Have a Plan.. or else you fit into someone else’s..

Gold medal won’t come to an athlete who simply sits at home, success never comes unnoticed and as a surprise. Success is not in the form of a lottery which comes most unexpected and unfortunately no one has become rich winning a lottery. Victory comes to the person who has a plan.

When I was in school, I believed during the prize distribution ceremony that I will win a prize, even though I never participated in any event. How many of you had this strange feeling? I now realize it was foolish to expect a return when you haven’t put any effort, but at that point of time I continued to believe that I will win prizes even if I did not participate in any event. We don’t realize, many of us still expect something big to happen though we have not paid the price for it.

Success comes to the person, who steps out of the comfort zone. To be in the stretch zone there should be something that motivates you. Its human to crave for more, personally I would not put the effort if the pain is more than the gain.

I am quite sure that we need to be in this stretch zone at some point in our lives. Everything will not be as easy as it is right now, we will have to work harder to just merely survive. The only way we can come out of this hardship is to have a plan. Have a plan for 5 years from now, have a plan for the next day, have a plan for this day. The sad part is that if we don’t have a plan, we fit into someone else’s plan. Actually there is nothing to worry about; nature has its own course of doing things; we will reach some destination according to the natures plan. But the fact is nature always wants you to come average. If we need to be any better we need to change the course of things.

I affirm we have the ability to change the natural course of things. The job I am doing right now was not my plan; it came to me somehow during engineering. The engineering itself was not my choice; it came to me by chance. In school I took the first group by chance. I assume it’s the same with all of you.
The person you will be 5 years from now is dependent on the decision you take today. Let our lives be filled with choices. I read somewhere that there is nothing called as a problem; it was a choice went wrong. We see the problem fading away when we make a winning choice. Lets all become winners by choice.

Its Introspection time...All you want is all you have asked for..

How many of you really believe in the law of attraction. The law that brings prosperity, wealth or love. Yes, its quite true that you can bring what you think all day long. If you think prosperity – you attract prosperity, if you think debt – you attract debt. Now if its that simple, then why don’t everyone practice this simple law and turn their life 180 degree?     The law holds good, just like a magnet, your mind attracts whatever it dreams off – but there is a condition. This is the most exciting news you are going to listen, something that can lift your spirit, something that you were searching for the last many years.    We all know our mind can be broadly divided into conscious mind, sub conscious mind and unconscious mind. Now the power of subconscious mind is 1000 times more powerful than conscious mind, same is the case with unconscious mind with subconscious. But there is a problem, there is only one language the subconscious or lower unconscious mind accepts – the language

Just Shut Up and Listen... (JSUpL)

If you are confident, get up and speak, if you don’t know the answer Just Shut Up and Listen (JSUpL). These words are not unfamiliar, but are truly unpracticed. Its almost natural for us to react to situations around but most often we forget to whether we are the right person to advice people. Whatever is your age, experience, qualification – you need to develop the habit of listening to topics that you are not aware of. You need to respect the person who is helping you learn new practices and principles. Most often our ego gets in the way and protects us to learn things from people who are not qualified, inexperienced, under aged but with knowledge. This is so true, and just like it applies to me, it applies to you as well. Let think of this situation, you are 8+ years experienced in your organization, now a fresher comes in and talks about things that are knowledgeable and intellectually correct – but your ego gets in the way, and your years of experience logically defends the freshe

The fire in us is dying...

Ever felt the fire in us is not staying as long as it is expected? Ever felt we quit digging 3 feet from gold? Ever felt the grass is green on the other side of valley? My life is full with these questions. My mind is like a pendulum that swings from one desire to another, and by making sure, I just don’t stand to achieve them. This is just the feeling that can happen to any one of you? We are all creatures that live in the past and live on memories.. We just feel our past was better than present, and we worry our future will not be as bright as our past. You seen the new add of Maruti Ritz car? just the same is true with our lives, we got choices - but we end up selecting a compromise. The patterns of thoughts that go through us are also the same, just as i was thinking - to stay in job or to build the business? to buy some land or get a new car ? To travel abroad or stay with family? go out selling or watch TV ? The truth is, even if we know what’s best for us, we refrain from
