Realigning your awesome

Leave a comment

You inspired awe when you were born, and as time flew by so did your aura of awe.  There was no right and wrong at that time, no good or bad, your instincts were appreciated and allowed to exhibit themselves in the most natural way. There was no self editing, self judgement and you just flowed in the most natural way.

As you grew up you were moderated and controlled, told to do the right things, corrected at every step by structures of our society, families, religions and governments all seemed to know whats right for you. These structures of society dictated your actions and their lessons, which you were better without, seeped through to your sub conscious. Thereby developing a self editing software which crippled your awesomeness. The same has been going on from generation to generation.

Awesome

The social prison, which cages your thoughts, limits your natural genius, forcing you to relinquish your instincts and choose a mechanical life instead. The things which you notice least are the biggest influencing factors here. Religion, family, governments all impose restrictions on your free spirit. They make you believe social acceptance and long term stability are the actual purpose of your life rather than creativity and imagination,

The blueprint of your life is designed by someone else even before you can make sense of the world properly.  By the time you understand how the word works, you have already gone too far on the path of mediocrity to take a step back.

But there is always freewill and choice. At any point of time in your existence you can decide to realign your life and get in touch with your own awesomeness once again. There will be sacrifices, fights, feuds and misunderstandings, but all are a small price to pay in order realign with your awesomeness.

Realigning with your Awesome

Weed out the society induced stresses from your brain. There are methods ad ways to observe yourself, to find whether you are in tune with your own awesomeness and working on passions or your alignment is off, and you base your life on fear.

If you are in alignment with your awesome self, you will work on faith rather than on fear.

Here are some ways of recognizing and re aligning with your awesomeness:

  1. Pause: The first and most difficult aspect of realigning with your awesomeness is to take a break from whatever you are engaged in. Yes, the task demands you and it would be impossible for you to get away from it, but your life is more important than all the money you make.
  2. Silence Logic- Your socially conditioned brain will talk you out of all your attempts of realigning with your awesomeness, so observe these thoughts and let them pass till they get muted by themselves. Meditation or just sitting alone with oneself will be effective in doing this.
  3. Identify Bliss- It is not selfish to do whats best for you. After silencing the mind, it will be easy to identify things which make you feel blissful. These are the things you are genuinely passionate about. Things which you can work on endlessly, without expecting rewards.
  4. Flow- Once you attain this blissful picture, just let your spirit flow in this direction. Observe the resistance that you will face but do whatever it takes to overcome it to let your spirit flow.

This is how you will realign with your awesomeness. A state of mind with effortless execution of all tasks, a belief system fueled by faith not fear. This state will help you follow passionate pursuits and empower you with a relentless obsession which will help you fulfill your purpose on the planet.

We are not occupying Earth to spend most of our lives behind desks and jobs to ensure weekly and monthly sustenance. We are not here to spectate events, news, shows and the lives of those around us. We are here to contribute, and an awesome mindset will definitely contribute.  My book 6 ways to the world elaborates on other ways of realigning with your awesome, read it now.

Is it OK to be strange?

Leave a comment

Misfit, rebel, freak, clown are the common nomenclature for people who stand out from the crowd. These people belong to two categories, one, who are clueless about whats going on in their lives, and the others who care less about the mediocre opinion around them while chasing greatness. The latter category justify their strangeness in due time, as to achieve anything significant one has to go beyond the status quo.

The most important factor which legitimizes your success is your conviction in pursuing your dream. The ones who find their purpose and chase it as if their existence depends on it leave no choice to themselves but to appear strange to the masses around them, who dispel anything other than their mediocre and mundane normality.

It is safe to say that if you are not labeled a freak by these normality lovers, your grind and hustle are controlled and will not reap desired results. Being  a little strange is a pre-requisite on your passionate pursuit. All great inventors and entrepreneurs were considered strange till they realized their dreams, from then on they were celebrated and worshiped.


No one wants you to stand out of the crowd

The thing about a crowd is, it always has the majority, it never wants you to separate from it, it will be the first to laugh at you or criticize your first mistake. It is the bitter truth, but human nature goes against the so called strangers who are on passionate pursuits.

The basic instincts of human propagate security and togetherness, so the first attempt of someone wanting to do something more or separating themselves from the status quo is questioned, criticized and suppressed. Everyone close to you, seems to have all the ideas as to why your new idea wont work, this quashes all your attempts and philosophies of breaking the status quo.

But only the ones whose dream is bigger than their reality can make this difficult decision of going against the crowd and bear all the criticism till a time when the crowd mutes, starts noticing the genius in your strangeness and finally starts following the new order that you live by.

Only Freaks achieve freakish goals

First they will ridicule you, then they will notice you, then they will praise you and finally start following you.

The strange people who are on passionate pursuits have desires so intense that it subliminally infiltrates their immediate surroundings. It percolates into the weak souls around them, enlightening them and empowering them to not be afraid to be strange in order to achieve their dreams .

A little insanity is a must in order to make great goals come alive. Those people who take the risk of temporarily appearing strange to a certain group of people, end up achieving much more than that entire group of people. Just like the bird who takes the risk of separating itself from security of the flock, discovers pastures richer in nectar and seeds.

If you’re going to try go all the way

All the way.

So its OK to be strange if you are chasing passionate pursuits, just remember that if you’re going to try go all the way.  Don’t let a few people with a limited mindset distract you from the greater goals you chase. Don’t let anyone come in between you and your ultimate dreams, your critics will soon turn into your fans if your conviction towards your dreams is sustained.

Act on your goals from the depth of your soul

Leave a comment

Its your mind its your time, you either use it or lose it,

Only those who can see the invisible can achieve the impossible.

Goals without action are absolutely insignificant. In the modern world planning camouflages procrastination. People delay today’s action so that they can plan better, and they keep planning till ultimately their goals get lost in the race for sustenance.

Out of the few who understand their purpose in life, many waste too much time in planning for the perfect moment to act. As the perfect moment never arrives, visions, and plans remain lingering in thought till they vanish, with no tangible consequences.

The ones who believe in the beauty of their dreams never hesitate to act. In this chaotic world, there is no perfect plan, there is only trial and error. The ones who act give themselves the highest chance to succeed. They might fail a million times, but they are far ahead from those are still planning to act.

Taking action comes naturally if you have attached your soul to a goal. Otherwise you are only wasting your life trying to justify yourself to the expectations of the society and silencing the crowd of expectations.

Own your dream, don’t succumb to herd mentalities

With a number of agencies promoting luxury lifestyles and  entrepreneurship, its a modern world trend to indulge in such aspirations. Consequently there is a plethora of individuals halfheartedly trying to pursue borrowed dreams so that they are not left behind from the crowd.

These halfhearted dreamers spend their lives planning for the perfect time cause their dreams are not theirs. Without passion, talking and planning about your borrowed goals can only help you in silencing people around you temporarily.

Sit with yourself in absolute isolation. Spend time in identifying your purpose, a purpose which originates from the soul of the universe. if you try, you will most definitely understand it. This purpose will be fueled by limitless passion, which will help you survive through times when you come across obstacles in your pursuit of glory..If you chase  anything  halfheartedly you will quit at the first failure.

Care paralyzes Action

As it is the people around, care for you too much to allow you take the leap of faith. For them your safety and comforts come before all the hardships you would have to suffer to achieve your dream. Don’t get paralyzed by their fear, they cant see what you can.

If you spend too much time planning without action, you empower these people to pull you back. So as soon as you have identified your true goal, start chasing it, without thinking too much about how it all will work out. The universe supports those who start acting on their goals in ways words fail to describe.

Once you are empowered, empower

Understand this concept and don’t delude someone else by caring for them too much, so that you make them sacrifice their dreams. When you chase your passions each and every aspect of your being, will automatically inspire the people around you. The ones who are not evolved enough to understand your energy will perish from your immediate surroundings.

Build relationships where you are mutually inspired, where the only alternative is progress and fulfillment of individual and group goals. Its your destiny to meet people along the way, who will inspire you. Some will inspire by aligning you with your aspirations further, others by making you understand the mediocrity of smaller visions.

Extracting the most out of Evolution

goals

The future is the universal response of the actions you put in today. Every micro moment can be wasted pondering, or utilized acting towards your major goals. Spend these moments in accordance with the greater goals.

The present generation thinks faster than the previous one. But it also is less committed, less focused and less hard working. If only we can combine the hard work of our past generations with the evolutionized brains of today, we will be able to create magic.  Don’t waste the gift of technology to witness life or share event, utilize it to help you achieve your dreams faster.

The power of patience

Leave a comment

Wise farmers aren’t overwhelmed by the splendor of a blooming flower,

They appreciate the ephemeral spectacle but aren’t enamored by beauty’s captivating power.

For their minds are inclined on elevated planes beyond the rest,

They spend their time nurturing plants so that they reap a sweet harvest.

Men are often faced with a similar proposition,

When  momentary pleasure and hard work stand in opposition,

At these moments its about will and control,

The choice seems obvious but only few look beyond the rapture of a temporary glow.

At the end it all comes down to patience. The majority is limited to enjoying momentary pleasures and foregoing hard work because its result aren’t immediate.

A flower blooms faster and a fruit takes time to grow. To reap the actual benefits of a plant you have to tend to it unconditionally for a longer period of time. The better and longer you work towards its development the better is the harvest.

The power of patience is unparalleled. Looking at immediate returns from any endeavor disobeys the laws of the universe. Good things like fruits take their time to ripen.

Those looking at immediate returns out of whatever task they might undertake are standing in their own way of being successful. When you aren’t rewarded immediately, you quit, this trait is embedded in your personality over a period of time. As a result success remains elusive. You inability to persist disqualifies your chances of success. The few times you do achieve success is out of luck and luck runs out sooner rather than later.

Its not that you wont see the signs of your hard work. If you water your plant and nourish it well you do see it grow. Over a period of time you do see seeds and flowers. Progress has its physical manifestations but progress should encourage you to increase your effort and not rest on your laurels.

By seeing signs of your hard work bearing fruit you should not slack or slow down. Contrary to this you should be enriched with a fresher energy, which compels you to put in double the effort. There will be times when the growth is slow, this energy will help you through those trying times.

How the society affects patience?

Social confirmation is the biggest enemy of patience these days. Its impossible to have everyone supporting you  when you are not getting immediate results Everyone doesn’t have our vision and cant project the future which you can. Hence it is recommended to not seek social confirmation as it would mot definitely lead you towards mediocre fast rewarding tasks rather than being patient with your dreams .

Patience

So once you are certain of what you want go after it with all you got. Yes you will see its difficult and people who care for you would advise you against it, but at the end you will make them proud. Temporary skirmishes shouldn’t alter your vision, if you believe in the power of patience at the end your doubters will become your followers.

Have patience with yourself

The modern world is all about low attention spans and influenced behavior, The ones who pursue dreams often lack the will to persist with them for long enough. Any significant achievement requires skill talent hard work, but only those who have patience last the distance. You have to outlast the doubts inside your own mind and the inertia of the doubters around you. Patience is your prime ally in this quest.

Have a Good Day.

D.A.R.E. – Harness your genius

Leave a comment

You can either wake up inspired or wake up consumed by a web of mediocrity, you can either wake up justifying your genius or compromising your talents , you can either wake up with unparalleled drive or wake up in utter desolation, you can either wake up with the energy of a thousand stars or as an insignificant  consequence of a cosmic accident. You can wake up as the conqueror born to dent destiny or the victim born to just make up the numbers.

The state that you wake up in every single morning determines the way your life goes. Everything that goes on in your life through the day and in your life is a consequences of this mental state you wake up with daily.

The limitless power of the human spirit is never harnessed fully and your genius is often wasted. Here is a secret mantra which is not that secret, but puts things into perspective for the ones who are not chasing their dreams and living a fulfilled life:

 Dream – Either you dream about getting that candy, that car, that house or that iPhone or you dream bigger. The quality of your dreams determines how you wake up in the morning. You can either chase little material comforts or dream bigger.  If you cant dedicate every cell of your being to your dream, you should not pursue it at all. The fire inside you is fueled by the hugeness of your dream. DREAM BIG and DREAM OFTEN.

Achieve – You can have anything if you put your soul into it. If you can envision it, the universe grants you with the will to achieve it. Achievement is a consequence of dedication and devotion towards your dream. Devote yourself and never give up, you will achieve everything you envision. Once you achieve a dream you are well on your way of achieving all of them.

Repeat- Never be satisfied, let the hunger inside you drive you beyond your limits every single day. The endlessness of success and achievement is a motivation in itself to perpetuate the process of dreaming and achieving. Inspired souls spend the entire quota of their natural lives driven towards a cause. This endless drive to achieve is more fulfilling than any achievement.

Empower- When you achieve your own dreams you not only satisfy yourself but also empower others to become dream chasers. If you go after greatness everyone around you is inspired by your palpable energy. This empowers them to relinquish their mediocrity and choose to dance with destiny themselves.

Winners win and Losers lose. You can either wake up to dare or scared, its about what you choose.

The gift of life is best enjoyed chasing dreams and being the shining light for others to follow. Do whatever it takes to harness your genius. Whatever you do and dream for, chase it with utter dedication. Elevate your mind and justify the genius inside you.
