Believe Everyday is an Opportunity for a New Life!

Human life on earth is beautiful, admirable and precious. We have every opportunity to become what we desire with all our heart, mind and soul. We have every opportunity to live a happy life, a rich life, a healthy life and a loving life. Everyday we rise to a new opportunity to shape our life what we truly want. This everyday opportunity we must never miss it rather use it to make our life beautiful.

How everyday is an opportunity? We live our lives one day at a time. We don't finish our lifespan in one day. There are 365 days in a year and each day is unique if we consider it as important for us. Therefore, we have 365 opportunities for a new life. If you missed yesterday to create a new life, you have another day today and this way you can never lose the opportunity to design your new life everyday.

You must imagine yourself to make the best use of your time and opportunity. You must think clearly and positively that there is indeed new opportunities for new life and you can have it. Feel with your heart that you can take the advantage of your opportunity.

This way you can never be the same old person. You have every opportunity to be new and lead a new life. Though your past may not be exciting but you haven't missed much because you have another day to start off. People usually lose hope when things go wrong and give up their desires to create a new life when an opportunity comes knocking the door. They view each day with negative attitude and imagination. They must stop it.

New life is created by imagination. Imagination is power. You must imagine that you can achieve all that you want in your life, all that you want to be and all that you love to happen in your life. The new things will come to you when you create them through imagination. After creating you must feel that your desires will come true.

View each day positively and consider it as an opportunity to walk and live a new life. How you view each day determines you whether you will be able to create a new life. I am sure, your positive thoughts and affirmations will work if you really put your efforts to see things with optimistic attitude rather than pessimistic mindset.

Whether you think today is an opportunity for you to live a new life or not, depends upon you and no one can really think that for you because you have to do your thinking, imagination and feeling yourself.

Finally, I want to suggest that you must imagine, you must think, you must feel, you must believe and you must realize that everyday is indeed an opportunity to begin a new life and this new life comes when we take the full responsibility. The year 2010 is coming to an end, 275 days have been passed and only 90 days are remaining. But these 90 days are opportunities for you to live a new life. It is possible to create some thing new for yourself.

To become what you want the powers are inside you!

"There are powers inside of you, which, if you could discover and use, would make of you everything you ever dreamed or imagined you could become." Orison Swett Marden

It is within a reach of mankind to become who they want to be. It is possible for people to stretch if they want to do so and they can shrink if they don’t want. A girl can give birth to a baby and a boy can father a baby. A scientist can devote his life to invent a light bulb or machines to fly.


In India, the Late Dhirubhai Ambani, the founder of Reliance Industries is an extraordinary example for people to emulate. From working at Petrol Pump at Aden he grew up to be one of the world’s richest man owning several businesses and undertaking many social initiatives.


Similarly there are other great souls living and dead who have become what they wanted to be by using their inner power. Michelangelo became a great sculptor because it was there in him the qualities, which he developed by trying on many things.


People who become a great success financially or socially, they recognize their inner power and believe in them constantly. They take action. They employ their energy, time and efforts wisely.


If you are not convinced yet, here is another quote. If you think over it you will surely begin to believe in yourself. This is my favourite quote.


“Deep within man dwell those slumbering powers; powers that would astonish him, that he never dreamed of possessing; forces that would revolutionize his life if aroused and put into action.” Orison Swett Marden


People who believed those slumbering powers, the forces have made themselves unbelievably powerful, successful, rich, millionaires and billionaires.


The founders of Googles, Yahoo and Infosys did believe in this inner power which guided them to be where they are today, what they have become.

Is your future entirely within your own control?

"Our future is entirely within our own control. It is not at the mercy of any capricious or uncertain external power." Charles F. Haanel

Abraham Lincoln wrote a classical letter to his son's teacher and in that letter he requested the teacher to teach his son not to follow the crowd but to do what is true by his own thinking. In other words, Abraham Lincoln wanted his son to have a complete control over his own future himself than any one else.

In the world today 95% of people follow the crowd, what it means is that these people just conform to the world tells them to do. They don't think for themselves independently. For instance, if there is a discount sales offer at any shopping malls, they rush in large numbers to get the goods. These people don't ever stop to think why there is such a discount sale of flat 50% or 60%. When there is a discount sales offer, actually there is no discount at all in reality. It is only a marketing strategy to attract customers and make a huge margin of profits. The companies want to get rid of old stocks of products and there is no best way to sell them other than at a flat discount sales offer. The company's aim is always to get their returns on investments while getting away the old stocks of inferior products though. At discount sales you don't pay less rather you pay more for the defect products.
This is how people let others control their future and life. While those who think for themselves control their own future and life.

It is good to ask a question, is you future entirely within your own control or controlled by others? Do you believe the external world controls your movements and accomplishment? Do you think the government, the economy, the employers, the academic institutes, the hospitals, the family or spouse or friends control your life and future? Many do think that the world without, the external world controls them. What about you?

People who allow the external world to control them live by the world without. The failures, misunderstandings, lack of confidence, poverty, anger, worries, fear etc control and dictate their lives. It is not the external things that really control us but rather the internal things-the subconscious mind within us. People who lose the control over their lives are those who didn't sit and ponder about the inner strength that comes from within.

With sight you can see only what is there but with vision and faith you can find and attract all the wealth, abundance, money, happiness, peace, and love. That means people who allow the external world to control them see the reality through their sights, which enable them to see only the things that are visible to the eyes. Those who have a complete control over their lives, finance and future see the reality through their vision and faith and as a result they are able to control their life direction.

People who have no control swing back and forth, left and right because they are not sure of their life purpose. Deep down they have not created the consciousness to guide them towards what they want in life. And those who are able to control their lives have developed deeper consciousness.

"As within so without" is the ancient wisdom which is so true and real that hardly people understand its meaning and implication. When you have a control over your life and future you operate from within-the internal aspects of energy and power. Whatever you are inside, it begins to show up on the outside though it is not understood fully. This law is true always and works all the time.

So better learn to control your future by seeing yourself from within so that you can control your life better. There is a possibility for you to design your life and thereby have a control yourself. It is important to have your own thinking and power over yourself.

We Must Constantly Move Forward!

When one door gets closed, another opens; if another door is closed, window opens; if window is closed then ventilator opens and if ventilator is closed, the roof will break open for us. That means there is never a dead end in life, rather there is a way to begin a fresh start. We must constantly move forward, move on and go ahead in life, time and history.

There are instances where things seem to come to an end but still there is a new sprout or new shoot of life on the other end. For example, economy may be bad due to recession, but that is not a permanent thing, that will pass too. A new vibrant economy will be born to serve us. There will be new opportunities and jobs for those seeking employment and expansion.

A person may be struggling in his or her relationship with his/her spouse but that won't be considered a finished chapter. A new and fresh opportunity will show up in time and it will be a great example to be followed. We must approach things with new attitude and new outlook. We must never consider there is no way out.

We can move forward in life and live a better life. The sorrow will turn out to be joy, the death will resurrect into life of hope, the destruction will cause new construction of life, end of friendship will give birth to new relationship which we may be perfect and fine. Those who are hungry and thirsty may be fed by good souls. So we must constantly move on and move forward to the stage where every one lives a happy life.

We must never be heart-broken rather we must be faith-filled individuals to live our better life on this earth. I know we can do things which we haven't done. Let's promise ourselves today that no matter what happens to us, we will move ahead and never allow the past to determine our future judgment and life.

Those who don't move forward, they are living dead and we must never follow them. We must live forward because that is how the universe operates. We must constantly move forward to achieve what we want in life.

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.
