Quote 1
“Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible.”
Setting goals is like putting a key in the bike & starting the engine. Without a key, the bike won’t start & the journey cannot begin.
Without setting a goal, there is no achievement of goals because we cannot hit a target unless we set it. When we set a goal to reach so & so destination then the journey of manifestation can begin.
The goal is something that is not yet manifested. It is not present in the physical form, it is present within the mind in a certain form.
To bring it to reality we have to be very specific about our goals. Blur & vague goals have no possibility of manifestation. Every detail has to be planned & designed for your goal. It is like building a huge building with plenty of rooms.
The structure plan of the building is designed well in advance & every detailing is done in the initial steps. The building comes into existence as per the plan that was designed before the building came into existence.
Goal setting is a fun process & we get very excited on day one, planning the goals. After some days we lose track of the goals & the excitement is lost somewhere.
“When we have true passion about something & we make a goal of it then we persist in that goal.”
Goal setting has to be expanded each & every day, it is not a one-time job. We have to see the goal from different perspectives. We have to design every detail of it. We have to feel the feelings of the goal being achieved with different scenes of the goal.
Goals can be best set by pen & paper. Writing goals on a paper has a special impact on the mind. Just setting the goal in mind can be effective but writing it with a pen on paper makes it more valuable.
Every day we can write & add new things for the same goal. Thinking & writing the goals gets us into the frequency of the goal & taking this first step in a bold manner assures the manifestation in some sense.
Quote 2
“It’s not the events of our lives that shape us,
but our beliefs as to what those events mean.”
When an incident happens in our life, we have a thought pattern that repeats when that incident happens.
Just like someone has an incidence of forgetting things then as he forgets something & gets irritated he has a thought pattern for this incidence. The thoughts may say that “my memory is weak”, “I am forgetting things every now & then”, “my brain is getting older as I am aging” & so on.
We might think that the event of forgetting is shaping this person’s life but the fact is that the thought patterns that are repeated & have become strong beliefs are shaping that reality bringing the results as per the accepted thought pattern by the subconscious mind.
The events that are happening to us are creating some kind of response within our minds. This response is a vibration of energy that is shaping our destiny.
When we see our enemy, an automatic response of uncomfortableness is created within the mind & the vibration is disturbed. This vibration can be shifted by the deliberate creation of a positive response. And this is possible only by practice.
We can replace the patterns of our thoughts & build new beautiful patterns that will change the vibration within us.
Every moment we are doing something like watching TV, reading books, cooking, walking, doing work & so on. While doing this something, we are also running a thought pattern for that activity.
Suppose we are watching a TV serial & some harsh events are shown then we have a negative response to that, we can change it by focusing on some other element in the same event. We can see the background set that is beautifully designed, we can see the beautiful clothes that the characters wear, we can hear the unique music that is playing in the background, we can see the odd hairstyles of the characters & so on. This way we can change the focus & vibration at the same time.
When we start changing the thought patterns, slowly & steadily these new patterns will start sinking into the depths of the mind & form strong beliefs.
We have to do this consciously at the beginning, after some days or months, the new pattern will repeat itself automatically.

“The only thing keeping you from what you want is your story about why you can’t have it.”
Everyone is ready to share their story of how sad or disturbed they are. How life has done a great injustice to them. How the people & circumstances have not gone in their favor. How they are not getting what they want in life.
This story is available to most people & they feel proud to share it as they get an opportunity. Not only this story is shared with others, but it is also shared & repeated in their minds thousands of times.
This story is nothing but your energy being directed towards what you don’t want. The more the story is repeated the more negative energy is accumulated.
More the negative energy is produced, the more negative results will follow & the story will remain the same story till someone begins a new story for himself.
The new story can be the story of what you want. It can be filled with the things that you have already received & thankful for. It can be about appreciating how life has given so much that we cannot repay. It can be about the success that you have lived, however small it may be.
This new story dictates your new life, it is focused exactly on what it is that you want. This new energy is making a connection to the good emotions & you will be emitting positive & vibes of harmony. You will connect to the pure stream of positivity.
When the new story is created then the old will disappear on its own.
We do not have to do something to erase the old, we have to replace it with new. And at a time only one story can be created.
Then you will share this new story with everyone. You will be attracting positive people who are on the same positive frequency. As you stay connected with your new story, new things will start manifesting in reality because of the principles of the law of attraction.
Quote 4
“The only limit to your impact is your imagination and commitment.”
The great thing about imagination is that it is free to be used, no charges apply to the use of Imagination.
And because it is free & the free has very little value it is mostly ignored by most of us. It runs on an autopilot & we do not control or direct it to a deliberate destination. Autopilot takes a different route that is not expected and unwanted & the result is reaching the exact destination that we never like to visit.
We have the ability to imagine things in our minds. It is like a mental screen that is running a video with pictures & sounds. Watching this imagination, the feelings are generated in the heart.
The feelings create a ripple of vibration within the mind. This vibration comes with lots of variety & is mainly categorized into 2 sub-divisions, good & bad. When vibrations are of laughter, fun, harmony, love, kindness, excitement, enthusiasm, and passion then we are in a division of good vibrations.
When vibrations are of anxiety, depression, anger, hatred, punishment, harm, and guilt then we are vibrating in the division of bad frequencies. And it all begins with the imagination.
Imagination can be directed to the things that we want & it can be used in a creative way to focus on mental pictures of what we want. Then we can see ourselves driving that car that we always wanted.
Then we can see ourselves holding the award in our hands because we have topped the examination. Then we can see ourselves entering the new house that we purchased & we can walk into the rooms deciding the design of the new house. We can use the imagination anywhere & in any desire that we want to achieve.
“From the imagination starts the process of manifestation.”
Imprinting imaginations on the subconscious mind through repetition & with strong emotions results in the manifestation of the thing that is imagined.
This can be nicely done by taking out some time & sitting with closed eyes imagining the thing that you want & then feeling and getting to the place of how you feel when you have the desire fulfilled. You have to visit this place of feeling again & again so that you can connect to the frequency that desire & it can be attracted to you by the law of attraction.
Quote 5
“Nothing has any power over me other than that which I give it through my conscious thoughts.”
The power remains always in our hands, it is our choice to use the power or let it take its own direction.
All the unpredictable life experiences that are happening every now & then have no power to break the inner rhythm. The inner rhythm disturbs us only when we allow it to get disturbed.
The thing that we most focus on consciously increases our awareness.
It is just like wearing a red glass & everything around looks red. When we have flowers in mind, we can see flowers everywhere. When we are to buy a new bike then we can see the bikes everywhere. We are choosing what to focus on by giving a conscious thought to it. So the power remains with us on what to focus on.
This power can be misused by those who do not understand the workings of it.
The misuse is done to oneself by choosing to focus on the thing that he does not want. The focus is mostly & dominantly on what is missing, the focus is on troubles & not solutions, the focus is on failures & there is no conscious thought of success.
The power is misdirected & it will have its effects in the coming future. The present moment is already disturbed by focusing on what is not wanted & the future will repeat the past till something is changed.
“We have the power to design our life with a perfect map in our mind.”
When the destination is crystal clear & the desire has perfect clarity then the focus can be directed to the desire.
The time will come that will put you off track from your desire but understanding that power is always in our hands at any time to consciously choose the thought that feels good.
Quote 6
“Do something. Get results. Decide if it’s worth repeating.”
Results need action & commitment. The commitment comes from the firmness of the thoughts attached to the goals.
Something has to be done & there has to be some kind of motion to manifest the goals. The plan has to be crafted & treated as a roadmap to the destination of goals. And not every time the plan will be a success. If it is not a success then we have to try another way around & keep doing something in the direction of the goal.
“Doing nothing will bring no results.”
It is an indication that commitment is not strong enough & we are just daydreaming & underestimating our own powers. Doing nothing means we have already decided & assumed that it cannot be done & there is no way to reach the goals. Imprinting these negative thought patterns results in doing nothing & in return there are no achievements.
Achievers are the action-takers, they continuously do something in the direction of their goals.
They are completely focused on the goal & their commitment is ongoing till they achieve the goal. They try different ways then they fail then they again get up & try something else & one time comes that success bows down in front of them.
The firm thought of achieving the goal is the root cause of the success.
The things that are working & are in alignment with our goals should be repeated. The things that are not helping to achieve the goals should be eliminated.
We can find out in our lives that there are many things that we do that have no relation to the goals that we have set. These things cannot make us reach our goals but we still do them out of habit.
These irrelevant things should be erased from life so that there can be one focus towards the goal like a magnifying glass burning the paper.
Quote 7
“Any Idiot can point out a problem.
A leader is willing to do something about it.
Leaders solve problems.”
Ordinary men get disturbed when a problem occurs in front of them.
He is angry & irritated about the problem & isn’t willing to face it. He isn’t ready to accept the problem & has a long complaint about the problem that he is facing. He gossips the problem with everyone he meets, he decorates the problem, and he holds on to the problem tightly. So the problem won’t leave him & he won’t leave the problem.
Ordinary is busy claiming that it shouldn’t have happened to him & why he is the one who has to face problems. He has his eyes completely focused on the problem.
The problem remains the problem & it will not be solved by chit-chatting about the problem.
Ordinary people will blame the other people & they will join a thread of criticizing the one who created the problem. They will keep themselves busy in spreading criticism about that person. This is the way of ordinary men so they remain ordinary.
“Leaders have a different approach towards the problem.”
They don’t have any magic pill that erases every problem like a magic wand but they have imprinted good patterns to tackle the problems. They have their solution framework ready prior to the problem arising. They follow a pattern to plan the solutions & they talk about the solutions & not the problems.
Their mind is looking for the possibilities hidden within the problem, it is looking for the learning & opportunities they can harvest in the process of solving the problem.
Leaders turn the problems into projects. They master the solution-oriented mindset & this is how they become leaders.
They take the responsibility with passion to bring a satisfying solution that will not only wipe out the problem but will create something new. When a problem arises, leaders will take action toward the solution without wasting energy in complaining & criticizing.
Quote 8
“As soon as you truly commit to making something happen, the “how” will reveal itself.”
The seed comes prior to the tree & the big tree that we can see with our eyes has its root in the invisible hidden roots.
The roots are the reason for the tree, when there are no roots there isn’t the possibility of the tree. The tree begins from the roots & it grows based on the strength of the roots.
Similarly, the success of a successful person we can see with our eyes but it has its roots in the unseen commitment & determination that was prior to the success. That was the beginning of success & there has been no possibility of success without commitment.
People getting involved in the “how” lack the true commitment needed to achieve success. They are not yet determined & filled with doubts about their own powers.
They have already accepted deeply that they cannot achieve so they remain stuck in the “how”. They do not reach anywhere & run in circles like a dog catching its own tail.
Successful men are not worried about the “how” but they are designing their dream prior to achieving it.
They are celebrating it before it has happened. They are totally confident that they are going to achieve the target. Their mind is one focused & sharp making it powerful directing energies towards the dream.
The “how” manages itself & reveals from an unknown direction. The super-conscious mind with higher intelligence plans in its own ways. Its ways are not logical & not understandable on the surface level.
To connect to the higher intelligence, one needs to have total trust in the universal powers. This trust acts as a root on which the tree of success blossoms.
Quote 9
“Focus on where you want to go, not on what you fear.”
Mind is our ability to think thoughts. At any given moment, we are thinking some kind of thought in our brain.
We are focusing on something & the mind is creating imaginations, feelings & vibrations in our inner being.
Mind is like a factory machinery that takes input as thoughts & creates feelings based on the thoughts as a result of the physical body.
When one keeps the focus of the mind on fear, by thinking thoughts of fear then the mind will create fearful vibrations in the physical body. The body acts as per the vibrations provided to it & it further takes the action.
The fearful thoughts result in fearful actions & life becomes full of situations that are based on fear. The inner thinking is affecting the outer reality & this all begins with a single thought in the mind.
We also have the ability to change the focus of the mind & direct the thinking process towards the way we want to.
We can direct the mind as we ride a bike controlling the different components of the bike while riding it & we reach out to our favorite destination. If we can see that the bike is running in the wrong direction, we can always take the turn & move in the direction that we love to go.
We are the riders of the mind & with practice we can learn to direct it to the feeling of good thoughts.
“We can change the script of our life story by focusing on the thoughts that make us feel good.”
As the mind receives the inputs of good thoughts it produces good feelings & it further results in attracting good circumstances in life.
Similarly, there are so many things available on an online shopping site & we choose the items that we love, we can choose the thoughts that we love & there are unlimited things out there open & available to think about.
Controlling the thought process inside changes everything outside.
Quote 10
“It’s what you practice in private that you’ll be rewarded for in public.”
Practice is the mandatory ingredient for cooking the food of success.
Practice requires persistence & like a bodybuilder working out in a gym every day he develops the muscles & shape of the body. If there was no gym there was no reward for the perfect body.
When we see a healthy person radiating health with a perfect body then we are looking just at the outcome. The person has practiced every day privately to reach the perfect body.
Winners make use of practice enormously.
They design the things to be practiced & then work on them on a routine basis without any breaks. They commit hard by practicing to the optimal performance. They remain focused & completely attentive while practicing.
They want to keep themselves ahead of everyone by increasing their potential to higher levels. They are targeted to reach the maximum potential of their own strength.
Great discipline is needed to remain consistent in the effort.
There are many increasing distractions all around us waiting to consume our attention. The distractions are the time wasters & they do not produce any outcome in life.
A disciplined person overcomes & removes all the distractions & remains disciplined in his practice. He remains focused on his goals & privately works on them for longer hours.
“When one achieves mastery by practicing then he becomes undefeatable.”
He creates a strength within him that knocks down every challenge. He accumulates mass-energy within him by working every day privately.
Winners are rewarded in the public & the reason for their reward is the hidden practice they have committed to do every day.
