Be Part Of The Solution, Not Part Of The Problem!

"To solve any problem,
here are three questions to ask yourself:
First, what could I do?
Second, what could I read?
And third, who could I ask?"
Jim Rohn

Focus on the solution, not on the problem and you will emerge victorious in your endeavor. Majority of people obtain their academic education and they think that qualifies them to meet the challenges of life. But they are mistaken. Academic education is just a step towards meeting the challenges of life. From schools and colleges, people learn only about conscious mind. Conscious mind is small, reactive and performs only one function and many of us can do only one thing either to worry or expect the worst things to happen. And you know what happens - the worse thing occurs.

Change your focus on problem to focus on solution and your mind will respond to it positively. Because many people think about and talk about the pressing problems, they don't get any solution because they don't look for the solution. They pay their attention more on problems.

"Focus 90% of your time on solutions
and only 10% of your time on problems."
Anthony JD Angelo

Decide today to pay attention on the solution than problems and you will be happy for doing this activity. Solve the problems and don't feed the problems. When you take one step, thousands steps will be shown to you.

Be part of the solution and not part of the problem. Majority of people learn to be part of the problem than solution. The Government, banks, institutes, and others try to find short-term solution than long-term solution. They focus on the problem and apply quick-fix method to solve challenges. The problems disappear for a short time, but they quickly come back and attack the system harder than before.

"What we're saying today is that
you're either part of the solution or you're part of the problem."
Eldridge Cleaver

Today's economic crisis didn't happen overnight. Those who are responsible, tried to overlook the long-term impact and were content with short-term solution. These people were never part of the solution rather they were part of the problems.

Focus on the solution and you will solve any problems you encounter in your life. Focus with determination and passion, you will find the answers to your confusing questions. Rely more on your power to solve the problems than others to fix them for you. Use your subconscious mind to solve problems because it can perform trillions of functions at a time.

"For every problem there is a solution which is simple, clean and wrong."
Henry Louis Mencken

Never Ever Give Up On Your Dreams And Passions!!!

“Never, never, never, never give up.”

Winston Churchil

These days there are some financial challenges occurring all over the world and people are finding tough to move forward but I am here very optimistic enough to say to all my readers that even though going is tough, let tough get going. Never ever give up on your dreams and passions no matter what. If you are convinced on your dreams and passions, MARCH forward.

"All who have accomplished great things have had a great aim,
have fixed their gaze on a goal which was high,
one which sometimes seemed impossible."
Orison Swett Marden

Financial crisis began in 2007 and it will go on till 2016 or more and for that we must be vigilant and prepared to face the challenges. And it is the best time to pursue your own passions and interests. I hope that more and more people who are dissatisfied and desperate about life, follow their dreams and passions so that they can really live in abundance even in this economic downturn.

Many guides, coaches, mentors, trainers and leaders have often repeated this statement again and again, therefore you should remind yourself too when you face difficult challenges. Best thing is to believe in yourself, believe in your abilities, believe in your untapped potentials, believe in your goals, plans and you will shine and thrive surely.

"Magic is believing in yourself, if you can do that, you can make anything happen." Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

There is nothing much to say except this: never give up, hold on, keep going, you have strength, you possess the ultimate talent, you are valuable and wonderful. Go after your passion and never look back. Follow the path to your freedom. You are the solution and you are the problem. So be part of the solution and solve the problem.

Here are some excellent quotes to uplift your souls: I love them.

"Lots of people limit their possibilities by giving up easily.
Never tell yourself this is too much for me.
It's no use. I can't go on.
If you do you're licked, and by your own thinking too.
Keep believing and keep on keeping on."
Norman Vincent Peale

Our greatest weakness lies in giving up.
The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.
Thomas Edison

Never give in, never give in, never; never; never;
never – in nothing, great or small, large or petty – never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense
- Winston Churchill

It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer.
~Albert Einstein

Don't be discouraged. It's often the last key in the bunch that opens the lock.
~Author Unknown

Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
~Robert Schuller

Don't let the fear of the time it will take
to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it.
The time will pass anyway;
we might just as well put that passing time to the best possible use.
~Earl Nightingale

You don't become enormously successful
without encountering and overcoming
a number of extremely challenging problems."
Mark Victor

"Great works are performed,
not by strength, but by perseverance."

The Present Financial Institutes Are The Modern Temples Of Money!!!

Ancient Babylonian laws indicate clearly that the ancient temples occupied the most important positions. It received income from its estates, from tithes and other fixed dues, as well as from the sacrifices (a customary share) and other offerings of the faithful—besides money and permanent gifts.

The temples became great granaries and storehouses and were also the city archives. The temple had its responsibilities. The poor farmers came to the temple to borrow seed, grain, or supplies for harvesters etc. The king's power over the temple was not proprietary, but administrative. The king borrowed from it but repaid like other borrowers. The similar phenomena we see in the present context where governments of the world have no proprietary over financial institutes other than administrative. The governments have been restricted and kept outside the temple of money. They can avail the services of temple by borrowing money on the promise to pay back the debt with interests.

The present federal monetary system of the world acts like the modern temple of money. It is independent of state's interference but acts as the banker for the government and people. It is the modern god of people and money. It supplies all the money and creates money out of thin air like magic.

The point I want to make here is this: we have adopted the same old system of Babylonian laws to solve our present socioeconomic condition. I suppose that it is not the best invention and discovery of mankind so far. It is merely an imitation and you know there is nothing new for the new world and new context. We have been sweeping the dirt with old brooms and old brooms can't sweep properly all the dirt away. We have borrowed this idea and it is not serving its people properly.

Humans have reached great breakthroughs in technology, innovation, machinery and softwares, can't we reach another breakthrough in 'financial technology' which can guarantee the society to lead a worthy life of praise, honour and respect? Most certainly yes, we can innovate a system that caters to everybody's needs and surly it will be a successful existence on the earth.

Why not reform our present federal monetary system which has derailed the world economy and through quantitative easing aka printing more and more money that has only depleted the money value so much that there is hyper-inflationary like uncomfortable situation? If smart people are able to invent internet, google, youtube, facebook, spacecraft, rocket, nuclear energy etc then surely we will be able to figure out ways to solve economic crisis with new technology that suits the humanity best. Let's look forward to the new dawn of discovery, innovation, invention and change and transformation.

Don't Ever Lose The Sight Of Your Fortune!!!

Many students join the schools, colleges and universities with a goal and focus to study and graduate with good grades hoping to have a better lifestyle. Every year fresh students apply for jobs with good intentions to excel in life but there is one common factor that disables these people and that is lack of focus on the sight of their fortune.

Almost all people seek to make their future brighter but they lose the sight of their fortune because many other entertaining activities derail their attention and focus as a result they all falter and fail in realizing their fortune. By fortune here I mean the freedom to pursue their independent goals and ambitions.

I wonder if these people persist long enough in focusing on their fortune, goal or purpose, they can truly surprise themselves. Many people go off course because there are many silly things that take their energy and focus for example the short-term entertainment, fun, friends, short-term gratification etc. These activities appear so alluring to the students that they get carried away by the immediate pleasure gratification.

My only advice is never to lose the sight of one's fortune because fortune will offer great lifestyle for the rest of life and thereby live in freedom, peace, happiness and health. People do fall down once in a while but they should never lose the sight of their fortune. There are many great men and women who never lost the sight of their fortune such as Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Edison, Wright Brothers, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Mother Teresa, Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela and many others. These people held on to their fortune, purpose, mission and goals until they achieved them though it was not so easy to keep the focus.

Maintain your focus on your goals no matter what because that is what you want to get, be, have and enjoy in life. Don't ever lose the sight of your fortune because you won't be happy any longer than you think so. Pursue your fortune rather than the fake fortune which allures us so easily by being full of fun and pleasure for a brief time. But always remember that you don't give in to such immediate notion of fortune or fun.

In the long run, what really matters is how close you come to your destiny and what it offers you in the long run. Don't get fooled by little things that seem to be promising but they don't have long term guarantee for your fortune.

Where Are We Heading To?

Human destiny on this planet is easily predictable and at the same time controllable because our repeated habits of past history don't change over time. The past habits and grave errors continue to outlast our memory and knowledge. At this point of history, a question that arises in mind often is "where are we heading to?" Are we heading towards inevitable doom and gloom or vigorous economic boom and prosperity?

Human fate on earth is not at all unpredictable today. If we understand and recall to mind the past history of yesteryears we can easily know what is going to happen to the mankind here on earth. Even a small child can predict what is the future going to be in this 21st century if we continue to behave as we have been used to for such a long period of time.

As long as we pay less attention to the lessons that we could learn from our past mistakes, it is obvious where we would all end up. Our fate will be the same as Babylonians, Egyptians, Mayans, Peru and Indus valley civilization who no longer exist today. These people flourished, grew, developed and had a great civilization but they all perished in time and space. We can discover only their remains of artifacts, arts, city designs and monuments. They became a history of the past for us. Are we not going to become a history of the past for the new generation who are to come?

I wonder why our government representatives and self-made leaders can't act responsibly to write a history which could define humans as real children of God created in the same image and likeness? The recent recession has engulfed the whole world like a full solar eclipse where only darkness seems to pervade though there is light, hope and faith. This economic crisis is not the first one to occur in the history of human existence. Our forefathers witnessed it before and today we are witnessing it again and I am afraid our children won't have to see this gloom time.

If we think over the events of the past and analyze it carefully, we find that we are only repeating the same errors, mistakes and habits even now. We haven't learned the valuable lessons from our errors. It seems as though we are cursed to fate of making same blunders over and over again. Why can't we be awakened to new light, new hope, new ways and new system to handle our human situation? I think we will be able to solve it easily.

So, where do we want to go from here? Are we making a right decision to survive and thrive or are we heading towards inevitable ruins of past civilization? Human beings have always opposed a harmonious existence on the earth since the dawn of human presence on the earth. Should we allow the same thing to continue even in this new century? The decision will depend on where we are heading to. Let's know the consequences of our decision and action well before taking any drastic decision.

There Is Gold Dust In The Air For Everyone!

The onset of recent economic recession, which started in mid 2007 stretching up until 2011 and most likely it will extend to 2012 or 2013 has caused so much damage to human harmony, existence and prosperity today. Amidst such condition, people tend to forget that there is still gold dust in the air for everyone and instead they experience depression, ill health, loneliness, financial lack and a sense of complete failure.

I would like to suggest here that people should not become victims of this economic recession rather they must exercise their internal power to choose the optimism and look for gold dust in the air. What people look for they find it and what they don't look for, they don't. It is pretty obvious that people must seek things which they desire from their hearts.

I understand that people are at lowest ebb emotionally, physically, socially and financially but they should not remain so because they have the power of thought as an instrument for success and better life. During this hard time, people must learn the right use of their mind to become healthy, happy, prosperous and peaceful.

If you are having a hard time financially, you got to change your perception and attitude. Assume the attitude of seeing gold dust in the air and it will turn out to be as you wish and hope.

In India, recently onion price skyrocketed causing tears among people due to short supply and fuel price hike has hit people hard because inflation is high. I believe people should be optimistic though there seems to be no gold dust in sight. Gold dust is there in the air and be strong to look for.

There is gold dust in the air for you...

Don't Give Away Your Powers!

We all of us face some challenging situations one time or the other. Sometimes, our association with people may not serve our purpose and in turn such association could easily influence us negatively. We experience ill health, loneliness, financial lack, depression and a sense of complete failure.

What should be done in such situations? We all need to hold on to our powers, powers that reside within us, which could redeem us from blue feelings and put us into action. Humans live on three planes and many people live only on physical plane while a few people are able to access to spiritual and mental plane. Those who live on physical plane easily give away their powers to those who question and raise doubts.

Don't lose your powers to those people who operate on physical plane. They suck your energy and drain your enthusiasm so much that nothing is left behind. When somebody talks negative, ignore and move out of such talks because that only degenerates you and makes you look little. Don't allow the negative vibes steal away your powers, the negative remarks, negative opinions and discouraging words or voices.

Try not to avoid sharing your dreams, goals and plans to those who don't have dreams and goals because they will talk you out and you will lose your powers to pursue them. It is better that you continue to go behind your dreams because you know them better than others. Have your powers to serve you reach your goals and don't allow others to steal them away.

Try to live on mental and spiritual planes because at this level you will have your powers to pursue what you want to accomplish. Your goals and dreams will appear possible and achievable. You will be motivated to go after them. I am sure, everybody knows one thing that we do possess higher powers within us, if utilized properly can work miracle for us and many who operate by physical plane seeing the positive results of mental and spiritual plane conclude them as miracles. Do hold on to your powers and use them wisely, mentally and spiritually.

You can choose to be all or you can choose to be less. Why not stretch up to the full measure of the challenge and see what all you can do?" Jim Rohn

"You cannot change your destination overnight, but you can change your direction overnight." Jim Rohn

"Decision making can sometimes seem like inner civil war." Jim Rohn

"Don't say, "If I could, I would." Say, "If I can, I will." Jim Rohn

"It doesn't matter which side of the fence you get off on sometimes. What matters most is getting off!" Jim Rohn

"You cannot make progress without making decisions." Jim Rohn

"We generally change ourselves for one of two reasons: inspiration or desperation."Jim Rohn

"If you don't like how things are, change it! You're not a tree." Jim Rohn

"I used to say, "I sure hope things will change." Then I learned that the only way things are going to change for me is when I change." Jim Rohn

Read Books And Build Your Library!

"Miss a meal if you have to, but don't miss a book." Jim Rohn

As the new year begins, it is a good idea to read books and build your library because books open the mind to new horizon and possibilities. I didn't have a good habit to read books but when my mentor told me to read as many books as I could, I decided to cultivate the habit of reading books. It paid me a great reward and I succeeded in reading books which interested me.

Majority of people miss reading books and I can understand where they stand and what they feel or think about reading or not reading books because I was one of them. People have favourite restaurants to eat their favourite meal but they have not found a favourite place to feed their mind. They miss on reading books and miss everything that a book could unfold and unravel the mystery.

When you buy a book, you start building your library and that is how your knowledge and information expand. With each book you read and buy, you grow higher and higher and then a great reward comes your way. There is so much gain in reading books as you get the opportunity to learn many valuable life changing information. Acquire books and read them to set your life on course.

Start with a book, read it and continue to read another and then by year end, your library will have 365 books. You must be ravenous enough to acquire them for your future and better life. Read books that suit you and enable you to excel. Don't read trashy things instead read books that increase your knowledge.
