Excellence is your birthright, claim it !!!

Excellence is your birthright, claim it !!!

Too many people get to valley of low self-esteem when they fail.
Too many people play their game of comfort zones due to fear of failure.
People are too busy to understand different dimensions of beautiful life and go on steroids of achievement, creating wealth not even listening to life's song, looking at their inner world; too busy to enjoy the smile of the child, cool breeze, creepers in garden, singing birds.
People are too emotional even to understand the fact that there are no such things as success and failure unless we create.

Be it exams, interview, setting up business, developing teams, building organisations, if you achieve your goal, you call it SUCCESS, if you don't, you call it FAILURE. From an empowering level of understanding, your "success" and "failure" are just the names that you give to your RESULTS. If your efforts are in line with your goals, you can produce the results you want. So don't worry too much about results you get by naming SUCCESS or FAILURE. Operate a level beyond success and failure, that is EXCELLENCE. When you operate at level of excellence, if you don't get results you want, you just understand and change the efforts to achieve next time.

Do a small exercise breath in once deeply, inhale....its success, exhale...breath out slowly...its failure, again inhale....exhale....inhale again...exhale.....fine. Now again, you want more success try inhale ....inhale....inhale....aaahhhhh. Even though, inhaling is important, it's hard to breath in consistently, in fact we should not. In similar way, success and failure; light and darkness, day and night all these are not two different things they are mutually appreciating wonderful symphony and one element. So operate a level of symphony in your life instead of expecting only success, only positive. Get your mind and body become the best when you face challenges, get your thinking elaborate when you challenged by a task, get your productivity improve when there are more hurdles. In this way you can introduce the best of you. Diamonds are formed under heightened pressure. Remember to the best friends who can teach everything that is needed for life excellence. "Those who can take intelligent action progressively with more  balance and joy when they meet great friends, become the leaders of their life. Those great friends are failure, challenge, criticism, frustration, and depression. When you also meet these friends, to TAKE INTELLIGENT ACTION PROGRESSIVELY WITH MORE BALANCE AND JOY.

Look at history, Mahathma Gandhi was thrown out of train, he took a progressive and balanced action gracefully to bring independence to India without violence. People laughed at Mother Theresa, she decided to love those sick and orphans with most humble and celebrating way. One women suffered marital life, didn't have money to bring up her child, sat in coffee shop to write her piece for children, created a history to serve all children around the world through Harry Potter series. Hats off to J. K. Rowling.

"Excellence is your birth right, claim it !" You and me , whoever are able to breath, are able to achieve excellence. Take up your most important goals for next one year. Write them down in your journal/ personal note book. Prioritize the four most important goals. Be focus on getting results you want, instead of being pseudo-busy. Imagine as if you achieved your goals daily for 15 minutes, read them loudly 10 times in the morning. Act on your goals with grace, meet people who already achieved same goals, meet your role models in that field, try to spend time mostly with those who are in the same profession in a healthy competition, take a training class, get a life coach, attend a training to get inspired and to be on track in professional way. Mostly enjoy every minute of your existence. Let me know your success story, we share in our blog.

Find your passion, live in excellence !!!

How to enjoy exams?


How to enjoy exams?

Dear Friends,
This is the time for exams, be it board exams, university exams or competitive exams, many students and candidates are appearing for exams this month and coming months. Some job seekers are going for interviews also. In this important moments of one’s life, how to operate from the best of one’s being.

Believe in your power:
Whatever the target you have be it exam or interview, first understand that many people have also achieved excellence in that area, you have same kind of body and brain, so good news is that you can also achieve. So believe in your power. There are 3% of the people in this world influence rest 97% how their life should be, how the whole world need to operate. You have the same kind of hardware in your body at your disposal to achieve excellence as 3% influencing people achieved.

Feed positive affirmations:
Get yourself use the positive affirmations in yourself talk which will have positive impact and eliminate unnecessary fears.

  • I prepare for exams/ interview based on the priority and need
  • I put all my efforts and show up my internal power and focus on my studies
  • I get desired results in my exams
  • I get the __(best) rank in the entrance exam
  • I achieve seat in to 10 colleges
  • I get through interview and get a job in to 20 MNC
Imagination is power:
Whatever happens in this world happens twice. First in human mind (inner world), next in real world. Sachin Tendulkar does imagination of his next game before he actually play. There are number of eminent persons who imagine the results that produce well before it actually manifests. This imagination becomes a reality as it feeds your sub-conscious mind. So imagine what your greatest result of your exam/ interview.

Imagination Exercise:
  1. Sit in calm, comfortable place where you will not be disturbed for next 30 minutes. Close your eyes, take deep breaths and release slowly. Do this for 10 times to calm your mind.
  2. Imagine that you are preparing for exam/ interview. Imagine that you are preparing with lot of confidence and seeking clarity from teachers, friends, attending classes all that involved in your preparation.
  3. Imagine the day of your exam/interview as if you are being assisted and wishes by your friends, family members and teachers. Listen what they are saying, feel the confidence, see the pictures. Imagine that you are going with lot of confidence as  you prepared so well.
  4. Imagine as if you are walking to exam hall with a wonderful smile on your face, joyfully writing the exams, taking additional sheets, completing it so well with great feeling of achievement. Feel the place provides you great energy from the confidence that took exam well.
  5. Imagine that as if you got results and you are thrilled with excellent results that you achieved. Imagine that you shared your successful news with all parents, family members and friends. Listen to their wishes, feel that greatest happy feeling, see them celebrating your success, see how you look, how you breath, what you talk yourself when you achieved it now. Brighten that image, add wonderful music to that experience.
  6. Do this exercise twice in a day, psychologically it helps you to be focused in your studies and condition your mind for greatest results. You can get same feeling whenever you do this small imagination exercise. Count from 5 to 1 and try to open your eyes.

Remember…
§  Use positive affirmations. Avoid talking yourself “I don’t know whether I pass or not”. “I don’t know what rank I get”.  This kind of thinking does not give clear signal to the brain. Ask “How should I  prepare to get rank below 20”, “What is the best way to achieve 90% in my exams”
§   Take care of your health. Sound mind lies in sound body. So eat simple, energetic and easily digestible food. Drink more water. Do physical exercise, breathing exercises, meditation and rest well.
§  Think the best possible efforts that you can make at this moment. Don’t start new chapters. Just be confident and go ahead with preparation.
§  Take exams are not your evils, use exams as an opportunity to show your best. Use exams as a flat form to express your inner strengths.
§  Whatever the result, your result is not FINAL RESULT. Your result is the result of your ONE EFFORT. So develop positive and progressive attitude of taking action and accepting results as they are.
§  Think “How can I show wonderful performance in my career graph through my exams?” and act at the level of possibility.

Have a wonderful days ahead….share your experiences of excellence with us.

Cheers
