RE-KINDLE YOUR MOTIVATION

A life full of progress and excitement is an ultimate goal we all aspire for. Each day we work towards achieving new heights and fulfilling our dreams.

Its an amazing feeling when we accomplish our goals one after the other, slowly but surely. Analyzing carefully what are your goals and desires, then having a constructive plan to move forward, would definitely take you towards fulfilling your goals and desires.
 

Sometimes it so happens that you are putting in lot of effort and hard work into everything you do but something somewhere seems to be not right. You realize that you are not getting the desired results and the energy around seems to be full of anxiety and unrest.
 

I have concluded that whenever we are going through this phase in life, we should re-focus and re-visit ourselves. Going by the human psychology, we all get inspired and motivated at the start of implementing the plans. There is a feeling of excitement, success and opportunity. With passage of time, while you work towards your goals, there are moments, people and feedback that is not that encouraging. All these factors sometimes demotivate you and then you start doubting your own potential.
 

Keeping in mind, that all individuals are different and they perceive life according to their own circumstances, it is not imperative that they share the same thought process as of your's. When you experience lack of motivation, things not working out according to your wish....this are the time to gather up your self esteem, believe in your potential and re-inspire yourself.
 

Few points you can ponder on when you are re-analyzing the situation:
 

1.  Are you doubting your potential and abilities just because of the comments and the behavior of other individuals?
 

2. Is it that you are emotionally dependent on someone's approval to move forward and pursue your goal?
 

3. Do you want things to work out at the blink of an eye and that is leading to frustration and anxiety?
 

4. Are you too much into thinking on how people are reacting to your progress?
 

5. Are you scared to leave your comfort zone?
 

I am sure there must be many more questions that cross our minds when we sit and think about the reasons, but surely these few I have mentioned above are going to help you out to find the root cause of the situation you are facing.
 

Steps that you might want to consider changing the situation and moving towards a result oriented approach:
 

1. Every moment when you feel negative thoughts are coming across your mind, immediately change it into positive thoughts. Force yourself to see that brighter side (there always is).With conscious practice it would be much easier.
 

2. Believe in yourself that you possess the potential within to accomplish what you can dream of. The fact is that whatever you think and do has limitless possibilities. So do not stop the "Thinking and Dreaming" followed by an action oriented approach.
 

3. Assure yourself that your ideas can be crazy for someone else but if you believe in those, The Universe has given you enough power to change it into reality and live your dreams.
 

4. Positive affirmations are so powerful. With every conscious step you take, tell yourself something positive about yourself.
 

5. Reading good books and literature can really empower you. Take out time to read good books and autobiographies. You never know what can show you the way that you have been asking the universe for.
 

6. Before you hit the bed remind yourself of your goals and then when you wake up, embrace what a beautiful day you have been blessed with for you to take steps towards the fulfillment of your dreams...every moment in a day counts!!!
 

7. Meditation and Visualization guides you through in your achieving your goals. Understanding and analyzing the facts about a situation can help us to rectify it and come out of it productively. Don’t give in to the negative energies around so easily.
 

Keep re-inspiring yourself periodically so that you can keep yourself motivated and full of positive energy.
 

Your actions governed by your thinking and energy you possess would determine how easily you can fulfill your goals.
 

Re-invent yourself - as you are indeed a special individual with a purpose!!!
 

Inspire and motivate individuals whenever you can, accomplish your dreams and help others to realize their purpose as well.
 

Stay Blessed

 

Focus and Faith

Each one of us has been blessed with so much energy that we have the capability to achieve whatever we set our minds on.

A beautiful quote by a Blessed Soul:

"God never takes time to build a Nobody. Everybody Universe creates is to be Somebody".  So "Be Somebody".

 

Often we are so busy sorting out challenges and issues due to which we go through lots of stress and pain and eventually we forget the purpose of our being and find our lives full of discontentment and worries. In a nutshell, we are so busy worrying about the "Thorns" that we don't see the "Roses" that are so beautiful.

The Energy provided to us by the universe is so powerful that we need to spend time on ourselves to evaluate our strengths and to identify our individual ultimate destination in this beautiful journey. Every individual has been blessed with the  power and energy to shape up their life the way  that they want to.
 

In this journey to "Be Somebody", every moment you spend consciously and with full awareness, will ultimately provide you the much sought after Bliss.
 

When you start making a conscious choice of  every single minute of your day, you can feel the inner happiness, contentment and immense bliss.There is magic in your words, your looks, your walk...as a matter of fact you are full of charisma, that reflects in you.
 

Definitely there are times when we find things are not going the way we want, that is the time when we have to make sure we are not loosing our "Focus and Faith".
 

Focus is an asset that every individual needs to have, to accomplish their goals. Act as the "Lion" who is out to hunt and then Focuses on a  Single Deer in a herd. The "Focus" enables the lion to zero in on the Aim whereas other Deer in the herd dim out. Then comes the Faith......the Faith that whatever I have zeroed in on will be achieved.
 

Don't bother spending time cribbing about the little setbacks in this journey....Live Life as you have never lived before, Spread your infectious warmth everywhere you go. Never compromise on your self esteem or cater to the feelings of inferiority. The Universe has given each one of us the "Power" to carve a niche in this lifetime. Take a moment to acknowledge and put your hands on to that. Recognize your strengths and empower yourself . Start working on the identified weaknesses to accomplish your aim.

You are an amazing soul that The Universe has designed to "Be Somebody".

Continue your amazing Journey with Focus and Faith...............

Stay Blessed

ELIMINATING NEGATIVITY

The cycle of good, is broken by a single act of negativity. The cycle of negativity is stopped by choosing the good -- not just once, but again and again until it is goodness that prevails in your life and in our world altogether.

                                                                                    John Morton

 

Our emotions and actions are governed by our feelings . To progress and be happy we should surround ourselves with positivity. Most of the times practical implementation of Positive thoughts is not all that easy. A number of articles and books say that we should always surround ourselves with positive people and positive environment. When I applied this knowledge in my day to day life, I must admit that it does not seem practical. Then I came across a wonderful word "Awareness". Although I had read it a number of times I did not realize the potential strength of the meaning.

 

 "You have got only one life to live -  don't spill it"
                                                                                      Robert Schuller

 

Understanding the meaning of the word "awareness" is so important because when we live every moment with full awareness then only we realise how are we responding to the situations in our daily routine.

 

To live positively and eliminate the negativity out of our system we have to work our mind continuously. As soon as we find ourselves carried away  with the flow of the events, not realising that negative thoughts have already started to dominate at that very moment, we need to take a break -  "Time alone". Sit back, relax and change your thought process with full Awareness. A renowned author once used the phrase "Turn on the Dial" that means always keep on reminding yourself to switch your thoughts to positive ones, and that too with full Awareness.

 

"Today evil spirits are seen as negativity which floats around the Earth in large quantities"

                                                                                       Scott Cunningham

 

We can start practising this with meditation and periodically taking some time out for ourselves "Time Alone". Acknowledging  the fact, that we are going through negative emotions and feelings is the first step towards eliminating those thoughts. This is the First Step of Awareness. Next is to flush out these negative emotions and instead feed ourselves with positive affirmations and emotions. Each one of us goes through situations and problems at different stages of life, but the skills we master consciously and with full awareness, to counter these situations, help to live life in complete harmony.

When you are aware of the thoughts going in your mind, you can better take control of the situation and change the outcome. Taking control of your thoughts would not only help you to have a positive outlook but also let you see things with a wider perspective.

 

What we focus on, we empower and enlarge. "Good" multiplies when focused upon and "Negativity" multiplies when focused upon. The choice is ours: Which do we want more of?

 

Wishing you every moment of life, full of positivity and abundance.

Increment to Your Potential

I came across a wonderful statement by a well known individual and then made a conscious effort to implement this in my daily routine.

 

The statement is:

 

"Grow yourself and your potential everyday, bit by bit"

 

If you decide to implement this in your lives, I can assure that after few days of consistent and conscious practice you can see the positive difference you have made in your lives. Amazingly, we can apply this rule  in each and every aspect of our lives. Each one of us has the potential to set our minds on whatever we yearn to achieve with full awareness and then progress every moment. In the process we overcome the limitations set by our own mind.

 

Belief and Visualization are the integral part of the self improvement process. Now comes the point wherein you have to start working for yourself, decide and act. Make sure you put in a little more effort to do a bit more than you think you can do. By doing so, you not only make positive progress towards your goals, but also overcome the limitations that are set in our mind. You would be amazed to see the progress you will make with this practice.

 

""Each one of us has the "power" we never dreamt of. Each one of us can do things we never thought we could do. There are no limitations in what we can do except the limitations of our own mind.""

                                                                               Darwin P. Kingsley

Positive affirmations are so powerful in this process of Self Improvement. Start the practice of "Growing yourselves and your potential" and implement this in all situations you may encounter in a day. It doesn't matter whether its in your personal,social or professional  life.

 

Limits to the "Potential within" each individual are set by his/her own thoughts but definitely the thought process is influenced by the brought up and the values that have been given throughout his/her life.

 

Living each and every moment of your life with full passion and enjoyment is the key to happiness. Whatever you are filled up with inside you, that is what you radiate and give out to others.

 

"There is no Challenge more challenging than the challenge to improve yourself"

                                                                                     Michael F Staley 

So dare to challenge yourself every morning to do a bit more positive  than what you did yesterday and feel the bliss.

 

Even while writing these beautiful words I am feeling so happy and contented. I pray for bliss and happiness for all and may you always wrap up your day with a feeling of achievement and a desire to  do  bit more the following day.

Enjoy the Bliss

EMBRACING THE CHANGE

When you are embodied in a location, in a physical plant, in a set of people, and in a common history, that constrains your evolution and your ability to evolve in certain directions.
                                                                                      Kevin Kelly

The process of evolving yourself over the years, is a creative process that requires willingness and consious awareness.

For personal growth and self- improvement we need to evaluate what are our strong attributes and whar are the shortcomings we are facing in our lives at this present moment.

By being receptive and open to new ideas we have the possibility to tread different paths that can eventually lead to a better and fulfilled life. With  the passage of time, we tend to develop a comfort zone. This comfort zone or should I call it a "narrow minded" approach might not be that easy to break through. By limiting ourselves into this "comfort zone" we eventually limit the realm possibilities that exist that could lead to a fuilfilled life.

Personally, my challenge is to embrace the change that comes with something new in my life. I keep myself motivated and encouraged to embrace the change due to the realization that any change will actually help me eveolve as a person.

For some individuals embracing any change is very easy, they just go with the flow of life.  But for some, leaving the "mind restricted" comfort zone is not a smooth ride. Following the road to your dreams may take you through lots of emotional turmoil . You might come across the situations where you would revisit the choices and decisions you made in the past. With the attitude of "letting go" and strong belief that things are happening for your good helps you to embrace the change and evolve yourself as a successful individual.

During this journey there would be experiences that would leave good memories and some would teach you lessons for lifetime.

Making a concious choice to move forward towards a fulfilling life is a commitment that you make with your inner self and an individual should  keep moving towards it with positive self-talk and use of positive affirmations.

Take out time to talk to yourself everyday, understanding your desires deep inside and evolving yourself in this journey to enjoy life full of bliss and contentment.

Stay Blessed

RULES OF LIFE

         " Rules Of Life"

"Life is a grindstone. Whether it grinds us down or polishes us up depends on us".
                                                              Thomas L. Holdcroft

Have you ever wished that someone could have written down the "rules of life", for a beautiful life full of happiness and love?

Well sometimes we all wish for .....isn't it?? There are no special or generalized rules to life, as we all go through different circumstances and phases in our journey. It is our outlook towards different situations that changes with time, giving us a better  understanding of our priorities  in life.I believe that a simple approach towards life is the key towards happiness. Always maintain the good values that you have been brought up with and keep focus on what you want out of life. That is the foundation of your character and a stepping stone towards a blessed life.

"Life is 10 percent what you make it, and 90 percent how you take it".

                                                                                Irving Berlin

 

Every circumstance or situation you go through gives us a better understanding of "you" as an individual and makes you evolve as an better person.

It is said that "every cloud has a silver lining"....there are moments in our lives where everything seems to be perfect and there are some moments because of which we get our
"lifetime lessons". So everything we go through has a reason, its all in our mind how we are going to deal with that situation.

Always make a genuine effort to have a solution oriented approach towards life rather than problem oriented.As said by one author "if we look at a situation and focus on the solution to it, then make an action based strategy, half of the battle is already won".

On the other hand, if we continuously  focus on the problem then we are  doing nothing but putting all our energy to make it even more worse. It is all up to us how we see ourselves and how we want to enjoy every moment of being "Alive". Life is continuously providing us with new resources, new opportunities, it depends on us how to make the best out of it. 

Enjoy the bliss  and Celebrate each and every moment of being "Alive".

MIND CONDITIONING

"Fears are educated into us, and can, if we wish, be educated out."
Karl Augustus Menninger

It is amazing how we all are so occupied in our daily chores that we sometimes overlook the simple joys of life. There are times when the daily dose of inspiration comes from unexpected quarters. I am feeling so blessed as yesterday my kids were source of my motivation and inspiration. Both of them were trying to demonstrate an acrobatic activity and were very scared initially. It was amazing to see how they overcame fear and turned it into Motivation. Both of them would shout "Ahhhhhh" before the jump......the "Ahhhhhh" was supposed to get rid of the fear and then followed by the jump. It was a small jump, but with a Big lesson for me.

We unknowingly complicate things so much that we have totally forgotten the simple ways to enjoy our life, without stress. Before embarking on anything new and challenging there's a feeling of Fear that overpowers most of us that results in unfulfilled desires and dreams. Due to the feeling of fear of the unknown a lot of us refrain ourselves from embarking on new avenues that we have been yearning for a long time.

Take out the "ME TIME" for yourselves, then think about the feeling that held you back from doing something that you always wanted to do. Analyze the feeling and then consciously take steps to achieve what you have yearned for so long.

For my kids shouting out "Ahhhhh" helped them to overcome the inner fear and after what they achieved there was a expression of satisfaction and happiness. Its as simple as that.

Make a genuine effort to overcome your inner fears. These are the mental blocks that we have conditioned our minds through our years of growing up. We all need to take small steps towards breaking through these Inner Fears and notice the difference in our Self Being.

The key here is to be aware of your aim, risks and the inner fear. Conscious steps towards the Aim by overcoming fear will lead to success and eventual happiness and Bliss.

Everything we set our mind on, is achievable, we just need to be aware of the choices we are making. Feeling of "fear" is nothing but the limitations we have set for ourselves in our minds. Get motivated to overcome the fear and see what this beautiful Life has to offer you."
