You or I or anybody can get as successful as he dreams to by doing a simple thing. And, that simple thing is meditation, or being fully present in the moment . Many people think that meditation is the practice of sitting quietly in a secluded corner, paying attention to your breathing and mentally scanning all the parts of your body. It means that you shut off yourself from all external stimuli and internal triggers so to cancel out all the bustle of this ever-speeding world. While this is true, many folks also are of the view that you can’t meditate while you’re Fixed in traffic Engaged in any mentally demanding tasks Having food or coffee However, pause and reflect… Isn’t meditation another name for being fully present in the moment – of pouring the purest of your attention on whatever you’re doing at that specific moment? If you’re having a juice, pay attention to its taste, colour, texture. How it touches your lips, how it slides down your throat, what se

Mark my word…Your productivity would shoot up and go off the ceiling. You know that life will become a lovely, thrilling dream then. But is it possible? Do humans with the same flesh and blood ever manage to do it? Yes and yes. Armies posted at high risk areas do it. The tiny minority of the best, who know how to make things happen and who are habitual of grabbing it – the achievers – do it. Unfortunately, the rest (the vast mediocrity) don’t do it, because they choose not to. And if we refuse to settle with the rest, we too can work with the best of our potential – operating with 100% energy every single second while we work. Remember, those army men, those successful entrepreneurs, those wildly prolific writers aren’t from Mars. Since we too have the same blood and bones and flesh, it clarifies that we too have the energy to work and perform with our 100% alertness each very second, but we have the lazy habit of slipping into restful lifestyle. Just think t

And the question without further delay– What if you get only 4 hours a day for working? Not a minute more. 4 hours mean 4 hours – working for a minute more is going to give you a heart attack. Sound foolish? But the truth is that throwing on yourself challenging questions and then letting your mind answer them brings you incredibly closer to success. As your mind kicks around in hammering out solutions, you uncover a cluster of mind-quickening tactics implementing which amazingly ramps up your progress. I habitually ask myself challenging questions. By the time I get their answers, I hit upon an eye-glittering treasure trove filled with gems that can speed up my progress manifold. Recently I asked myself: How am I going to work if I have only 4 hours a day to focus on my writing? The following solutions bubbled up to the surface. And though I primarily focus on ‘writing,’ you can replace it with ‘work’ or to whatever you want to fill the blank with. 1. Putting

Will it surprise you if I tell you that you already have everything you require to get successful? For a moment, it might even look ludicrous to you. But maybe, by the time you reach the end of this post, you might get convinced of your foolish, imaginary fears that are holding you back in the trenches you have forged for yourself. Maybe by the end of this post you’ll get convinced that you don’t need more talent, more skills, more connections, more of nothing which you’re presently hoping for… To your astonishment, you might instead uncover that what you need is to break your mental barriers, the ghosts and enemies for success that you have housed in your heart. Ready? Just bear with me for I’m going to be harsh and brutally honest with you. Your fears! 1. You fear hard work Admit it, you could be not working with your full potential because you fear hard work. This is the case with me. If I argue with myself honestly, I’ll know that I could have performed man
