Let’s practice delayed Gratification and Discipline

Our natural tendency is to spend everything we earn plus a little bit more. Our mind set of doing what is fun, and enjoyable is the primary cause of personal failure in our life. We are to spend everything we earn and many of us say that changing our career would do better for a while but did you know? that one of the secrets of successful people is the ability to see things from a long term perspective. So let’s get rid of extra expenses that are holding us back because it may be important for us to surround ourselves with a team of experts such as a reliable accountant, motivation coach, and a financial planner. Just know that, successful people often make themselves do things that others don’t want to do. On the other hand, disciplining ourselves to do what we know is important, although difficult is the personal satisfaction.

Every sacrifice that we make today will be rewarded with compound interest in the future.

I wish you good luck and thanks for your precious time

Experience the true happiness

Are you looking for happiness? Well, the reality is if you are looking for happiness out there you will never find it because happiness doesn’t come without, it's here within you. If you ask anyone to describe the feeling as happiness, I believe he or she will says that is a feeling of pleasure. There is a connection between these kinds of feelings. Pleasure is more dependent on the five senses while happiness is independent of them.

Pleasure is a good feeling that comes from eating good food, enjoying a party etc. Pleasure has to do with enjoyment though the five senses. For an example, a person may smokes cigarettes because it gives him pleasure, yet, this doesn’t make him happier, especially if he acknowledges the fact that it is not good for his health.

Every one of us has our own definition of ‘happiness’. Happiness for a beggar may mean a lot of money. Happiness for a business man may mean success. So, how do we become happy? Well, you don’t have to have the best things in this world to just to be happy. It’s all about doing and making the best out of every single thing. When you find yourself smiling at your own mistake, tell yourself that, Oh, I will do better next time. You possess a willingness to stand up again and try- that will make you feel a happy person.

Life does not have to be perfect for you to be a happy and the key to happiness is already within yourself. You don’t need to wait for happiness to come, if you can convince yourself to stay relaxed and calm in every situation, and activities such as learning to concentrate and control the mind, developing your self discipline, and residing spiritual literature, you will experience the true happiness in your life because those are the gate.

Now, it is up to you to decide and it is your own decision to choose to be happy.

I wish you good luck with your happiness and thank you for reading

A Successful Relationship . . .

A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eyes. When the boy was around two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle open. He was late for work so he asked his wife to cap the bottle and keep it in the cupboard. His wife, preoccupied in the kitchen totally forgot the matter. The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the bottle and fascinated by its color, drank it all. It happened to be a poisonous medicine meant for adults in small dosages. When the child collapsed the mother hurried him to the hospital, where he died. The mother was stunned. She was terrified how to face her husband. When the distraught father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at his wife and uttered just four words..

QUESTIONS:

1. What were the four words?

2. What is the implication of this story?

read..
ANSWER:

The husband just said "I Love You Darling" The husband's totally unexpected reaction is proactive behavior. The child is dead. He can never be brought back to life. There is no point in findingfault with the mother. Besides, if only he had taken time to keep the bottle away, this would not happen.

No one to be blamed. She had lost her only child. What she needed at that moment was consolation and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her. If everyone can look at life with this kind of perspective, there would be much fewer problems in the world. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiving attitude, selfishness, and fears. And you will find things are actually not as difficult as you think.

"A successful relationship requires falling in love many times with the same person . . . "

Positive Thinking

Positive thinking is a mental attitude that admits into our mind and thoughts. All of our feelings and beliefs are based on our internal thoughts that both our conscious mind and subconscious mind. It is a mental attitude that expects good results. We are in control, whether we know it or not. A positive mind anticipates happiness, health and a successful outcome of every situation and action. You become what you think of most of your time and whatever your mind expects, it finds.

It is quite common when we find someone who feels down, we say “think Positive” and most people don’t take these words seriously, as they don’t know what they really mean. Positive thinking brings us inner peace, better health, and happiness with satisfaction. It also helps the daily affairs of life move more smoothly and makes our life brighter.

People around you pick your mental moods and are affected accordingly. Think about happiness, good health and success life. Then you will cause people to like you and desire to help you, because they enjoy the vibrations that your positive mind emits.

In order to make positive thinking yield results, you need to develop a positive attitude toward life, expect a successful outcome of whatever you do, but also take any necessary actions to ensure your success.

Telling yourself that everything is going to be all right. It has to be your predominant mental attitude. It is not enough to think positively for a few moments, and then letting fears and lack of belief enter your mind.

Think positive and expect only favorable results and situations, even if your current circumstances are not as you wish them to be. In time, your mental attitude will affect your life and circumstances and change them accordingly.

Are you willing to change the way you think?

Here are a few actions and tips to help you develop the power of positive thinking
  • Always use only positive words while thinking and while talking. Use words such as, 'I can', 'I am able', 'it is possible', 'it can be done', etc.
  • Before starting with any plan or action, visualize clearly in your mind its successful outcome. If you visualize with concentration and faith, you will be amazed at the results.
  • Read at least one page of inspiring book every day.
  • Associate yourself with people who think positively.
Prove to yourself the reality the power of positive thinking.

I thank you for your time and wish you Good Luck

Be Confident

Have you ever thought about to be confident? Well, I read a proverb somewhere says that, “For a man of confidence all roads lead to success” first of all it’s very good to make a list of special talents that you have for an example: Focusing on your attributes helps distract you from those parts of yourself that you think are flawed. It doesn't have to be a specific skill or activity either; it can be an approach or an attitude that you champion through out your life.

The next thing is that we have to take action. Taking a simple step of action can be very powerful that will bring such a surprise. It could be something as simple as tackling a task that you have been procrastinating, such as writing a letter to your friend that has been out of control for the last several months. Whether large or small, action brings with it exhilaration, enthusiasm, and the confidence.

Finally, you have to take care of yourself that eat a healthy diet and make sure that you get enough exercise. Don’t overload your body and don’t deny any of the things that your body needs. At the same time, you know what? Buying all the moisturizers and creems will never bring you closer to who really want to be, those are only make up. Confidence comes from within. Take the time to reflect on your life and do some emotional maintenance. In order to be confident, you must value yourself and understand that your well-being is important.

I wish you good luck with your self confidence

Thank you for your precious time.

Love what you do

It doesn’t matter what you do, if you love what you do, you will never feel like working, it energizes you. to do something well, you have to like it. That idea is not exactly novel. We have got it down to four words: “Do What You Love" Whether you want to earn a degree program or start a business. You must start with a burning desire. There will be roadblocks along the way. Without feeling of purpose, it’s easy to become overwhelmed, lose focus and give up entirely.


Often people are close to finding their dream, they simply need to “fine tune” it. And then channel your passion.


Good Luck

Why never have any spire times?

The question is often asked why we never have any spare time in the modern life.

Well it is our poor choice management that much has been written about proper time management, but sometimes the advice focuses merely on making more efficient use of time. Get up earlier, delegate everything. Such advice does not really effectively address the problem of too many tasks. In fact, too much emphasis on time management makes one obsessive, always watching the clock and thinking about what task is scheduled next. So perhaps the nervousness over time management should give way to a more thoughtful care about choice management. Manage your life, not your time. Modern society suffers from an unwillingness to say, "No." Faced with too many options and too much pressure, we respond with too many YESES. We are afraid to deny to others or to ourselves the many opportunities, the many options, we face daily. But everything we choose requires Use Time.

There is an old proverb somewhere that says, "To accomplish more, do less." Success doesn’t require hard work, success requests smart work. Plan your day and enjoy accomplishing them.

Good Luck and Thank you for reading

How to realize your Potential?

Every one of us has our own incredible capacity to accomplish our wildest dreams! Did you know? That, within you is the power to accomplish anything you want in your life but it will never happen if you are not tuned into your true desires.

For an example if you want to be succeeding in business, you may not be another mega-millionaire, but you will succeed in your endeavors. Set goals that you can achieve. Divide them into little tidbits that you can accomplish every day, every month, or every year. Set your goals for success.

Start immediately to accomplish the goals you have set. In fact, give yourself a task that you can finish by tomorrow. Think of yourself as a success in your endeavors. Live and breathe them until you have them.

Can you see yourself a year from now, having achieved a few goals?

Can you make the decision and commitment to become successful in your desires?

If you answer yes then you have the potential to accomplish anything you want.

People fail because they immediately fasten their attention to the negative. Change your thinking and work the part of your plan you can, do everything you can! Always appreciate everything, even if you feel like something could be negative. Understand that there is no right or wrong way to do something. Be thankful for your mistakes, and let them go!

Because, there are no mistakes only opportunities to learn

Enjoy the moment, live your moment and forget the future or your past…

Thank you for your precious time

The Nice One....

A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert During some point of the Journey they had an Argument, and one friend Slapped the other one In the face.

The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand:
''TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE"
They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath.
The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him. After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone:
"TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE"

The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, "After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write on a stone, why?"

The other friend replied "When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it."
LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND AND TO CARVE YOUR BENEFITS IN STONE.
They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them.

Do not value the THINGS you have in your life. But value WHO you have in your life! Life's short. If you don't look around once in a while ,you might miss it.

What do you want in life?

Wouldn't it be great to have a real life that made all our wishes come true? Well, forget it. That's not going to happen in this lifetime. Opportunity must be created - not wished for. If you wait around for things to happen, don’t wait for life to happen. Get out there and be what happens to life!

If you have no plan for your life, you have planned to fail. In other words, by doing nothing, we get nothing. We are the architect of our life. An easily established plan of action we can refer to that will help us get what we want in life.

So what is your plan?

What do you really want out of your life?

And what steps will you take to achieve them?

Now, get a pen and a blank sheet of paper, write something you want in life, and write five steps you will take to accomplish your desires. Keep the list with you and concentrate on it every day. Visualize yourself already having these goals. Devote time to working on your list, accomplishing your wants and they will happen for you. But you must participate in the effort to get them and not just wait around for them to happen. Keep a smaller version of your list with you at all times and refer to it as often as you can.
.
So, working with your goal list every day, whatever it takes, what else can you do? Keep your goals and desires in the forefront of your mind and do whatever it takes to make them become realities.
.
I wish you good luck with all your desires in life

The key to success

The key to success is preparation. Do you know what does it mean to be prepared?

Preparation extended beyond having a pencil and paper, but meant that you must have a plan and more importantly be committed to that plan. But most of us do not have a plan. Unfortunately, more value is placed in the everyday written grocery list, than a personal success action plan.

Preparation means that you must also have the necessary attitudes supported by those underlying beliefs if you truly wish to master success. Do you think something like: "Oh, no, I need to sit down and work on this or that?" If you thought positively about the planning time such as "Great, I can see how I can get this done faster and better than the last time," would the outcome be different?

If we could get everything we needed out of a book? It seems that books have become the magic pill for success. Read this and master success. Oh, if life was only that easy. Yet supporting most of these success strategies is something related to preparation. Whether it is goal setting, time management, decision making or any of those other self leadership skills, preparation is one of the most essential keys to success.

So, if you want to unlock the door to success, using the preparation as the key to success, then take the time to determine the following:

· Do you have a written plan for life success?
· Do you have the right attitudes?
· Do you have the right professional development and training?
· Do you have the clarity of purpose and vision?

If you desire success, that means you must answer “Yes” to all of those questions.

Thank you for reading and I wish you every success in life.

Apologizing .....


Apologizing doesn't mean that you are wrong & the other is right..

It means that you value the relationship more than your ego…

Why we can’t have what we want in life?

Why is it some people who seem to be less deserving than we have it all? Abundance, friends, and relationships keep coming their way while we keep struggling to make ends meet. You know we deserve their abundance, but it seems unattainable. We're smart, educated, deserving, and we work hard-what is it they know that we do not?

As simple and unrealistic as it may seem-the one and only reason they have it is because they know they can. And they know they can have more anytime they wish. It is this thought separating them from us. Whether they were born into it, or worked for it-they all have the same knowingness-they can have it and more. This knowingness is why only five percent of the population controls 95% of the world's riches. Although the only difference in having and not having is within the knowledge we can have it-there are good reasons we will be able to come up with that will support our belief

1. We don't know what we really want in life.
2. Its too difficult to focus on our desire
3. We want to control the process.
4. We believe we do not have the power to change our circumstances.
5. We just cannot have anything we want in life.

Our parents and others were telling us, we were taught these destructive beliefs. The first step to making it happen is in accepting we can do it-and it's all we really have to do. In all you can imagine or dream of, simply know we already have it, even if we have to lie to ourselves for a period of time. What should picture it, focus on what it is we wish to experience and we will bring it into our experience-we will have it as our own. We will always get what we truly desire-desire is the key word. we can never have what we want, but we always get what we desire.

I wish you good luck...

Thank you for reading

On Friendship






Kahlil Gibran










Your friend is your needs answered.


He is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving.


And he is your board and your fireside.


For you come to him with your hunger, and you seek him for peace.


When your friend speaks his mind you fear not the "no" in your own mind, nor do you withhold the "yes."


And when he is silent your heart ceases not to listen to his heart;For without words, in friendship, all thoughts, all desires, all expectations are born and shared,


with joy that is unacclaimed.


When you part from your friend, you grieve not;


For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence,


as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.


And let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.


For love that seeks aught but the disclosure of its own mystery


is not love but a net cast forth:


and only the unprofitable is caught.


And let your best be for your friend.


If he must know the ebb of your tide,


let him know its flood also.


For what is your friend that you should seek him with hours to kill?


Seek him always with hours to live.


For it is his to fill your need, but not your emptiness.


And in the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures.For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.

Dream...


Better to have spent a life

reaching for a dream that never came true,

than to have slept through a life that never had a dream

It's not easy ...


" Sometimes it's not easy to apologize,
to begin over,
to admit error,
to take advice,
to be unselfish,
to keep on trying,
to be honest,
to profit by mistakes,
to forgive and forget,
to think and then to act,
to shoulder a deserved blame -


but it always pays


ThOuGhT FoR tHE dAy

When you have to put up with mean people
,Think of them as sandpaper।

They may scratch you,

Rub you the wrong way

But eventually…

YOU end up smooth &polished

And the sandpaper…?

It’ll be worn out & ugly!

Makes you think, doesn’t it?Never lose sight of who You Are,
You Are the Best thing God ever Created,

Embrace the gift”

Let’s Overcome Procrastination.

It’s my first time I would like to post an article here, one of my friends call Saboor was invited me to post my articles last night, I just thought to do it tomorrow if I procrastinate it tomorrow then It will never happen so that I chosen to write a little about procrastinate.


Research shows it’s usually the “harder” tasks that we don’t want to do that are imperative in helping us achieve our goals. You know why we procrastinate? Before we can solve our problem of procrastination we must understand why we do it. there are a few basic reasons I hope we all must know.
  • Feeling overwhelmed with a situation.
  • Afraid of failing.
  • Too “Busy” to get the really important things done.
  • Can’t make a decision.
  • Overworked, tired.
  • Want to avoid work you don’t like.
Each of these can be reduced down to the pleasure/pain principle which says that we do things to gain pleasure and to avoid pain.


What follows is a method to overcome procrastination on the things that matter for us.


01. Get help making decisions. Decisions are tough for me. I like to use the pro/con method and assign points. I also recommend getting help from a friend that you know is good with making decisions. Once you’ve made your decision then break it down into tasks and schedule into your calendar.

02. Get clear about what you want in life. Procrastinators, you’ll love this! Take 20-30 minutes to do this quick goal planning exercise. Write down. Once you have your list, and then do this by asking yourself, “Can I live without this?” Let your less important goals lie dormant on a “maybe” list that you can check on again in a few months.

03. Plan your day each day. This is not a big task. It should only take about 10-15 minutes of quiet time. Do the most difficult and most important things first and work your way down to the easier stuff in the afternoon. You’ll feel really good if you do this.

04. Plan your week just enough to loosely schedule in some of the big things you know you want to get done. Sometimes procrastination happens simply because a task is not scheduled.

05. Just do it, but don’t over do it. We often put pressure on ourselves to do certain tasks more often than we really need to, so give yourself a break and set a schedule for these things that is not overwhelming. Do thing on a “Need to do” basis.



Recap:
  • Know your most important goals and values.
  • Only do tasks that contribute to those goals and values.
  • Plan your day & week.
  • Do, but don’t overdo. Rest when needed.
  • Break down big tasks.
  • Get help making decisions.
  • Believe in yourself

Thank you for your precious time

Good luck with all of your goals

Mohammed AI.
