life. Although we neglect the human aspect of life and run after material
pleasures. We have to carve our own path to success.

Determination is the key. There needs to be persistency in our efforts. We

must change for better. Our existence must not become trivial and
insignificant. Don’t just sit and brood over your problems. Get up and act.
Today is what you have. Make the most of it. Don’t leave anything for
tomorrow. Get habituated to positive thinking always. Take some calculated
risks. Face a few challenges whole heartedly. Take a handful of decisions on
your own. Love thy neighbor. Also love the whole mankind. Some moments
are priceless. You got to leave your mark behind. Discuss your feelings with
near and dear ones.

Life exists because there is hope. Our future is completely in our hands. We
have to shape our own destiny. Do everything that is possible within your
reach. Don’t expect goals to be achieved in a single day. Remember Rome was
not built in a day. Under all circumstances remain calm and peaceful. Take a
deep breath and say to yourself “I feel happy, I feel energetic, and I feel
terrific”. Making excuses won’t allow you to climb the mountain top. Get out of
that habit of procrastination. It’s now or never. Never leave that till tomorrow
what you can do today.

Nothing is permanent. Everything keeps changing. He who has learnt to

change as per the situation prevails. Assume everything is happening as per
your wish. Would you still be happy? Or would you brood over how little
cheerful or joyous you are. Life is really too short. So have fun. Why sulk on the
opportunities that have been missed? Why not go out and perform your best
at 100%. Whosever is giving you trouble is himself agonized. All you got to do is
have mental clarity. Will there be another you. Chances are very high that you
are unique.

Have a game plan ready. March forward towards your goals with
uncommon grit and persist till you win. Always think ‘what can I do for the
nation that I belong to’. Be thoroughly confident of what you are doing. Forget
what has happened in the past. Start a new journey afresh. This time set a goal
and have a deadline allotted. This will keep you on your toes and keep the
momentum working in your favor. You will feel enthusiastic at the outset of
reaching your goal. Nevertheless even if you face failure at least you tried
wholeheartedly.
 Everything depends on our belief system. We should be very careful
about what we think of. There is no greater joy than achieving what we have
set out for. We all have our own self doubts. We have to rise beyond them.
What goes around comes back. Sometimes we feel lazy even to get up and
move. We tend to get worried for our future. There is lot to accomplish and
the time is fading away fast. We are simply tackling our own difficulties. The
days seem to pass away faster. We are quite unsure as to how future events
will line up.

All we can do is stay in control of ourselves. Just keep yourself busy with
some kind of work. Don’t allow even a single moment to pass without any
effort. Life moves slowly but you move faster. Take complete charge of
yourself. Blossom like a flower. Be firmly rooted. Concentrate and focus on the
now. Make the most of it. Set yourself in motion. Take easy. Form some good
habits. Risk a bit. You know of what metal you have been made. Consider
taking those vital breaks from time to time. Choose your company wisely.
Make your mind peaceful and fill it with gratitude. Accept yourself the way you
are. All said and done. Start cautiously and go till end. Leave no stone
unturned. Use all of your senses properly.

You have got limitless power in yourself in the form of your subconscious
mind. This mind of yours does all your body functioning tasks when you are
asleep but doesn’t sleep itself. You can order your subconscious mind to do
any kind of task for yourself. It is a very faithful servant always at your disposal.
And it can fully help you to realize your dreams and ambitions. All you got to
do is command your subconscious mind to achieve the unimaginable. It is a
powerhouse of energy and vitality. It will make you irresistible and
unstoppable.

Look deep into yourself and identify those hidden talents. Those strengths
that can make you immortal. People will remember you for centuries to come.
Your saga and tale would be sung with great glory and style. Look forward and
develop yourself into a giant. Don’t look back and act timid. Be brave and show
resilience and solitude. Conquer thy worst fears. You will be amazed at what
you possess and have got to offer.
 What we are today is a result of our upbringing. Our everyday challenges
are never going to end. We have to confront each day with its set of
challenges. Fix your mind on something concrete. Hold your head and chin
high. Set yourself free of all the negative self beliefs. Just relax a bit and help
yourself with a warm coffee. Go for a movie and have a long chat with your
friend or an associate. Don’t lose heart if certain things don’t go the way you
want. Have a financial plan ready for your life. Catch a movie with your spouse
or friend. Walk on the green grass barefooted.

Our mind is able to function fully when we have proper sleep at night. 7-8
hours of sleep at night is absolutely essential. Practicing Yoga and meditation
keeps you happy and energetic whole day. Concentrate on your breathing for a
few minutes. Don’t consider a few setbacks as permanent defeat. You got to
reach the zenith of your achievement. You have to win that prestige for
yourself. Just think of a very bright future for yourself and the outcome to be
too good.

Calculate your moves in advance. Ships don’t sink because of the water
around them; ships sink because of the water that gets in them. Don’t let
what’s happening around you get inside you and weigh you down. Be brave.
Stay focused and remember you choose who and what you let in your head. In
life, you will realize that there is a role for everyone you meet. Some will test
you, some will use you, some will love you, and some will teach you. But, the
ones that are important are the ones who bring out the best in you. They’re
the rare and amazing people who remind you why it’s worth it. There is a
purpose for everyone you meet. Some build you up, while other attempt to
bring you down. Yet, all teach us a lesson. Your friends equal your future.
Chose wisely.

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value

others above yourselves. Many of us suffer from the “I” problem! “I” want
what “I” want and “I” want and “I” want it now. Learning to let go of your pride
and your ego is very easy in theory, however can be very difficult to execute in
the moment. The next time that you pride/ego is getting the most of
you….Step away, think before you speak and let go the past. Think more like a
child. Fall down, get up…..the more the times that you get up, the stronger
you’ll become. The process of our personal developmental journey is difficult.
But, the more that you hold onto the past…the greater the barrier will seem.
Remember, nothing changes, if nothing changes. Nothing in the world can
bother you as much as your own mind, I tell you. In fact, others seem to be
bothering you, but it is not others, it is your own mind. Don’t let others take up
real estate in your mind. When people seem to be bothering you…think hard
and realize who let them in. Your life, your fault. When do you worry? There is
nothing to worry. Even if there is something, consider it to be nothing. You are
here to enjoy, not worry.
 Sometimes, hurricanes come through our lives in the forms of people or
as lessons. It sucks, we get hit hard and loss ourselves in the path of
destruction. But no matter how bad you’ve been destroyed, just know that you
can overcome. No matter how much of you has been broken, just know that
you can always put yourself together to be a champion again. Appreciate that
obstacles serve a role other than to cause emotional distress. Serving rather as
an invitation to gain clarity, focus and strength. In life, you will get knocked
down. You will face uncertainty. But in the end, an obstacle is a necessity in
order for you to build resilience, fortitude and strength. Be Brave. Stand tall
and appreciate the Process. When I shift from “Life happens to me” to “Life
happens for me” I transcend myself from being a victim to a master creator of
life. When we realize that we are the master creator of our life then every
situation seems to be an opportunity for our spiritual awakening.

To be truly present for someone is to listen them without letting our mind
preoccupied about their past. Listening without judging, listening with a clean
heart and calm mind, all are forms of expressing love. So love yourself, forgive
yourself and thus heal yourself. Nature takes no side, It is impartial. We receive
fruits according to our deeds. Why do you worry? There is nothing to worry.
Even if there is something, consider it to be nothing. You are here to enjoy, not
worry. Just in case you’re doubting yourself today, let me remind you: You’re
wonderful, you’re loved, You’re talented, you deserve to be happy. There is so
much life waiting to happen for you.

Please, stop wasting it in doubt, self-loathing and anger. Trust me, I

understand that little bitch voice which can torment us whispering “you’re not
good enough”, or “what will people think”. So what! You deserve all that life
has to offer. Too old; too broke; too whatever…don’t worry. Today is the most
significant day of your life. Don’t wait for the right time to come. Don’t wait to
be ready, you have been ready all your life and today, today you will shine. Be
brave, stay focused and remember you are unstoppable! Make today happen.

Learn to live. Life is about being happy no matter what happens. Patience is
not the ability to wait. Patience is to be calm no matter what happens,
constantly take action to turn it to positive growth opportunities, and have
faith to believe that it will all work out in the end while you are waiting. Every
delay is not a denial. Your time is going to come. Contentment Is not
dependent in what work we do, it is dependent on the perspective & intention
of working. To be joyful, we don’t have to always change what we do, we only
have to check and change our vision and intention of working. One of the best
thing we can do for the world is heal ourselves by spiritual wisdom. We all are
interconnected. So when we are happy, the world gets energy of Happiness.
Meditation purifies, glorifies and dignifies the Soul. Let them judge you. Let
them understand you. Let them gossip about you. Their opinions aren’t your
problem. You stay kind, committed to love and free in your authenticity. No
matter what they do or say don’t you dare doubt your worth or the beauty of
your truth.
 The most important lesson I’ve learned in the past year is: Don’t let anyone
turn you cruel. No matter how badly you wanna give the world a taste of its
own medicine, it’s never worth losing yourself over. Today’s seed is
tomorrow’s harvest…don’t worry, time heals all wounds and eventually
exposes the truth. Breath, smile and move on. Your circle should want to see
you win. Your circle should clap loudly when you have good news. If not, get a
new circle. We often hear the quote.”Show me the five people you spend the
most time with and I’ll show you your future”. You may not think so, but who
you associate with is who you become. Your friends, your spouse, your
partner…influence you on everything. Your circle should want you to win,
succeed and grow. It’s also important to note that you become your friends.
There is a direct correlation with who you surround yourself with and who you
become. Winners hang with winners…like attracts like. At the end of day, your
life is your choice. Just remember, you are ultimately influenced the most by
your inner circle..and that circle can either make or break you.

Giving your best shot at everything you do is the key to success. Living
should become a festival now. Live every moment to its fullest. Rather than
brooding over not having enough money, our goal should be to amass
happiness. Whether he is furious or she is enraged, leave it then and there. Say
sorry and pick up that relationship. At times break your dreams but not the
relationships, for you can get the dreams back but not the person. Life is like a
drawing, if you fill the colours you like it will bloom like a flower. People facing
problems have two main reasons “ Either he want more than what he requires
or he wants before the time. Smile is the most beautiful expression in the
world. So smile always.

Life is like a road. Walk with dignity. There would be ups and downs but you
just keep changing gears. You don’t require advice everytime in life, sometimes
a courage give hand, listening ears and a heart that understands is required. A
man who has lost on ground can win again but a man who lost with his mind
can never win. If you are searching someone than go for one who cares for
those who want their need to be fulfilled will come searching for you.
Friendship should be sweet, In life there must not be any compromise on it.
During joy it must laugh and in pain it must cry. But it must last with us lifelong.
 Life is for once, let there be no ego. Give love to all. Just as when iron melts
it becomes a weapon, when gold melts it becomes jewellery, when soil loosens
it becomes harvest, same way when a man becomes humble, there’s a place
for him in everybody’s heart. “You will continue to suffer if you have an
emotional reaction to everything that is said to you. True power is sitting back
and observing things with logic. True power is restraint. If words control you
that means everyone else can control you. Breathe and allow things to pass” –
Warren Buffet. The reward of hard work is not the earning but the personality
that is created thereby.
 Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that
what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for. Stop
looking at the greener grass on the other side, while overlooking the fact that
you also have a grass. The choice of what color your grass is, that’s up to you.
We are in most powerful mode when we are in the natural state of being
peace. Peace is our natural state of being wherein we are most receptive and
vital. Peace is our potential power. Love, peace and happiness can never leave
you because you are made of it. Love, peace, bliss, purity, knowledge, power,
and happiness are the seven natural sanskaras of every soul.

If a negative act is committed for the good of others, is it bad? Certainly it is

bad. A negative act starts harming you. When you have harmed yourself, you
can never help anybody else. A lame person cannot help another lame person.
First you have to make yourself healthy, and then you will find that you have
started helping others. Consistency is harder when no one is clapping for you.
You must clap for yourself during those times, you should always be your
biggest fan. No one owes you anything. You are responsible for your life, your
happiness, health and freedom. You owe yourself everything.

Hate is fire. Don’t burn yourself in it. Loneliness is the biggest punishment in
this world! And solitude is the biggest gift/blessing!! These two words appear
so similar,yet cannot be more apart, like heaven and hell! Loneliness is
suffering, and Solitude is relaxing! Loneliness is fear and solitude is peace! Till
we look for solace in the outer world we will experience Loneliness! But when
you look for it within you, you start experiencing solitude! This life is nothing
but a journey from loneliness to solitude! A journey, in which the path is us,
the traveler is also us and so is the destination!

You will continue to suffer if you have an emotional reaction to everything

that is said to you. True power is sitting back and observing things with logic.
True power is restraint. If words control you that means everyone else can
control you. Breathe and allow things to pass. What is beautiful? That which is
forgiven even after all misunderstanding and getting angry, that relationship is
beautiful. Doing something for the environment everyday can help this planet
a better place to live.
 When you plant one seed, then earth gives a corn full of seeds. A human
being is also same way, when given a word of love starts emanating a riverful
of love. The key to live life fully is this – “Remember something new each day
and forget something old” Accept both criticism and appreciation, for to grow
a tree you require both water and sunshine. Every artist gives his name to the
Art created by him. But artist like a mother in spite of giving birth to a child
gives him his father’s name.
 Just be conscious, aware and alert of your inner world, the outer world
will be perfect. To observe your mind without judging is to be aware of it and
awareness is the first step of transformation. When the inner world
transcends, the outer world transforms naturally. Replacing “Why is this
happening to me?” with “What is this trying to tell me?” has been a game
changer for me. Everything happening in your life right now is meant to help
you grow. Many situations are difficult and exhausting, I get it. Just try to take
a step back and observe why has this “problem” showed up? Be brave. Stay
focused and remember, problems are simply well-meaning messages
attempting to reveal something important for you.

You’re never in the wrong place. Sometimes you’re in the right place
looking at things in the wrong way. Humility wins Hearts. Humility win Hearts.
Thinking unnecessarily makes us feel bad unnecessarily. The line of your
fortune is visible in the picture of your present actions. We portray the picture
of our fortune in each thought we think, in each word we speak and in all the
actions we do today. We become the way we think. If we think positive our life
will take a upturn. Our body works as a result of our mind. Even if your desire
is too small, you require a determined heart to fulfill it. You ought to
understand a journey of 1000 miles starts with a single step. Tell problems not
to tackle with us for we know how to win in any situation.

Remember the dreams are yours, so only you will fulfill it, don’t expect the
situation to suit you or the people. Your thinking only makes you great, if you
want to grow like a rose then you ought to learn the technique of
compromising with thorns. Don’t live life as an individual, live it as a
personality, for life will get over but the persona will remain forever. If you
want to become successful in life please throw this words in dustbin 1. What
will people say? 2. I won’t be able to do it 3. My mood is not alright 4. I have ill
luck 5. I don’t have enough time

Change doesn’t happen by reading thoughts, change happen by acting on

those thoughts. Lord Buddha has said “ A ripen fruit has 3 characteristics one
that it get soft, second it sweetens up and third it changes its colour. Same way
a mature person has 3 qualities on he becomes humble, second his voice
deepens and third that his face reflects confidence”. Why do you say that
nothing good happens. The truth is that things don’t happen the way you
want. If anybody is with you or not, there is no greater companion than
yourself. Don’t stay with the shame of what you could not complete yesterday,
stay with the belief of what you will be completing today.
 Problems are small. We make them big. If you have a family that loves you,
a few good friends, food on your table and a roof over your head. You are
richer than you think. Can we solve all of our problems? Yes sure, very much.
All the solutions to our problems lies within us. We must accept ourselves the
way we are. We must have a systematic approach to everything. We must help
each other during our adversities. Our vision should be long term both for
ourselves and our nation. Thinking about change will not do any good. It is
how we react to change that is important. We desire so many things in our life.
We go that extra mile to achieve those dreams of ours. We care so much for
our near and dear ones.

You have to visualize your success. That will keep you happy. Patience
brings a state of calm which helps in finding the answers that already lie within
and give courage to work on the problem in a cool and relaxed way. The one
with an open mind is the one who is able to see things for what they are and
accept them and take the lesson. If you remain always concerned for others
den only you can do for others and there will be constant benefit for others
merged in each and every action of yours.

The most important places to keep clean and tidy are my mind and heart.
If I allow thoughts to flourish that I wouldn’t want to see the light of day, I can
never have any real self-respect. By starting each day in quiet reflection and
pouring positive, loving thoughts into my mind, I gradually clean out cynicism
and unkindness. Push yourself like a machine and you will eventually run low
on energy. Love your mind by allowing it spaces of silence and it will serve you
tirelessly. Patience and more patience enable a closed mind to gently unfurl.
You have the determination to plant seeds of change now, and the wisdom to
wait fo the fruits to emerge.

There is part of you that is perfect and pure. It is untouched by the less than
perfect characteristics you’ve acquired by living in a less than perfect world. It
is filled with divine qualities, so is a constant state of resourcefulness and well-
being. Its total absence of conflict and negativity of any sort makes this part of
you a Still-Point; a deep, enriching experience of Silence. Make time to practice
reaching this inner place of Silence. It will bring you untold benefit. Honesty
does not mean simply speaking your mind. Honesty means to be very clear
about everything going on inside you. Where there is honesty, feelings become
pure and clean. Honesty is where there are no other thoughts or feelings
inside, other than those that God himself would have. Such clarity is reflected
in your words; they will be filled with the power of truth, and spoken with ease
and without hesitation. The genuine honesty cultivated within you is what will
reach out and touch others. There are three ingredients for a long and healthy
life: live with attention but without worry, use time in a worthwhile way, keep
your thoughts pure, positive and filled with strength. People are often
unreasonable, self centered: Forgive them anyway. If you are Honest, People
may cheat you, but be Honest anyway. What you spend years to build,
someone could destroy overnight. Build anyway. The good you do today,
People will often forget tomorrow. Do Good anyway. You see, in the final
analysis it is between you and God: it never was between you and them
anyway.
 A mind filled with peace creates a heart filled with contentment. When you
want to do something sincerely and are decisive about it; the power of
concentration becomes available to you. Concentration allows you to achieve
more in less time and respond to situations in a more effective way. With
habits, never give in or we lose our dignity, with the self, never give up or we
lose our destiny, with others never give your worst or you will never develop
your best The saying, “what we give is what we receive”. The lesson: Just to
give. There are many words for which we have forgotten the meaning-love is
one such word, and wealth is another. When we hear or use the word wealth
today we immediately conjure images of huge cheques, large properties, five
star holidays and the very best in everything. In fact it is this limited form of
wealth, measured and defined essentially by money which blocks the
realization and manifestation of true wealth. Every human being is wealthy
beyond imagination. But not in their bank accounts.

Courage is to take a step forward into an area of difficulty without a solution

in mind, but yet feeling that victory is ahead. It is going empty handed, but
knowing that God’s hand is stretched out to pull you. While we spend much
time ‘making up’ our faces to ensure our appearance is beautiful for others, we
forget to make up our minds. This is not about making decisions. Making up
our mind means ensuring that our thoughts are positive and our feelings
towards others are filled with good wishes. When we do, others begin to sense
a deeper beauty emanating from behind the skin! This is inner beauty. Don’t
hide behind your face. Let the real you show through.

Good feelings for others are like ointments that heal wounds and re-
establish friendships and relationships. Resistance leads to persistence.
Whatever you resist or pus against simply persists and pushes back in equal
measure. Instead, transform resistance into acceptance by practicing “Que
Sera, Sera…whatever will be, will be…” When speaking to others we usually
speak from our head, or intellect. Words spoken from the head rarely touch
the hearts of others. This means they don’t create any impact and are soon
forgotten. When you do not upset yourself thinking about how others must
change and instead you concentrate on your own change, good things start to
happen. First, you will feel better about yourself. Second, you will start to have
positive feeling towards others and start to understand them. Third, others
start having a more positive attitude towards you. Uncontrolled, scattered
thoughts are like a speeding car. Unless you brake you’ll crash. It is wise to
bend rather than to break. It is wise to bend rather than to break. Those who
change will get spiritual wisdom. Conversely, those who have wisdom will
decide to change. Change is the first law of nature. It is wise to bend rather
than to break. Those who change will get spiritual wisdom. Conversely, those
who have wisdom will decide to change. Change is the first law of Nature.
When someone disbelieves us, we usually argue back and try to prove our
point. Yet we find that the more we talk, the less people listen. Unable to
convince them, we end up frustrated.
 Let the treasure of happiness always be with you and all other treasures
will automatically come to you. The ability to listen, understand and empathise
creates a feeling of trust and friendship in others. If I am always willing to
listen, I can help them discover their own solutions to the problems they have
to face. When you open your eyes in the morning, sit for a moment and
appreciate the gift of a new day, create a peaceful thought and enjoy some
moments of silence throughout the whole day. Patience is a virtue and a
power too. Patience tells us that the journey of a thousand miles begins with a
single step and that we get over there one step at a time. Past is past, put it a
full stop. What happened in the past is not going to come again. You must let
go off the past and live in the present.

Be a holy swan and pick up strength from others. Learn from them and see
positive in them. Be in company of those who are successful and always
upbeat. The enemy of happiness is wasteful thoughts. To stop yourself from
thinking wasteful thoughts focus your mind on God. Only God can grant you
the peace that you deserve. Think how beautiful this world god has made. He
has been very kind to provide us with all the happiness and love that we desire
on this planet. If we let go of negative thoughts and stick to positivity always
we would be better human beings.

You spend most of your life running after things, doing things. You forget
that being comes before doing. Those who remember this secret make an
effort to “be” and discover that when they stop and observe, life helps and
brings whatever is needed. Learning to be is learning to be at peace. It is our
most fundamental nature. Learning enhances our brain functioning. When we
are learning something our brain develops new neurons. When you stop
becoming something you enjoy yourself and just are what you are. Life will
offer you what you are looking for only if you help enough other people
achieve what they are looking for.

Though the mind often asks for what is visible or material, its needs are
deeper and cannot be met by anything superficial or short term. Meditation
leads to a meeting point with all that is true and eternal. You need to have an
appointment with yourself first. Running after worldly desires will lead to
nothing. You will only exhaust all of your energies. Meditation gives you a
chance to understand yourself and what your body is all about. Concentrating
on breathing for at least half an hour daily will help you stay relaxed whole
day. Realize your purpose in life. Think before you think for you are because of
your thinking. You are simply irreplaceable on this planet. You can achieve
what you want in life. Nothing is impossible. The word “Impossible” itself says I
am possible. What was not possible yesterday is possible today. Life continues
in the direction that we want and not what others want.

We seek it here, we seek it there, we look for love everywhere! We expect

it to come to us, usually through another person. All our conditioning says it is
something that happens to us. The mythology of our fables, legends and
modern day entertainment industries say it is something we “fall into”. And yet
real love cannot be acquired, possessed or accumulated. It cannot be known
when we think it comes from outside ourselves. The ultimate paradox is we are
it. We are love.

Somebody said that it couldn’t be done

But he with a chuckle replied

That ‘maybe it couldn’t’, but he would be one

Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.

So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin

On his face. If he worried he hid it.

He started to sing as he tackled the thing

That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

Somebody scoffed: ‘Oh, you’ll never do that;

At least no one ever has done it;’

But he took off his coat and he took off his hat

And the first thing we knew he’d begun it.

With a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin,

Without any doubting or quiddit,

 He started to sing as he tackled the thing

That couldn’t be done, and he did it.

There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done,

There are thousands to prophesy failure,

There are thousands to point out to you one by one,

The dangers that wait to assail you.

But just buckle in with a bit of a grin,

Just take off your coat and go to it;

Just start in to sing as you tackle the thing

That ‘cannot be done’, and you’ll do it.

By Edgar Albert Guest.

Life is better when we are happy, but believe me life becomes excellent
when others are happy because of us. Become something even though it is late
but become something for after some time people don’t ask for your well
being but for your worth. A powerful, yet often misunderstood, aim of spiritual
study is purity.

Purity of the soul means to return to its original divine qualities. The soul
has become so polluted with less than divine qualities, it can hardly enjoy
being alive. Purifying the soul puts the higher self back in charge – useless and
negative thoughts are removed and annoying habits finish. A pure soul cannot
be touched by sorrow; indeed the power of purity is such, it serves to remove
the sorrow of the whole world. Purity restores happiness – even bliss. All you
need to do, in order to re-establish your purity, is want it. But you need to
want it intensely, to the exclusion of everything else. The one thought, “I must
become completely pure” sparks a fire of love between you and God. This fire
melts away all the pollution, and your purity becomes such a power that it
frees you from all battles for ever.
 You are a courageous soul who recognizes that whatever you face will
become the wings with which to fly. Every adversity brings with an equal
opportunity. Even a butterfly has to go with the cumbersome process of being
a cocoon and a caterpillar before it can fly. We must learn to see opportunity
in every problem. Life can be tough at times but that is what life is all about. If
everything was the way you wanted you wouldn’t have worked. Every failure is
a stepping stone to success. You learn walking taking one step at a time. You
climb ladder one stair at a time. Same way you make progress little by little at
a time.

We are never without the solutions to our problems. It’s just that
sometimes we may have to wait a little. Learn how to remain peaceful and
patient. Patience is the mother of all virtues. When you learn to be patient
things start coming to you. He who has patience will have everything.

Words! They are all around me! I see them. I use them. Harsh words,
soothing words, biting words; words that give pain and sorrow; words that give
joy and pleasure. They are vital to communication. When words are spoken
they are reactions, negative or positive. Either thoughts are triggered or
emotions fired or actions performed. Words color our behavior. And how
lovely it is to hear words that are calm and free from rancor and aggression. To
hear words that lifts the soul and leave it with renewed vigor. Such words are
the sparks of purity. It is important to remember that my speech indicates
what is in my mind. As the thinking, so the words uttered. Mental calmness
makes my words calm. A pure mind makes for pure words. It is said that
speech may exalt someone to kingship or send him to the gallows.

I should never let myself indulge in false, bitter and vicious speech. My
words should reflect my true, inner nature, that of purity and peace. Words,
once spoken, can never be recalled. They reverberate all around, beyond our
control. Today, as I utter words, what effect will they have on those who hear
them? Will they be the words that are poisonous and cause pain? Or will my
tongue be like that of the nightingale, sweet and so, so very soothing and
lovely to the ear?
 Ignorance makes you believe that life functions haphazardly. Wisdom
teaches you that everything that happens in this theatre of life has profound
significance. What you see today is not the fruit of chance but a fruit from
seeds planted in the past. Plant seeds of peace now and you will create a life of
peace in the future. As you sow shall you reap? If you sow apple seeds you will
get a apple tree and a apple thereby. You can’t expect mangoes if you are
planting a orange tree. If you are laying a firm foundation of peace today you
will benefit immensely in the form of vast amount of peace in the future.

Peace ends when you are emotionally involved in a situation. The practice
of being an independent observer helps you stay stable and calm. It is the best
way to approach a decision in any circumstance. Be a silent spectator
sometimes. Don’t take any action. Krishna advises Arjuna to just perform his
actions as he is not entitled to the fruits of his labour. We learn from each
other a lot. Man is not like animals. We are a specie with a very wild ego. We
like to do things our own way. Only we can be innovative. Life can be miserable
if we desire so. We can create heaven on this planet. We are planting the
seeds of action in the form of our thoughts. Our brains have outstanding
potential. Learning should be a continuous exercise and on daily basis. Our
ambitions is what keeps us on the right path. We learn by making mistakes.
Our motive in life should be to acquire as much knowledge as possible. Our
brain stays alert when we are learning something new. Knowledge acquired
stays with us for the rest of life. Information is the new god. Make yourself rich
everyday with the gift of knowledge. Teach yourself first. We must develop
respect for our nation. What we are today is because of the country we are
residing in. All the rights that we enjoy are because of the citizenship of the
country we live in. We have to thrive to be successful. All our efforts should be
to be a winner. We can have what we want if we help enough other people get
what they want. Congrats on being a winner.

Change is difficult in the beginning. But as you seek change it becomes a

part of you. Slowly you start gathering momentum and become unstoppable.
Conquer thyself and you have conquered this world. If our thoughts are
purified we feel better. We are simply by-products of our thinking. Our ideas
are our best resource. We can master our lives by changing our thinking. Our
ability to perform depends on the soundness of our thoughts. We have to do
something that earns respect from others. Simply wandering through life
without any purpose is not beneficial. Every setback brings with an opportunity
to grow and learn. Life is beautiful if you make the most of it. Everything is in
your hands. Give it your best shot.

You have to do every bit to succeed. Being a failure is not what you aimed
at or tried for. Life teaches you lessons as you pass through it. Every day is a
new beginning and new birth for us. Constantly pursue to make this world a
better place to live. Give all that you have. You are the most wonderful person
on this planet. God has created you with a special purpose. You must make
each day count. Serving humanity can be the best aspiration that you can hold.
Look for an opportunity to help others. Be yourself. Don’t try to copy others.
You are god’s greatest creation on this planet. You must realize what potential
you hold in yourself. Life will test you every moment. You should add value to
your life. Get going oh great soul. Refuse to give up. Circumstances will check
you thoroughly. March on towards your dreams and goals. You are
unconquerable and undefeatable. You will become what you want to. Always
be confident and give that radiating smile. Be bold enough to accept the
reality. You have to face the truth in the end anyways. Life gives you back what
you put in it.

You have the power to change your life. It’s your choice to live an ordinary
or an extra-ordinary life. Our aim should be to make continuous progress. How
to do what we want to? There would be so many obstacles coming in our path.
The first would be from our family itself. Then just think, will doubting yourself
going to help. Go forward and accomplish what you have thought of. At least
you failed trying to achieve a worthwhile goal. Luck seems to favor him who
gives his best. Keep trying. You have to take charge of yourself. You are
responsible for everything. You have to clean the mess that has been created
in your life. In order to live the life of your dreams you have to improve
yourself. Nothing should be more pleasant than the fruit of your own labor.
Cause you are special.

Every day is a new day. You have a clean slate and you have to fill it. What
words to use, the choice is completely yours. Learn to use your creativity and
imagination to your maximum potential. You are a very special human being
on this planet. You can be a role model for so many individuals. You are out
there to prove your mettle to the world. Life will throw challenges at you, but
you should remain detached and focus on your goals instead. On some days
you will lose that fire, but eventually you will win. For there is nothing that can
stop you. Know your strengths thoroughly. Utilize them properly. Why bother
about your weaknesses and keep brooding over them. Instead capitalize on
your advantages and keep moving forward. Don’t wait even for a moment. You
might ask yourself “What am I here for?” What is my motto? Who am I living
for? Consider all the possibilities that you might have ignored at first. You can
always strive for living long as well. Chose your options really well.

Respect everyone you know. Try and learn from everyone. Speak language
that appeals to others. Listen to everyone and give your opinion only after
listening completely. Strive and do something for your bread and butter. Know
thyself very well. How many times do we remember god every day? Do we
take the power of that almighty who is super powerful. We are what we are
because of him. Think of him every time and every day. Show your gratitude
for him.
