Successful People 4

Successful People 4 ‘Lord, let me always desire more than I think I can do.,’— Michelangelo, There is a part of us that will not let us be content until we become all that we are capable of being. Life is not about resting on our past achievements and laurels and residing in our comfort zone. It is an adventure from being ordinary to extraordinary. Rev. Jack Boland urged, ‘Do not let good be the enemy of better.’ Your current situation may be good, but if a greater opportunity presents itself, you must be open to expand. This does not mean you are to run away or violate your integrity. If, however, you can step ahead with honesty, honour, and peace, you will enjoy the benefits of living in a larger Universe. Muscles stay strong and flexible only by use and stretching, and so does our mind. Challenge is the way of the Universe to show us what we can overcome. We should bless our dreams and our desires to identify the opportunity that is lurking as there could be several chances arising round the corner. We need the courage and humility to ask the Universe to provide such opportunities and leave behind all our limitations, step forward to live life as magnificent and gigantic, ordained by the Universe. We need to challenge our minds, so that the mind does not get inured or ossified. In turn, it will produce pathbreaking results. ‘Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour in your sails. Explore, dream and discover,’ wrote Mark Twain. Achievers stretch their hands and take up responsibility which empowers them to enter uncharted territories. This increases the level of their prana/chi, attention span and nature of work, adding a new dimension to the personality. Successful people are never straight jacketed in their approach and revel in taking risks. Only risk takers become game changers. Rahul Bajaj’s sons, Rajiv and Sanjiv, have embarked upon a fascinating idea to salvage the scrap from the decommissioned INS Vikrant to manufacture scooters. It is an innovative idea, utilizing scrap in a novel manner. While the bottom line of the exercise may be to generate profit, the unattainable thought is audacious. Therefore successful entrepreneurs never KILL an IDEA. An ingenious idea can be a platform for a radical discovery. Developers and achievers keep reflecting upon various possibilities, permutations and combinations and willy-nilly something emerges from some incredible invention. That awesome idea is breathtaking and amazing, stunning and awe-inspiring. When the idea is germinated, something stupendous takes place. ‘Think big and don’t listen to people who tell you it can’t be done. Life is too short to think small,’ writes Tim Feriss. The Universe listens to our deepest thoughts. If the thought is positive, we are blessed with positive results. The cardinal principle in life is to ensure that we receive and circulate only positive thoughts. We should ensure that we are surrounded by efficacious oriented people, keep accepting responsibility and ensure that we possess a YES mind. Successful enterprises ensure that their workforce perform in harmony and synergy, while working in teams. The Universe believes in the Laws of Attraction, Laws of Abundance, Laws of Gratefulness, Laws of Spiraling Effect. All this gets transformed into what Darren Hardy calls the Compound Effect. Next, we ought to always feel blessed and have faith that a superior power is guiding us in our endeavours. There is a superior intelligence which is always creating wonderful opportunities for us and these should be seized with humility. A triumphant individual hinges his belief that the Divine will take care of everything and Thy will be done by simply reposing faith in that Superior Power. Successful Ppeople work on these principles where the football swerves like a parabola and enters the net and we are benumbed in only giving a standing ovation. That is the miracle performed. You may call it the power of the Almighty or the architecture of the Universe. But this works on the premise of the power of positive thinking.
