We are all so very blessed...

 

Often I find people complaining and talking in a not so well language about themselves, their situations, etc. Most people keep whining and groaning but yet do nothing to solve their problems.
I am sure that we would have all come across people who keep bitching about their work place, their peers, their bosses, their family members, their destiny and everything remotely connected with them but do nothing to get away from all these issues that they keep complaining.

It is often found that these people are not able to make any changes as any sensible person would want them to make. They are a victim of blind spots within them or internal programs running deep inside them without their even knowing about its existence !

Most people are behaving in this manner for no fault of theirs but, due to the manner which they have been brought up in life or their childhood experiences which goes on to build the belief systems in each one of them. It is increasingly difficult to get over behavioral patterns created as a result of events, situations or surrounding environment of our childhood.

Most of us create comfort zones even if we may dislike them but yet find ourselves not able to exert our own self to come out of these comfort zones that we have created for ourselves. As a clinical hypnotherapist, I have come across people who have created comfort zones for themselves even in pain !!
These are issues which cannot be addressed at the conscious level but need to be remedied deep inside the sub-conscious. And, as soon as the internal programs causing the reported issues of the client are deleted or replaced with the appropriate counter programming, the reported problems vanish and we have an entirely new person in the client who is rid of most off the negativity that he or she had accumulated since childhood and replaced with positivity leading to a positive approach to life's challenges by the individual.



For me, the change from a customer service engineer to a healer and Life coach has been very natural and in progressive manner. Earlier, I was attending to office automation and IT products and solving their issues by examining the internal circuit wiring and aligned motor activities. Today, I work with human beings resolving their issues by correcting their internal programs (which may be behaving as a malware and interfering with their original operating system) and hence bringing about the reported issues for which the client would have come to me. This could be in the form of performance or career related problems, parenting issues, relationship problems, physical illness, mental illness, etc.

As an engineer I am fascinated by how most of the problems get resolved by harmonizing the mind-body-soul connect. It makes me believe that "Ignorance is no longer a Bliss" in our days. Ignorance of subjects which we are never taught in any school leads to most of the problems in our life. Sadly, Life does not come with an operations manual. But ancient civilization had done lot of research work and left behind a lot of the wisdom accumulated by them over ages for us. Alas, we are not even aware of these - forget about implementing them to enrich our lives.





In my effort to reach out to many of those people who are stuck in various walks of life, I am coming out with online training and webinars (web based seminars) to give a better perspective as to where lies the solutions to life's most pressing and challenging issues in a simple lay man's language. These are deliberately kept as short lessons so that we don't get overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information and procrastinate and put off the learning. I have created a Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/GetSuccessRecipes/.

Request, those who are on Facebook - please visit and LIKE the page for getting some really cool stuff regularly. I request your professional feedback on the contents so that together, we could make the lives of our fellow beings better and make this world a better place.

Thanking you for your attention,

Kind regards,

The future is full of promise for one who shows initiative.

Some years ago, three brothers left the farm to work in the city. They were all hired by the same company at the same pay. Three years later, Jim was being paid $500 a month, Frank was receiving $1,000, but George was now making $1,500.

Their father decided to visit the employer. He listened to the confused father and said, "I will let the boys explain for themselves."

Jim was summoned to the supervisor's office and was told:

"Jim, I understand the Far East Importers has just brought in a large transport plane loaded with Japanese import goods. Will you please go over to the airport and get a cargo inventory?"

Three minutes later, Jim returned to the office. "The cargo was one thousand bolts of Japanese silk," Jim reported. "I got the information over the telephone from a member of the crew."

When Jim left, Frank, the $1,000 a month brother, was called. "Frank," said the supervisor, "I wish you'd go out to the airport and get an inventory of the cargo plane which was just brought in by Far East Importers."

An hour later, Frank was back in the office with a list showing that the plane carried 1,000 bolts of Japanese silk, 500 transistor radios, and 1,000 hand painted bamboo trays. George, the $1,500 a month brother, was given identical instructions. Working hours were over when he finally returned.

"The transport plane carried one thousand bolts of Japanese silk," he began. "It was on sale at sixty dollars a bolt, so I took a two-day option on the whole lot. I have wired a designer in New York offering the silk at seventy-five dollars a bolt. I expect to have the order tomorrow. I also found five hundred transistor radios, which I sold over the telephone at a profit of $2.30 each. There were a thousand bamboo trays, but they were of poor quality, so I didn't try to do anything with them."

When George left the office, the employer smiled. "You probably noticed," he said, "that Jim doesn't do what he's told, Frank does only what he'd told, but George does without being told."

The future is full of promise for one who shows initiative.

Overcoming Fear and Facing Fear

Overcoming Fear and Facing Fear

Fear is a natural feeling yet it remains terribly difficult to overcome. The question is, is there really a way to overcome your fears? One of the things that causes our fear is thinking negatively. Have you ever realized that 80 to 90 percent of what we worry every single day of our life never really comes into reality? You should not let fears rule your life.


There are different kinds of fear: fear of rejection, fear of failure or fear of making mistakes. You should know that having this kind of fear will not help you to succeed. Fear is an obstacle or hindrance on your way to success. Watch the following videos below and start overcoming and facing your fears.


The phrase "do it anyway" holds special meaning for me because of the following words that were found written on the wall in Mother Teresa's home for children in Calcutta. They are attributed to her: 

"People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. 

"If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. 

"If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway. 

"If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway. 

"What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway. 

"If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway. 

"The good you do today will often be forgotten. Do good anyway. 

"Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway. 

"In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway."

 On your journey and inevitable achievement of great success, bear in mind this trenchant observation of Robert Frost: 

"In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: It goes on." 

I like this quote for two reasons. First, it means that no one is indispensable, which is why it's so important that no matter how important or successful we may become, we should be on our toes to remain modest, friendly, and respectful to all. 

The second message I take away from Frost's words is, "This will pass." All things do. For those who suffer, this message is a gift of solace. Everytime, I am faced with a problem - I remind myself - "This will pass," and it gives me solace. i have internalized this mantra and it helps me get through difficult periods. There may come a time in your life, hopefully not for a long while and perhaps never, if you may be so blessed, that either you or a loved one will need to hear this message. At such times remember, "This will pass." It will give comfort.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox wrote a poem on this subject … 

THIS TOO SHALL PASS AWAY 

A mighty monarch in the days of old

Made offer of high honor, wealth, and gold, 

To one who should produce in form concise 

A motto for his guidance, terse yet wise-- 

A precept, soothing in his hours forlorn, 

Yet one that in his prosperous days would warn. 

Many the maxims sent the king, men say. 

The one he chose: "This too shall pass away." 

Oh, jewel sentence from the mine of truth! 

What riches it contains for age or youth.

No stately epic, measured and sublime, 

So comforts, or so counsels, for all time 

As these few words. Go write them on your heart 

And make them of your daily life a part. 

Has some misfortune fallen to your lot? 

This too will pass away—absorb the thought. 

And wait; your waiting will not be in vain, 

Time gilds with gold the iron links of pain. 

The dark today leads into light tomorrow; 

There is no endless joy, no endless sorrow. 

Are you upon earth's heights? No cloud in view? 

Go read your motto once again: 

This too Shall pass away; fame, glory, place and power, 

They are but little baubles of the hour, 

Flung by the ruthless years down in the dust. 

Take warning and be worthy of God's trust. 

Use well your prowess while it lasts; leave bloom, 

Not blight, to mark your footprints to the tomb. 

The truest greatness lies in being kind, 

The truest wisdom in a happy mind. 

He who desponds, his Maker's judgment mocks; 

The gloomy Christian is a paradox. 

Only the sunny soul respects its God. 

Since life is short we need to make it broad; 

Since life is brief we need to make it bright. 

Then keep the old king's motto well in sight, 

And let its meaning permeate each day. 

Whatever comes, This too shall pass away.

Nurse reveals the top 5 regrets people make on their deathbed...

For many years I worked in palliative care. My patients were those who had gone home to die. Some incredibly special times were shared. I was with them for the last three to twelve weeks of their lives. People grow a lot when they are faced with their own mortality.

I learnt never to underestimate someone’s capacity for growth. Some changes were phenomenal. Each experienced a variety of emotions, as expected, denial, fear, anger, remorse, more denial and eventually acceptance. Every single patient found their peace before they departed though, every one of them.

When questioned about any regrets they had or anything they would do differently, common themes surfaced again and again. Here are the most common five:

1. I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
 
This was the most common regret of all. When people realize that their life is almost over and look back clearly on it, it is easy to see how many dreams have gone unfulfilled. Most people had not honoured even a half of their dreams and had to die knowing that it was due to choices they had made, or not made.

It is very important to try and honour at least some of your dreams along the way. From the moment that you lose your health, it is too late. Health brings a freedom very few realise, until they no longer have it.

2. I wish I didn’t work so hard.

This came from every male patient that I nursed. They missed their children’s youth and their partner’s companionship. Women also spoke of this regret. But as most were from an older generation, many of the female patients had not been breadwinners. All of the men I nursed deeply regretted spending so much of their lives on the treadmill of a work existence.

By simplifying your lifestyle and making conscious choices along the way, it is possible to not need the income that you think you do. And by creating more space in your life, you become happier and more open to new opportunities, ones more suited to your new lifestyle.

3. I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.

Many people suppressed their feelings in order to keep peace with others. As a result, they settled for a mediocre existence and never became who they were truly capable of becoming. Many developed illnesses relating to the bitterness and resentment they carried as a result.

We cannot control the reactions of others. However, although people may initially react when you change the way you are by speaking honestly, in the end it raises the relationship to a whole new and healthier level. Either that or it releases the unhealthy relationship from your life. Either way, you win.

4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.

Often they would not truly realise the full benefits of old friends until their dying weeks and it was not always possible to track them down. Many had become so caught up in their own lives that they had let golden friendships slip by over the years. There were many deep regrets about not giving friendships the time and effort that they deserved. Everyone misses their friends when they are dying.

It is common for anyone in a busy lifestyle to let friendships slip. But when you are faced with your approaching death, the physical details of life fall away. People do want to get their financial affairs in order if possible. But it is not money or status that holds the true importance for them. They want to get things in order more for the benefit of those they love. Usually though, they are too ill and weary to ever manage this task. It is all comes down to love and relationships in the end. That is all that remains in the final weeks, love and relationships.

5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.

This is a surprisingly common one. Many did not realise until the end that happiness is a choice. They had stayed stuck in old patterns and habits. The so-called ‘comfort’ of familiarity overflowed into their emotions, as well as their physical lives. Fear of change had them pretending to others, and to their selves, that they were content. When deep within, they longed to laugh properly and have silliness in their life again. When you are on your deathbed, what  others think of you is a long way from your mind. How wonderful to be able to let go and smile again, long before you are dying.

Life is a choice. It is YOUR life. Choose consciously, choose wisely, choose honestly. Choose happiness.

The world is mine ( a wonderful poem )...

The World is Mine

Today, upon a bus, I saw a very beautiful woman,
And wished I were as beautiful.
When suddenly she rose to leave,
I saw her hobble down the aisle.
She had one leg and wore a crutch.
But as she passed, she passed a smile.
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.
I have two legs; the world is mine.

I stopped to buy some candy,
The lad who sold it had such charm,
I talked with him, he seemed so glad,
If I were late, it'd do no harm.
And as I left, he said to me,
"I thank you, you've been so kind.
It's nice to talk with folks like you.
You see," he said, "I'm blind."
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.
I have two eyes; the world is mine.

Later while walking down the street,
I saw a child I knew.
He stood and watched the others play,
but he did not know what to do.
I stopped a moment and then I said,
"Why don't you join them dear?"
He looked ahead without a word,
I forgot, he couldn't hear.
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine,
I have two ears; the world is mine.

With feet to take me where I'd go,
With eyes to see the sunset's glow,
With ears to hear what I'd know.
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine,
I've been blessed indeed, the world is mine.

What is the benefit of joining a course on Success Secrets?

 

We all yearn to be successful. Even take a few steps in the right direction and then get back to the old routine..Why?

It is noticed that we tend to create a comfort zone and rarely want to come out of it. As a Hypnotherapist and Life Coach, I have seen people creating  comfort zone (even when they are in pain) and then not wanting to come out of it - yet they expect different results.

We also know that if we continue doing what we have been doing till now, we will get the same results as we were getting till now. If we are looking for different results we must make suitable corrections/modifications to what we do.

Wanting a new result is not sufficient. We have to think and act different. Joining this course, will provide you the regular dose of motivation and also the understanding of how to bring about permanent changes.

The various modules are structured to provide you with the right dose of information, in the right manner and in the right time.

Go ahead and register yourself at http://getsuccessrecipes.com for joining the free online course.

Witness to history being created....

 Fall of the Soviet Union - 1991.

Let me share some of the pictures of the fall of the mighty Soviet Union. The pro-democracy fever swept across a country with eleven time zones and led to the creation of many countries that were non-existent till them and were a part of the great Union of Soviet Socialistic Republics (USSR).

Hundreds of thousands of protesters pack Moscow's Manezh Square next to the Kremlin, on March 10, 1991, demanding that Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev and his fellow Communists give up power. The crowd, estimated at 500,000, was the biggest anti-government demonstration in the 73 years of since the Communists took power, and came a week before the nationwide referendum on Gorbachev's union treaty. (AP Photo/Dominique Mollard)

Scenes like this were a common sight all over the USSR with empty stores fuelliing the peoples's anger against the ruling regime of the day and the communist ideals. Large ques for even basic food items like bread and milk were the norm of the day. People were moving from pillar to post in search of basic day-to-day requirements.

Troops were called in. But angry protestors took on the might of the Soviet army. In this picture, aprotestor is seen mounting a tank infront of the White House. The grand building of Moscow State University looms in the background.

 Boris Yeltsin addressing the crowds from outside the the White House.

 Mikhail Gorbachev(the last Soviet President) addressing the nation on TV.

 Finally, victory to the peaceful protestors. The birth of democratic Russia. Pictures of the crowd at the Manezh Square near the Kremlin. The St. Basil's cathedral can be seen in the background.

Crowds celebrating their hard fought victory. Below, is the statue of the founder of KGB which the people brought down immediately after their victory. For years, this statute was a landmark monument near the Dyetsky Mir (Children's World) store.

Memorials of Communist era being brought down.

For one of the last times, the Soviet flag flies over the Kremlin at Red Square in Moscow, on Saturday night, December 21, 1991. The flag was replaced by the Russian flag on New Year's. (AP Photo/Gene Berman)

Motivational speaker Zig Ziglar dies at 86.....Rest in Peace...

Today, we're very sad to have lost the legendary Zig Ziglar after a short battle with pneumonia at age 86. Widely known for his motivational speeches and corporate training to help better people's lives and careers, Ziglar inspired many businesses, salespeople, and marketers -- in addition to countless others -- by showing us the "The Ziglar Way."

Ziglar was the author of more than 29 sales and motivational books, including See You at the Top and Over the Top. Because he has motivated so many marketers and salespeople throughout his more than 50-year long career, we thought a great way to honor his life would be to compile a list of some of our favorite Zig Ziglar quotations -- quotations that any marketer, salesperson, or business can learn from.
