Let’s Learn to Listen

People often speak of opening the third eye but our true step in deepening our understanding is to open our third ear!

What this means is to tune the self to understand what is really said to me. I need to step back from myself in order to listen to myself.

Listening is creating that respectful space between myself and the other, which facilitates a real understanding of what the other is trying to say to me.

Listening through the “third ear” creates an attentive calm and openness that focuses the mind so that reality can be grasped. Such an attentive awareness enables the mind to create concentrated and pure thoughts.

Only pure thought can grasp reality.

As the world becomes more complex and with more problems, listening is the first step in order to communicate and harmonise with everyone. It is a method that enables me to understand the reality of others in order to live better with them.

Listening to myself, to God, to others and to Nature enables the self to harmonise and to enjoy a sense of equilibrium.

Thoughts….

Four types of thoughts

Human beings have four types of thoughts.

First, there are negative thoughts. When there are negative thoughts you cannot tolerate others. Negative thoughts are like poison. They finish the cleanliness and beauty of the soul completely.

Then, there are weak thoughts. Weak thoughts don’t allow courageous thoughts to emerge or to stay in the mind.

Thirdly, there are waste thoughts. These are thoughts of others and the type of thoughts that are really not necessary to have. When waste thoughts finish, we will be left only with what is powerful.

Fourthly there are positive thoughts. It is by creating positive thoughts that the soul becomes honest and stops having any more ordinary thoughts.

I need to check myself and see what type of thoughts I am having. I should make sure my thoughts do not go into the wrong direction.

Only then we can become a powerfull creator!

 

BE QUITET!

Be Quiet …

Have you ever wondered why libraries have special atmospheres?

They are places where many congregate but where silence is the code.

Quietness in an atmosphere means there is the presence of quiet minds, and quiet minds are not only relaxed,  they can concentrate easily and create more freely.

Imagine you are in the library of your mind,

browsing the accumulated wisdom on the shelves of your life –

listen to the silence, be aware of the stillness.

Now you can really hear.

Now you can really listen.

Now you can really think.

  Now you can create.

And behold, you are an artist.

Did you not know that silence and creativity are best friends?

LET’S TALK ABOUT SUCCESS #6#

 

Fall And Fall Again

A wise man once said, “Failures are merely stepping stones to success.”

Success and failure go hand in hand. Just like you would only understand the true meaning of joy after going through sorrow, the true taste of success only happens after you have experienced failure.

Imagine that your parents were millionaires and they gave you with a huge sum of money that made you a millionaire too, would you consider yourself to be successful?

The true measure of your success is not by calculating how many income you earn, but rather through your failures and how you pick yourself up after that. Falling down is inevitable when walking down the path of success.

What makes a successful person is his unrelenting desire to reach his goal and pick himself up again each and every time he falls. He learns from his mistakes and emerges a stronger person.

Of course, this is not telling you to purposely go and make mistakes but rather, to not be afraid of failures. If it happens, it happened for a reason. So find out that reason and learn from that experience. As someone once said, ‘A man’s errors are his portals of discovery’. See this as an opportunity to expand your horizons. Dare to take risks for there is no such thing as a successful coward.

Evidently, there will be times when you will feel all alone and everything feels like a heavy burden to carry. You think that you have reached rock bottom and may even start to feel that somehow, your goals do not seem that worth it after all. It is times like these that really reinforce the importance of step 4; to keep on visualizing your dreams and keeping your desires strong.

Another way of coping with your failures is to seek for assistance.

Do not be too stubborn to ask for help, it is not a shameful thing to do. Arrogance can lead downfall. Many a times, we fail because we depend on ourselves too much. But it is always possible to take someone’s hand to assist us in getting up. We may be blinded by our own faults that sometimes, only an outsider can point out to us. Lastly, success requires patience. It is not something that is attainable overnight. Some may bump into many failures, but all these lead to only one triumphant success. Perseverance is essential in lasting a long time.

Keep your desires and dreams burning on till the day you have changed it to reality.

So fall, and fall again. We are not ‘Humpty Dumpties’ where we will shatter into pieces, broken beyond repair when we fall down the wall. We are human beings that are capable of handling heartaches and failures. And each time instead of breaking apart, we bear the scars of our fall, mended but not forgotten, moving on to become a more resilient person.

Conclusion

As you can see, success is attainable for anyone!

Just by following these 4 simple steps, I can guarantee that you will be one step closer to reaching your goals.

Remember to continuously look at your Reality List and start cancelling out the dreams that have become a reality.

Start turning your life around and become the successful person you had always wanted to be!

So take out that a blank piece of paper now and start scribbling down all the points that I have mentioned earlier.

Remember, how real your dreams will become will only depend on how serious you are in attaining your goals.

So stop dreaming, and take the first step to changing your life, right now.

#4—Visualization

After you have started to make changes in your life, the important part is to have momentum, to keep on moving forward. You have to constantly motivate yourself to not give up and keep the ball rolling no matter how tough it is. This last step cannot be taught in the manner of the previous 3 steps as it is a matter of how strong your desires are in achieving your goal.

This report cannot teach you what or who to believe in, as ultimately it is you who decides what is worth striving hard for. But, instead, this can instruct you how to keep your desires, whatever they may be, burning stronger and stronger each day.

And visualization is the key.

Spend 5 to 10 minutes each morning when you wake up, and every night before you sleep, to look back at your Reality List. Read them aloud and with conviction. Change all the sentences that start with ‘I want to be…’ to ‘I will be…’ and firmly believe that you WILL become whoever you choose to be.

Before going to bed, imagine yourself living the lifestyle that you have always wanted. Paint that picture as vivid as possible and constantly fuel yourself with the energy to work harder than the day before to achieve your dream. Successful people all have one thing in common, and that is the strong and everlasting desire to attain what they want. Only you can fire up and keep your desires burning, and only you can easily put them out and throw it to one corner.

Another good way of imagining that you have already accomplished your goals is to actually feel what it is like doing so. For example, if you always wanted to own a car, go for a test drive today! Feel the interior design of your dream car and take it out for a spin. After the test drive, you will feel more motivated than ever to keep working towards your goals. Keep on sowing these seeds of positive thoughts to your mind everyday. They will be the fuel that keeps your desires burning on.
