Purpose: CEO of success

"All that a man achieves and all that he fails to achieve is the direct result of his thoughts" - James Allen

Life becomes, regardless of our circumstances, what we conceive. Garden looks beautiful and pleasing and blossoms fruits that a garner desires, so is the garden of our life. With thoughts guided by righteousness and noble goals plant seed of success in our life. Thoughts attract happiness if they are guided by principle of moral values and a life long purpose. Thoughts attract despair, gloom and failures if they are guided by demons of immoral values.

A well conceived purpose molds your thoughts into pursuit of kind, pure,gentle deeds that blossom fruits of your dreams as a fertilizer blossoms the fruits of well planned, prepared harvest. Purpose becomes lightning rod that guides your thoughts to get organized and act on achieving what your mind conceives. You can not direct circumstances around you but you can direct your thoughts to a well planned purpose and thus control the circumstances. Law of nature attracts and reshape circumstances to which your mind desires and acts on incessantly. if you abandon thoughts of failure and seek the temple of shining success with faith and utmost resolve, nature will facilitate your journey to success by inspiring you with thoughts of opportunities that await for your ride to the doors of success. Act of compassion, kindness and persistence shall never end up in valley of failure. A weak man can build strong body as Mr. Arnold Schwarzenegger once did by strong resolve. A weak mind can thus build a strong character with strong resolve to train his thoughts and to accept responsibility for where he is because of his actions and thinking. This resolve and incessant desire to seek happiness, health and prosperity with a noble purpose can conquer any heights of doubts and fear. It will prepare you to face failure as a mere interim, short lived noise in your pathway to success rather than a defining end of your journey.

As a spiritual person devotes his life to attain glory of god, a person with purpose shall devote his life to seek the glory of the purpose either material or spiritual. Without linking thoughts to purpose, life drifts as though horses wanders without a master. Purpose shall be well defined, written down and memorize to propel mind towards its attainment. Goals are subordinate to your purpose and they act in harmony with your purpose to circumvent external forces of short lived fear and failures that may hinder your progress. Memorizing and visualizing a well defined purpose will regroup your thought train to produce meaningful, measurable actions. Having devotee of the purpose, life propels in to space of achievement as does rocket propels straight into space, not left nor right due to external forces of doubts, indecision and failures.

Seeds of thoughts nurtured by definite purpose reaps well conceived, sweet fruits of health, happiness and success as the seeds of fruits nurtured by its keeper. Without the definite purpose, these seeds of thoughts sprung in all the directions as weed without care of its keeper.


Take time and find purpose in your life. Purpose shall be what makes your life happy and fulfilling. It shall not be driven by false impulse of money, flame or glory since if your mind sets to devote itself in a well defined purpose, these virtues will be a byproduct of your devotion. If you've never introspected and self analyzed your life, it is drifting in this ocean of meaningless, mediocre voyage. Take control of your life boat as it is willing to obey your direction to the voyage of land of shining success. Act now or you never will

Want to loose weight ?

New year is around the corner. Often, one of the most common resolutions that people make every year is to shade pounds off their body to look fit. Excellent. It's a positive purpose to regain shape and feel better but time spent on the treadmill alone will not help you reach this goal for long time since exercised body without a determined mind is akin to a rebuilt car with novice driver. If you understand that mind can do miracles, if you believe that things happens with thoughts then you will find this essential clue for the happy, fulfilling life. As much your body needs exercise , mind needs food of positivity since positive mind can guide your actions filled with incessant desire and passion to engage your daily life in pursuit of a definite goal which we call dream.

A woman, Nancy Makin, recently lost 500 pounds and credited all of that to strangers on the internet who made her believe in herself, filled her days on the blogs with positive, uplifting exchange of thoughts to inspire her and to find a purpose driven burning desire to change herself. What happened to her is awesome but underlying principle is ancient. We all have two forms of imagination - synthetic and creative. Synthetic imagination is being built on life experiences and often remains passive. It is through creative imagination that one gets vibrations of minds of other people like the blog community that she was part of. it's thorough creative imagination that she received definite road map or intelligence to change her life not just her appearance. Through this faculty of creative imagination that her subconscious mind got ignited and the rest is the history which you can read on the Yahoo portal.

So, next time when you make a new year resolution to look healthy and feel happy, remember this mantra that "thoughts are things" and as famous writer of past century brilliantly summarized in his book "think and grow rich" - "Whatever your mind can conceive and believe it can achieve".

Are you lucky ?

If you dwell into words that people use to justify some one's success, often you'll hear word "luck" or he or she is "very lucky". That belief itself is rooted in the negative state of mind that believes that success is a virtue and nature only gifted certain group of individuals with this generous gift.What a sad state of mind ? Truth can't be any further from reality as nature wants you to be successful as well if you program your mind to vibrate at the same frequency that nature does.You will ask, what do you mean ? What I mean is that think why success belongs to certain individual ? It is because that person found a passion in his or her life that drove all the horses of success - burning desire, faith and unending ambitions. As foreign it may sound, pursuing your dreams or passion has hardly any nexus with success or wealth. Wealth comes as a mere byproduct, as a gift of nature for all the hard work, passion, love and deep desire to achieve success and happiness.

Take time to ponder over this recipe of success and have fun making success.

  • 1: Have a clear thoughts of "what you wanted". No one has achieved success without knowing where to go.
  • 2: Have plan of action - Act on it everyday.
  • 3: Visualize the success - Dreams blended with imaginations create an incessant burning desire will provide fuel for success. Think and act as if you are successful. This will reinforce positivity in your thinking and actions.
  • 4: Persevere: Greater the desire for success; greater is the need to persevere.
  • 5: Be flexible: Thomas Edison said that success is 90% efforts and 10% genius. What he meant is that to be successful you'll need plan and act on it but if you meet failure then be honest to modify your plan of actions. Think how mountain climbers achieve their goal. They know clearly what they want - "to reach the peak". They have a route but if they feel to change their route, they are flexible since their goal is not to nurture their ego but to reach at the pinnacle.
  • 5: Attitude: This is by far the most important traits of success since attitude can build or ruin your mind.

All of above simply trains your subconscious mind to think and act like a millionaire or dream achiever but negative attitude will evade and control your subconscious mind and it will prevent you from achieving any success. Law of nature suggests that actions and reactions are equal in force. Thus negative attitude will bring you misery, despair and failures where positive attitude will bring happiness, joy and success.

It is not costing you anymore to be positive than it does to be negative. If being positive brings riches why are you so negative ? Well, you'll say I am not. Really, didn't I hear you vouch words "lucky" ?

Dharma - Code of conduct for happiness

There is plethora of information about happiness with the advent of world wide web but I seldom see clear anatomy of happiness defined anywhere. That's not surprising considering the fact that happiness comes from sources sometimes even not known to us. One leading factor though undeniably is one's understanding of "Dharma" which mean one's incessant pursuit of inner and outer happiness with acts of spiritual and moral compassion for all. Ancient Hindu scriptures refer to Dharma as "atman" mean deep inner consciousness or soul. Life ends when soul exits from our body and due to firm integral ties between our soul and Dharma, life looses its moral path once we abandon Dharma.

So, you may ask, what is Dharma ? Vedic scriptures of ancient India defines that life has four major motivational forces. Dharma, Kama, Artha and Moksha. Dharma instills inner strength and spiritual will power and acts as soul purifier to lead our life for an eternal happiness. Kama leads us to happiness with sensual acts. Artha creates burning desire to achieve financial success and the most important of all is moksha means leading life devoted to high spiritual standards to attain heaven and to free one's soul from endless cycle of reincarnation.

We shall ask ourselves everyday, did I do any acts of kindness or compassion ? did I try to be a better father, mother, husband or wife today ? Am I attaining higher moral values ? Answers to these questions will improve your everyday life code of conduct and it will lead your life towards everlasting peace, prosperity and happiness since your actions will conform to law of nature.

Passion - Fuel for success

Burning desire transcends state of brain that engages the subconscious mind to focus and ultimately leads to the path of success. But, where does this burning desire comes from ? Is that in our gene ? You would find it surprising but burning desire is a form of energy generated by compulsive, positive state of mind called passion.

Passion stimulates faculty of creative imagination in our brain through this imagination power one can communicate to subconscious minds of other individuals and nature. Nature implants gifts of ideas into conscious mind when its filled with creative imagination. This is how Mahatma Gandhi became champion of human rights, Winston Churchill for freedom and Martin Luther King Jr. for equality. Passion also nurtures faculty of willpower and persistence since they are essential elements on the trails of success.

During gold rush, Mr. Darby from Maryland got passionate to find gold. He spent long time to find area potentially filled with gold and started mining that area. After days of mining he gave up due to lack of willpower and persistence. Soon, he sold machinery to another man who found gold just few feet under and became rich. This taught a great lesson to Mr. Darby to be passionate about the dream and to pursue it till the day of shining success and he later became very successful in his life.

Ask yourself "Do you love what you do ?". "Will you do this if you know that you will not get paid for this work ?". "Do you feel happy and find peace when you focus on your work ?" If answer is resounding YES then you are on trails of success. If answer is NO then your life track needs new directions.

Passion has stupendous power to ignite brain faculty of common man to uncover astonishing discoveries. Einstein, a mediocre student, who later became greatest scientist ever or Thomas Edison, who never finished beyond elementary school, to become the greatest inventor ever.

Energy

Ether is made up of energy and matter. Our actions and behaviour constantly generates positive or negative energy. A positive, selfless act or Karma generates true sense of happiness, pride and self esteem that elevates an individual to achieve greatness beyond his or her own imagination.

Buddha once said that "Life is an echo" - This axiom has nexus to every life on this earth. For instance, criminals surround themselves with other criminals since they see and satisfy their sense of gratification in other individual who behaves and acts alike. Only FAITH and determination to change can lift spirit of such an individual to break their downward path. Thus it is essential to surround and socialize with individuals who are positive and strive to achieve higher ground socially and spiritually in their life since mere association with such individuals can aspire your soul to perform Karma of selfless, loving acts and to achieve an eternal peace and happiness.

A study by Harvard researchers reveal that our subconscious mind resists negative energy or simply attitude initially if we surround ourselves with the group of negative, pessimistic people but as time goes it start to embrace and idolize the same negative force due to repetition. What this proves that a person becomes who he surrounds with. Our attitude is a form of our perception and experience and negative, despair perception of ours lead our life to greater miseries and despair. Analyze all of your friends and family members and see who is a positive and negative influence in your life and make strong will to avoid relationship with negative, gloomy individuals and start a life long journey to the peaks of success and happiness.

Attitude

Attitude has immense role in our life as attitude defines our character. Attitude controls our behaviour and state of mind. Our perception and knowledge together forms our attitude. Thus it is vital to develop positive, optimistic perception of the world to embrace gratitude towards blessings of god to live another day on this great earth. Ether in which our earth resides created matter and energy. Our body is a form of matter that generates energy - positive or negative. Positive energy is characterized by happiness, a state of mind essential for success. Negative energy is characterized by fear, depression and sad state of mind. Our attitude is conductor of positive or negative energy thus it is vital that we pledge ourselves to develop attitude of gratitude, and to be thankful for a gift of life and to firmly believe that every dawn brings next stage of accomplishment and fulfillment that life has to offer.

John D Rockefeller was wealthy at age of thirty two and at age of forty-three he had an oil empire yet he failed in controlling his attitude. His negative attitude brought him fear to loose his fortune. His own brother did not want to associate with Rockefeller and this man of immense fortune looked way old beyond his age. His income was at the time was a million dollars a week but two dollars a week would have paid for all the food he could eat. All of these miseries were born out of a single state of mind - negative attitude.

If you feel that you are getting angry easily or depressed or feeling to give up on your dreams than I suggest that you need to evaluate your attitude and make pledge to be most positive, optimist person with patience and respect for all whom you come across and miracle will happen. Your life will transform forever.

Eight Words That Can Transform Your Life

Great Roman philosopher Epictetus taught Romans nineteen centuries ago "There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will." It is known research that most men and women worry about things that they can not control but those worries consummate their mind regardless.

Another great philosopher who ruled the Roman Empire, Marcus Aurelius, summed up this that can transform your life - "Our life is what our thoughts make it." Yes, if we think happy thoughts, we will be happy. If we think fear thoughts, we will be fearful. If we think sickly thoughts, we will be ill. If we think failure, we will certainly fail.

Napoleon and Helen Keller are two perfect illustration of this axiom. Napoleon had everything men yearn for - glory, power and wealth - yet he said at Saint Helena, "I have never known six happy days in my life"; while Helen Keller - blind, deaf dumb - declared: "I have found life so beautiful." This proves that you can conquer the world but if you can not conquer your own mind and thoughts then you will not find peace and happiness.

Mahatma Gandhi had no glory, power nor any riches but in this man world found an astounding leader who led country of two hundred millions with more power, glory and spiritual riches than any leader of his time. His secret of success was in his own faith and positive thoughts that knew no fear as he backed his immense faith with principles of nature - truth and justice for all human kind.

Montaigne, a great French philosopher, adopted these seventeen words as the motto of his life:"A man is not hurt so much by what happens, as by the opinion of what happens."

Make practice to analyze source of the worry and ask yourself if you can have any impact on the source. If you can, take immediate actions to make an impact. If you can not, why worry ?

Think Healthy to be Wealthy

Health is essential to a happy, fulfilling life. Health is tangible since it shows in a beautiful, fit body. Subconscious mind is as important for the success or wealth in our life since all things happen with thoughts. Thoughts directs subconscious mind to orchestrate actions necessary to create wealth. Thus training subconscious mind to receive positive thoughts and to avoid negative thoughts is vital in wealth creation. In its simplest form, if you listen to message of FAITH either from a religious source or a leader or if you study lives of successful people then your subconscious mind with repetition gets these positive energy or impulses and directs your actions to attain the success but if you listen to negative news, read stories of despair, agony and failures then your subconscious mind directs you to attain as you guess right, nothing but despair, agony and failures. So, train your subconscious mind to stop functioning like auto on/off switch when it comes across message of negative energy or impulses. Wake up every day and reaffirm to yourself that nothing is impossible and that your life is getting better every day. Today will be better than yesterday and tomorrow will surely be better than today.

Auto Suggestion - Remedy for success

Auto suggestion is a simple application of positive or negative brain impulses sent to the subconscious mind via thoughts, writing, speaking and repetition. Eventually subconscious mind picks up these impulses and immediately start working on it. Successful people make constant positive auto suggestions to their subconscious mind which provides FAITH to achieve goals seemingly not possible for other people.

The words by Jesus "Thy faith hath made thee whole" suggest that force or energy that heals sick resides within his or her mind. Positive autosuggestion creates energy in form of unshakable FAITH to achieve goals and dreams one can.

President Lincoln failed in his life for most of his adult life well into his 40's before he became what is now known as one of the greatest President's of this great country. It was application of auto suggestion that kept his FAITH alive in his belief of eventual victory.

Replace negative impulses of "I can not", "It is too hard", "Impossible" with positive impulses of "Yes, I can", "Nothing is too hard", "Anything is possible" and you will see your life will change for ever. GUARANTEED

Think Big

"1. Believe it can be done. Believing a solution paves the way for the solution.
"2. Don't let tradition paralyze you. Receptive to new ideas. Try new approaches.
Never stop finding new ways for the fear of getting lost.
"3. Ask yourself daily, 'How can I do better? How can I be better?'
"4. Ask yourself, 'How can I do more?' Capacity is a state of mind.
"5. Practice asking and listening. Remember big people monopolize the listening;
small people monopolize the talking.
"6. Associate yourself with people who can help you to think of new ideas, new ways of doing things
"7. Be persistence. Persistence is the driver that produces the expressway to success.

Romans came to the cliffs of Dover. They first were repulsed and sent back home. When they came again, the Saxons were on the cliffs looking down, far outnumbering the Romans. But the Romans landed and taking all their supplies ashore, turned with one dramatic and decisive event that carried the day. They sat fire to their wooden ships and pushed them back out into the English channel to burn to the waterline and to sink. Then with great resolve they unsheathed their swords and turned to march with forceful resolution into the fact of the battle. The Saxon fled due to great RESOLVE and COMMITMENT shown by Romans. We all can show this resolve and commitment to attain pinnacle of our dreams

Power of DESIRE

Cultivating inner deep, burning desire transmutes into the seeds of faith that keeps one's remarkable journey to achieve unthinkable. Burning desire is a life line to a sparkle of idea that eventually becomes pathway to one's success beyond limits. Deep, burning desire backed with deeply rooted faith helped Thomas Edison to invent light bulb after he failed thousand times.
It was same fiery desire that kept Henry Ford who never attended high school let alone college dreaming to build an automobile which later changed the economic landscape of America. It was burning desire of Edwin C Barnes, who dream to be a partner of the greatest inventor Thomas Edison, to lift him out of his humble begging and to become a millionaire.

Before you can Create a Desire you must have a clear Mental Image of what
you need to Desire. Thus by constant positive, persistence thoughts of the desired outcome demands your subconscious mind to prioritize this desire and start directing your actions towards attainment of the desired outcome.

Thanksgiving - Learn to succeed

It's been almost four centuries since pilgrims arrived in America. We all celebrate the day when Indians showed their friendship to the pilgrims but we do never think about those pilgrims who left life of comfort in search for a land of opportunity. Their mission was as noble as their pursuit of freedom, happiness and justice for all. It's a sadden state we live in where bulk of our generation depend of government to take care of their lives. Pilgrims did not have social security, nor any government handouts to live up to their dream. The fact is that they put everything on the line for a land of freedom and all of that began with a thought. They would have never imagined that country of their dream will become the most powerful in the world.
