Success Tips

I always wanted to be really successful; finding out what God wants me to do with my life and then dedicating myself to achieving it.

I know it’s going to be hard, thinking about that idea. Human as we are, we all share certain wants and needs such as food, water, shelter, safety, love, respect and self-esteem. We all share a built in feeling to move away from undesirable and go toward pleasure.

I gradually came to understand my inner desires, but should make sure that God and my purpose matches. So right now, I am starting to think that my life serves a different purpose. It is time to reach my dreams and what I really want in life that blends with what God wants. By finding this meaning in my life will serve as a unique purpose in my life and will be living my life to the fullest.

Let me share to you guys about the laws of success I read online. I am grateful I was able to read this, so I want to share it too.

1. Commitment

We need to be committed of our dreams. It means we need to visualize what we really want and follow it with actions. It requires actions that are the same with our desires in order to make them into reality, but the very first thing to do is to dream, dream, dream.

2. Open-mindedness

People, events, and circumstance will be drawn to you that will actually assist you in the achievement of your dreams. Things will suddenly come to place, in perfect coordination with what you desire.

When you just carry your dreams within you, you will really feel and touch the hearts and minds of the people around you, and it is really a nice experience when you know you are on your way to your goal.

3. Persistence

This is like the vehicle you’re going to ride towards your goal. Persistence is what drives us to take every steps of the way. It is what prevents us from getting discouraged despite of the oppositions.

Translating your dreams into actions, and taking actions everyday, will really get you there in the end. No matter how big our dreams are, we can get to our final destination as long as we keep it in mind and continually taking actions that will move to that goal.

When you meet an obstacle, it is persistence that determines if we are giving up or not. It what gets us back on our feet, dusted down and ready to go again.

4. Flexibility

Observe what exactly is working in our lives and what isn’t. Change your approaches in some ways.

“If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got.” From a wiser person.. hahaha..  If we continually do what we are doing, we shouldn’t be surprised when we don’t see any increase or change in results. We shall reap a harvest. So right now, just plant, plant, plant and plant. J

If you really want success in whatever area in your life, you can actually get it. Just be prepared to work for it--- to do anything, whatever it takes. JUST BE FLEXIBLE.

5. Faith

Believing the unseen.. without doubting.. if we doubt, it’s another way of saying you can’t reach your goals, it’s undoable. I believe I can make a difference in this life. I am going to achieve what I have set to accomplish. All I need is to BELIEVE.

6. Gratitude

Just be grateful/thankful in whatever circumstance you may be in, whether it may be undesirable.. Just be thankful… Counting your blessings makes you really feel good of what you have. You may feel abundance. Just be thankful.

7. Passion

To find passion is to identify your own unique purpose in life; to live your passion is to achieve the deepest desire of your heart.

You can achieve whatever you want. Just make sure your ladder is leaning at the right wall. Haha. 

Inner Peace of Mind

I got this somewhere in istorya.net... I was just bored and reading some stuffs.. I like this one.. It helps

1. Do not interfere in others' business
Most of us create our own problems by interfering too often in others' affairs. We do so because somehow we have convinced ourselves that our way is the best way, our logic is the perfect logic, and those who do not conform to our thinking must be criticized and steered to the right direction, our direction. This kind of attitude on our part denies the existence of individuality and consequently the existence of God, for God has created each one of us in a unique way. No two human beings can think or act in exactly the same way. All men or women act the way they do because they are prompted to do so by the Divine within them. There is God to look after everything. Why are you bothered? Mind your own business and you will have your peace.

2. Forget and forgive
This is the most powerful aid to peace of mind. We often nurture ill feeling inside our heart for the person who insults or harms us. We forget that the insult or injury was done to us once but by nourishing the grievance we go on excavating the wound forever. Therefore it is essential that we cultivate the art of forgiving and forgetting. Believe in the justice of God and the doctrine of Karma. Let Him judge the act of the one who insulted you. Life is too short to waste in such trifles. Forget, forgive, and march on.


3. Do not crave for recognition
This world is full of selfish people. They seldom praise anybody without selfish motive. They may praise you today because you are rich and have power but no sooner you are powerless, they will forget your achievement and start criticizing you.
Moreover, no one is perfect. Then why do you value the words of praise of another mortal like you? Why do you crave for recognition? Believe in yourself. People's praises do not last long. Do your duties ethically and sincerely and leave the rest to God.

4. Do not be jealous
We all have experienced how jealousy can disturb our peace of mind. You know you work harder than your colleagues in the office but they get promotions, you do not. You started a business several years ago but you are not as successful as your neighbor whose business is only one year old. Should you be jealous? No, remember everybody's life is shaped by his previous Karma that has now become his destiny. If you are destined to be rich, not all the world can stop you. If you are not so destined, no one can help you either. Nothing will be gained by blaming others for your misfortune. Jealousy will not get you anywhere, but will only give you restlessness.

5. Change yourself according to the environment
If you try to change the environment single handedly, the chances are you may fail. Instead, change yourself to suit the environment. As you do this, even the environment, which has remained unfriendly for you, will mysteriously appear to be congenial and harmonious.

6. Endure what cannot be cured
This is the best way to turn a disadvantage into an advantage. Every day we face numerous inconveniences, ailments, irritations and accidents that are beyond our control. We must learn to endure them cheerfully thinking, "God will it so, so be it". God's logic is beyond our comprehension. Believe it and you will gain in patience, in inner strength, in will power.

7. Do not bite more than you can chew
This maxim should be always remembered. We often tend to take more responsibilities than we are capable to carry out. This is done to satisfy our ego. Know your limitations. Spend your free time on prayers, introspection and meditation. This will reduce those thoughts in your mind, which make you restless. Fewer the thoughts, greater is the peace of mind.

8. Meditate regularly
Meditation makes the mind thoughtless. This is the highest state of peace of mind. Try and experience it. If you meditate earnestly for half an hour every day, you will tend to become calm during the remaining twenty-three and a half hours. Your mind will not be disturbed as much as before. This will increase your efficiency and you will turn out more work in less time.

9. Never leave the mind vacant
An empty mind is devil's workshop. All evil deeds start in the mind. Keep your mind occupied in something positive, something worthwhile. Actively follow a hobby. You must decide what you value more - money or peace of mind. Your hobby, like social work may not always earn you more money, but you will have a sense of fulfillment and achievement. Even if you are resting physically, occupy yourself in healthy reading or mental chanting of God's name.


10. Do not procrastinate and never regret
Do not waste time in wondering "should I or shouldn't I?" Days, weeks, months and years may be wasted in that futile mental debating. You can never plan enough because you can never anticipate all future happenings. Always remember God has His own plan too. Value your time and do things. It does not matter if you fail the first time. You can rectify your mistakes and succeed the next time. Sitting back and worrying will lead to nothing. Learn from your mistakes but do not brood over the past. DO NOT REGRET! Whatever happened was destined to happen only that way. Take it as the will of God. You do not have the power to alter the course of God's will. Why cry?
