Believe You Have What It Takes!

You are quite sure reading under an electric light. You know it was made possible by one great man Thomas A. Edison. He gave the first practical electric light to the world. But do you know he was practically thrown out of school in the early grades where his teacher called him stupid as a result he could not continue schooling?

Just imagine, what would have happened if he had allowed his teacher's opinions have an impact on him. Naturally, we would not be enjoying electric light for years. Where would he have been if he had allowed others' opinions to take charge of his thinking?

I want to say that you have all that it takes to succeed, become and achieve any result you seek to pursue in your life. Fortunately, Edison decided to live his own life. Through early adversity, he discovered something he might never have learned through formal schooling. He learned, first, that he had a mind he could control and direct toward any desired end. When he took full possession of that "addled" mind it produced not only the incandescent lamp but also one great discovery after another.

This proves one thing, we possess what it takes to be successful in life. We must first believe it and confidently walk across the road to achieve what we desire. Believe you have what it takes to live, succeed and enjoy your life. There is no limitation and no difficulty except that your thinking may obstruct you.

Wright Brothers are another excellent examples to show how people possess everything that they need to succeed in life. I am sure, you have what it takes to be happy, wealthy and healthy. There is not a lack or limitation in your life. You can design anything that you want in life because you have already what you want.

I can just urge you to do your own research and studies about people who have succeeded in life despite huge obstacles. Learn to see the solution rather than blockage or obstacle. Believe you have what it takes to be happy, healthy, wealthy and to contribute to the service of humanity.

Are You Living A Healthy Lifestyle?

"It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver." Mohandas Gandhi

People who are engaged in 9-5 jobs; people who have tight schedule and people who spend a large portion of their time in sitting and watching TV are prone to unhealthy lifestyle. Are you living a healthy lifestyle? How can you define your health and wellness?

A study done by Michigan State University defined healthy lifestyle on the basis of four criteria and of the 153,000 subjects only 3% responded in all four characteristics. It is a sad phenomena today as people are living a very sophisticated lifestyle. Let's discuss the four healthy lifestyle characteristics.

1. Not Smoking
These days due to the availability of cigarettes in every street corner and disposable pocket money in the hands of children are the causes of widespread smoking. I have witnessed children as old as 8 years smoking cigarettes and eating marijuana. And those who don't smoke cigarettes are few to find today. I am a non-smoker by choice because I love my life and I want to be healthy. The percentage of those who smoke is 96% than the non-smokers 4%. This is the lifestyle people are living today. Make a wise choice today to live a healthy life later.

2. Reducing the weight
If you hold your weight down, you have a golden chance of living a healthy lifestyle. But there is a rapid rise of obesity among people of all age groups. The modern world is progressing and developing but it has its own disadvantages. People don't do anything to reduce their weight. They don't walk instead they use their cars to go to the next corner. The mobility of people is less and less day by day. Technology is good but it has broken down the normal healthy lifestyle of people. You must maintain your healthy weight.

3. Eating right
People must eat with their brain rather than eating with their mouth for taste. People are craving and dying to eat and taste some various delicacies and cuisine forgetting about their health and wellness. I think people must eat enough to survive rather than to eat for taste. The availability of fast food is the main cause of not eating right. In some parts of the world people are dying of hunger but at the same time there are people in the world who are dying to eat for the taste.

4. Exercising daily
People have time for their office, job, restaurant, friends, clubs and party but they don't have time for daily exercise. People neglect to do the daily exercise and when they don't do the exercise, they can't easily hold their weight down. Their obesity begins to control their movement. People make unnecessary excuses for not exercising. Practically everybody is a victim and avoids doing daily exercise.

If you do ten minutes exercise daily, eat right, control your body weight and avoid smoking or drinking you can lead a healthy lifestyle and enjoy a greater degree of satisfaction and happiness. These four characteristics alone can provide you with a lifestyle that you should be proud of. If you love yourself and love your life then it won't be hard to practice these disciplines.

"Without health life is not life; it is only a state of langour and suffering - an image of death." Buddha

Fall In Love With Life!

Just like people fall in love with another person by adoring everything about them you can fall in love with your life to enjoy the best of everything. You must ask yourself do you really love your life? Are you in love with your life? If you have fallen in love with your life, you will be positive, optimistic, confident, successful, healthy and wealthy. Loving your life is very important today because it shows how accountable and truthful you are with yourself.

If you love your life, you can become healthy. Millions of people all over the world are struggling to keep themselves healthy physically. The reason is obvious, they don't love their lives. They consider life to be the most precious gift I personally think people neglect to take care of themselves simply because they are unable to love and accept as they are. I think these people must love their lives.

There are majority of people finding hard to earn enough money to run their families. I think it is because they don't love their lives. If you love your life, you will find ways to support your family. There won't be a struggle rather there will be abundance.

When you love your life, the limitation, weakness, anger, fear, jealousy etc will disappear and you will begin to experience strength, happiness, confidence and courage because you love your life. When you fall in love with your life, you will manifest all kinds of good things in your life.

Those who have made big and have reached to the top in the corporate ladder, are the real examples of people who have fallen in love with their lives. I mean here the positive impact that they have on people.

It is good to examine whether you have fallen in love with life or not. If you are in love with life then you can come to know by the results you get in life. So fall in love with life so that you can unleash the power within you and can get unlimited results.

It is only one life so you must make the best use of it. There is tremendous power and talents within you that you can achieve them if you consider your life as important and valuable. What makes your life beautiful, happy and prosperous? Do them as often as you can.

Talk To Yourself What Is Positive And Empowering!

"The most influential person who will talk to you all day is you, so you should be very careful about what you say to you!" Zig Ziglar

An individual is a community, a society, a family. What happens to a community or society happens to an individual. Though an individual is one being walking or standing alone, his minds, thoughts, and hearts are with the community or society. What bad happens in community, family or society, an individual carries with him wherever he goes. If somebody from his family, circle of friends, or society remarked something bad about him, he nurtures them by thinking and talking to himself negatively. That way an individual is never alone, he is a society or a nation.

The negative remarks and conversation corrupt and influence your mind so much that you can't get rid of them later. You will become the sum total of those negative influences and you know there is nothing much you can gain or learn in life. The negative talks and criticism really affect us and if you are not strong in mind, you will be the victim of such influences.

People who succeed they make sure that they build a strong wall to protect themselves from negative talks. They create a habit to have always positive self-talks. They say to themselves they can do or achieve their dreams. They highly regard their intelligence and skills. They proactively convey empowering message to their subconscious mind and as a result they reap positive results.

The successful people recognize the power of self-talks or auto-suggestions. They speak all the time what they can and how they can do things. They talk in terms of doing and possibilities. It is said that words do become flesh. The words do come true. You must not be careless in speaking out any words. You must speak those words, which you want them to become a reality in your life.

Be watchful what you utter and say to yourself in the silence of your mind. It is more powerful than a sharp sword. Words damage us more than the physical hurts. Choose to say that which you want and expect to happen for you. It is better to learn some powerful affirmations and repeat them as much as you can.

Create A Vacuum To Attract What You Love!

It is said that nature hates a vacuum. If you create a vacuum in your life you have the chance of attracting what you love and desire. It is a powerful law for those who want prosperity, abundance and good things of life. According to this law, the universe can provide you with things that you desire only when you let go of what you are holding on. When there is a vacuum, it will always be filled with good things. You must learn to create a vacuum so that you get what you love.

If you have lost your jobs during this economic downturn and complaining about it, you needn't feel discouraged because a new and better opportunity will be created for you. Your old job will be replaced with a much better job. If you don't let the old job, which made you negative, there won't be a place for the positive one. If you have an empty room, the new tenants will come to occupy soon. You better learn to release the old to welcome the new one.

This vacuum law is effective in all walks of life. If your table is cluttered with files and letters, you should clean up the table to attract good feelings so that they will bring for you new things. With cluttered table you will get distracted and disorganized. For instance, my study table used to have many things on it and it used to distract me but now I have created a vacuum and there is a flow of good things. So practice the law of vacuum, create a room for the new things and allow them to come to you.

If you want new dresses or shoes, you must first get rid of your old clothes and shoes so that there would be enough space to accommodate new things. Give away those old shoes and clothes and create a vacuum for better things. Clean out your closet to attract what you love.

If you want love and hugs from others, you be the first to give away your love and hugs. Same thing applies to smile. If you give away your smile to others, you will receive more smiles. So try out this law and prove its truthfulness. I am sure you can get all that you want.

You must give away all your lack thinking or loser consciousness in order to attract money, prosperity and abundance in your life. Give up your victim consciousness so that there will be space in your mind to become a victor.

I personally have proved this law and found that it is very powerful and useful. It really works. If you don't give, you won't get much in return. I have created a vacuum in many areas of my life and I am satisfied with the results I get on the daily basis. I don't try to keep myself busy with unproductive activities. I get a lot of business opportunities and a chance to create my own lifestyle when there is a vacuum.

You can create a vacuum and attract abundance, good health, money, happiness, love, romance, good relationship etc if you practice the law of vacuum. There is nothing much to say, because the law is true and works 24/7.

Your World Will Change When You Change!

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world." Mohandas Gandhi

Your world, your life, your future, your financial well being, your health will improve when you truly decide to change and if you don't desire to change the things will remain static and unmoved for ever. The moment of decision to change shapes your future and lifestyle forever. The human world at large is changing rapidly but is your individual world , life, finance, health and happiness changing for better?

If you are through change, you can have a new life yourself and if you are not through change, then there is nothing much you can expect to see. If you are looking for health, wealth, happiness and wisdom, you must often change constantly so that you can change your world and bring abundance for yourself.

For instance, if your over spending habit is changed, your chance of having a financial abundance will increase and a new sense of prosperity will grow where you can get all that you want. People don't make a plan or don't set goals for their future, and if they change that old habit their life and world could be transformed too.

If you have a goal, a dream and a vision, you must change your attitude, goals, character and lifestyle otherwise there will not be any good opportunities coming your way. However those who don't change are afraid to change. It is a sad phenomena.

But you should be wise enough to change for growth, success, prosperity, health and happiness. Because all change is not growth and all movement is not forward. You can be still at one place and move but you won't be going anywhere just like walking on a trade mill though you may change the speed but you don't reach any place physically. So change for the accomplishment of your dreams and goals. Change for wealth, health and friendship that you want to enjoy in your world.

There are very few percentage of people all over the world who have changed themselves and they have succeeded in changing their world, their lives, their health, their lifestyle and their existence. Look around you who have changed themselves and as a result their world has become a thing of admiration and success. People want to be like them and wish to achieve what they have accomplished for example the entrepreneurs, millionaires and billionaires.

If you want to be healthy and fit, you must change your laziness and eating habits or you can join the fitness center to work out your abs etc. You must change your habit of procrastination, you must change your negative attitude, you must change your beliefs and refine your philosophy which is keeping you away from reaping good rewards.

People do have some resistance to change themselves but you must overcome that resistance. You must never let it control you and hold you back. You should be the man/woman who you want to be so that your world and future can be unique and lovely.

Keep in mind that if you change for better, your world will be thousand times better; if you change for success and wealth, your world will be successful, wealthy and abundant; if you change for good health, you will enjoy health through out your life and if you change for loving relationship, you will have a pleasant and romantic relationship. It all comes down to your ability to change and transform your world and then the whole world.

"Things do not change; we change." Henry David Thoreau

Learn Some Invaluable Lessons From The Mistakes And Failures!

You can learn some valuable lessons from your own mistakes and the mistakes of others. If you want to live, you must pick up some lessons from the failures so that you can move ahead and avoid making the same mistakes again and again. You must never repeat the same errors more often because if you do that you will lose confidence and your self-esteem will be low. Mistakes and failures are great blessings in disguise for those who recognize its instructive power.

Many people don't want to commit any kind of mistakes in life because they are afraid of failures. Yes, mistakes and failures do bring pain and discomfort but mistakes and failures are necessary if you want to thrive in prosperity and happiness. Without mistakes you can never be certain what is right way to do things. It is important because you have the chance to learn some valuable lessons to move forward and avoid future falls. And in order to survive and succeed you have to learn from your mistakes and the mistakes of others.

My son Myron is two years old and I watched him fall many times when he attempted to walk. When he stood first time, he couldn't move his leg, he stood still and slipped down suddenly but he rose up again to gain the momentum. He kept on this process many times because it seemed fun for him. He succeeded finally in moving his one leg and then the other leg though he wasn't steady at first. When he learned to move his both legs, he still fell down. After required amount of falls, he was empowered enough to walk and what a pleasant sight it was to look at him smiling and laughing. When he learned the walking skills, he wanted to move on to the next skill. After walking, he tried to run but when he moved his leg quickly he couldn't run, he fell down because he didn't have a balance but soon he qualified for running.

The falls, mistakes and failures are not bad, they are important steps to move forward because we don't have to stay stuck at one place. Thomas Edison, Wright Brothers, Henry Ford, Abraham Lincoln, Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela and many great souls became successful because they had many falls and failures. The most important thing is they learned valuable lessons and improved upon the mistake to move forward to grow and thrive. Mistakes are necessary, if you want to achieve a big result, a big goal.

When I attended a driving school, my instructor didn't expect me to drive the car like a professional but a beginner. I didn't learn to drive the car without making mistakes. I learned to drive because I made a lot of mistakes but each time I made mistakes, I learned from the mistakes more than driving correctly. Mistakes teach us more than doing the right thing. Business is same like learning to hold the steering wheel. There is bound to be errors and failures but lessons must not be bypassed.

The society, the neighbours, friends and family look upon people who make mistakes as failures and good for nothing. People see them as if a big crime is made. The schools and colleges punish the students when they make mistakes. They expect all the time the correct answers. These people forget the reality that there is no right or wrong answer at first attempt. Who said that at first attempt, people will get things right, no? The baby never gets right the first time when she wants to walk and run. It is only after a series of steps that a child learns to walk and run. Thomas Edison didn't invent the light bulb with a single attempt or Mahatma Gandhi didn't earn freedom for his country with one single effort and even NASA couldn't send astronauts to the space without big mistakes and failures. Things require time and energy to become a success or real. We can't impose unexpected demands and success without knowing the law of nature.

Think about any millionaires and billionaires you know, they didn't become successful overnight with a first attempt. They made many mistakes, failed many times but they didn't give up because they corrected and learned lessons from those mistakes. If the society or the world looks down upon you when you commit a mistake, don't bother about them. They don't know you and they can't live a life for you. It is normal to make mistakes and it is okay to fail in any endeavor. It is not a big deal. But remember, you must never miss the lesson from those errors of judgement.

Learn the lessons from your own mistakes and the mistakes of others as much as you can so that you will be able to attract the success and lifestyle that you desire to have in your life. There is a beauty, value and honor in pursuing your dreams in spite of your failures and mistakes.

What do I mean by failures and mistakes? When you fail to reach your dreams and targets, when you make mistakes while stitching a pair of pants then it is not a big crime that the society should punish you. But when people kill somebody or kidnap some people, these are serious crimes and are subjected to legal punishment and there is a course correction. But people can learn some valuable lessons from that too.

My purpose here is how and why people should learn valuable lessons from any kinds of errors or mistakes done knowingly or unknowingly. If you learn those valuable lessons you can make your life an extraordinary one. Mistakes are stop signs and they are blessings too. Recognize the value of mistakes and failures.
