Empower Others

Do you have to necessarily empower others? Always yes. Because that way you begin to re-inforce several things for yourself and at the same time you begin to reach higher. Graduates of my Born to WIN Training program have the oppurtunity to attend future programs as coaches. They do so to empower more and more people for the primary reason that they go out to achieve several things for themselves and you must truly walk the talk. When we do so, we push ourselves so much that we get to the # 1 soon. So go out get empowered and empower more and more people....

Why you must always think big?

Last week I was using my motor bike for a short distance and I was seeing some small child being carried in the hot sun in a cycle. I was really disturbed and I was wondering and was really thinking that I am really blessed. And I thought that I should be satisfied with whatever I have. So that did not push me to set any higher dreams for myself. Later a bizzard incident happened. My A/c in my car conked. And I was really jealous of all those people who very in those long big cars and I was like how I wish I had those. And then it struck me, I must never be self contained. Because it will not make me to dream big and big. And at the same time not get distrubed about not having something. Aim big, reach big, achieve big.

Energy withing you!!

You can always attract what you want in your life with the Energy you have. We are all made up of energy and everything in this world is made up of energy. Radiating Positive energy will help you to have positive people around you. And if you don’t get what you want then you begin to exude negative energy inside you.

In short what you get corresponds to the energy you emit. So if you are not getting what you want then very likely that you are emitting negative energy. So be careful of what energy you want to emit.

Now what is this energy?

The energy you emit is based on your thoughts and beliefs. Your subconscious mind is so powerful that it pulls out these thoughts and beliefs and creates a chemical reaction inside and starts producing certain kinds of energies. That is the same reason that you focus on all difficult and worst things that happen in life then you feel a negativity inside you and get tired quite early too. And there are times that you feel charged as you keep thinking of all the good things that have happened to you in life.

So what you do?

Start focusing on important good feelings and experiences, positive situations and always look for solutions.

So be more positive and radiate positive energy.

Endless Curiosity

I have met people from different walks of life, Businessmen, Sales Executives, Software professionals, home makers, students and many many other people as well, both young and old. I remember many of them remarking I am not able to go towards what I want I am too late. They say ‘I want to start my business, but I am too old’. ‘I want to go back to school and learn more.. but I am too old’ And so on and on… and these are certain chains that hold people back for a long time. And it is never too late. At every possible age I hear people saying “I should done this 10 years back” and so on.. This mindset if highly self destructive. These just happen in an instant and are reinforced for years. I give an analogy here. In a restaurant there was a couple in their thirties dining and chatting about the list of things that they missed out as they were young. The adjacent table was occupied by yet another couple in their forties. And coincidentally they were also discussing the various things that they missed as they were young. And incidentally both remarked the same statements “If we were 10 years younger we would done that”. This cycle lasts forever. You may tell yourself “I wish I had done this few years ago” and you will be saying the same few years later as well. This is an ENDLESS CURIOSITY. Do not put a time or a limit to your goals. Live it up. Live LIFE

Careful with your words

There are lots of times we enjoy the beauty of nature and do lots of things unintentionally and yet get bombed. I remember seeing a TV show sometime back on how animals protect themselves from predators. There was a small girl who was playing in the garden and was enjoying the beauty and nature. She was feeling all the flowers, the grass, the lovely butterflies and all other things in the garden. And in a moment her eyes were on a small creature that was walking past her. She had a great liking for animals and wanted to have fun with that animal. And the next moment she screamed and was bleeding in pain. Her mother came over and saw that her hand was bleeding and quickly gave her enough care. And her mom asked the girl how it happened. And she narrated what was happening and she saw an animal that was moving and when it was moving she wanted to cajole and have fun with that animal, but the animal was a bad animal and it pricked her in the finger. The mother was disturbed and ran out to be find what that animal was and it turned to be a porcupine. And it did so intentionally but to protect itself. But it did not understand the intention of the girl who wanted to have fun and play with her. We sometimes behave like the porcupine. When we hurt others though intentionally but to protect ourselves. Understanding that there is a high positive intention behind others action would definitely make us more careful toward hurting them. The needles we have are sometimes more vicious. Words, Actions, Blows, Anger, Pride etc. etc

Materalistic Life??

I head a lot of people say "I don't like to lead a materialistic life". "You know he does not want anything and he just loves doing it". Very true there are people who just do what they do and what is that they get out of it?? Satisfaction, Peace, Happiness, Sense of achievement, Feeling of Pride etc.. etc.. and what are all these? These are nothing but "Values" that drive us everyday. (Born to Win graduates can understand what I am writing). Values are those feelings that we always go towards and for that reason we tend to make all our decisions. If someone helps people and does not expect anything then what is it that he is getting? Satisfaction? Lets say for example. and say if you help someone and expect something from them, what that get for you? could be satisfaction? Understand, when you say you want more money or money materials ask yourself why? then you get the answer. Could be

• Achievement of making more
• Security
• Comfort in life
• Joy of getting everything
• Peace of mind that you can take care of everything

and so on and on. and so if someone is materialistic understand what that gets for them. Then I sure you will not give a different unuseful interpretation to that word.

Take Responsiblity

Today as I was driving in my car I saw quite a few people who were really looking vexed and troubled. I was running low on fuel so I could not switch on the AC in my car so decided to stop at a petrol station and I was really taken aback the way people were behaving. Getting irritated and screaming at the people there. No queue maintained, no order, too much of honking etc.. I was patient (I am otherwise not especially when people do not follow rules) more keen on knowing few behavioral patterns. And then as I drove down there were some people on one of the over bridge crossing the yellow line and moving to the other side. And people from the other side were angry and were brutal in their verbal abuses and gestures. I was definitely disturbed and then was wondering why did they Choose get irritated or angry? I mean there was no sense. And I understood this, “For things to I must change 1st”. Definitely I was not going to change them but as someone remarks that what “you are doing is not right” we tend to think of it. I immediately remembered my Grandpa. He was very careful in driving strictly following all the rules and whenever someone used to not have any discipline on the road he used to be harsh to them. And at least for his age they used to respect and stop doing. I am sure for few it was an impact and for life they wouldn’t have done such acts. The same is true for us. We take responsibility to Change and help and give choices for others to change. This discipline is not just in traffic but also in life. Definitely essential that we through our lives with total discipline. Act now.

Quick Energizer

Yesterday night as I was reading some stuff late in the night I was feeling really drowsy. It was like 12.30 or so in the night. As you know I spend good amount of time late in the night these days finding the best strategies of making more $$ on the internet. And as I was feeling drowsy, I din't want to sleep as it was too early. So what I did was to follow Albert Einsteins Strategy. I am sure you also can do the same. What Einstein uesd to do was whenever he felt drowsy, he used to have a small nap. He used to have spoon on his hand with this hand on the thigh. With that he would sleep and the moment he used to go into the deep slumber the spoon used to fall on the ground which would make the noise good enough for him to wake up and then he immediately used to wake up and start working. So I decided to check out the same and it worked wonders. So check it out and tell me as it works for you too.

Story of Marbles

I read a nice story I though I would share with all of you. This is about a 50 year old man who wanted to lead a very powerful life for himself. So started calculating as to how long we would live. So he understood that on average people live for 80 years and he had about 30 more years to go which means that he had to work his best for 1560 weeks. So he decided to get the best of his life. So went to his garage and took a bag full of marbles and put 1560 in a bowl and each day he started to live it to the fullest. And on Sunday the start a new week he used throw out a marble. And soon he realized that his life was getting shorter and shorter and started and was not enjoying his life to the fullest. He was scared that he will die soon. So his life went from good to bad to worse. That was the time he realized that he was not only going to live life for short while but he had lived a life so good and great for such a long time that will leave a mark for others to follow. So started with the otherway round. For every week he passed by he used to add a marble. So soon the marble mountain grew so big that he decided to leave more and more important things for the people to follow him and hence he started living a different life and every day give its best. So life you fullest everyday and remember that someone is going to learn and follow from what you do.

Road to Success

Have you always wondered why there are few people who really go out to be successful while some others struggling. Few are billionaire and others go out from hand to mouth. I have been repeating this for quite sometime and the simple answer is PASSION. I was reading about one of the youngest billionaires of all times (I am quite fancied about this youngest stuff you know.. J ) At 40 today he is running one of the worlds biggest computer company. Yes DELL Computers and Michel Dell is this guy. He was a billionaire because he went out to do what he liked the most. Like most people had to listened to what his parents have told not sure if he would have made it big. I am not saying not to listen to parents. But convince the people around you, especially the people who say “NAY” not possible kinds. All the time his parents used to tell him to stop playing around with his computer and take up his studies in medicine. He did not much care about it. To quote one of the things what he says is this. "I think the idea of one company trying to do it all is really not necessarily the answer." This is true for all of us also. Not just companies. Do thing you like the best. Born to WIN participants must be wondering how come I use the T-R-Y word here. He has used it in a powerful connotation out here. Because for any in business or anything that you do 20% is what generates 80% of the business. So keep doing more of that. And WIN. Live with Passion

Let go!!

How would it be if we let go of all our bad memories and unpleasant experiences. Must is really wonderful and I am sure many people wonder how the hell do I do it. Lots of negative thoughts hold back and prevent us from achieving many things for ourselves. And fact is that we know we just cannot hold on to these set of negative emotions and feelings that we go through every. The question for such people is this. “HOW LONG DO YOU WANT TO HOLD ON TO THIS NEGATIVE FEELINGS” We know we make the choice to hold on or LET GO. So make the choice to LET GO. I am sure people who have attended the Born to WIN Program know as to how to take control of these negative experiences and emotions that come to you everyday. Use SUBMODALITIES. The power in you and LET GO

Relax as you work !!

As I got up today morning I really had this amazing urge to do something different. And then I decided today is the day of relaxation at office. And then I got from people. They had read about the various article in the news papers and they wanted to congratulate me and I was having this feeling that “ok, today is a relaxed day”. Then I was really wondering how different is today. Actually no different except that today I din’t have much things in my “TO DO” list. But then I figured out that I have lots of more things to do. So I decided to catch up on some latest on NLP, and then some new things on Internet Marketing and went on to search for places where I can learn the piano and so on and on.. this list seemed to be more than the one I usually have. Then I realized, all the things are only things that I want to do and so I anyways will have work. Many a people consider taking rest as an offense. My dad is a standing example. For him taking rest is offense. So as he did what he likes doing never gets tired. So relax all the time and only do things you like.

Does Life have a purpose??

How often do we get up in the morning when we feel absolutely excited and then we go out to do many things. How often do we wake up with that energy inside us to go out and capture many things of the day. We often wake up the morning thinking “Ok I have one more day and I need to pass that as well and hope that today everything gets along well”. And the only reason is that there are many a time no purpose behind what we are doing.. Think for a minute how you plan a picnic or a nice vacation. You much ahead decide the place, decide on what kind of hotel you want to stay, decide what mode of transportation that you need to take. And is there a specific reason for picking a kind of place, a specific time etc?? Is there a purpose. Whatever be it. Few say “to spend time with family”, “to relax and move against the noise”, “have a serene and peaceful time” etc. etc. and then once you know what is the purpose and what you want you start enjoying the whole process don’t you?? And when you plan so well for those 4 or 5 days when you are going to live for 29200 days (I averaged all of us living for 80 yrs) shouldn’t you plan even more better??? Life truly has a purpose. Understand that purpose and always move towards it. You will definitely find a new found interest in life. Live with Passion & Live with Purpose.
