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

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...

Is Your Life In Order?

There are many laws existing and are still being made on a daily basis all over the world to bring a harmony and peace in the world. We expect the world to run smoothly by following certain laws. When somebody commits crimes we punish them just to set the world in order. There are two powerful laws- man made laws and the original laws, which we know as natural laws.

When there is a chaos in the society, at human level, we control the situation by making people to observe laws and if they don't follow the man made laws we give them punishment so that harmony and order is kept intact. I don't know whether it is good to punish people when they don't follow the man made laws. According to human standard it is a crime and disrespect and we humans are quick to point out disorder and indiscipline. At human level we all agree that it is good to observe the man made laws as if they are absolute and devoid of any errors.

What about the natural laws that are very powerful in the universe? Why don't we follow the natural order and adhere to its natural disciplines? We humans don't believe that is a good idea to follow them because they don't impose such laws on us when we don't observe them. We humans have deforested the trees, the forest and land by overuse that the nature is left with no other choice than to bring orders in the human world.

Our human life is not in order. We got to put ourselves in right order. We experience limitation, discord and other irregularities because our thinking, emotions, bodies, financial affairs and all phases of our lives are not in order. If we want things to go smoothly, we need to bring order in our thinking, feeling, beliefs, bodies and emotions. Any chaos happens because we don't have an order in our philosophy of life. We don't adhere to the natural laws but we follow the man made laws to keep the world going.

Set your life in order by thinking correct, feeling positive and good, and believing that your life is wonderful and has a meaning and purpose to accomplish. I know for sure that people can live a wonderful life, if their lives are settled in order. Many people follow the higher laws, the natural order to live a harmonious life on earth. Many times our thinking is not up to the mark and that causes a rift in our order.

If you understand the natural world, we can really think, feel, believe and do good things. We are inherently good and potential so there is no way we can be toppled down from living an orderly life with ourselves. Nature corrects itself and we need to follow that order too. The trees shed their old leaves and repair their barks when there is a cut on the stem or branch. Similarly we need to mend things that are not in order and so that we can peacefully live in order with the natural laws.

If you experience limitation, negative results, sickness, relationship on the rocks, financial disaster, quarrel and unforgiving manner, then you need to know that there is no order in your thinking and feeling as a result you experience all the negative results in your life. You should not be surprised if you encounter turmoil in your life because you have attracted them by living a disorderly life. You must bring order in your life to live in harmony, peace, health and abundance.
