Facing your fears

Welcome Back!

Fear can be a hindrance in your success. If allowed to take control of your life, it will be a permanent detour on your journey of success, stopping us from making any progress.

Fear breeds Inaction…Inaction leads to inexperience…Inexperience leads to inability…and Inability destroys your path to success.

People try to deal with fear in different ways. Some people try to avoid it altogether. But this is neither practical nor productive.

The most effective way is to deal with your fear. Stay strong and overcome. This is the only method that works.

Most of the fears that we face every day are not based on facts. They are generated by our feelings

Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, "Do the thing that you are afraid to, and the death of fear is certain". This is the key to overcome your fears. 

Also, try this technique for overcoming fear, it can work wonders for you: If you are afraid of swimming, begin now to sit still for 5 or 10 minutes three or four times a day, and imagine you are swimming. Actually, you are swimming in your mind. Mentally you have projected yourself into the water. You feel the chill of the water and the movement of your arms and legs. Now, you will feel less scared when you try to dive into the pool.

This is not idle daydreaming, for you know that what you are experiencing in your imagination will be developed in your subconscious mind. You will be then compelled to express the image and likeliness of the picture you impressed on your deeper minds. 

You can apply this same technique almost everywhere. You will be able to face your fears physically with comfort.

Thought of the day:

"Always remember, that the things you fear do not really exist except as thoughts in your mind!"

Excellence is Self-Explanatory

Welcome Back! We usually find ourselves giving justifications or explanations about something every other day. Don't we? For Example: You wanted to wake up at 6:00 AM. But instead, you wake up at 6:10 AM.  Your goal was to make 40 lakhs but you made only 39. You appointment was at 4:00 PM but you turned up at 4:15 PM. You got 4 marks less than your target in an examination. In all these cases, there is a similarity - You fall short of your targets. You may need to provide justification and explanations regarding your actions in these cases . Sometimes, you may even argue. Normally , you have a tendency to explain, justify, reason and rationalise what's not okay as okay.We try our best to prove that something is okay even if it is not . This presses the self-destruction button of your life. Time and again, this lack of excellence will hurt you very badly in your life and hamper your goals. You will fall short of your target. Ultimately , you will not be a...

Failing Forward!

Welcome Back! All of us fail. As we travel on our path to success, we all hit potholes, take wrong turns, or forget to check the radiator. So the real issue is not whether you’re going to fail. It is about whether you’re going to fail successfully (gaining experience and profiting from failure) or allow failure to send you in a permanent detour. “The difference between greatness and mediocrity is often how an individual views his/her own mistakes.“ If you want to continue on the success journey, you need to learn to fail forward! Some people are often so afraid of failure and rejection, that they spend their whole lives avoiding risks or decisions that could lead to failure. They don’t realize that s uccess is based on their ability to fail and continue trying. When you have the right attitude, failure is not fatal. In fact, it is a springboard to success. Successful people instead of dwelling on the negative consequences of failure, think of what might have been and how things have...

'Today' is his 🎁 unto you

Welcome back 😀 ! Have you ever wondered why people like handmade gifts above all other gifts? The answer to this question is simple - You/They recognise the heart behind the gift and that makes the gift priceless . "A gift is not a material, but an outlook - to look out at the heart behind the material." -Mahatria Rā Even if the present is just a handmade flower or a greeting card, it would be one of the best gifts you would have ever got. Similarly , Education becomes a gift when you recognise the heart of the teachers who transfer their knowledge unto you . Your childhood becomes a gift when you recognise the heart of your parents in the upbringing. Friends become a gift when they stand by you not only in your good times but also in your tough times. Life becomes a gift when you realise its preciousness and its importance. In that sense, "Today" becomes an eternal gift . Always keep in mind that you may not live to see the "Tomorrow"...
