“Become one of the rare people who don’t know how to quit.”
Successful people are rare, Average people can be found everywhere.
One of the fundamental things that differs from average to successful people is the mentality to quit.
People have their dreams in their hearts, their dream flashes occasionally on the screen of their minds. They make some effort for a few days & seeing no results they quit very early. They get disappointed & sad as they are convinced that they cannot achieve their dream, it is too far from their reach.
This pattern of giving up becomes stronger in the lives of average people. They become used to it & the pattern continues by itself on every new task they take in their hands.
Once the mind is set to give up then it never bothers to walk ahead, it takes a permanent halt. It will not look for any new ways to achieve things, it will not be excited & it will procrastinate.
Giving up on small things will not look so costly but when the situation requires the thing to get done on high priority then the average person will be in trouble because his pattern of mind is of giving up.
“Successful people chase the dream till they reach it.”
It may take months or years but they are stubborn to achieve it, no matter what circumstances they need to face.
They have the success pattern developed in their mind & this pattern is not inherited but they have developed it for themselves. It is not like that they do not fail. When they fail they do not give up but start with new ways of achieving things. They learn from their past mistakes & build a new plan based on the learning.
You can be one of the rare people who don’t know how to quit. This new pattern of not giving up can be deliberately designed in the mind.
One small goal at a time can build confidence rather than going for a big task. Small little steps & small little wins will develop a big confidence & a new pattern will be created of succeeding in things.
Quote 2
“Just because you couldn’t do it yesterday doesn’t mean you can’t do it today.”
Today is a great opportunity to try once again with new ways or with some modifications in the older ways. There is an opportunity to walk in the direction of our dreams & accomplish them.
The past may have been a failure but it cannot neglect the possibility of success in the now or future. The past failure is an indication that we have tried in a way that won’t bring the desired result.
By learning from the past, we can carry on our way to our dreams. There is no point in stopping because the desires of the heart will never stop highlighting within you until they are met. They have been displayed in your mind with a purpose that is not disclosed to you.
“The powers to reach the dream are already available to everyone.”
We can see people all around us doing amazing things that were not assumed to be possible in the past. But someone believed in himself & made the impossible, the possible.
Today is like a blank paper & what we are going to write remains in our hands.
One can complain about the past & waste the whole day in writing the old story of failure.
Someone else can plan new ideas to reach the dream & implement them today. It is a personal choice what we do today, no one else can do it for ourselves.
When we take charge of the now & with totality one focused commit to our dreams then we are moving closer to success with every small step that we take on a routine basis.
Erasing the unessential & focusing only on the essential will assure success. Success doesn’t come to people who waste their time on irrelevant things, success comes to those who use it only in relevant things.
Quote 3
“Making no decision is a decision. To do nothing.
And doing nothing always brings you to nowhere.”
Decision-making is the thing that we do the most either consciously or unconsciously. We are making decisions in everything.
When we are choosing which color of shirt to wear then it is a decision. When we are choosing which food to eat then that is a decision. When we choose which mobile to purchase then it is also a decision.
“Our life is full of decisions & we decide first in mind then the action happens.”
When we choose to do nothing then it is also a decision made by us unconsciously within the mind.
The dreams that we have given up & stoppe working are nothing but a decision to quit them. We have totally decided to give up & we are very much firm in this decision that the mind & body are following it with order. And every decision has a result attached to it.
Decision motivates the action or inaction & it further determines the results or no results.
The great news about decisions is that we can change them.A new series of decision-making can begin & it will be more focused on the thought level first. Starting with the fundamentals first, everything else follows & it is dependent on the decision of the mind.
Once we take the control back to us & decide once & for all then we are going to make it happen then the actions are bound to change. The body follows the mind & the mind follows the decision & we are the ones who make the decision.
Decision-making can change life completely. One small decision with determination can be a cause for a great life.
The achievers use the power of decision & direct their thoughts to the dreams that they want to reach. The complexities are not required to make a small decision & this one small thought can take you to the peak of the mountain. The goal achievers use the decision as a tool to unlock the door of success.
Quote 4
“What you focus on grows, what you think about expands, and what you dwell upon determines your destiny.”
The inner thinking is the most precious thing that we possess. This small thread of thoughts within us every moment is responsible for the life that we are living. It is the source from which things are attracted to us, the inner thinking determines the outer results. And yet no one teaches us how to think & focus our thoughts in the correct direction.
We are only taught knowledge & competition from childhood. We are being taught the mathematical calculations of the mind & we are being taught to memorize things with force because not every child is interested in the topics that are taught in the school.
There is no subject or practical on how to use the mind, how to focus it on feeling good, or how to change the thoughts within. If this was taught from childhood then the fortune of the majority of students would have been reaching the skies.
Mind is very much a machine of attraction by its nature. When we begin thinking a thought of anger, then the next thought will be of anger, sooner there will be a series of angry thoughts. We can see angry people all around, the moments will be attracted that will make you angry, and you will be bathed by the anger from all directions. This is how the mind works, what we focus upon grows & expands.
By understanding the nature of the mind, it can become a friend. We can direct our focus from negative to positive.
This is just a matter of changing what we are thinking & feeling in the mind. This is simple & clear but we are used to thinking negatively for years & years so it will look difficult in the beginning. The mind will again fall back to the negative patterns & one who is determined will again focus on the positive. This battle will continue every moment from negative to positive & again from positive to negative. The achiever won’t give up on mind & will shape the mind as per his will.
Quote 5
“We are all here for some special reason. Stop being a prisoner of your past. Become the architect of your future.”
We all have a special reason hidden within our mind. It is lost somewhere in the corner of the mind.
We are unable to find it & this causes a life of un-fulfillment because the hidden special reason is the source of our contentment. It is the thing that we love to do the most & it is the reason for our birth.
We were supposed to follow our heart’s desire & invest our time in things that we love to do. But life has turned another way around & we are doing something in life that we do not love to do.
The limiting beliefs given by the outside world has helped the special reason to fade away from us. It may fade away but it isn’t gone, it comes to the surface & fades in after a short period of time.
The negative & restrictive thought process has convinced our mind to live in a particular way as per the working of the society. We live similarly as we see people around us living. When we see people all around us doing a 9 to 5 job then we also follow the same even if we do not love doing it.
Intelligent people are those who understand these limiting beliefs & take a step ahead from the ordinary thinking process provided by society to a new process of deliberate designing & becoming architects of the future.
They follow their heart & find the special reason hidden within. They focus completely on it to take it to the surface clean & clear.
“Once the thing that we love doing the most is found then half journey is already completed.”
The main part of the journey is already covered now the rest will take care of itself.
When we work towards this special thing then it no longer remains a work, it becomes a play, it becomes a joy & there is happiness because we are doing something that we love to do.
Quote 6
“Your “I Can” is more important than your “IQ”.”
The deeply rooted thoughts also called beliefs are operating our life situations.
They are behind the scenes in the background & are responsible for the success or failure in any area of life.
People have no idea about them, people are unaware of their existence & people are indeed slaves of their beliefs. We act & respond corresponding to our beliefs in the deeper cores of the mind.
Mind is like a cave & one who enters the cave sees the darkness & everything in that cave is mysterious & unknown. Things are beyond logic & they cannot be comprehended with the minor conscious mind. In this dark cave, all the beliefs are hiding their faces. They are present but do not reveal themselves on their own. One has to enter the cave with a torch as his companion to find the real faces of the beliefs.
When one believes that he can do it then that belief will work for him from the background.
The things will happen in accord that will support to bend the reality as per the belief. There may be troubles & obstacles that will come in the way but the belief of “I Can” will always win because it is deeply rooted in the mind.
In the same way when one believes that he can’t then things will happen to support his belief into reality, then rest of the things won’t matter, the IQ won’t matter, and the person will fail however because he has believed it in his dark cave of mind.
Like cutting the leaves, the tree will not fall, the leaves will grow again. To cut a tree, it has to be taken out from the roots.
Looking at small failures & working to fix them through brain logic will not help because the root is the “I can’t”. Once it is taken out from the core mind & replaced with “I can” then things will start happening & the success will grow like leaves on a tree.
Quote 7
“Saying “I’ll try” really means “I’m not really committed.”
When a person does not want to do something then he starts giving various kinds of excuses. He surrounds himself with reasons to do it later.
He is not really involved in doing the thing & wants to escape from putting in the effort. He himself isn’t assured about what he wants & is wandering in the wrong direction ignoring the things.
When there is a lack of commitment it means that the person does not like doing what he is doing & he has somehow entered into the wrong zone which he never wanted to enter.
When the legs start walking in the wrong direction then the whole journey is disrupted, and the person reaches somewhere where he isn’t willing to go. He won’t enjoy the journey & there will be lots of excuses & reasons, his energy levels will be down & his mind will not be willing to do the things.
“Commitment comes when a person chooses to do something that he is willing to do from his heart.”
He pours all his heart into doing the thing simply because he loves doing it. There won’t be any excuses & give-ups & on the contrary, there will be overflowing energy willing to do more & more of the things. Their mind will be refreshed & vital with boosted energies making them work with high performance.
Even if there will be failures, a person will try new things because the star of his dream is shining within his mind. He is excited & enthusiastic about reaching the dream like a small body eager to go for a picnic & then reach the place so that he can play & enjoy.
Commitment comes as a byproduct when the heart is in sync with the things that one does. And this is the of the successful people, they commit because they love doing the thing they choose to do.
Quote 8
“The gift of achievement is not the things you get,
but the person you become.”
Failures in life are mostly caused by the state of mind of a person.
“State of mind determines the quality of life & it is creating the person who you are.”
So when a person is acting in an angry state, he is unhappy, disappointed & fearful then he will not only fail but he will be that kind of a person. His mental state becomes his identity & he acts & behaves as per his state of mind.
One might achieve some things in life but if he remains the same person as he was before then that achievements are of no use.
The moments of achievement are very less & they fade away sooner but the person one is remains within him always. If the person remains in anguish, frustration, fearful even after his achievements then how can he be happy? He might have achieved some things but he has failed with himself. He has lost the competition with himself.
Successful people have a different state of mind & we can find them happy & content with what they are doing.
They are energetic people & live life with excitement, enthusiasm & passion. They become the person who creates a beautiful environment in their inner state of mind. They are not just content for a few moments of success but they are living with totality & completeness every moment.
Their state of mind is bringing the successful circumstances of life & it is not the other way around. It is not the success but the state of mind they possess.
Ordinary people see success but they don’t see the state of mind, they don’t see the life-style & mind-style of the successful ones. So the ordinary tries to succeed like a successful person but they never succeed because of their same old mindset. So the results don’t change for ordinary people because they haven’t become the person they are willing to become.
Quote 9
“Every master was once a beginner.
Every pro was once an amateur.”
The beginning is always the same for everyone. There isn’t much difference in the beginning of an average person & that of a successful person. Both have a dream in their minds so they begin the way towards the dream.
There is lots of excitement, happiness, eagerness when a new thing is being started. Mind is full of hopes & dreams flying high in the sky. In the beginning, there are commitments & disciplines with a determination to achieve the dream.
When the beginning ends & a little time followed after the beginning the things, start turning around. All the zest is lost somewhere & it is no longer spreading its fragrance.
The battery that was fully charged at the beginning goes down completely at the bottom.
The dream that was shining like a sun is lost in darkness. As if someone has cut the electricity & all the electrical instruments that were sounding & playing a song have gone dead suddenly. The hopes have been kicked hard & now there are no rays of hope.
Master follows the path even after failures. He also undergoes the same environment that happens after the beginning but he is unwilling to quit early. There might be darkness & hopes may have been wandered but he stays on the ship.
The ordinary quit so they never become masters. Master rejects to quit & chases the dream until it is achieved & becomes master.
Every Master was once a beginner & he became the master of the thing by following a disciple every day for a longer period of time.
He practiced in private when the world was sleeping. He was dedicated to the effort & gave his time & energy in a focused manner.
Every day of his training was building the steps towards his mastery. And without daily practice & training, there cannot be mastery because mastery is not magic but an effort made every day.
Quote 10
“Words can INSPIRE and words can DESTROY.
Choose yours well.”
Words are not just words, they are vibrations, they are like minor electric currents. Due to their subtleness they usually go under noticed.
Their ignorance does not lessen their existence & they do function to create the various kinds of emotions in the human body.
Uttered Words further create emotions based on the category of words. There are many categories & it is just the items in the shopping mall, we can choose to pick any one.
When a person chooses to pick the nice words then certainly the good feelings will be generated out of those nice words. It will not only make him feel good but also people interacting with him will also feel nice.
People return back what they receive from others. When someone talks with them nicely with good & encouraging words then they return back the same tone of words. The same happens when someone speaks to them with a harsh tone of words.
Motivational speakers & life coaches use encouraging & positive words filled with powerful emotions. They use the power of words to transform the lives of other people.
People can be seen differently when they come out of motivational seminars or a discourse. They have a new energy & mindset with a new perception & also their dreams are awakened again that were lost somewhere before listening to the words of the motivational speaker.
We are also doing self-talk to ourselves & these are nothing but words we are uttering to ourselves. This self-talk is mostly unconscious & it is a long habit, we don’t even look at what we are talking to ourselves. These words are creating the emotions in our inner world & based on emotions the quality of life & the outcome of the results are determined.
A person with sad & discouraging words uttering to himself is using the power of words in the reverse direction. The same energy of words can either inspire or destroy, we have an opportunity every moment to change the words that we utter to ourselves.
