WAYS TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE.

Checking out some popular content sites, I can’t help but feel that people have their priorities more than a little screwed up. Everyone seems hell-bent on becoming instantly rich, famous, happy, inspired, or successful. Everyone thinks they can be a leader or an entrepreneur by following what Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Richard Branson do.  

The irony is, if Musk, Zuckerberg, and Branson set such ludicrous goals, they never would have achieved what they’ve achieved.

Then there’s the cause crowd. They either want their work to mean something, they want to be part of something bigger than themselves, or they want to change the world, whatever that means. They want, they want, they want. It’s always something they want and it’s got to be big.

You sort of getting the feeling that they want to make it about them. They want to make it their cause. Look at me. You see I’m special because I’ve got this cause and I’m helping others all over the world. In reality, it makes them feel important, like a big shot. That’s why they do it. Instead of trying to sound like you care when you’re really just being self-centered and self-important, how about setting genuine goals you can reasonably accomplish that will matter most to you and your loved ones? If you can do that, guess what? The outcome will likely be prosperity and happiness for you and everyone around you.

If you really want to leave the world a better place than you found it, this is how you do it.

1. First, do no harm.

Think about it. If everyone could pull off this simple goal, the world would be transformed overnight into a far, far better place. It sounds so easy in theory and yet it’s so hard in practice. Still, it’s a pretty impressive priority, if you ask me.  

2. Enjoy your time here.

How much of our time do we spend hating, whining, arguing, fighting, and generally making ourselves and everyone around us miserable. Sadly, social media, blogs, and comments have extended that to include just about everyone. Try making it a priority to enjoy yourself. See how that works out for you … and everyone around you.

3. Provide kids with more opportunities than you had.

This may sound like falling off a log but, in it’s not. In this day and age, just being a good parent and ensuring that your children have a chance for a better life than you had is an incredibly honorable and difficult goal to achieve. And the payoff is a better next generation.

4. Experience the real world, explore your inner world.

The greatest learning comes from two places: experiencing the real world and exploring your inner world. Today, we’ve become voyeurs of a two-dimensional world bound by tiny little displays. If you get out and do things and quietly explore your mind, your learning will become boundless. And that leads to the next two goals.

5. Leave a legacy of knowledge.

Where would we be without the breakthroughs and insights of great scientists and philosophers? The lessons of our forefathers? The art, music, and creations of those who lived to share their unique perception and gift with the rest of us?

6. Do great work.

If you can somehow manage to figure out what you love to do, you can strive to be the best and achieve great things. Whether that’s building wonderful products that customers can’t get enough of or make sick people well, that will serve you, your family, and the greater good. Doing your best work is a powerful goal.   

7. Be a good man among your fellow man.

The longer I’m on this planet, the more I’ve come to realize that what seems to be the simplest of goals is actually the most difficult to achieve … and the most noble. In my experience, none is more challenging than simply being a good man among your fellow man. Try it for a week, or even just a day. See how long you last.

What this really comes down to is this. The interactive Web has given us all a false impression of global impact. It may seem that way, but in reality, your best chance of having a broad impact is by focusing on what’s right in front of you: your inner self, your behavior, your loves ones and your work.

If you stick to that, everything will turn out fine.

HEALING THE EMOTIONAL PAIN.

Recently, I have been through a time that put me into a confused state of mind which was neither letting me to move forward nor allowing me to be at peace with the present moment.

Great teachers have always taught that you don’t need to fix anything outside of you to live a happy life,all that’s essential is to be in harmony with your own existence.

That’s really difficult to understand  because when nobody understands you,all your efforts are just making the situation worse and your mind is in a chaotic state such philosophies appears to be total bullshit.

The dominating emotions of an individual facing such circumstances are guilt, anger and resentment.If prolonged,these feelings can result into self sabotage.

The Victim Mode of Ego

It is very imperative to discern that our ego likes to play a victim and if you are not aware enough to detect this at the right time then you will be pulled into an insurmountable vicious cycle of negativity.

The victim mode of the ego is when you are continuously troubled by the negative self talks like-“why me?”,”what wrong have I done?”,”Nobody understands me”,etc .

What usually happens in such cases is that the individual gets involved in various types of addictions(it could be anything) because in that way he finds a temporary relief from the pesky noises inside his head but, that’s more destructive than the problem itself.

Finding addictions to avoid distress is like taking pain killers without treating a deep wound.

Relationships, no matter how much long or short they have been it does only one thing to us – It gives us an identification based on the other person’s opinions.

When someone gives us their positive attention, we start to feel so good because our existence is admired by someone.

Unconsciously, we make many bonds with the other person which makes us dependent on their point of view,this is what makes recovering from toxic relationships difficult.

Miseries that are caused by the relationships that we have after reaching a certain age is often less intense than the ones that are related to our childhood, this is the reason why we are so attached to our parents and on a subconscious level we continuously seek their approval for what we do in our lives even though we pretend that “I live by my own rules”.

Few Things That Seems Promising but Does Not Actually Help

You can listen to music,go on tours and do a lot of stuff in order to temporarily take your mind off the problem, but one thing that is to be remembered is “No matter where you go or what you do, you take your memories  there too!”

Our memories are not something that could be erased or deleted.

In such mental states we all are doomed to think that there is something we need to change about the other person’s thinking.

We get too dominated by the idea of having a talk with the other person so that we could make them to see things from our viewpoint.

That is actually the worst idea because of two very obvious reasons:-

1-You cannot influence anybody’s opinion without their consent and in such cases this would be least possible thing that they would agree upon.

2-When a relationship is filled with negative emotions like anger,jealousy, frustration , etc then you are just going to create more trouble by taking such decisions.

There Is Only One Good Way and It’s a Little Difficult

Getting out of a toxic relationship is not about running away from the situation or trying to change the other person’s mind to make things better,it is about removing what is “toxic” about the whole thing from your own mind.

It doesn’t matter what decision you or the other person makes,if you will leave the whole scenario with negative impressions inside your mind, it will come back to you in a different form later on.

What is to be done then?

You will have to feel good about the current situation first no matter what happens outside you, you should accept that whatever is happening is happening for a good reason which might become obvious in the hindsight.

Trust me, what makes us to suffer so badly at any point of our lives becomes insignificant in the future.(only if we are not in denial)

It is very essential to accept “what is” without trying to change anything outside. We are humans, it is okay to have negative emotions sometimes, but if you will try to manipulate what is happening outside or if you will deny the reality so that you can appear strong in front of others then you will only deepen the bad effects such situations will have on you.

First and foremost what you should do is to “feel the pain” and accept that you are hurt. If you want to cry then do that, do whatever is necessary for your emotional health without involving the other person.

Next, find a friend with whom you can share your feelings.(someone who will not judge you)

After that just keep your mind open and let the best healer work, yes it is “time”.. time will show you the right path so, don’t reach conclusions, just be in peace with what IS.

What about the Scars?

If you have suppressed your emotions in the past then your memories will haunt you till you make peace with it.

With a very honest introspection you will have to find out whatever it is that you are blaming for your agony.

This is difficult but, you will have to forgive everything that you hold responsible for your emotional troubles otherwise same life patterns will keep on repeating; only new people will replace the old ones to remind you that you have inner issues to be solved.

This is where spiritual practices are helpful, sometimes we are not at all aware on the conscious level of what we have been carrying deep inside our heart.

Meditation will help you to release all such negativity that you have been carrying in your energy from a long time.You will find a lot of related posts here for doing that.

One of the major reasons why I recommend people to opt for my two most favorite personal development programs is because it keeps on clearing all the energy sucking bonds we ever created.

 Unlimited Abundance Course by Christie Marie Sheldon has been very helpful for me to release various such negative energy patterns layer by layer so,I highly suggest it to my readers.Even if you don’t believe in stuff like energy clearing, trying it under the refund period will let you know if it works for you like it did for me or not.

Another process that has been of great help for me is the cutting cords meditation in Christie’s love or above program. As I mentioned earlier, we form emotional bonds with people on a subconscious level and it is wise to keep clearing those bonds using such tools before it gets too late.

One thing to be kept in mind while doing such meditations/practices is that we are not removing people or memories from our consciousness(it’s impossible) by doing such processes, we are just pulling out what’s negative from those events.

THE ELEPHANT ROPE

As a man was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from their bonds but for some reason, they did not.

He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away. “Well,” trainer said, “when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free.”

The man was amazed. These animals could at any time break free from their bonds but because they believed they couldn’t, they were stuck right where they were.

Like the elephants, how many of us go through life hanging onto a belief that we cannot do something, simply because we failed at it once before?

Failure is part of learning; we should never give up the struggle in life.

Potatoes, Eggs, and Coffee Beans

Once upon a time a daughter complained to her father that her life was miserable and that she didn’t know how she was going to make it. She was tired of fighting and struggling all the time. It seemed just as one problem was solved, another one soon followed.

Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Once the three pots began to boil, he placed potatoes in one pot, eggs in the second pot, and ground coffee beans in the third pot.

He then let them sit and boil, without saying a word to his daughter. The daughter, moaned and impatiently waited, wondering what he was doing.

After twenty minutes he turned off the burners. He took the potatoes out of the pot and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl.

He then ladled the coffee out and placed it in a cup. Turning to her he asked. “Daughter, what do you see?”

“Potatoes, eggs, and coffee,” she hastily replied.

“Look closer,” he said, “and touch the potatoes.” She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee. Its rich aroma brought a smile to her face.

“Father, what does this mean?” she asked.

He then explained that the potatoes, the eggs and coffee beans had each faced the same adversity– the boiling water.

However, each one reacted differently.

The potato went in strong, hard, and unrelenting, but in boiling water, it became soft and weak.

The egg was fragile, with the thin outer shell protecting its liquid interior until it was put in the boiling water. Then the inside of the egg became hard.

However, the ground coffee beans were unique. After they were exposed to the boiling water, they changed the water and created something new.

“Which are you,” he asked his daughter. “When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a potato, an egg, or a coffee bean? “

Moral:In life, things happen around us, things happen to us, but the only thing that truly matters is what happens within us.

Which one are you?

Powerful Ways To Be Mentally Strong

Being mentally strong means knowing what you want and when you want it. It means not letting anything stand in the way of achieving your goals. Being mentally strong means overcoming the things that might keep other people down. Being mentally strong takes courage to swim upstream when everyone else is going with the flow. Having mental strength takes strength.

Mentally strong people are powerful. They understand that life isn’t fair, but persevere anyway. For some, mental strength comes naturally; they know no other way. For others, it’s something that has to be worked at – an art that has to be honed. Below are 13 things mentally strong people do and don’t do, whether naturally or practiced, to remain focused, goal oriented and to maintain their mental strength through all of life’s ups and downs.

1. Mentally Strong People Hold the Power

No one should have control over you or your emotions, and mentally strong people know this. You’ll never hear them say things like, “My friend makes me feel bad,” because they know they are in control of their own emotions and no one can make them feel bad unless they want to. When you are in control of yourself and your emotions, you choose how to respond to negative situations.

2. Mentally Strong People Never Feel Sorry for Themselves

Mentally strong people don’t have time to sit around feeling sorry for themselves. They know it’s a waste of time, and that in order to succeed, they need to take responsibility for their actions in life. They understand life isn’t always fair or easy, so they suck it up and keep on moving forward.

3. Mentally Strong People Embrace Change

Many people say they hate change. Change is hard and inevitable in most cases, but someone who is mentally strong accepts that and welcomes positive change with open arms. Mentally strong people are flexible and believe they are capable of adapting to new situations.

4. Mentally Strong People Don’t Worry about the Things They Can’t Change

There’s a quote by Reinhold Niebuhr that goes, “God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”  In case you don’t already know, Mr. Niebuhr was an exceptionally strong person who used his natural mental strength to lead a highly successful life as a theologian, among other things. He knew exactly what he was talking about here.

Mentally strong people don’t waste time complaining about traffic jams or lost luggage because they know these are things they can’t control. Instead, they focus on the things they can control, and they realize that sometimes, the only thing you can control in certain situations is your own attitude.

5. Mentally Strong People Know They Can’t Please Everyone

Being a mentally strong person means you may disappoint people at times. Mentally strong people realize that they can’t please everyone all the time and have no problem saying “no” if need be. They aren’t afraid to speak up and speak their mind, either. Although they want to be fair and kind, mentally strong people can handle it if someone gets upset because they didn’t make them happy.

6. Mentally Strong People Take Calculated Risks

Not all risk taking is the same, and mentally strong people know the difference between foolish or reckless risk-taking and calculated risk-taking. They weigh the pros and cons of the situation, and they fully understand the potential consequences before making any big decisions. Taking calculated risks is not something that scares a mentally strong person.

7. Mentally Strong People Don’t Dwell in the Past

Spending time thinking about the past and wishing things could have been different is not something mentally strong people waste time doing. They acknowledge their role in past situations and are able to say what they have learned from them. A mentally strong person does not waste time reliving old glory days. Instead, he lives for today and plans for tomorrow.

8. Mentally Strong People Learn from their Mistakes

A mentally strong person takes responsibility for his own actions and learns from mistakes he’s made in the past. Because of this, a mentally strong person does not repeat past mistakes and is able to make better choices in the future.

9. Mentally Strong People are not Jealous of Other People’s Successes

Mentally strong people are confident enough to be able to enjoy and appreciate other people’s successes. They can celebrate them and are not jealous if someone surpasses them in life. Rather than feel cheated, a mentally strong person realises that hard work results in success  and is willing to work hard for his own successes in life.

10. Mentally Strong People Refuse to Give Up

Failure for a mentally strong person is not a reason to give up. Instead, they view it as an opportunity to grow and get better, so they are willing to keep plugging along until they get it right.

Shake off Your Problems

A man’s favorite donkey falls into a deep precipice; He can’t pull it out no matter how hard he tries; He therefore decides to bury it alive.

Soil is poured onto the donkey from above. The donkey feels the load, shakes it off, and steps on it; More soil is poured.

It shakes it off and steps up; The more the load was poured, the higher it rose; By noon, the donkey was grazing in green pastures.

After much shaking off (of problems) And stepping up (learning from them), One will graze in GREEN PASTURES.

Everyone Has a Story in Life

A 24 year old boy seeing out from the train’s window shouted…

“Dad, look the trees are going behind!”

Dad smiled and a young couple sitting nearby, looked at the 24 year old’s childish behavior with pity, suddenly he again exclaimed…

“Dad, look the clouds are running with us!”

The couple couldn’t resist and said to the old man…

“Why don’t you take your son to a good doctor?”The old man smiled and said…“I did and we are just coming from the hospital, my son was blind from birth, he just got his eyes today.

Every single person on the planet has a story. Don’t judge people before you truly know them. The truth might surprise you.

The Law of Attraction and My Online Business Success Story

Readers of my blog often write to me to know about my success with the law of attraction so, today I am going to share my online business success story with you as there is nothing in my experience till now which comes close to this achievement when it is about using my creative ability.

People love to read LOA success stories because they are trying to clear their doubts by reading the experiences of others.

Honestly, knowing my story won’t help any person to fortify his/her faith in his creative power because for that he would have to collect his own evidences.

But I know that people get motivated by reading the real life stories and that’s why I am going to share my story here.

This post is not just for people who are interested in metaphysics but, it is also for those who believe in following their passion.

I have a long list of what I have attracted in my life using the universal laws, but here I am going to share something which matters a lot to me.

Some uncanny events have also occurred in my life where I attracted some small/big events and things but, I always wanted to share an experience which makes sense to everyone.

This is a journey which began 3 years ago and it involves my growth in spirituality, skills, self love, knowledge and finance…

The Secret

Few years ago I came to know about the movie “ the secret" from one of my friends, I got very excited after watching the movie to experiment with what they were teaching.

The message in that movie felt like something which I already knew deep inside.

I applied the techniques provided by various personal development gurus in the movie and soon I was getting very successful in manifesting various things.

I had proofs that law of attraction works because I was focusing on small things like attracting my favorite food, watching an awesome movie with friends, getting appreciated, few extra bucks in the wallet etc.

However, when it came to attract something big I failed miserably!

Back then, I was focusing on clearing the toughest MBA entrance exam of my country for the third time and that was like a do or die situation for me.

I tried by applying the principles of deliberate creation along with my efforts but I ended up getting almost the exact score that I got previous year.

At that moment I stopped believing in these new age concepts and started to study hard for other exams.

The Change

As days passed, my mind again started getting inclined towards the teachings of that movie and I began to feel that it was my lack of understanding that caused failure.

So, I went deeper into this knowledge by reading books, blogs and watching YouTube videos.

I equipped myself with the information provided by all the great personal development gurus like Bob Proctor, Lisa Nichols, Esther Hicks, Bob Doyle, Deepak Chopra, Wayne Dyer, Joe Vitale and many others.

I also bought a few personal development programs and that is how I opted for Christie Marie Sheldon’s Unlimited Abundance Course which is my favorite, I have talked about it in many of my posts because this program became a very essential tool in my personal growth.( I still listen to those sessions)

The quest of knowing more about human potential changed my way of thinking and I started to question everything in my life.

I realized that my desire to get admission in a prestigious MBA college was a demand of my EGO!

In that juncture I had an epiphany that my true joy lies in growing spiritually and helping others with the same.

Can you see how getting into these self help materials brought forth a mature version of me?..Where I earlier used to strive for fulfilling my ego needs, now I got focused towards my higher purpose.

Doors Got Opened

Now, I had to make a big decision and choose a path. I really had no idea how I am going to achieve my new goals.

By trusting that the universe will deliver whatever that is needed in my journey, I took a decision for which I knew I would have to pay a price.

Thinking out of the box is not a big thing, but taking the appropriate action is!

I had to face the ridicule and the consequences of choosing a different path; on top of that I was not having any concrete plan.

I remember that day so vividly when I received an idea during a visualization process and it was to create a blog.

That was an awesome idea because this way I can do various personal development activities, read books and try different products whereas my work will become useful for others who are interested in personal growth.

Okay, now I had a plan but I was not having even a slightest idea of how to execute it. I knew how to create free webpage, but I was not all aware of how to profit from a blog.

Earning from a website was something to which I was totally oblivious; I asked few of my techie friends and after hearing from them I thought that it was not my cup of tea.

Side by side I was also searching for the ways to make money online. As we know, that the online world is filled with fraudsters so, I used read reviews from many websites to decide if I should opt for any particular online money making program or not.

This went on for few days and I was unable to find something that really works. Then one day I stumbled upon a program which looked promising, I went to read reviews and while doing so I found a blog which unlike other blogs was quite genuine.

The woman who wrote the review of that product was not selling that product or any other; I strongly felt that she could help me.

So, I sent her an email telling her about my wish to write a blog and making it a source of income.

I believe that it was one of my luckiest days when she replied me by suggesting an online business education program called wealthy affiliate.

It took me 1 week (free starter days) to decide if it was right for me and I had my website ready within those 7 days.

In just three months I had the knowledge of online business than any of my techie friends who earlier discouraged me. I started to earn money in 6 months and my blog started to get a good amount of daily visits.

Now, it has been more than 2 years and this blog is my source of income and happiness. Yes, I was talking about this website only!

Receiving the idea, reaching that woman’s blog, her email, wealthy affiliate university wealthy affiliate university, my first earning, the increasing site traffic etc.. When I look back, all that seems like a divine intervention.

Apart from these events I also believe that my persistence, faith, decisions and actions were also equally important in my online business success.

It’s Just the Beginning

I have a long way to go from here. It is very important to keep moving and to form new visions when the previous ones are fulfilled because I believe that like a bicycle we gain balance from momentum in life also.

This is the longest post that I have written till now in this blog but, it was important for me to take you through this journey and make you see how things happen when we persistently hold the image of success in our mind.

With this post I am not trying to make you daydream instead my intention is to tell you that you will eventually find your perfect recipe for success if you are willing to follow your passion.

I hope you enjoyed reading this post. I would love to hear your comments in the box below.

Do you have any law of attraction success story to share? If yes, then please do write it in the comments section or mail me so that I could make a post on it to share with the readers of this blog.
