7 Steps to Success

By

After the tryout I sat down with friends to find out if this was something we really wanted or if it was just a urge brought on by talk among the friends at college. Determining if this was truly our goal was critical because shaving 30 seconds off our time represented a 25% improvement. And that kind of improvement would require real commitment and dedication to the cause. To make matters more challenging, the next and final tryout would be a year later - leaving little time to produce fantastic results.

 Determine What You Want: Before start on the 7 Steps to Success you must know at what you want to succeed. You must have determined in very specific terms what success looks like, feels like, tastes like and smells like.There can be no uncertainty. 

 The most successful people their work differently than most. See how they:

 Carolina: My case success means being able to live and achieve our dreams. 
Mohan: Success means independence and happiness.

 Step 1: Believe You WILL Be Successful: Over the course of our adult life we have spent a considerable amount of time reading academic journals, books, articles and watching videos about human potential. In nearly 100% of the content is the conclusion that goals are difficult-to-impossible to achieve if you do not have an internal belief that you can do it. Study after study has been conducted on the power of positive affirmation. If you can't look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself genuinely that you can do it then most likely, no matter how much effort and training you put into it, you will have a difficult time reaching your goal. You must believe in yourself! 

Step 2: Create a Tailored Success Plan: There is more than one way to reach an objective. Some people prefer the shortest route. Others prefer the scenic route. Some prefer to travel in the morning and others are night owls. It is important to realize that one size does not fit all. As such, a program for success should take into consideration the approach that will create actions that are sustainable and ultimately achieve the goal.

 Step 3: Change Failing Habits: The toughest part of creating a Success Plan is the need to look at ourselves objectively. We many times have problems admitting that our approaches are flawed and not working. Success requires changing what does not work into what does work.

Step 4: Imitate Successful Habits in Others: While each Success Plan should be customized to who we are it does not mean that we must reinvent the wheel every time. Certain habits may apply regardless of the individual. It is important to analyze others that have had the success we seek and imitate the habits that are consistent with who we are. 

 Step 5: Refuse To Be Average: Every one wants to be a Something. But it requires not only meeting the time requirement but also the completion of a hard work on their goal. Achievement and success does not go to the average. It goes to the above average. If you are happy with the status then you have no reason to rubbish and moan. it is the truth. Demand more from yourself.

 Step 6: Work Your Butt Off: My research into human potential has resulted in reading a great number of biographies on successful historical figures. Good enough can never be good enough. Success requires a continuous effort because success is like time - it's here and then it's gone. Those individuals that have led successful lives are those that have continuously tended to their goals. You may not be able to take a step forward every day. But keep your feet moving. Forward, backward, sideways. It does not matter. Just keep moving and keep working toward your goal.

 Step 7: Learn From Your Failures: "Fail Often. Fail Fast. Fail Forward." With all this talk about success and Success Plans it may be difficult to believe that we learn very little from success. It is our failures that provide us with the greatest feedback and lessons. A life free of failure is a life free of success. I truly believe that. As you move forward with your Success Plan be sure to carefully analyze the failures along the way to ensure that you learn the most from the experience. Next time the situation comes around you'll identify it, respond differently and succeed.

Truth on The Seven Chakras And Their Significance In all our Life!

By
Our body is an energetic system through which the universal life force flows and our seven chakras are a part of this energetic system. The chakras are not something physical and we can’t see them. They are aspects of our consciousness. They help us to understand the close relationship between our consciousness and our body, or what we call as the mind-body relationship. They connect us with the larger part of ourselves, the universe, and at the same time they hold the secrets to a healthy, prosperous and gratifying life. Importance of Chakra System: Chakras are the psychoactive energy centers in the human body. Although most people have heard of seven chakras, there are actually 114 chakras in the human body. In addition to the 114 chakras, there are 72,000 nadis or energy channels, along which vital energy or ‘prana’ moves. When these nadis meet at different points in the body, they form a triangle. We call this triangle a chakra, which means “wheel” or “circle”. We call...

Train your soul to be happier!!!

( Continued Part I ) 5 Determine your core values. Your core values determine how you think about yourself, your life, and the world around you. These beliefs guide your decision-making. They may be spiritual, or they may not, but they’re the things that are fundamental to how you look at life.   For example, “commitment to excellence” could be a value, or “dedication to family” or “belief in a higher power.” Whatever your values are, research suggests that when you aren’t living your life and making choices that are “value-congruent,” i.e., in line with your values, you’re likely to feel unhappy and dissatisfied. Research suggests that when you are consciously aware of your values, you’re more likely to act in accordance with them. Take a little time and reflect on what is most important and meaningful in your life. You can think about times when you felt happiest or most satisfied and what the common factors in those situa...

Train your soul to be happier!!!

By
Happiness is not a simple goal but is progress as a result of striving, seeking, finding and keeping self-actualizing work and fun, even when it's as elusive as ever. Being happy often means finding satisfaction/contentment, feeling joyful, and sensing that your life is meaningful. Nobody is jolly and elated all the time, but some individuals are definitely more fulfilled than others. Method 1: Developing a Happy Outlook     Change your soul (spirit). People have an unfortunate tendency to lock on to remembering negative experiences but forgetting the positive ones. However, thanks to adaptability (neuroplasticity), you can actually change the way your soul functions. You can train your soul to be happier.   Practice mindfulness. Occupy your mind with positive thoughts and humming a tune, for happy effects on the mind and body. Focusing on your experiences in the present moment without judging them can help you become more compassionate to yourself and...
