The thing always happens that you really believe in; and the belief in a thing makes it happen.

The greatest discovery of any generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitude.
By William James

Listen to the Exhortation of the Dawn!
Look to this Day!
For it is Life, the very Life of Life.
In its brief course lie all the
Verities and Realities of your Existence.
The Bliss of Growth,
The Glory of Action,
The Splendor of Beauty;
For Yesterday is but a Dream,
And To-morrow is only a Vision;
But To-day well lived makes
Every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness,
And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope.
Look well therefore to this Day!
Such is the Salutation of the Dawn!
By Kalidasa

Answer 7

(Below is the complete text of a document I composed that I give to clients. I tell them that when they are in a negative mood, to scan it quickly and just pick the one thought that really fits for them in that situation - and just pop it, like an aspirin).

Positive Transformative Thoughts:

This too shall pass.

I ask not good fortune - I myself am good fortune.

What is the positive lesson in this experience?

Resist something and you make it stronger – accept something and it will evolve or fade away.

We create the life that we live – the goal is to do it consciously

Every weakness can be a strength and what seems like a strength can be a weakness

Every painful experience carries a gift

Our lives are a school - before birth we designed our curriculum for greatest growth

We can love others only as much as we love ourselves

Self indulgence (including self-destructive) feels good – self discipline feels even better

Action (especially constructive) is power

Feeling sad or empty leads us to search. If we had no reason to search, we would never find greater meaning, or closeness to God.

Every day of our lives we have a choice, to see the good, or to see the opposite

I can see myself as helpless if I choose. I can see myself as having options, choices and solutions if I choose to.

I am perfect the way I am – God loves me, so I will love me.

My growth and inner peace is independent of other people and outside circumstances.

My mission is unique – this world needs me and my gift.

Moods go in waves – if I am patient, this wave will pass.

The only feeling that really exists is love of God.

I am not here to compare myself to others – I am here to value myself and value others.

I will make music with the keys I have.

The more I give (to myself and to others) the happier I will be.

Oysters make irritations into pearls – I can do it too.

One day all this will be the wisdom and experience with which I help others.

Am I in a ‘low mood reality’? – If so, don’t use this time to evaluate anything.

A simple change of heart is sensed by others – if I am calm and constructive without anger, others will respond to that.

Take a positive and secure thought.

Don’t respond until you see them as innocent and doing the best that they can.

Live vertically – this is all between you and God.

Children think that love means getting what they want – adults know that loving is giving (including to the inner self).

My soul signed up for this for the purpose of my higher learning.

Create a ‘no shame, no self-criticism’ environment.

When others invalidate me or judge me or don’t care to understand me, it reminds me to listen with my heart to others - it also teaches me to value myself independently.

Don’t say ‘I don’t feel good right now’ – say ‘I don’t feel God right now’ – and then make a space for Him to be with you.

This event is a triviality compared to my mental health and inner peace.

If in the midst of suffering we strive to retain love and hope, we are rewarded with inner light that others can see and feel.

If someone makes important things petty and becomes angry over petty things, we should simply look upon them with compassion and pray for their eventual growth.

I let go of anger and sadness over the past or anxiety over the future The only moment I can act in is the present.

The only person I can control is me – I choose to act (constructively) rather than trying to control the actions and choices of others.

I accept it as it is and choose to use it for my personal growth.

Am I hurt – or is my pride hurt? I welcome the growth towards greater humility.

By viewing others as doing the best that they can, I choose to see everyone as a child of God.

Attack the problem, not the person (including self).

The other person was innocent, in pain, unaware, lacking skills, immature, lacking wisdom – I give them the benefit of the doubt.

I was innocent, in pain, unaware, lacking skills, immature, lacking wisdom that experience brings – I give myself the benefit of the doubt, knowing that I am always growing and learning.

The degree to which I accept God’s will determines the degree of joy in my life (even as I work for constructive change in my life, I still accept the present moment as God’s will).

Constructive action is an expression of personal power.

Choosing constructive thoughts is an expression of personal power.

My first choice for change is a choice to look at myself as having choices.

Thank God for the opportunity to refine my character.

Lets solutionize, not emotionalize or awfulize.

I am feeling copeful. I am feeling calm. I am feeling trusting of God. I am feeling powerful inside.

I am feeling kind to myself and others.

I am taking the space that I need.

I am doing something calming for myself.

I choose to reject options that will hurt me or hurt others.

There is always a choice that does not lead to hurting self or hurting others. If I cant see it now, I just need to give myself the time and space until I can see it.

Who can I ask for help? Who can I talk to?

What can I do that will make my inner child feel loved and valued?

What can I constructively learn from this situation for the future?

What are my hopes and dreams for the future? Can I envision having them in my mind right now?

What is my favorite positive fantasy? Can I experience it in my mind right now?

What is my favorite beautiful escape-place? Can I go there in my mind right now?

What song would I like to hear right now? Can I listen to it? If not, can I sing it to myself?

What can I eat right now that would really appeal to me?

Would sleeping right now help?

Can I take a walk?

What else would interest me right now – books, tv, computer, whatever?

What am I curious about right now?

Would I like to draw or write my thoughts and feelings?

Who is a person who I know loves me and understands and appreciates me?

Who can I call and talk to who I know needs my help?

What kind of person do I want to be for others in the future?

Is there someone who I understand and appreciate who really needs me around to feel that way about them?

Can I be someone in the future who others will go to because they know I have been there and I understand and value them?

What does my biggest and most powerful self look like?

What does my biggest and most powerful future look like?

What are the steps that I need to take over the years to get there?

Do I know someone who has achieved against all odds that I can talk to for support and coaching?

Is there someone negative in my life who I need to learn how to avoid or manage?

Who can I talk to for solutions on how to do this?

Is there someone in my life who I need to keep out of my life altogether? How can I do this?

What do I believe about life, the world, myself, God (or whatever I call Higher Power)?

What beliefs do others have that I choose not to share?

What are my special gifts? (if I don’t know, what are the gifts I wish the most that I had – this is usually a sign of what my potentials and areas of talent actually are).

I choose to believe in the beauty of my dreams.

I choose to believe in my own greatness.

The great life that I want will come to me through hard work and some pain – that’s just the way it is.

The people that I value are the ones who worked their way through hard times. This will be how others see and value me.

(Use in good health - all the best to you).

Answer 8

First category: People who are directionless hoi polloi. They neither use their mind nor listen to their heart. These are ‘The Raw Failures’.

Second category: People who dislike everything but pretend as if nothing matters to them. These are ‘The Sophisticated Failures’.

Third category: People who give maximum importance to themselves and expect the same from others. These are ‘The Pseudo Successful People’.

Final category is of those creative people, who try to innovate and find out new ways of living. These are ‘The Real Successful People’.



This is the time which would bring many positive changes in you if you make up your mind.

We fall in all the four categories at different points of time during our life or while playing different roles.

People who depend on destiny for everything become RAW FAILURES.

People who pretend to be indifferent to fame, money or appreciation become SOPHISTICATED FAILURES.

People who try for a while and achieve something, then feel that the single achievement is enough to see them through life, start stagnating. As a result their growth stops and they become PSEUDO-SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE.

Those rare people who make trying and achieving their habit, touch new zeniths of accomplishment and become REAL SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE.



Characteristics of four kinds of people:

Raw Failures:They don’t expect anything.
They say “I can’t do it”.
They live in cocoons away from all role models.
They don’t know where the problem is.


Sophisticated Failures:They expect miracles to happen.
They say “whether I do it or not, it doesn’t make a difference”.
They don’t accept the presence of the role models.
They avoid the problems.

Pseudo Successful People:They think whatever they do, is a miracle.
They say “I can do it, any moment” (the moment never comes)
They pretend to be role models.
They know where the problem is but don’t accept it.


Real Successful People:They make things (not miracles) happen.
They say “I can” and they do it also.
They are the real role models.
They try to find solutions to all problems.


RAW FAILURES: THE MENTAL MANNEQUINS
They are mobile mannequins i.e. physically mobile and mentally mannequins.
Secret of getting ahead is getting started but they don’t start because they ask themselves “What if I don’t go ahead, if I start”?


Don’t expect, accept.

Raw failures are busy thinking about LKK – LOG KYA KAHENGE.

Whenever raw failures take a decision first they think LKK.

: -When we appreciate or beg for pardon.
When we talk simple or speak jargon.
When we laugh more or cry less.
When we create history or make a mess.
When we go ahead or lag behind.
One question always crosses our mind LKK.


Never think – “Log Kya Kahenge” always think – “Aap Kya Kahenge”.


PROBLEM PYRAMID: - For successful people, each problem is an opportunity to create a solution.
For a failure, each opportunity is a problem which has to be solved.

Replace the word ‘problem’ in your dictionary with a ‘gift’. Whenever you have to say, “I have a problem” say, “I have a gift”.


The question is “Why do raw failures exaggerate the happenings of their lives?” They do it because:

1.They lack awareness.
2.They seek sympathy.
3.They seek approval.
4.They lack enthusiasm.

Raw failures get the sympathy by complaining sadly or noisily but regularly.

The more you speak about the past, the less you do about future.
SELF PITY

Best are the people who
respect themselves.

Good are the people who
understand themselves.

Mediocre are the people who
dislike themselves.

Worst are the people
who pity themselves.


They don’t think anything, they believe what others think.
They don’t say anything new, they say what they have heard before.
They don’t do anything themselves, they do what is told and can be easily done.


For people who succeed, change is a choice.
For people who fail, change is a compromise.

Experience is not what happens to a man. It is what a man does with what happens to him.


Life offers choices.

Choices offer confusion.

Confusion offers chaos

If you opt for Chaos,

you will remain a raw failure.

Choice is yours.

Come on,

Make the right choice.

GET SET GO…



SOPHISTICATED FAILURES: THE ZEALOUSLY JEALOUS

Sophisticated failures are not true to themselves. These people constantly lie to themselves about their own lives.


The question of utmost importance is ‘Why is a person so eager to offer excuses and that too of an unimaginable variety.’

The reasons are:

1)The person believes that his excuse is being accepted as true. He repeats it, he adds supporting facts to make it sound believable.

2)The person wants to show that he was right and the situation was wrong. He wants to blame others and keep himself free from any allegations.

3)The person wants the support of the listener. He really wants to win the approval of the listener so that his excuses will increasingly sound true.

4)Most important; every person loves to pamper himself and blame others. It is harsh and painful to accept one’s own fault. Most of us treat ourselves softly whenever it is possible.

We are fond of using sentences like…

“I tried my best but…”
“had the situation been better…”
“It is not my fault”
“Stars never favour me”
“It’s the wrong system everywhere”

The Sophisticated failure wants to escape from the pain, the humiliation and the stress involved in it.

Never give excuses, nor shrug them off, ACCEPT. Admit the reality with grace.

Disappointment begets jealousy. Comparison ignites it.

If you are jealous you don’t need any other enemy.


Hard work must be Rigorous, Regular, Rewarding.

Sophisticated failures never learn setting priorities is an iron-clad necessity.



Sophisticated failures use sentences like: -
•Where is the time?
•I am too busy to do such silly things.
•I need rest.
•I have my priorities and so I will do it later.


(Later never comes)

You cannot sit and stand at the same time.

If you cannot stand up for yourself, opportunities will never stand up for you.





PSEDUO SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE: THE PROUD PRETENDERS

Goals walk with life like milestones. As soon as we cross one, we set our eyes on the next one.

We generally confuse our career choices with our final aim. If that is so, the ultimate aim would be achieved before 25 years. What would a person do for the rest of his life?

There are two kinds of pseudo successful people. Egoists and Egotists. Egoists want to be the apple of every eye. Egotists want to be the talk of every town.


1)Pseudo successful people feel that they are impressing the other person by blowing their own trumpet.
2)They have the misconception that the listener will feel inferior and jealous. They try to dominate others by bragging.
3)Some of them suffer from the “I too” syndrome. Have you noticed those people in the background during a TV shoot or during a live Cricket Match, waving on screen? They want to be noticed. Similarly, braggers feel that they would be noticed by harping their tune endlessly.
4)Egotists feel that perhaps this is that last chance they have to speak about themselves. So they speak without batting an eyelid in between.
5)Most important, braggers are insecure and inferior people. They are afraid that they would not be noticed. They manipulate and as they are not sure of themselves.

Today mediocrity can obscure talent for some time or packaged mediocrity can confuse talent searchers.

If somebody is really the best he doesn’t need to scream it out.

“Why do these people offer judgement on others so easily”? The reasons are:-

Pseudo Successful Man always thinks that he is Mr. Right. Whatever he sees or thinks, he believes and then maintains it.

He doesn’t believe in giving “the benefit of doubt”. But where others are concerned, they are in a hurry to register a view in their minds.





THE DRIVING DIRECTIONS

Learning from failures
Is our concern.

CRITICISE LIKE A BURGER

HOW TO CRITICISE: -

CRITICISE DIRECTLY : Never criticise someone in his/her absence because

•If he/she finds out, you will be ashamed and embarrassed.
•If he/she doesn’t find out, what’s the use of criticising.
•When the criticised is not present, we generally speak more than required and others enjoy it.

Learn to be strong enough to say what you want to say on a person’s face or keep your mouth shut.

CRITICISE BY ZEROING IN : don’t beat around bush. Talk to the point and finish in a few words. We generally mix criticism with our personal biases and then our verbal attack goes on and on.

Criticism should be Concrete, Crisp, Clear.

CRITICISE WITHOUT BITTERNESS : We criticise out of habit. Learn to use words like ‘That’s great’ and ‘Wonderful’ more often. Every matter is like a diagonal line which can be stretched to both sides. You can make it sound really bad and almost hopeless if you want to. You can make it sound superb and absolutely wonderful if you want to.


We love to criticise and we hate to be criticised.




COMPLAIN LIKE A TIME BOMB

HOW TO COMPLAIN : -


Complain where required.
Complain at the right time in appropriate words.
Complain calmly.
Complain without exaggeration.
Don’t complain when the fault is your own.


If your complain is not reaching anywhere, why complain? It’s simply wastage of energy & time.

Have you ever seen a time bomb. It attacks, but on time with accuracy. Same should be your treatment of the complaint you want to make.

Complaint should be a Statement not a Judgement.
You cannot complain against the rain or type of soil if you haven’t sown well.


NURTURE TRUST WITHIN, LIKE A LITTLE BABY

HOW TO CULTIVATE TRUST WITHIN : -

“ I am a good human being with good intentions” Say it to yourself and stand by it.

Enjoy the positive things said about you, don’t mull over them.

Give the benefit of doubt.


Learn to trust as it binds us together while suspicion isolates us.

If someone breaks your trust, forgive him/her but don’t forget his/her name.


COMPARE LIKE A MIRROR

HOW TO COMPARE?

There is only one way to compare – Self Comparison.

If you compare your kid with his/her friend, imagine what would happen if your kid starts comparing you with the parents of his/her friend.

Try to broaden your own achievement frontiers everyday rather than looking at the achievement of others.





HOW NOT TO PROCRASTINATE

Learn to welcome difficulties.
Do a cost benefit analysis.
Take one step at a time.
Cheer yourself up.

Hope for the best, be prepared for the worst.

Persuade yourself to make a beginning.

Your achievement may not be big for others but it means a lot to you. So give a pat to yourself.

Appreciation is a lucid way of self motivation.





HOW NOT TO BRAG

Shun inferiority.
Prepare to win.
Watch your ambience while you brag.
Brag within.
Give yourself a pat in private.


Talking about oneself doesn’t improve one’s status.

Never think “I AM THE BEST” but always think “I AM SECOND TO NONE.”

Preparation is better than proclamation.

If the outcome is great, everybody talks about it. If the efforts are great, few would talk about it. But if you yourself start talking about them, those few would stop too.

Never praise yourself in public. That seems a show off.

HOW NOT TO PITY ONESELF

Let go.

Treat yourself realistically.

Develop your self esteem.


Never use failures as crutches, use them as a ladder.

Sharpen what you have. Forget what you don’t have.


HOW NOT TO STAGNATE

Live in the present.

Develop curiosity.

Hone your creativity.


It’s a common phenomenon to love that which has gone. And this leads to dissatisfaction with the present.

A child is the most curious person on this earth. For him, there aren’t just 7 wonders in the world. There are 7 million.





HOW NOT TO BE JUDGEMENTAL

Be flexible.

Just avoid declaring judgements.

Never hurry up.


We can have an opinion, not a judgement.



CHANGE : THE CONTINOUS CRUSADE

We change our hairstyles, shoes, room setting and feel better for a while. But this is merely a RIPPLE EFFECT.


For LEADING life, change is not essential. For LIVING life, change is a must.


THE UNIVERSAL LAW OF CHANGE

I can’t change anyone
Except myself

Nobody can change me
Except myself.

FOUNDATION OF OUR ATTITUDE : - I will respect myself. I will motivate myself. I will love myself.

We need to change our attitude with maximum positive energy which uplifts us to a plane of higher achievement and deeper satisfaction.

If you love yourself, you value yourself, you expect a lot of goodness from yourself.

Charity begins at home and so does love. If you cannot love yourself, you cannot love anyone else.

Love is commitment, if I love myself, I am committed to myself.

Those who believe in bettering their own records are real winners.

A perfect attitude is when we look inside for inspiration and our own hand pats us on our back.


Ask yourself :

If I can do it, why shouldn’t I?


Basis of all relationships in the long term is mutual respect.

Don’t demand respect, command it.




POWER THINKING – THE BRAIN GAIN


The most fertile land on the earth is the land of our mind.


Mind is an idea churning machine doing a 24/7 job.

Only the mind has the capacity to change everything, anytime and anywhere.

We waste most of our times thinking about what we want to happen rather than thinking about what we can make happen.


IMAGINE :


Had primitive man not given us the fire.

Had Edison not given us the electric bulb.

Had Bill Gates not given us the Windows.

Where we would have been.

Thank God, for giving us some people who used their mind.



FOR BROADENING YOUR ACHIEVEMENT FRONTIERS, FOR REALISING YOUR TRUE POTENTIAL.

TAKE A U TURN INSIDE


Taking a U turn means to look within, to look inside the mind.
Taking a U turn means to listen within, to listen to the music of the mind.
Taking a U turn means to find within a true friend.


Our body is a machine and the mind is the driver and we must drive as far as our mind takes us with achievement as the goal of our road.

Everyone leads life but the man who thinks, lives life and the man who creatively implements what he thinks, lives life kingsize.

POSITIVE THINKING + POWER THINKING = SUCCESS

People who don’t think, follow. People who think, lead.





SUCCESS ACCESSED

Remember :

If you aspire to reach cloud seven,
You will atleast land up at cloud four,
If you aspire to reach cloud first or second
You might end up at your rooftop.

To aspire is the stepping stone towards success. To aspire is to fix up one’s periodic goals to be used, one after another.

You MAY FAIL when you perspire. You WILL FAIL when you don’t. Choice is yours.

Nothing of worth can ever be achieved by mind if there is no heart to back it.

Passion inspires the tiring feet of
An athlete to run.

Passion instills hard work in you
To be number one.


Opportunities walk without making any noise. Tune your ears to listen to the footsteps of opportunity.

WHEN THERE ARE SOMETHINGS TO BE UNHAPPY ABOUT, THERE STILL ARE MANY THINGS TO BE HAPPY ABOUT.

If there is something to celebrate, appreciate. If there is nothing to celebrate, keep quite.

Build confidence to succeed. Stick to it when you fail.

Don’t laugh at people, laugh with people.

Never Imitate, Always Create.
