WAY TO SUCCESS
THE POWER OF THOUGHT &
THE LAW of LOVE
Bill Gates, Mother Teresa, Swami Vivekanada, Einstein, Newton, Thomas Edison, Sachin, Rahman, Steve Jobs, Ambani etc., Do you consider these people successful? Do you call them successful? The fact is you are also successful, in your own way of course. You have got your own accomplishments in your life which you could quote as your successes. You did pass your 7th class exams in distinction. You did get through your 10th class exams successfully. Did not you?
However, the major difference between you and them is these people are highly successful. Their success is so big that the whole world is celebrating their huge accomplishments. We idolize these people for their Grand successes. They are highly successful because they know the most powerful SECRET in the world. And that is the only one Secret that you need to know to become whoever you want, and to Create whatever you want. Do you really want to know the SECRET of their success? Do you want to apply this SECRET in your life too?
However, there is an irony here. There is a twist in the tale! You already are using the SECRET. All of you! But you do NOT know that you are using it. And You do not know HOW to use it! I am here to enlighten you on this aspect. And the pleasure is mine of course J
Before I reveal you the SECRET, let me ask you a couple of very powerful questions!
# What is the most powerful thing in the world? And
# What is the world made of?
Ok, here is the clue..think about it!
THINK about it!
Yes, the answer to both the questions is THE THOUGHT
THOUGHT is the most powerful thing in the world and the world is made of THOUGHTS
Everything around you was once a thought! For example, the iPhone you are carrying around with you in your pockets was once a draft on a piece of paper or on a computer, and much before that it was a powerfully conceived THOUGHT/IDEA in the mind of a man. You can only understand this world through your thoughts and as you are perceiving this world through your thoughts, you are creating an own world of yours. So philosophically, we are living in different worlds as constructed by our respective thoughts and thought processes. Bascially, we all are living in different realities.
THOUGHT is what that is making here the ultimate difference.
The successful people know very clearly HOW to THINK and WHAT to THINK.
Anyway, their SECRET is LAW OF ATTRACTION. You become what you THINK about the MOST. You can CREATE anything you WANT with your THOUGHTS. Your thoughts have energy. You are like a very big thought transmitter. And you are constantly sending out your thought waves. The universe can read your thoughts. It responds to your thoughts. It sends you the right people, right resources, right opportunities, create the right conditions in the right time for that THOUGHT of yours to become true!
Thoughts are who you are. The difference between a human and an animal lies in man’s ability to think. An idea can change your life. Yes, we all have seen that advt. of Abhishek Bachchan. That is right, of course, however what is even more important is the personal realization that thoughts and ideas are with what our lives are made up of.
I am talking about a LAW here, not a technique! Law of attraction is a Universal Law. Whether you believe it or not, understand it or not, consciously use it or not, your life shall still be subjected to this law and you are constantly manifesting your life with this LAW of ATTRACTION. If you are THINKING, you are creating your life with LAW of ATTRACTION. Simple!
You also attract what you do NOT want.
Law of attraction works like law of gravitation. Law of gravitation does not mind, if you are a good person or a bad person. If you jump out of a window from the first floor, you definitely are going to break your legs no matter how charitable a person you are 😉
Lets see this with an example.
Imagine to my right, a black car. Imagine a white car on my left.
.
I want that white car. And I do not want that black car.
But this is how I am doing it all wrong! I am now completely turned towards my left, and towards the black car and yelling, ‘I do not want this. I do not want this black car’. But notice that I am giving my focus and whole attention to it. And the black car is all what I could see now because that is what I am turned towards. And I turned my back towards the very thing I dearly wanted. Nowhere in my mind, there is a single thought about the white car. I am NOT thinking about what I want. I am now thinking about what I do NOT want. And black car is what I would attract for it is what I am thinking about! You become what you think about the MOST! As you spend most of your time THINKING about what you do NOT want, you just are attracting more of that.
Rememeber that you are a very powerful thought transmitter. And you produce massive amount of thoughts, 50,000-70,000 thoughts per day! Rememeber that you are also thinking in your dreams!
Wherever your attention goes, energy flows and wherever your energy flows that thing will grow.
The Power of Choice
The successful people first clearly determine what they WANT in their lives. The successful people know very clearly HOW to THINK and WHAT to THINK. The successful people consciously and continuously choose WHAT to think. They exercise their POWER of choice over their thoughts.
Successful people DREAM about SUCCESS
The failure focus on NOT FAILING or mere surviving
Rich people think/talk about money
The poor think/talk (complain) about the lack of money
Healthy people think/talk about fitness and health
Unhealthy people talk about their diseases (and thereby attracting more of them)
Happy people think/talk about happiness
The unhappy talk about the lack of happiness
The successful people attract the white car
The failures focus on the black car
ANR said to himself, ‘I want to live another 14 years’
Udai Kiran said to himself, ‘I do not want this life anymore!’
You greatest desires will come true and
Also your worst fears are coming true!
A student says to himself, ‘I just wanna pass in this exam!’, and that is what he would attract. A mere 35 marks or so. Another students who says to himself, ‘I will get 100 marks in this exam’ produces the results he wants.
If you choose to spend your time thinking good and positive things, you will attract good things into your life. If you spend your time thinking negative and destructive thoughts, you would attract bad things in your life. When you consciously choose your thoughts, you would control the outcome and the results. Always FOCUS on what you want.
The Power of Faith/Believing
Once, all villagers decided to pray for rain, on the day of the prayer all people gathered but only one boy came with umbrella. That is called FAITH. That is called believing! All the successful people in the world are this kind of believers. There are also other kind of believers. Majority of the people are of this kind. The kind of people who go to God and say, ‘God, please help me pass in the exams, I will give you my hair!’ That is not believing. That is bribery actually. This is not any Bhakti at all.
Let’s do a very small exercise. Please take a piece of paper, and a pen and answer the following questions very genuinely. If you do not have a paper or a pen, please beg, borrow or steal it from your neighbours! And do not think too much! Write down the first thing that comes to your mind! Lets do this quickly!
On a scale of 0-10, rate yourself on the following questions
1. How attractive you are?
2. How healthy and fit you are?
3. How happy you are?
4. How intelligent you are?
5. How confident you are?
6. How industrious/hardworking you are?
7. How self-disciplined you are?
8. How wealthy/prosperous you are?
9. How successful you are?
10. How lucky you are?
11. How courageous you are?
12. How honest you are?
13. How much love you receive from your family/friends?
14. How reliable you are?
15. How kind/generous you are?
Now keep the answer sheet aside. We will get back to that later.
Ok, so far good. You become what you think about the most! So you can attract whatever you want through your thoughts. Cool! You see a lot many people who are after what they want, but they won’t get it. They simply cannot ATTRACT what they want.
Because, you will NOT attract what you WANT! So does that mean LOA fails sometimes? Law of attraction does not fail. It never does. You fail! You will not attract WHAT you want. You only attract WHO you ARE. Does that makes sense? Not I guess! I know you are a bit confused now. I am going to clear all of this confusion in a while.
But first, answer me this question!
WHO ARE YOU? WHO ARE YOU? You are not your name. You are not your game. You are not your job. You are not your bank balance. You are not your social status. You are not your role. Also you are also not what you think causally, you are what you believe in. You are what you believe about yourself. You are the stories that you tell yourself.
Now please take that answer sheet out. That paper, you are now holding in your hands tells a bit about you. That is what you think about yourself. That is how you see yourself. That is your self-image. Of course, I am not saying that you are that paper totally.
Now lets see the example of a hypothetical guy.
He feels very shy around women. He cannot communicate with them freely. However, he wants to talk to them casually. When I gave him the same test, he gave himself a very low score of 2 on the attraction scale. He considers himself physically unattractive. He looks OK actually. Do you think this guy could go to women and talk with them confidently? No, he cannot actually. Not that he is unattractive, but because he THINKS and BELIEVES he is unattractive. See, this is not a physical issue at all. This is a very MENTAL issue. That was me some years ago. Now I believe in completely different things 😉
In order to understand this better, you need to know the concepts of Conscious and Subconscious minds. I am sure you are aware of those. Nevertheless, lets again revisit what we already know.
The tip of the iceberg is the conscious mind. And that which is shown submerged below the water surface is your unconscious or subconscious mind. Our conscious mind is is only about 10% of our mind. And 90% of your mind is the subconcious mind.
People want to become rich. However, they do not believe they can get rich. In stead they believe in the following things (Look at the following illustration)
Ok, let me ask you this question! Is money the root cause of all the problems? I think lack of money is the cause of the problems. He is not committing that theft for 10 rupees. He commits that theft because he does not have that 10 rupees.
I hear the same kind of reasoning about politics from people all the time. People say that politics is dirty, politicians are greedy. It is not that politicians are greedy, the greedy and the heinous are becoming the politicians and it is because good people like you and me are refraining from politics. Politics is attracting dishonest people in India. Period! And what honest people are actually attracting? They are attracting the greedy, uneducated politicians by voting for them every 5 years. So I believe good and nice people like you and me are actually ruining this country 😉
Ayway, what is the solution to this person’s problem?
He wants to get rich. But he is holding beliefs that are contradicting his wishes. All his actions are in consistent with his beliefs. He is attracting Who he is and not what he wants. This is not just this person’s problem alone. Many of us are having this problem. We want something. But our subconscious minds are programmed in contradiction to our wants. We think there is something wrong with our actions and effortsm but it is our very own attitude that is sabatoging the deserved success.
The Power of Reprogramming the Mind
THE POWER OF CREATIVE VISUALIZATION
Begin with the end in the mind. A little thought experiment!
Imagine that you set out to drive to Hyderabad in a car alone. You do not know the road route. You do not have the road map with you or GPS fixed in your car. How would you make that journey? You ask people for directions and guidance.
More imporantly you fragment your total journey into parts, right?
Goals are like magnets, they’ll attract the things that make them come true-Tony Robbins.
He is one of the greatest leaders that the world has ever produced. Gandhi wanted a free and independent India. In the beginning, he did not really know how to get it. He did not even have a clue about what to do. Yet, he still believed in his vision of a free and independent India.
Story of Swami Vivekananda!
That is why they are called visionaries. They know what they want.
They see it in their minds clearly.
That IMAGE that you hold strongly in your mind, brings into action all the necessary opportunities and conditions for itself manifest into reality. That is the power of visualization. Begin with the END in the mind. If you can see it in your mind, you can be it!
We all know that leaders lead us. But what leads the leaders? Their vision. Their vision, their goal, their ambition leads them. That is why they are called visionaries. They see what others could not concieve. They believe in things that others do not even think about!
LAW OF THINKING BIG
Aiming low is a crime. Always aim high-APJ Abdul Kalam
This is one area where the successful people does it differently than the rest.
They have big dreams. They have high aims.
You dreams should be so big that it initially both scare you and excite you!
The same story with the people who have severe addictions. They know smoking is injurious to health. They are aware that it is going to give them cancer. They know for sure that it is spoiling their lungs. They can very well see that tobacco has given them black lips. They understand that smoking kills. They even think about getting rid of that habit. They cannot however. Why?
They hold contradictory beliefs at the same time.
‘’I just cannot quit smoking. I tried it several times. I simply cannot’’
‘’Smoking is an addiction. People just cannot get out of that. It is impossible’’
‘’Tobacco activates me. And I just cannot handle all this stress without it’’
‘’May be it is OK smoking, people are doing it all the time!’’
‘’I can quit whenever I want to, not now of course. This is not the right time. I will know when the appropriate time arrives’’
SOME EXERCISES FOR YOU
Exercise#1 (POWER of THOUGHT)
Think of everything as a thought. You see a car on the road, and say to yourself this was once just a powerfully conceived thought. You see a man on the road, examines the way he has dressed, the way he is walking or the way he is talking and say to yourself, ‘that is what he thinks of himself! DO NOT JUDGE anyone! Do not feel superior or any inferior to anyone. Try to understand that everything is just a thought! Humans are a collection of thoughts! If someone says to you, ‘Sachin is the greatest batsman in the world’, you should start thinking, ‘Ok that just is your thought and belief!’ Some miserable friend of yours complains, ‘life is boring and it sucks!’. You know what you would say to yourself, ‘that just is your thinking and therefore your reality!’ Likewise…You need to see this world as a collection of thoughts and beliefs. This is your exercise #1!
Exercise#2 (Using LAW of ATTRACTION)
Using Law of attraction and the power of your thought, you have to attract the COLOR RED for a WEEK. For one complete week commit yourself to attracting RED through your thoughts! Notice everything that is red. Look for red. Red cars, red bikes, red banners, red valentine hearts, red people (may be you also find red people), apples, tomatoes, chillies, red traffic signals……You will notice the more you attract RED through your thoughts, the more RED you see in this world. Everytime you see RED, know that it is you who are attracting it using Law of Attraction!
Exercise#3 (SHARING THE SECRET-LAW of ATTRACTION)
Talk about the LAW of ATTRACTION with your friends and family. The more you talk about it, the more you begin to understand it clearly and thoroughly and the more you begin to apply it consciously.
