Qualify yourself for Big Dreams by Becoming first the most valuable person!

"Life puts some of the good things on the high shelf and until you qualify, you can't reach them. To reach the high shelf, you must first become the most attractive and valuable person." Jim Rohn


To attract success you must qualify yourself by becoming the most valuable person in the world. First and foremost choose to become the person who you would like to see yourself. It is possible to qualify for big dreams because it is simple and easy to become the most significant individual if you follow certain disciplines everyday.

Bill Gates qualified himself for big dreams though he didn't graduate from the university. How is that possible? Yes, of course, that was within his capacity to aim for the big job. He first chose to become the most valuable person in the world; he became qualified and educated person in the field he loved most. There are others who have significantly grown big and achieved big results by following the same simple rules. You can qualify for big roles if you choose to become the person of high capability and value.

Your value will increase if you knowingly choose to be a great person first. Become qualified and informed first and you will be surprised to see the good things flowing towards you.

Steve Jobs is another example who qualified for the big dreams by becoming the most valuable person. He practiced and followed his interests and new path of success opened for him too.

The soccer teams get selected for the world cup only because they qualify by playing some matches outstandingly. If they don't qualify themselves first by becoming outstanding team, they don't participate in the world cup. Only those teams which qualify can partake in the match. It is obvious that you must choose to become the most qualified person, most learned and informed individual on earth so that you can reach the top level of success, wealth, health, happiness and lifestyle.

The singers and musicians are famous because they qualified for the big dreams by becoming first the most valuable person in their field. They worked hard on themselves. They refined their singing and playing skills. They practiced many times till they became what they were looking for. Become first the most valuable person to reach the things of high value and quality. You can do it too.

Shake Off negative and toxic people from your life!

The trees shed off their leaves every year in order to have new leaves for the new year in the same manner snakes too shed off their old skins to welcome the new one. For nature shaking off old things come naturally but for humans it takes conscious efforts to do that.

People must upgrade constantly their circle of friends, associates, employers, clients and those who are poisonous in nature. The toxic people affect us so much that even an exposure of brief moment can influence our thinking, believing and action. Here are some good questions to ponder about our association with such people.

1. Who are you around?
Ask yourself every now and then, who am I around? Take a stock of people who you spend your most time with. What kind of people are they? Are they negative and toxic or are they positive? The saying goes, 'show me your friends and I will tell you who you are and what you are learning and getting in life.'

Near my house there is a college and a lot of students are studying there. The students are very young yet seem to know many things. I have observed some strange behaviours among these students. Whenever I see them in groups I notice one thing, they all smoke cigarettes, eat marijuana and sniff something. There is no one student who doesn't smoke or drink. All these students go to college not to study but hang around with their peer groups and you can understand the influence they have on each other. They seem to know the consequences but they are caught up in the powerful web of negative influences that they all have ended in becoming 'the birds of a feather flock together.'

The similar circumstances exist in the offices all over the world. The working people have families, children and parents to take care of but they all forget about them and indulge in negative environment. Think deeply, who are you around most of the time? You will be like them and probably you will die the same way.

2. What are they doing to you?
When we associate with people with poisonous character, we tend to assume their personality, philosophy, beliefs, values and lifestyle. You know, they influence us and condition us so much that we begin to be like them. If they are broke, you will be broke; if they are smart and rich, you will be smart and rich; if they gossip and criticize, you will follow their steps and manners. So think about your circle of friends and associates, neighbours etc. to solve this problem.

The students who smoke cigarettes, eat marijuana etc. are doing what their friends are engaged in. After they graduate from the university they will continue in the workplace too. It is a never ending process. Instead of shaking off their negative friends they are holding on to them.


3. What have they got you reading?
People who are negative will influence you to do what they do, say what they say and read what they read. If they are angry, you will be angry more often. If they don't read books which could change one's life, then you won't read books too. Associate with positive and optimistic people who encourage and empower to pursue your dreams and goals. Go after your dreams and in order to achieve your goals learn to read some good books.

Reading books facilitate people to achieve what they want in life and so it is better to read books that could lead you to success and not failures.

4. What have they got you saying?
When you associate with negative people, your speaking style and vocabulary will be matched together because you will have acquired their skills through repetition. If the toxic people abuse and say bad words, you will follow their suits too.

The language becomes very negative and harsh when you meet people who are exposed to negative environment. They hardly show respect and politeness. Think about the young students, who are engaged in bad habits, they hardly bother to show some courtesy to throw the cigarette buds in the trash can rather they all dump them wherever they smoke.

5. Where do they have you going?
Negative people won't let you achieve your goals. They won't let you go where you decide to go because if you want to go somewhere, they will dissuade you from doing something good.

The toxic people pull you down and break you down from going and pursuing your goals and dreams. They will instantly say to you that the things won't work and won't do much. You would tend to agree with them because you have been influenced by their attitude and thinking.

6. What do they have you thinking?
The negative oriented people think only negative thoughts, ideas and life. They don't think positive as a result they don't get what they want. It is very subtle and easy to get involved in the negative atmosphere.

Your thoughts, mindsets and attitude will shift from positive to negative. You won't think you could accomplish much in life. You will then resign to mediocre lifestyle which you will loathe later in life. You will begin to curse once you are married with wife and kids because you would be failing to achieve what you wanted. Feed your mind with good stuffs, associate with people who are going somewhere and you can move ahead in life too.


7. What do they have you becoming?
Most importantly the negative people don't assist you become what you want to become. They help you become negative and poisonous but they don't really change your life for better. The reason you should shake off old negative people from your life is that by spending your time with them you are letting them make you unsuccessful and negative. They are controlling your life and not you.

Don't give away your power to somebody who can't live a life for you. You must live your own life. But beware of what you are becoming while you associate with negative environment.

The person you become will affect you for the rest of your life because you will be reaping the same results again and again. If you think that will make you happy then you can continue to associate yourself with the negative environment. However personal experience and knowledge show that living a life like that is hard.
The best thing you can do is to shake off people who are negative and toxic because they are doing you only harm.

When you have negative people around you, you must ask yourself the important question, "is that okay? is it alright for you to associate with negative people or is it better if you shake them off from your life? The choice is yours.

Employ These Powerful Leverages To Attract Success, Money, Health, Happiness, Peace, Love & Relationship!

Successful men and women all over the world apply different leverages attract whatever they want to be, do, have and enjoy. Without the leverages, no one can expect to rise up in life. Leverages are tools to reach one's targets and one person can have as many tools as he or she wishes to employ because leverages facilitate people to accomplish their goals and mission. Here are some of the important tools to consider.

1. Learn by reading Books.
People who are prosperous, rich, wealthy and happy obtained their shares of good things of life by learning from books. They read books on varieties of subjects and they stumbled upon some secrets or laws to produce any results they wanted to achieve. They followed this tool and today they are looked upon as role models, successful and rich. They made it to the top because they read books and acquired knowledge and information, which they converted them into leverages to attract wealth, health, peace, happiness, love and good relationship.

You can too read good books which can change your life for better. There are many people who have read certain books and brought about a great transformation in their life. Books enlighten and give direction to those who read them. For example-

Rhonda Byrne the author of the secret and the power, changed her life for success, abundance, prosperity and happiness after reading a book or many books. She was enlightened by reading the book called "The science of getting rich."

Narayan Murthy the founder of Infosys company, in his book "A better India, A better World" mentions how the direction of his life changed after reading some books or documents related to computer.

Anthony Robbins too changed his life after reading certain books and today he is famous, successful helping people all over the world.

Likewise, there are many people who have changed the direction of their life after reading some books. If you start this process, you can change your life for success, money, health, wealth and love too.

You only need to buy one book or enroll yourself in a library and borrow one book to kick start off your transforming journey.

2. Listen and learn from various audio programs.
Another tool that is very powerful is listening to different audio programs, which are available today in every book shop. These audio programs are powerful leverages that could open a door for many opportunities.

Those who don't like to read books, they can learn from listening to some valuable audio books. It is a great way of learning process and it is effective. Even if you don't have separate time for listening, you can listen while driving or traveling to office. You can make the best use of your time. Today people have mobile phones and most of them are equipped with MP3 players and you can download the audio books and listen as many times as you want. You will learn more than you learned in the school or colleges. You will gain the knowledge equivalent to 5 Phds.


3. Watch and learn from Videos.
If you are an individual who can't read or listen to audio books, then you have another alternative leverage to employ for your personal improvement. Watching videos are too very effective tools to change one's life. You can watch any movies or documentaries that teach you something valuable for life. You must watch videos which are educative, informative and inspiring. You mustn't watch any movies that entertain you because if you do so you will get entertained and miss the learning aspects that could change your life for success, wealth, happiness.

The movies like "The secret, The compass, Try it on everything" etc. could enlighten your mind to start with. They are effective if you believe they will work for you and if you are doubtful and cynical then they won't work for you. Remember all tools can work miracles for you if you believe them, feel them to be real and think that they are true for you. Don't listen to others who say or comment that they don't work. Yes, may be it didn't work for them but don't go by their opinions because it may work for you, who knows.


4. Attend and learn from live seminars.
Many of you, I guess, have university degrees and are proud of having the certificates. I am a gold medallist myself and I know what it feels to have one. But that is not everything. Academic education is different than what you learn when you attend the live seminars. In the seminar, experts and experienced men and women in respective fields, teach and share the wisdom pertaining to the real life and real education that could change your life.

We don't learn what we want in the schools and colleges.The seminars give us everything that we want to know about certain areas of life. There are many successful people who conduct seminars and you can attend any one and benefit from that. When you attend the seminar it will be an enlightening moment for you. Once you are enlightened, you will be inspired and empowered to take the action to realize your objectives.

5. Learn from guides, coaches, mentors and role models.

The final tool is very important in life. You can't achieve success much, if you don't have correct people in your life. You can't do much, if you don't associate with people who encourage, motivate, guide, empower, coach and mentor you directly or indirectly.

This leverage works when you have found your own guides, coaches, mentors and role models in areas you want to improve or succeed.

Jim Rohn, the famous American business coach, philosopher and businessman, changed the direction of his life when he met a man who became his mentor. His mentor was successful, rich and happy and Jim Rohn eventually became successful too.

There is power and magic in having your own guides, coaches, mentors and role models. Find out who do you admire and love? Who do you want to be like? What do you want to do that others have done? What do you want to accomplish that others have already achieved? How do you want to live that others are already living the lifestyle?

These are some of the important tools you can employ to attract success, money, health, happiness, love and relationship. You can't miss if you apply them daily but you can miss success, money, health, happiness, love and good relationship if you don't follow these disciplines. Tools are recommended and explained to you and it is up to you to apply in your life. There is a saying that says, 'we can take the horse to the water but we can't make it drink.' I have presented to you some life changing powerful leverages, hopefully you apply them and take steps to attract good things that you desire.

Are You Letting Others Steal Your Dreams?

"Don't let anybody steal your dream." –Dexter Yager

Each one born into this world has a dream, a purpose and vision to accomplish. Having a dream is not a crime rather not pursuing one's dream is a kind of crime.

When you were little kids, you shared your dreams with parents, relatives, friends, neighbours, teachers and others. You always thought your dreams were real and possible to reach. But people with whom you shared your dreams, reacted differently. Some right away encouraged you to follow your dreams, some others thought you were only kids so your dreams didn't matter much while others just stole your dreams by discouraging you.

People live and die with their dreams unfulfilled and unaccomplished because they don't have confidence and courage enough to pursue their dreams. So it is good to ask a question today, are you letting others steal your dreams? Have you followed your dreams and have you already achieved them?

Who steals your dreams?
When you share your dreams with parents, siblings, relatives, friends, teachers all of them either they allow you to go after your dreams or they just steal your dreams. You can be so innocent to share all your desires and dreams with others thinking that they will approve and encourage you to pursue them. But it is not the reality. The truth is that when you talk about your dreams, your parents, friends or teachers sow the negative seeds of impossibility and take you off the right course.

I remember a teenager who shared with me her dreams to own the ice-skating amusement park in the countries where there is no snowfall. She sketched how to make snow through out the year and how and why people would visit the park. Above all it was her dream there was nothing wrong or right about it. When I listened to her dreams, I was impressed. I quickly encouraged and told her that the dream was great. The dream emanated from her heart and she believed she could realize it. I then asked her to share the same dream with her mom so she agreed to tell her mom. She was excited and motivated enough. She didn't have any idea what her mother would think and tell her about the dream.

One day the teenager told her mother about the dream but she didn't get an encouraging response. Her mother told her that the dream was impossible, it needed huge capital and she didn't have any money and the dreams were so unrealistic that she wouldn't be able to realize it in her lifetime.The teenager gave up her dream immediately when her mother didn't think possible. The next day I asked her whether she had spoken to her mother about her dreams and she said yes but her mother thought the dream was not possible so she gave up.

This is how your dreams get stolen by your own people whom you trust, respect and love. Similarly thousands of dreams have been stolen all over the world without being fulfilled. Your friends too steal your dreams by telling you why and how the dreams are not possible. You believe them and compromise with your original dreams. You then try to fit in anywhere though you don't like them.

How you let others steal your dreams?
You let others steal your dreams by not believing yourselves, your ability and talents. You think others know more than you so you believe their comments and opinions accepting them to be true. The teenage girl believed her mother because the girl loved and respected her mother.

We must share our dreams with people who we think are good and positive. Even if we share with others, let's keep in mind all that others say matter less than what we say to ourselves in the silence of our heart. What others say are their opinions and views. We mustn't be carried away by them.

There are people who are very strong in giving their opinions and comments but they are not good for you.You must do your own research and study to modify or correct your dreams. Others don't see what you see so they won't have any idea about your dreams. You know better and more than they do so please follow and pursue your dreams till it is achieved.


When do others steal your dreams?
Your dreams are stolen when you are not confident and when you don't believe yourselves enough. Others steal your dreams when you share with anybody without much thinking how others reaction would affect you. I guess you must be strong and firm in your dreams. You mustn't give up by all means though you may not realize them immediately.

Others steal your dreams when you don't value your ability and talents. You need to consider your dreams, purpose and vision important. So share with people who will encourage and motivate you to go after the dreams.

Others kill your dreams when you don't learn continuously how others who are successful realized their dream. You must cultivate a habit of learning and educating yourself from all 360 degree angles.


Why you must follow your dreams?
There are many reasons why you must follow your dreams. One of the first reasons is that your dream reflects your true self and your real lifestyle. The dreams represent who you are and what you are. So you must pursue them.

The world is filled with people who have pursued their unique dreams and there are others who didn't pursue them. Those who didn't pursue their dreams died and went to the grave without realizing them. There are many examples of people who have pursued their dreams and accomplished them. Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Colonel Sanders, the Wright brothers, Henry Ford, Mahatma Gandhi, and many successful men and women who you can learn from.

Never ever give up your dreams because you can realize them at an appointed time. You will reach your goals and realize the dreams that you have. So don't let others steal your dreams. Dream killers are many but those who make them real are few so better make up your mind to pursue your dreams till it is done. Believe that you will succeed in realizing your dreams.

The Five Laws of Money, Abundance, Prosperity, Freedom and Happiness!

People who have more money, abundance, prosperity they know well the laws of money. The wisdom of the ages do provide us with a helping hand to live a prosperous, rich, free and happy life. We may have traveled much, learned much, laboured much and earned much but if we have little money then we have been following unwise advice.

People have more money when they know the five laws of money and adhere to them. However wealth that comes quickly goes the same way, as the saying goes. George S. Clason said, "wealth that stays to give enjoyment and satisfaction to its owner comes gradually, because it a child born of knowledge and persistent purpose."

These five laws of money are important and meaningful today more than ever for people who are messed up in life with regards to money transactions. It can help the young people who are just stepping into the real world and the couples or singles who are already in the world experiencing tough times.

The First of Law of Money
"Money comes gladly and in increasing quantity to those who will put one-tenth of their earnings to create an abundance for their future and that of their family."

If you plan to pay yourself first one-tenth after every paycheck consistently, invest it wisely and follow this plan minutely, the plan will bring you future prosperity. Set aside that percentage of your income as yours to keep. Those who do keep one-tenth and don't spend is good for their families. But those who spend it are indifferent to their families. And still those who have not saved anything are unkind and disloyal to their families.They don't seem to love themselves and their lovely families.

The Second Law of Money
'Set aside the seven-tenths of all you earn to provide for you and your family a home, clothes to wear, food to eat, cars to buy, vacation and entertainment to have so that you don't miss any enjoyment and pleasure.'

Keep in mind that you should not spend more than seven-tenths of what you earn for these essential things of life. You must live upon the allotted portion and never use more or buy what you may not be able to pay for out of this portion. This is a great secret for those struggling financially.

"Money works and labours diligently and contentedly for the wise owner who finds for it profitable jobs."

Many of us know that only humans must work. It is not so today. Your talents, skills, ideas, thoughts, plans, qualification, training, money, patents, royalties, dividends, interests and profits etc can work as hard as you leverage them according to your capacity.

Money is a willing worker. It is ever ready to multiply when opportunity comes. It is a known and accepted fact that those who have the habit and discipline of setting aside a portion of their total income, nice opportunities present themselves for more profitable investment returns.

The Third Law of Money
'The two-tenths of all you earn should be divided honorably and fairly among all your creditors who you are indebted.'

When you divide equally the two-tenths to pay back your debts, any amount of debts could be easily paid without much pain and stress or struggle. Your banker won't threaten or blackmail you if you come up with a proposal to pay every month or quarter some fixed amount. You must write down all the names of people from who you borrowed money for your personal needs and allocate the money fairly. Mark my word, in due time you will have paid back all your creditors.

"Money clings and protects the cautious owner who invests it under the advice of wise men who deal with such investments themselves."

Money stays with the wise owner but flees the careless owner. The wise owner learns as much as he can from other experts and follows his own gut and intuition to discern its truthfulness.

The Fourth Law of Money
Money slips away from those who invest it in businesses which they are not so familiar with or which are not approved by those skilled and wise people.'

The inexperienced owners or those who don't educate themselves about the financial matter, lose their hard earned money in mutual funds or stock markets. Mutual funds and pension funds are not the best investment portfolios because they are highly risk oriented. You don't have any direct control over your investment. You handover your money to the third party and pray for the money to work hard for you. When the stock market crashes, you can do nothing than to sit and cry over the loss.

The Fifth Law of Money
'Money flees those who force it to work hard and bring impossible earnings and dividends or who follow the tempting advice of frauds and schemers or who trust their money to their own inexperience and romantic desires and fancies.'

If you have followed these five laws of money, you can have abundance, prosperity, wealth, freedom and happiness. Be true to pay yourself one-tenth, pay seven-tenths to run the family, and pay two-tenths to all your creditors fairly to pay off your debts. Once you have paid back all your debts, your burden will be light and you will feel energetic and free to live a great life once more.

Remember, 'in the strength of your own desires lies a magic power. Follow this power with your knowledge of the five laws of money and you shall be able to inherit almost everything that your heart truly desires.

To be rich and financially free follow 'the Law of Opposites'!

"Find out what most people are doing and then do the exact opposite". Jamie McIntyre

People who succeed are those who do just the opposite of others or do things differently. To be successful you must learn to follow the law of opposites to see a great difference in your life. Let's explore some of the opposites.

Mind your own businesses than others.
95% of world population work for others minding others' businesses than their own while 5% of people work for themselves and mind their businesses. This is how the world is operating today by the law of opposites. It is like the king who would always think about maintaining his own power and dominion over his people and enjoying the greatest benefits of life than his own people.

To become rich and financially free, you must do the opposite things to your counterparts. When you choose to do things differently than others you gain an edge over others. By following the law of opposites you can create lifestyle of your dreams. We must see what are the opposites that affect us so much.

Profits are better than wages.
By experiences and knowledge we know that working for profits mean more than wages but how many people do really care enough to pursue this path. Those who pursue are the people who have become rich, successful and wealthy. They followed the law of opposites and did just the opposites. When majority of people worked hard to earn wages, they chose to find ways to earn profits so that they could realize their own dreams.

Being a bank is better than a customer.
When you loan the banks your money in the form of deposits they consider it as savings and pay you less interest; on the other hand, if the bank gives you a loan, they lend you with high interest rates. Who has got more edge? Obviously, it is the bank. The banks are there not for the customers but for the banks alone. They play by different rules than the customers. But how many people really would like to do just the opposites? There are only very few people who understand the laws of nature and the human world.

Formal education and Self-education.
The academic education provides people jobs and jobs in turn provide a living. If people don't work at jobs they won't be able to feed themselves and their survival will be bleak. But people who seek self-education, they get inspired and empowered to make a fortune for themselves. The large number of population values formal education while few value self-education. Those who do the opposite gain much in life.

Pay oneself first or pay others first.
After getting the pay, people have a choice to make whether to pay for oneself first or pay others first. Those who understand the law, they prefer to pay themselves first one tenth of their income than the others who don't pay themselves first rather pay for everyone. If you want to become rich and lead an abundant life you must do just the opposite. Pay yourself first one tenth of your total income. The rich follow this honestly.

Acquire assets first than liabilities.
The rich know that assets that bring money in their pockets are more important than the liabilities that take money out of their pockets. They spend their time, energy and money in acquiring assets that would bring constant cash flow through out their lives but the poor and middle class buy liabilities that don't ensure future financial freedom. The rich understand the difference between the good debts and bad debts and follow accordingly.

Life would be transformed if we did things differently than what we used to do. If you have the habit of wasting your time and you decide to make use the best use of your time, you can easily see a great change coming on your way for better. Learn to think differently, talk differently, read and learn from others, take actions and you will be a great success in your life.

The Cures for the Empty Bank Balance! (Part three Concluded)

In the first and second articles I highlighted some of the cures for the zero bank balance or lean purse. We all of us have desires and ambitions for wealth, prosperity and abundance. There is nothing wrong in having those desires and ambitions as long as we pursue with good sense. We need to adhere to these cures in the time of recession. These cures have personally helped me tremendously and I am richly rewarded by developing my skills and powers. Hopefully, they do for you too.

1. Find out what you love and work with diligence everyday.

2. Pay yourself first one tenth of your total income to achieve financial abundance and fortune.

3. Pay others second the nine-tenths of your total income

4. What do you desire the most assets or liabilities?

5. Teach yourself to control the unnecessary expenses on your desires.

6. Make your money work and multiply for you.

7. Protect your money and treasures from loss.


8. Increase and Develop your ability to earn.

"Work harder on yourself than on your job. If you work on your job you make a living, but if you work on yourself, you get a fortune." Jim Rohn

This is one of the most vital remedies for a lean purse. It is important to talk of things within the human minds which can work for or against our success. Your desires and ambitions should be strong and definite to earn first in small sums, then in larger ones as you learn and become more capable.

As you refine and improve yourself in your vocation so will your ability to earn increase. May be you need to cultivate more interest in your work, more concentration upon your task and more persistence in your effort. It is said,"The more of wisdom we know, the more we may earn." The person who seeks to learn more of his craft shall be richly rewarded.

Jim Rohn was right when he said, "To have more than you have got, you've got to become more than you are." To have more, to earn more, you must become more skillful, more knowledgeable, more educated and more refined to attract more abundance. Wealth rarely comes to people who don't become more to earn more. For instance, poor people remain poor because they don't become more qualified, skillful and valuable to the market place to attract more prosperity.

So remember to improve yourself first to attract more wealth so that you can control how you want to live. The remedy for an empty bank balance is to cultivate your own powers, skills and become wiser, become more qualified and valuable.

The Cures for the Empty Bank Balance! (Part two)

Yesterday, I recommended the cures for the lean purse by earning an income and then paying yourself first one tenth of your total income and thereby paying others the nine-tenths while budgeting your money for necessary expenses and desires. You have learned now how to pay yourself first and how to use other nine-tenths. Paying yourself first is a beautiful discipline that you can cultivate and over the period enough wealth will be accumulated. What to do with that accumulated money? That is the next cure for lean purse.

6. Make your money work and multiply for you.

Just like you seek jobs or trades for yourself in order to earn some money, you have to find some employment for your one tenth of accumulated money to labour for you. You have to find some profitable investments but be warned of the possibility of loss. Do your own study, research and calculation and don't ever blindly handover your precious capital to the mutual fund companies or stock traders when you don't have a direct control over your investments.

You must look for some good investment vehicles, which suit your level of skills, knowledge and interest. Some people invest the capital in their own businesses that they start and multiply the seed money through profits and returns. Some invest only in assets that put money in their pockets every day or every month constantly. Make sure to multiply your capital by investing in assets from your perspective and not from the bankers point of view. What is an asset for one can be a liability for the other.

Your real wealth will be not the money in the bank balance but it is the income system that you build and flows to you continually as golden stream is your real wealth. When there is a constant money flow in than money flow out, there happens a miracle of multiplication of wealth. As you grow in experiences and your wealth multiplies, you can invest in multiple streams of income to attract the constant cash flow.

7. Protect your money and treasures from loss.

From the experiences of others and yours, you can easily make a strategic plans to protect your wealth because they are the fruits of your own labour and skills. It is your duty to protect it from loss of any kind. Before you loan your money to somebody, check their ability to repay you. Or before entrusting your money in any field of investments acquaint yourself with the dangers involved. Calculate the ratio of risks and rewards.

The new super markets in the city, the casinos, the large malls, the movie theatres, the hospitals, the education institutes, the governmental taxes, the fast food restaurants and food chains, the airlines, the cars, buses and tourism industries and many more industries are there to grab a share of your earnings and at times it can be tempting to given in and lose all your money. Because when your desires will overpower you, you can't do much other than swiping your credit cards randomly.

Don't be over confident of your own wisdom and experiences in entrusting your money to others. At the same time don't just consult anybody in the market place what do they think about the investment opportunities because advice is cheap and available everywhere. Consult the right people who are engaged in such trades themselves.

It is important to prevent your purse from being emptied once it has become full. Invest in places where you can get back your capital. Consult with wise men. People will flock to you with their investment vehicles but don't get lured because many people are working hard to earn their fat commission from your investments.

The Cures for the Empty Bank Balance! (Part one)

"Ahead of you stretches your future, like a road leading into the distance. Along that road are ambitions you wish to accomplish...desires you wish to gratify." George S. Clason

The moment children are born into this world, they carry with them the seeds of ambitions and desires to cultivate the land, reap the crops and enjoy its fruits. In the modern time, children are born into a new world where money has become the medium by which earthly success, happiness and the quality of life are measured.

These children are fortunate as well as unfortunate to get the education about the laws of money. In the past, a craftsman passed on his skills of making fortunes on any particular trades to his children and upon learning such invaluable trade skills the children continued the trades that their father did.

Today, many parents don't teach their children the necessary skills to make a fortune. They send their kids to schools and expect others to teach their children some trade skills so that they could earn an income to take care of the family. This is not enough. The children are not taught how the money is earned, kept and multiplied as a result many people today have negative bank balance. Their bank accounts are empty. Their purses are lean.

Here below I discuss some cures for the lean bank balance or empty pocket. When people fall sick, they rush to the doctors for cures but when they are broke they can't rush to banks because banks are not the problem solving entities. When people have empty bank account, they have nowhere to go for cures but themselves. To bring their ambitions and desires to fulfillment, the children must be successful with money today.

1. Find out what you love and work with diligence everyday.

To bring your ambitions and desires to fulfillment you must seek what you love and work on it diligently everyday so that you can earn some income. Based on your skills, abilities, unique talents and interests, level of qualification and education, you can find jobs or businesses that you believe is the passion for you. You may have to work month after month but you must keep your work daily.

Everybody has some work or the other and everybody receives a share of payment according to their capacity and bargain. Even at a small job, you have the opportunity to build a fortune if you truly desire so. After you earn money from your respective trades, you must know what to do with your payments and that is the next cure for your lean purse.

2. Pay yourself first one tenth of your total income to achieve financial abundance and fortune.

If you desire to build a fortune or achieve a financial freedom, you must cultivate a discipline to pay yourself first a part of what you earn as yours to keep. After getting your payment or salaries or profits and dividends, you must immediately take one tenth of your earnings and deposit it in the fortune or financial freedom account to accumulate. No matter how bad the circumstances may be, you must follow this principle day by day, week by week, month by month and year by year and your bank balance will begin to fatten automatically and you can build your fortune. You can be creative enough to divide this one tenth of your income into savings, investment and charities.

Don't act too smart to keep all you earn as yours to hoard because the law never works that way. Of course you can increase your quarter if you make more money but be true to the law of paying yourself first in all circumstances throughout your lifetime.

Remember, a part of all you earn is yours to keep so pay yourself well. Ask yourself, if you love yourself, you must pay yourself first.

3. Pay others second the nine-tenths of your total income.

Many people are very good on this. They have learned from childhood to pay for others that they forget about paying themselves first. Of course, there is nothing bad about paying others but there is only one error and that is if you don't pay yourself first, you will be broke and caught in credit card debts.

People pay for others first and they have nothing left for themselves. They pay the supermarkets to buy groceries, they pay restaurant owners to eat food, they pay airline companies for travel, they pay schools and colleges for education, they pay governments in the form of taxes, they pay internet service providers and electricity, gas, water and many other services. The people also pay the clothe merchant for the purchase of clothes and the banks in the form of interests, mortgage etc. The nine-tenths of your income is used to look after other people in order to survive. It seems strange to me that people pay for everybody and they work harder and harder and sometimes they do two or three jobs just to pay others.

If you don't pay for others, they will come knocking your doors and at times they can even sue you for failing to pay them. It is a strange world because all through out your life you labour for others. You spend your time, energy and skills to give away all that supposed to be yours legally but other people snatch away your earnings legally too. So be careful, who you pay and who really deserves. Control your unnecessary desires and gratify only those you really think deserve.

Today there is a credit card system, which facilitates people to pay for only others first and not oneself. The credit card has created the recent recession and people are struggling to pay for others.

4. What do you desire the most assets or liabilities?

What do you desire the most? Is it a liability- the instant gratification of your desires of each day, may be a jewel, a finery, fast cars, more fast food, gadgets, clothes, things quickly gone and forgotten? Or is it an asset- the substantial belongings, gold, silver, lands, flats herds, merchandise, commodities or income-bringing businesses and investments? Remember the one tenth of money that you keep as yours will earn assets that will generate constant cash flow for you while the nine-tenths of money you pay for others will only give instant gratification and soon you will be hungry and thirsty wanting and searching for the next day.

5. Teach yourself to control the unnecessary expenses on your desires.

Your bank balance is empty because you give away all your earnings to others and don't keep anything for your fortune to accumulate. We all have necessary expenses, but the necessary expenses will always grow to equal your incomes unless you protest and protect yourself.

You should not be confused with necessary expenses and your desires. You, together with your good families, have more desires than your earnings can gratify. If all your earnings are spent to gratify these desires still there will be many unsatisfied desires.

All people are burdened with more desires than they can gratify. Therefore study thoughtfully your accustomed habits of living. Certain accepted expenses can be wisely reduced or eliminated. The best way to do is to write down all things that you desire to spend and select those that are necessary and possible to pay through the nine-tenths of your income.

Many people choose fish than a fishing rod!

Millions of students graduate every year all over the world from their respective universities and if you ask them a question, what would you choose fish or a fishing rod? The answer is instantly the fish. The fish is here a metaphor of money, jobs, security etc and the fishing rod is businesses and institutes that bring money in every day. In other words, fishing rod feeds the people for life time and not for a day or two. Fish is not everything, fishing rod is everything.

Learn to see the big forest than a single tree.
People are highly qualified academically yet they don't make a correct choice. After graduating from the university, the students look only a particular apple tree and they miss to see the whole forest. They want money but they don't want things that could produce more money for lifetime. They see the short and immediate desires than the delayed needs.

Many conform rather than to think for themselves.
Immediately after the graduation, the students conform to the world of seeking jobs or work for money. Of course, the schools and colleges don't teach students to think independently rather they train them to conform to uniformity that is why schools and colleges insist upon wearing uniform or dress code for students. The students learn nothing more than conforming to their peers and the world. A person who thinks for himself may not conform to the world instead he will chart out his own course but according to conventional wisdom, he would be considered crazy.

The role models to emulate.
Bill Gates and Steve Jobs are the real role models who didn't conform to the conventional world rather they thought for themselves and because of their unconventional thinking they are shining in the world today. They have created a new world, a new history and a new standard of living and achieving one's goals. People shouldn't conform to the world blindly just because others do so. They must pursue their own goals and interests than working to buy the fish. They must work to get the fishing rod than the fish. Bill Gates and Steve Jobs and many others, didn't give in for fish instead they chose acquire the fishing rod. That has made a big difference today in their life.

Aim to acquire the fishing rod than fish.
If you acquire the fishing rod, you can feed yourself for months and years but if you aim to have only the fish, you will have only for a day. It is not a good choice in this present world where the rules of fishing and eating fish have gone a drastic change. There is a great advantage for those who want to acquire the fishing rod. You can choose the entrepreneurial path to take care of yourself and your family and others financially through out the years.

The fish may not be the best choice today.
Many parents insist their children to go to school so that they can get good jobs and earn good money and the children follow the same thing even after finishing the university. In the information age, fish is not the best choice today; the earned income from the job may not be sufficient to run the family today. The recent recession has hit very hard those people who look for only fish, who work for the earned income. There is a great danger in working for money.

Look for assets that will put money in your pocket.
People work at jobs and get paid for their labour, energy, time and service. They don't work for the assets that could bring money in their pocket. Those who didn't work for the assets that bring cash flow in the pocket are bleeding today because of the recession all over the world. They are still today looking for jobs to pay back the debts and feed their families.

If students and adults learn the difference between the fish and the fishing rod, assets that bring cash in and the liability that takes money out of pocket and the business that earns profits and jobs that bring earned income. It is a sad choice the young people are making today everyday. They lack guidance, wisdom, information and experience. They are wrongly conditioned and programmed. Teach yourself to choose the fishing rod than the fish. Choose fortunes rather than a living. Choose assets than liabilities. Choose businesses than jobs.

Make A List Of Your Goals!

It is said that when we have a list of goals, the bank balance increases and when there is plenty we can afford all that we possibly want. Let me guess, if you don't have a list of goals, then there is nothing much in your bank balance. On the contrary, if you do have a list of goals, then for sure you have more than enough to last one year without work.

There are some reasons why we should have a list of goals. There could be some obvious reasons and not so logical reasons nevertheless we must have goals.

Goals act like the set of the sails.
Goals really act like the light house, which direct the ships large or small to its destined harbor. The physical circumstances, the disappointment, heartbreak and failures could discourage a person so much that there would be no guiding post to move ahead. Goals channelize the human energy and resources to accomplish some predetermined objectives. It is really important to set goals, the things we would like to achieve during our life time. Of course there are people who have different opinions about goal settings but don't get distracted by their words. Have your own list of goals to live a fulfilled life.

We become definite about what we truly want.
Goals make us definite about going to certain place and achieving something real. Without becoming first definite about our goals,we can't expect to get what we want. Goals progress us towards our ideal vision and our mind is very clear about what we want to become in life. The more definite we become about what we want, we can reach our goals faster and sooner. Become definite first through the list of goals and enjoy your life.


Setting goals help us program our minds for success, health and prosperity.
When we set goals or write down our goals, we do a lot of great things for ourselves. By writing down our goals, we condition and program our minds mentally first through the pictures, images and visuals for success, health, wealth and abundance. There is a deep connection between goal settings and the programming. If we don't impress our unconscious part of our brain then we can't really get what we seek to get in life. Have a list of goals to impress your subconscious mind for prosperity, abundance, health and happiness.

Goals reflect who we become in the process.
There is no doubt, what goals will do to us if we have a list of goals. Goals will make us very valuable and capable individuals in the market place. Goals will help us become attractive and powerful in our skills and developments. There is enough chance for us to attract all that we desire and long for. Take for instance, people who have accomplished great success in life, they have become valuable in the market place by setting goals. They are great and extraordinary by achieving their set goals. We can too reflect our true self, when we follow our goals.

Don't listen to others' opinions about goal settings.
You will come across many people in your life who would not agree with having a list of goals because they are very critical and negative in thinking and believing. Beware of such people and don't share your list of goals with them because their personal opinions would really drive you off the right course. You may be on course, but you will soon realize that you have been pushed aside from the main course of destination. Our friends, colleagues, parents or neighbours don't know about us, so the goals that we set may not work for them but those goals may work in our favour if we believe truly.

Goals can change our life for better and give us a new lifestyle and perspective too.
People whom we see around the place driving fast cars, living in magnificent houses and buildings, thriving businesses and investments etc. could change their life because they assumed the responsibilities of setting goals and one after the other reached their goals. Goals make a big difference in life when we achieve them and they also make a huge difference when fail to achieve them. Claim your good life and vow to have your own unique lifestyle.

There could be other reasons why we should have a list of goals. The reasons may vary person to person but decide to have at least your list of goals and don't ever doubt whether they would work or not. As long as you have goals, you should be certain and definite that you are going somewhere and not moving around aimlessly in life.

We All Must Choose To Become Rich Everyday!

Do all people really choose to become rich on a daily basis? Do they think, it is a great idea to be rich and prosperous in life? People do wish that they should be rich, but in fact their wishes are superficial and unreal. Deep down there are some conflicting ideas that don't really allow them to choose richness.

Love of money as the root of all evils.
Many believe that 'love of money is the root of all evils' in the society and as a result the majority of population don't ever aspire to become rich in life. They just want to get by rather than living their desired lifestyle. The people have been conditioned wrongly by the teachings of religious authorities and because of the impression of wrong concepts many people deny and hate becoming rich. Instead of choosing to become rich everyday, they choose to become poor everyday because they have learned that poverty is virtue. "Happy are those who are meek, humble and poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of God."

The lack of money is the root of all evils.
The love of money is not the root of all evils as everybody in society thinks about, rather the lack of money is the root of all evils in the society. The ignorance is the cause of evils. When people lack something because of limited means to acquire all that they want, they begin to find ways to satisfy their unmet wants and needs. When unmet wants or needs drive their hearts they take up any means to satisfy their wants, whether it may be to steal from others or to kill somebody. The lack creates a divide in the society and that brings disharmony and disasters.

Be encouraged to become rich.
Therefore I am here to encourage people to choose to become rich daily so that they can be financially independent and live a happy life throughout their life. Being rich has many positive points. When one is rich, he/she can afford the best college education, can buy the cars, the planes, the buses or can buy flats and villas to stay in. A person can buy the latest apple i-phone.

Some significant reasons to be rich.
When we choose to become rich, we could afford the best health service and check-up in the hospital. We can buy everyday fresh flowers to keep in our homes or send flowers to some deserving people everyday. We don't need to rush to the office everyday during the peak traffic in the city.

When we choose to become rich and at the end became truly rich, we could get a body and foot massage to relax ourselves. We can buy the expensive furniture for our homes or we can donate furniture to some organizations that may require chairs, tables, desks etc.

By choosing to become rich, we can provide scholarship for the needy students who can't pay the tuition fees. We can even pay the hospital bills of some unknown families who can't afford to pay the whole expenses. We can buy people some new dresses, shoes, mobile phones, cameras and cars for those who can't afford during their lifetime. We can invest in the start-up businesses to encourage the young entrepreneurs. There are millions of things and ways that a person seeking wealth and prosperity could do during one's lifetime.

Greediness, crimes, wars, poverty could be reduced.
When everybody desires to become rich and believes in the absolute capitalism, there is no place for greediness, crimes and poverty. People will never look at the others with suspicions and greed when people really rely upon their unique talents, skills and capabilities to accomplish all they want.

Therefore choose to be rich.
Becoming rich provides many things and it increases our human capacity to contribute something for the better society and world. Nobody would ever dare to live in poverty, illiteracy, ignorance and lack because there would be enough for all. The nature gives enough for everybody and those who choose wisely to become rich, they will reap the rewards and live a satisfied life.

Educate yourself about money, taxes, good debts and bad debts, inflation and retirement.

In the world, whether you are rich or poor, all have one basic problem and that is 'money.' Almost everyone has some bad and some good experience in relationship with money. Nobody is immune to problems that arise in connection with money. Either there is a problem of enough or not enough. Either there is a problem of plenty or poverty but there exists a problem, which is handled differently be different groups of people. To overcome such money problems of plenty or poverty, you need to educate yourself about money, taxes, debts, inflation, retirement and the media today.

The problems people are facing today with regard to money, inflation, taxes, debts, unemployment, poverty in the world are due to ignorance about the subject matter called money. People don't have any nice chance to learn about money, inflation, taxes, credit card debts from some reliable sources. From the point view of ordinary people, there is no information or knowledge available in abundance but there is information overload from the point view of institutes or big organizations.

These days many people have defaulted their minimum credit card payments because of high inflation, they have no money left in hand to run their families. The inflation has increased very high but the salaries haven't increased. There is no excess or plenty of cash reserved or balance in their pockets as a result they are defaulting and non-payment of the principal amount plus the interest on that are creating huge bad debts for the credit card holders today.

It is very easy to swipe the credit cards in front of our friends to look rich or comfortable but the simple error is creating a big hole in one's financial stability. The large financial institutes all over the world are earning huge profits on the ignorance of the masses. They don't educate the masses rather they expect them to be ignorant.

If you want to know how lack of financial education is causing so much problem, then you just need to turn to your neighbour or friends or family members who have no idea how to handle the credit card debts and they will tell you how badly they are screwed up today. The complains and grievances against the large financial institutes are increasing because of lack of transparency and irresponsibility.

70% of financial problems would have been avoided or solved if they had good financial education regarding money, taxes, inflation and debts. These people have academic and professional education no doubt but they lack the financial education from their perspective. They know how to work for others, pay for others and earn for others because they learned them in the schools and colleges but they didn't learn how to work for themselves, pay for themselves first and earn for themselves.

If you are interested in increasing your financial knowledge then you can actually educate yourself by gaining access to good information and knowledge. There are some good financial books which might assist you in increasing your money skills. If you haven't read about Robert Kiyosaki's books, then you must pick up his series of books, which are excellent for gaining financial wisdom. He has provided the world with very good knowledge filled financial education tools to elevate one's life financially.

At the end, it is you who can solve your money problem small or big if you increase your knowledge regarding money, taxes, inflation and debts. People who are millionaires and billionaires do know something about money system that is prevalent all over the world. In my opinion, we can play the same game of money legally and yet win over financial illiteracy. Learn and do your own research regarding the money system to live a free life in this world with great abundance and prosperity.

Maintain Your Momentum All The Time!

"Success comes from taking the initiative and following up... persisting... eloquently expressing the depth of your love. What simple action could you take today to produce a new momentum toward success in your life?" Tony Robbins

When the momentum in life is kept alive, there is harmony, order, energy, enthusiasm, confidence and positive environment everywhere. We can see the effects of momentum in our work, business, family, relationship, health, wealth and country. Everything seems to be in order and disciplined. We begin to feel phenomenal about everything that goes smoothly. We don't complain or blame things for the lack of results or effectiveness.

The momentum is very important in life, if we have some goals, dreams, vision and mission. In order to work on our mission, we need to take action daily. We perhaps have to develop the discipline in order to actualize the dreams and goals. It is possible when we keep the momentum of taking daily actions.

Those who have kept the momentum faithfully, have accomplished their goals and are proud to have a lifestyle that they wanted to have in life. Ask any busy person who is tightly scheduled, whether momentum in life is important or not. They will tell you how important role the momentum plays in our life.

There are many real examples of people who have kept their momentum and those who failed to keep the momentum. Those who had gained the momentum but were distracted, lost almost all areas of accomplishment. As long as they kept the momentum, they excelled in their specific responsibility. It is difficult to regain one's momentum when it is gone. Therefore, don't lose your momentum and focus so that you don't have to regret for being left behind.

People go broke because of not keeping the momentum of their actions. When things sail good, they stop doing the thing that helped them to feel good. For instance, people go to gym and do their daily workout to stay fit. Once they are fit, they stop going to the gym or doing the exercise as a result their momentum is broken and they begin gain back those extra pound of weights.

On the other hand, those who are successful, rich and healthy, they continue to do things that matter for them. They never lose their momentum because they know if they lost their momentum, they wouldn't be enjoying the fruits of their hard work. Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Donald Trump and others continue their activities and don't stop abruptly. They maintain the momentum and gain much rewards in life.

You can gain a lot if you keep the momentum to study, learn, read, play, work, think, plan and desire constantly to excel in life. There is a great reward for you if you maintain the momentum always. Keep in mind that success, wealth, health, happiness, love and peace come only while keeping the momentum.

Make A Right Choice Between Formal and Informal Education!

"Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune." Jim Rohn

Today there are millions of graduates all over the world who have received their formal education from the prestigious and not so famous universities with good grades but many of them are still jobless searching for jobs and employment opportunities. These people didn't make a right choice between formal and informal education. Formal education here refers to the academic qualification while the informal education means the self-education that is undertaken by individuals to excel in life without much formal education.

The 96% of world population are well aware of the formal education system and they count on it for the living. They look for jobs to earn a living so that they could feed their family. This is the only way they know and they take up whether they like their jobs or not. As long as they get their regular paychecks to survive, they are happy about it and wish that this goes on forever. Formal education is important no doubt but that is alone not enough in this 21st century. The combination of both is perhaps the best solution to challenge the changing period of history.

It is better that the youngsters make a right choice between a living and a fortune. There is a great difference between these two. Whichever suits, you must choose that and take upon yourself the responsibility to make it happen. Working for a living is limited while working for a fortune is expansive. There is more to gain in pursuing one's fortunes than a living. Making a living doesn't require all our passion, talents and interests, it just needs our formal education to qualify for the post.

There are people who have quit their formal education and embraced informal type of education. These people are successful, rich and are having a better lifestyle. They equipped themselves through the process of self-education that they are very much qualified today to attract all the fortune that they aspire to acquire. It is their particular choice, which made them make a fortune for having a great lifestyle. They don't look for jobs rather job opportunities come in search of these highly enterprising people.


What we can do is to encourage people to take upon themselves the informal education so that they can continue to grow and improve their skills according to the changing trends. Taking upon oneself self-education for life time makes a great sense than formal education which lasts for few years. Self-education is continuous and unending. It is always updated freshly and matches with time.

Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Michael Dell, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison and many others made a right choice between these two types of education. It is very clear what education system they chose and followed. There is freedom in choosing self-education because one works smart to make a fortune come true. In my opinion, people must learn to make a right choice for themselves and follow the decision to the full.

Follow Your Own Passion!

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle." Steve Jobs

What is your passion? What do you think you will love to do during your lifetime? Do you know anything that drives you or interests you so much that you want to put in all your efforts, time and money in it? If you don't have, find it because it is there within you for sure.

Follow your own passion and don't follow others' passions for they will never make you happy and provide you a rich lifestyle. It is important that you choose your passion and be passionate about it to pursue whole your life. I believe you can realize it like others who have followed their passions.

Let's see the people who have discovered their passions and followed them minutely.

Wright Brothers

These two brothers are the true example of following one's ultimate passion. Their love for birds and the desire to fly like birds was the ultimate passion, which prompted them to innovate machines heavier than air that could fly. They invested all their energy, money and time just to make their passion come true. Did they succeed in pursuing their passion? Of course, they did and we know how they have assisted humans to travel faster and quicker across different continents within short time.

Henry Ford

This is another person who showed an exemplary role to follow one's passion than to follow others. He wanted to design cars and help people travel across the country smoothly. Did he realize his passion? There is no doubt about it. He revolutionized the car industries and paved the way for other manufacturers to follow his footprints. Today, the passion is alive and moving all over the globe.

Bill Gates

The real example of following one's passion is Bill Gates. At early age, he discovered his passion for the computers and he went after that passion. He was very young to decide whether to follow his passion or to study others' passion. Upon listening to his intuition or gut, he decided to adhere to his own passion and the dedication to that passion has revolutionized the entire world. If he had not followed his passion, then there wouldn't be any much technological advancement. Following one's passion is the key to better life here on earth.

Steve Jobs

Another important person who loved his passion is Steve Jobs. He closely followed his heart and today you know better, who has the biggest market share in the whole world? At young age dropping out of college was not a wise decision according to conventional wisdom. He would have been a failure in the conventional world without good certificates or degrees. But he gave up the academic pursuit and dedicated his time, energy and desire following his passion. Passion is the major key to growth, happiness, abundance and satisfaction. Find out your passion and be true to it until its final day.

Mahatma Gandhi

Many of us don't know what is our passion. But we shouldn't give up the search to find our passion. Mahatma Gandhi studied law and worked as a lawyer but soon he found out that he was leaning on a wrong ladder. That was not his passion. That was his profession. He gave up his profession and decided to follow his own passion to liberate people from clutches and exploitation of British Empire. He followed vehemently his passion and succeeded in achieving the freedom he was looking for his people. When people follow their own unique passions, there is freedom, a feeling of salvation.

Thomas Edison

Thomas Edison understood the profound secret that to succeed you have to follow your own ultimate passion and that can never fail you even after many setbacks and failures. His passion was to invent the electric light bulb and failed many times. But he didn't give up his own passion for he knew there was a way out.

There are many great successful people who have followed their own passions and they are today shining in the world. They have shown us the real examples that when we follow our passion, there is no obstacles, no failures, no loss but there is only success and rewards.

Find out today, what is your passion? What do you really aspire to be, do, have and enjoy? Don't ever say, you don't have any passion or love. You have within you the passion, which you suppose to go after.

Entrepreneurs, singers, dancers, artists, sportsmen and women, designers etc. all followed their own passions. To be successful, rich and happy, you better follow your inner voice to find out your ultimate passion of life. Think of the great people all over the world and learn from them how to be true to one's passion.

Be true to your passion; follow your passion to become what you want to be and live with passion. Go after what drives you and make it a discipline to do something everyday.

Affirm, "when I Grow Up I Want To Be Rich"!

If we ask little children, "When you grow up what do you want to become?" we get the same replies as we ourselves had given when we were asked while we were little kids. The children quickly reply and say that they want to become doctors, engineers, scientists, architects, designers, artists, actor or actress, dancers or singers etc. Nobody ever dares to say' "when I grow up I want to be rich." The children are conditioned from small to go to schools to become doctors, engineers etc. so that they can get safe and secured jobs for lifetime. That is the only world, their parents know and teach their children too.

From homes to schools and colleges, the children learn only about getting good grades and secured jobs as doctors or engineers. The career guidance is given in the school but it focuses only in being employees and working for somebody. The schools and colleges don't teach people how to become rich or how to make money work for them. Instead the schools and colleges only talk about the irrelevant subjects which don't really interest the students.

When children are not taught correctly, then naturally they will become what they have been conditioned from childhood not pursuing their own passion and love. They forgo their hobbies and interests that could transform their lives and provide a great lifestyle. In my opinion, all children must say this, "When I grow up I want to become rich." When they change their mindset and thinking from jobs seeking to jobs creating or creating wealth, there will be a birth of new system in the world which could include everyone in the economic development system.

The natural talents and skills of the students are killed undeveloped and unexplored. The answers to great mysteries that surround us about the origin of universe and people could be answered if students are encouraged to go after their passions. If students choose to become rich, automatically there will be abundant atmosphere in the neighbourhood and everybody will be happy to be part of the system.

Academic institutes are part of a great conspiracy theories and they will never teach young children about money in the schools and colleges rather they will complicate things so much that the children will lose interest in pursuing them. The only way the children can learn such wise information is from the non-academic sources. The students must be left alone to decide for their future careers. If they make mistakes, they can excel more and more in life though. If they are afraid to make mistakes, they will lose everything that they have as their own.

My advice to the young people and parents would be to teach children to be rich first in this 21st century. The children must be supported enough through good education to become wealthy with good intention. The mindset must be pure and genuine. College education is not necessary to become rich, without education too a person can acquire a great wealth, if his or her intentions are good.

Honestly, I want you to say this, "When I grow up I want to be rich, I want to be multi-millionaire, I want to be a multi-billionaire in order to contribute to growth and development of the world and its people, nature and environment." It is possible to be rich if you sincerely want to be.

There is a lot of information available for you to make use of them to your best advantage. When I encourage you to choose first to become rich, there is a reason or a great purpose behind it. If I explain that now, you won't believe me. Therefore the first thing at least you can do is to desire to be rich with good intention and the rest of the things will fall in place.

When I was a kid, my parents didn't teach me to say, 'when you grow up become rich.' However my mother often reminded me of possibilities of making more and more money with less work. I am grateful for my mom because she at least planted in me a different world, a world of less work not hard work.

Therefore, learn to affirm today if you haven't had the opportunity to say,'when I grow up I want to be rich.' There is so much to achieve and do for the world if you become rich. Think about the number of people you can help and feed, if you become rich. Becoming rich is not bad or evil, remaining poor is evil and bad. In this 21st century, it is your birthright to become rich and abundant so choose to be rich for better lifestyle.

Academic Learning Institutes have become EARNING Institutes today.

Just like the rules of money changed in 1971 from gold backed currency to debt based system, the rules of education too has drastically changed in the information age today. A very large percentage of world population though still considers the industrial rules of education important and applicable and play the games of security, freedom based on academic qualification. They don't realize the truth that the rules of education have changed and the new rules have been incorporated to suit those who understand and follow the changing trends.

During the industrial age, the educational institutes were considered the centres of learning and a gateway to secured jobs, comfort and financial freedom. But the same education institutes have undergone a drastic change in their operations. The education institutes are no longer today the institutes of learning, they are the institutes of Earning profits. The 'L' is missing in learning, there is only Earning. There is no real learning or education.

Many parents look upon education institutes as gateways to find jobs. The parents who think going to schools and colleges only to find jobs have not updated their knowledge and information. These parents were either born during the industrial age or were the products of industrial age and their thinking and attitudes haven't changed over the years.

No doubt the academic schools and colleges provide foundation to the students but the staff, management and the government systems do penalize the students with tilted growth and opportunity. There is no designs for developing multi intelligence.

The cost of schools and college studies have sky-rocketed today that it seems only those with money can afford such high academic education. The tertiary industry or education has not been hit by the recent recession. The parents have been battered down with the recession but education institutes have kept their fees intact.

I see many students attend tuition classes apart from going to schools every day. One question that arises in my mind is why do they need to go for extra tuition classes when they already attend the schools? What is wrong with school system? Are the teachers not equipped enough to explain concepts during the class that the students seek private tuition? If schools are not sufficient then the students shouldn't go to schools for studies rather they should go to private academies to prepare for the exams.

A dental student recently narrated to me her plight how she was penalized by a university professor by giving her failing grades in the oral examination because she had sprayed a strong perfume. The lady professor didn't ask her any questions related to the subject instead she asked why the student had sprayed perfume and she failed her in the exam. To clear that exam, the student had to pay extra $1100 US dollars other than her 5 year course fees of $32,000 US dollars.

There is no doubt the quality of education has been deteriorated over the years. The schools and colleges don't teach the young students to think and solve the problems. They expect only the right answers for the questions that have answers.

To conclude, beware of the academic institutes which suppose to be the centres of learning are no longer the centres of learning today. The academic institutes have become the centres of Earning profits. Learning is missing at the expense of Earning. Let your children learn first and then use their learned skills to earn a living or a fortune. The choice can be theirs.

Learning is the key to better future.

No one can deny the fact that in order to see a glimpse of our better future, we need to learn all that interests us. The academic education are only the beginning and we need to begin the process of designing our own better future by continuously learning and reforming our skills.

Learning is the beginning of wealth.
If we continuously learn, then we will attract the wealth and prosperity that we seek to accomplish. We must therefore take upon ourselves the important task of learning always so that we keep our skills sharpened and ready to be used when the time demands. Those who have amassed wealth and are financially free, kept the learning momentum alive while those who are just getting by, quit after their graduation ceremony.

Learning is the beginning of health.
Learning does contribute to the improvement of our health at large. Many people are ignorant about diseases and medicines that they consume daily. Many lack the knowledge and information regarding particular diseases. For them the privilege of enjoying good health is bleak because they don't learn about health and how to stay healthy. Learning about health is indeed the beginning of living a healthy life.

Learning is the beginning of all miracles of life.
In my view, people must learn whatever they stumble upon so that the spirit of learning is vibrant and active. Learning throughout one's life is very important if we expect some miracles to happen for us. All kinds of miracles happen when we learn something everyday.

Learning allows us to design our own future.
Those who don't learn anything other than their academic education, leave their future in someone else's hands. They lose the control over their destiny and fall into anywhere without any clear direction. Learning helps us to design our own extraordinary future and live life according to our plans.

Therefore, we need to take advantage of every opportunity to learn new things and put them into use. The people who do well in life, they learn always and that they are the envy of many who don't learn at all. Learn to bring value to the market place through constant learning. Keep in mind, learning is the major key to abundant, prosperous, happy and quality life.

The Power of Meditation!

Many enlightened philosophers, leaders, successful entrepreneurs and other religious people over the years have validated time and time again one truth that there lies within us amazing powers, powers that could revolutionize our life if we arouse and put into action. Meditation is the only way possible for us to tap that supreme God like power which is within us. From my own personal experiences to the experiences of other successful people, I am convinced more than enough that to bring a revolutionary transformation in our life we must practice a daily meditation for 30 minutes to 1 hour. I recommend all of you to do a daily meditation to get the outstanding benefits that you will enjoy.

1. Meditation connects us with God/Spiritual Energy.

As for me, I believe in the "Spiritual Energy" or "A Life Particle" which is prevalent in the entire Universe who does the work of creation. I don't know whether you believe in God or any other creator. Meditation is for everybody irrespective of one's belief systems. Meditation helps us to connect with God/Spiritual Energy which I like to call "A Life Particle". The moment you close the door and sit down, you connect with the 'Spiritual Energy' which is within you and is available every where. Through silent observation and listening, we establish a strong connection or relationship with this power.

You can soon realize that we share a common energy that is there in the entire universe. Through meditation we become more conscious because we connect with the Conscious Energy that creates the universe. Once you are conscious because you are 'A Life Particle' you will begin to understand and appreciate the power that dwells with you. Meditation helps us to connect with the Spiritual Energy and simultaneously we establish a strong relationship with our amazing powers.

Albert Einstein was a great scientist who ever lived on this beautiful planet earth. According to conventional wisdom he was thought to be an atheist but he wasn't in the unconventional world. He understood the most 'the Spiritual Energy' and he was very spiritual. Religions are not Gods or Gods are not religions. You just need to do the meditation to connect with your true self, the God self or Spiritual self. Practice meditation to align yourself with the universal truth which is never ending but ever lasting forever.

2. Meditation heals and gives us good health.

A daily meditation heals all kinds of mental illnesses. If you practice meditation, you are sure to enjoy the good health through out your life. As you know by now that we have within us the amazing powers that could revolutionize our life, any sickness, diseases, maladies, stress, worries, guilt feelings, pain etc. that you undergo on a daily basis will be healed through the daily discipline of meditation. There is no doubt about its usefulness and validity. You do your own research and follow your intuition to begin this.

I personally engage and immerse myself in deep meditation on a daily basis and I have realized a sense of deep self-healing through meditation. I haven't experienced so far any physical ailments. On the contrary, when I don't do meditation in silence, I feel frustrated, angry or sick. I understand why there are so many people who visit health care centres everyday and their health cost is rising high? People usually don't take full responsibility for their existence. They depend on others' for their errors.

Many sick patients visit doctors and hospitals every day and talk about their sickness to the doctor who examines for 5 minutes and then prescribes some medicine. The patients feel very happy to have visited the doctor and paid money, but they don't realize that doctor does practically nothing. The doctor doesn't do the healing, he only collects the consultation fees. The healing process is activated by the patients themselves. The patients have the inner power to heal any kind of diseases if they access that power through meditation.

3. Meditation unleashes the inner power of talents and skills.

The academic education in the schools and colleges don't educate students on the power of meditation. The schools and colleges only teach students the power of report cards and the certificates, which only give limited rewards. In order to unleash the inner power, you must sit for meditation in the noise free location to excavate the talents, skills, niches and unique passions.

If you see people who are successful enjoying the best of everything, you must understand the power of meditation. No successful man or woman would directly endorse others to do meditation because it is an individual choice but they do engage in some kind of meditation or thinking in solitude themselves. Jesus of Nazareth did it and gained wisdom of God; Mahatma Gandhi practised it, and achieved independence; Steve Jobs visited India and spent some time in deep thinking and you know how he has revolutionized the world with best apple creations ever. These are few examples, you must do your own searching. Tap your inner power to employ your unique talents and skills to bring a revolution in your life.

4. Meditation helps us create and achieve success, wealth and prosperity.

Success, wealth, money or prosperity are spiritual in nature. Since we are spiritual beings in the physical and mental world, we need to attract prosperity through meditation. Meditation has the power to create wealth and success and thereby help us achieve all that we truly desire. Success, wealth and prosperity can be accomplished over the period even if you are struggling right now.

People are successful and rich because they have utilized the power of meditation to achieve what they wanted. The universe being the Spiritual Energy, rewarded them when they established a strong connection. Nobody has a clear answer how meditation can aid us achieve prosperity but it does work if you take action. That is the power of meditation. You must meditate in order to accomplish success, wealth and prosperity. You mustn't sit down to think about filthy stuffs which could deviate your super-concentration. Many people don't believe in the truth as a result many don't achieve what they want. You be the one who believes and get what you want.

Meditation generates million and billion dollars worth of business ideas. There are businesses in the world, which emerged due to the ideas that were acted upon by doers. Don't assume your life will be changed by leaving your future to third party. Your income and wealth will increase only when you spiritually connect with wealth that you are looking for. Think about the million and billion dollars businesses in the world feeding thousands upon thousands of people and families.

5. Meditation ignites, empowers and guides people.

Whenever I sit for meditation, I feel a vibration of energy surrounding me from all 360 degree angles. The moment I close my eyes and connect with the Spiritual Energy or 'the Life Particle' I feel so energetic and revived that nothing seems to stop me from doing the things that I want to accomplish. After spending some time, I receive the guidance as if somebody is guiding me and prompting me to do something. I don't have to explain how I get ignited, empowered and guided, it is you who need to do it by yourself and examine whether there is any truth.

When Jesus of Nazareth, spent 40 days of fasting, prayers and meditation, he was so empowered that everything seemed possible for him. He could perform miracles, cure diseases, forgive sinners, feed the hungry, guide the people with no good leaders and even raise himself up. Another example is Mahatma Gandhi who was a lawyer by profession but through meditation he was guided by the Spiritual Energy to liberate his people from bondage. He was so empowered and ignited that no sharp swords or strong British armies could distract and dissuade him from the truth. By now you must be getting enlightened and empowered to follow your own dreams and desires.


6. Meditation brings happiness, peace, love and freedom.

Through meditation people have experienced happiness, peace and harmony in life. Meditation unfolds the path to happiness, peace and love that we ever desire to achieve and experience. The couples who engage together in meditation, will live in happiness, peace and abounding love because they learn to establish a deep connection with their Spiritual Energy. Whoever is connected with the 'Life Particle' there is always a promise of good things.

If married couples or people who are in relationship dating or looking for don't practice meditation whole their life, then we can predict they won't last long and there won't be any guarantee for enjoying happiness, peace and love. Since we are spiritual beings, we need to establish a connection with the 'Life Particle'. Ask around people who seem very happy, peaceful and loved, you will learn for sure some kind of thinking or meditation done to sustain their life here on earth.

The real freedom emerges from within and not outside. You can enjoy this ultimate freedom to do anything good that you want to perform in life. The rich people enjoy financial freedom, others enjoy different kinds of freedom. We all can live in freedom, happiness, peace and love if we practice meditation. I am not advocating anybody to do it, however if you think it is important you can take a chance.

The inner powers that dwell within us can be easily tapped in order to revolutionize our lifestyle here on earth. Establish first the connection with the Spiritual Energy or the Life Particle that pervades all around and then go on with empowered, ignited spirit to realize your dreams and goals.

Re-educate, Unlearn and Reprogram yourself!

As children, we received tons of programmings regarding money, education, health, friendship, spirituality, emotions and many other influencing factors of life. We didn't decide and choose what to learn, when to learn, how to learn and why to learn. We were simply spoon fed because we didn't know anything much when we depended upon others for our learning and growth.

The early part of education that we acquired through our parents, relatives, friends, education institutes, media and other sources filled one stage of our learning needs and we devoured anything that came our way. But as adults all the knowledge and education that we have received so far won't contribute much to the dreams and goals that we want to accomplish. Here are some helpful guidelines that we can follow in order to create an ideal life style worthy of our efforts and time.

1. Unlearn and relearn what we have been programmed in our childhood.
As kids we were programmed by a host of people around us while we were tender and growing in age. We as kids assumed everything to be normal and noble even though things were not right. We learned to pray and go to church or temples. As adults we are supposed to unlearn what we accumulated during our upbringing and relearn the stuffs that we supposedly should learn again. for instance while we were small we heard a lot of negative programmings about the subject of money at home and we formed our own ideas about it. Those ideas are affecting us so much today that we resent or repel the abundance that we should attract.

The subconscious mind has received all kinds of programming languages that we reap our external results based on our inner conditioning. Let's unlearn the things we assumed as true but they are not true according to our understanding and experience. If we unlearn the old and relearn the new, we can create a great revolution in our personal life. I can't unlearn and relearn the things for you. It is only you who must examine deeply to figure things out.

2. Let's Educate and Re-educate ourselves constantly.
To obtain big and new results we must educate ourselves constantly about all the things that are related to our growth and development. We got to re-educate ourselves for the acquired knowledge may not be supporting us in our efforts to pursue the desired goals. Education is a life long process and it is our duty to acquire true and real knowledge and information. The best way to live in truth and fairness is to re-educate our philosophy, attitudes, imagination, mind, thinking and belief systems.

We may think we have received good education from the best schools, colleges and university but they are purely academic in nature and they won't help much as they touch only our left brain leaving the right brain uneducated and unattended. So take a few minutes of time to think about the education you have received and weigh whether they are applicable or not.

3. Reprogram your programmed mind and imprint abounding health, prosperity and happiness.

Reach out to your hard drive and write new programs. The programs here mean the list of goals that you want to accomplish during your life time. You better imprint the list of goals or goal programs on the hard drive of your computer, your brain, which will determine the greater outcomes of your life.

You can easily uproot the old programming,if you are disciplined enough to take action regularly. You must pay full attention to sufficiently imprint the new list of programs or goals so that they get registered in the deeper part of your unconscious brain. Any success that you are looking for will come with the ability to imprint your goals and nobody is better qualified and equipped than yourself.

So reprogram your computer by imprinting the new life, new attitude, goals and prosperity that you want with all your heart, mind and soul. The value of a good education doesn't count much here. What counts the most is the programs in your mind.

To sum up, we must consistently re-educate, unlearn and reprogram our old programs, habits, attitudes and thoughts so that we can enjoy the abounding health, wealth and happiness through out our life. We must super-concentrate our mind power to install the major goals we desire strongly.
