Enthusiasm:
We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements
of life. All that we need to make us happy is something to be
enthusiastic about. - Albert Einstein
That is why even when people get all the luxury and the riches
they are still unhappy because thats not what people actually
want always. May be for a few luxury is important and that can be
attained easily if you chase your dream. But when you get, you
will not know what to do with that and wait something more
exciting in life.
What you need in life is something that you will die for. You
must be ready to give anything to do it. If you can do that then
thats what defines your life. For example I'll do anything for
the sake of Training. Have forgone so many things in life. I dont
see them as compromises in life but thats a conscious choice I
had made because training and transforming lives is near and dear
to me. Thats what keep me going on and on forever!
"If you're trying to build for the future, you must build its
foundation strong.” - Robin Hood
When I look at the tall buildings I always wonder how they so
comfortably stand so tall and mighty. They look gorgeous. But we
do not know what goes into the making of the tall building.
If you look at most of thet all buildings the foundation is so
strong. we are not able to see it but then it is probably the
most important component of the building that makes the building
stand tall.
Likewise when we see so many successful people achieve so much
in their life we forget to see whats the root and the foundation
for them. The foundation for every person are a set of few things
such as "Goals - knowing what you want in life, Belief - that you
will achieve , the fire within - that pushes you to higher and
higer". If you possess these then you go great heights!
So build up a strong foundation!
The man who has no imagination has no wings - Muhammad Ali
Only the power of imagination can take you to greater heights.
When you have the imagination then you start achieving greater
results in life. Why do you want to restrict yourself to smaller
things? Start thinking big now and achieve more in life.
Everyone has imaginations but believing in them and achieving
the same is more important. Have you heard of people say 'I had
this idea before and if only I had put them to action then I
would have been the same'. So what stopped them from taking
action? Its lack of self belief and fear of losing.
So start taking action on your imaginations!
Brick walls and reasons of breaking them:Brick walls are there for a reason: they let us prove how badly
we want things.
Everyone in the world who wants better results in life has
challenges. If there are no challenges then life becomes so
boring. These brick walls are there for a purpose and a reason.
It is to test your capabilities and your power. Your strengths
are put to test.
When you want to achieve something in life then there will be
challenges ahead of you. You have to equip yourself to handle
these with grace and with might. Its only those people who stand
tall and face these break the wall and go beyond.
And its always the first time. When you break it once then you
have no fear in the future and you can handle anything that comes
your way. This is the ultimate secret of all those who are
successful in life.
Self denial and cause of failure:Never act in Self Denial as I believe its like cheating
yourself. When you know that things are not happening then its
better to accept it and then find alternatives. If you act in
denial then you do not progress and only the worse happens.
Acknowledge the fact that something is wrong and that you need to
take action. That is the art of taking responsibility and great
leadership.
When there is a failure then its a failure. Never deceive
yourself into saying that everything is alright, its all fine
etc. When you know that things are not happening, in the wake of
ensuring that you do not blame or give excuses there are many who
hide themselves in an enclosure around them (an imaginary one)
and do not want to take the bullets. However this later results
in self destruction. Your are totally destructing the idea of
moving ahead in life!
so stop your denial, accept failures and take responsibility and
act with courage!
People and resource:In my recent learning of being in a leadership role I figured
there are various ways of achieving what I want especially from
people. But first understand that no two people are the same. The
way you deal with one has to be different from others. When you
say, I told guy X and he did but Y did not do the same remember
"Map is not the territory". Each of them not carry the same
mental frame work all.
The internal maps that each individual carries is based on their
past perceptions and experiences. So you have to handle them
differently. So when you understand them thats when you start
performing better with them. Find out their driving values and
appropriately drive them. They will start producing better
results in life!
Dreams and reality:
When you are chasing a dream you never know how long you need to
run. Its never a short cut to success especially when you dream
is big. So unless you are passionate about your dream and hell
bent on making your dream come true you will not give your best.
Half way through you may get dejected, get frustrated and give up
your dream.
But thats not what life is meant to be. If your dream is so
purposeful and a must for you, definitely you will run. There are
no second thoughts to it. When you are chased by a hungry tiger,
come what may you will run and your dream should be such. You
must have the hunger and the drive to achieve great things and
chase your dream.So start chasing your dream.
The power of visualization with eyes closed:
This is an amazing but true story about the power
of visualization.
Many, many years ago, a young boy happened to walk
by a newspaper publishing office. He stopped and peered through the
window and was amazed at the activity he saw in the office.
The activity that surrounded one man in the office especially
interested him. It was the chief editor of the newspaper. The
young boy watched in amazement as the editor barked orders to the
employees around him.
The boy sensed the power that the chief editor possessed - how the
entire newspaper enterprise seemed to revolve around him. The young
boy began to visualize himself as that editor.
Every day he pictured himself as the editor of that newspaper;
he dreamed about it at night. He created a detailed vision in his
mind of himself in that editor's chair, it was almost like he had
created a vivid color movie that he played back in his mind every night.
This is the most important part of this story.
The movie that this young boy played in his mind every night slowly
began to manifest itself in the real world. The young boy got a
part time job at newspaper publishing company. The part time job
turned into a full time job as an editor.
Who was that young boy?
His name was Roger Ferger.
Not only did he become the editor of a large newspaper, he eventually
went on to become the owner and publisher of the Cincinnati Inquirer,
one of the largest newspaper empires in the country today.Are you visualizing who you want to become?
Being crippled and snobbing self:
My body could stand the crutches but my mind couldn't stand
the sideline.
- Michael Jordan
Most of the times we are handicapped in our mind. It is not
what we cannot, it is what we think we cannot that makes a
difference. There was an incident in a hospital in US where
there were a set of people, who were ill and not well. There
are bed ridden for a long time and refused to step out of
the bed thinking that they could not.
Then a miracle happened... there was a fire in the
hospital. Well that was not the miracle, the miracle was
that more than 90% of the people ran out of the hospital to
save themselves. What made them run?
The Fire and not always will there be an external fire to
make us run. We need to kindle the internal fire and run in
life else we get crippled. Do you want to be crippled in
your life? Its your choice?
