Getting seriously committed to building an unbreakable internal world was the game-changer in my case that absolutely revolutionized my external world.
I have left my stories behind they were good they were bad doesn’t matter … all that matters to me now is how I see the ending and that’s completely up to me. I can choose to waste my time crying about all the lost opportunities, lost happiness …but doing that won’t bring those times back to me, will it? So what I choose instead is to clean my slate and start writing a new story again …this time me being the director and also the actor… So I know exactly how it will unfold. And this gives me the confidence and the courage and the surety of being alive…
Yes, we as human beings are great at lying to ourselves and blaming anything lacking in us on others. But the truth is that you are the cause and the creator of your current life. And the day you decide to master yourself you begin to master your world.
One very important lesson that I have learned from people who have mastered their lives in spite of huge odds against them is that they have a common idea of happiness…. What is real happiness? Mostly it is when something external happens to us which is pleasant. Or we do something and receive something which satisfy us.(again external stimuli). It is always ‘when this and this happens I shall be happy’.
What is known is that happiness is an internal state, not external. Happiness is nothing but a state of mind. A beggar can be happy with an empty stomach whereas a rich man can be miserable with a full stomach… So happiness cannot be measured with yardsticks and progress charts .. Happiness is your own idea of it. It’s unique to every person… you can be happy only if you decide to be happy no matter what…
A poet once said,” I hear and I forget, I see and hear and I remember however I see, hear and do, I understand and succeed “. So it’s very important that whatever you hear today you make it into action asap or you will definitely forget.
Before I begin I want you to note down this very important piece. I have taken this piece from Napolean Hill’s famous book ‘Think and Grow Rich’ a must-read for all.
Whatever the mind can conceive and believe the mind can achieve ….
Please read carefully what I am about to write as you will discover the secret that will unlock the power of achieving whatever you wish to achieve.
“Let me call to attention a great power that is under your control, a power which is greater than poverty, greater than your lack of education, greater than all your fears and superstitions.. it is the power to take the reins of your mind and direct to whatever you want to achieve, this profound power is the gift of the creator, this must be definitely the greatest gift creator has given to man for this is the only gift that man has all the right and unchallengeable control. When you speak of what is lacking in your life you are only directing your mind power to it, cause its true whatever your mind feeds upon your mind attracts to you ..it is very important that you understand that all success begins with the definiteness of a purpose and precisely what you want from life.”
The only limitation is what you set in your mind. Or permit others to set up in your mind.
On Page 1 write down a clear description of your major desire in your life.
Be it one circumstance, position, or a thing that you are willing to accept as your idea of success… And remember your limitations are those which you set up in your own mind or permit others to set up for you.
On-Page 2 write down a clear statement of precisely what you intend to give for what you receive in life and,
Page 3 memorize both your statements ..what you desire and what you intend to give in return …at least a dozen times daily and end your statement with this expression of gratitude for blessings you have received at birth: ‘I ask not of divine providence for more riches, but more wisdom for which to accept and use more wisely the riches I received at birth in the form of the power to control and direct my mind to whatever ends I desire…’
If you can do this daily express it as humbly as you can you will see a profound change in not just your life but also in the lives of others around you …
Now coming back to the rules of success…
- The foundation stones of honesty character, faith, integrity, love, and loyalty are necessary for a balanced success that includes health, wealth, and happiness. As you go ahead in life you will discover that if you compromise any of these principles you will end up with only a beggar portion of what life has to offer.
The story of life repeatedly assures you that if you will use what you have, you will be given more to use. Life also tells you that if you don’t use it, you will lose it. - The man was designed for accomplishment engineered for success and endowed with the seeds of greatness.” When you adopt this belief you will definitely succeed.
Your success and your happiness start with you. - Have a dream… if your dreams are not big enough you ain’t dreaming at all.. your why’s should be so big, your what’s should be so big that when you look at it you should go like …omg! Now how am I gonna do that?
- Be committed. Always respect your word to yourself. If you commit to something make sure you stick to it no matter what.. specially to yourself.. we are always trying to do things and commit to others but not to ourselves and this is very important ..Commit to yourself cause YOU OWE YOU.
- Believe in yourself – you can learn anything you want in the world, all the techniques in the world, but if you don’t believe in yourself, it won’t happen for you … you got to focus on yourself, you have to convince you to sell yourself every day to you, you will begin to see the difference in the things you are doing…Ability to perform a job … to achieve your objectives. This is what it takes this is my day. I am going to get it ….
- Know what you want in life, what you want to do, how much money you want to have what kind of career you want for yourself .. know what you want …find out what you want, and wake up and go after it…
- Work on your gift – all of us are born with a gift… turn your passion into profit…
- You are your rescue- I had to be willing to drastically transform myself to become the woman I am today in order to have the beautiful life I have today. Only I can rescue myself. No one can do it for me…
- Use affirmations the power of I AM … I remember the one affirmation that really helped me overcome so many obstacles in my life was Day by day in every way I am getting better and better… yes it helped me come a long way, physically, mentally emotionally and spiritually…
- Do something different – in order to have something different you are going to have to do something different, in order to have something more you have to do something you haven’t done before.
- Pay attention to yourself.. – this moment what type of clothes you are wearing or what car you are driving or what kind of home you live in does not determine you. what determines your quality of life is how you are feeling inside , how joyful and happy .
- Change the way you look at things – the things you look at will change. From time to time check within yourself. How are you feeling, what are your thoughts, How do you relate to your surroundings. Pay attention to everything going within you and realign yourself accordingly, you will instantly find inner peace and balance.
The only one last thing that I would like to share with you all today is that the moment I realized how important I was to myself, my life changed completely. I fell in love with who I am and the world fell in love with me all over again. So always remember the only person you need to impress is you, the only person you need to respect is YOU, the only person who is ever going to stand by you is YOU. Don’t take me wrong I am not asking you to become self-centered but instead understanding that how you feel towards yourself will eventually influence how you feel towards the outside world. Hence If you feel loved you will feel love for others as well.
You are made in the likeness of the creator who made you, you have all his qualities within you. You have an unlimited potential ready to be unleashed. The only person holding you back is YOU. So open your mind, get over your limiting beliefs, release your past and walk into the infinite possibilities that you possess to create a life of your own. You create your life, your life is evidence of what you are up to so start living it mindfully …
The takeaway:
YOU HAVE A BREATHTAKING FUTURE AHEAD OF YOU. YOU CAN CREATE A REALITY WHERE YOU ARE EMPOWERED, ENRICHED, ENGAGED, AND FULL OF EXCITEMENT ABOUT THE POSSIBILITIES. YOU CAN BUILD A BUSINESS, THAT FILLS YOUR HEART AND YOUR BANK ACCOUNT. YOU CAN BE SURROUNDED BY FRIENDS WHO SUPPORT YOU, WHO TEACH YOU, AND ACT AS ROLE MODELS FOR YOU AS YOU PUSH YOURSELF TO GROW. YOU CAN HAVE POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH YOUR FAMILY, GROUNDED IN LOVE AND MUTUAL RESPECT. YOU CAN DICTATE YOUR LEGACY, STARTING TODAY, THROUGH THE CHOICES YOU MAKE AND THE EXAMPLE YOU SET. YOU CAN GO FROM A PLACE OF SCARCITY, FEELING LIKE YOU DON’T HAVE ENOUGH, TO A PLACE OF PROSPERITY AND ABUNDANCE BY MERELY CHANGING YOUR THOUGHTS. YES, WHAT I AM SAYING IS THAT INSIDE OF YOU, PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY, AND SPIRITUALLY THERE IS AN INCREDIBLE POTENTIAL JUST SCREAMING TO GET OUT. SO IMPORTANT THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THIS.
So Ladies Go on and write your own stories. It is never too late.
