When we are born, from the time we are just an infant, we know our life purpose. We know what we were put on earth to do the very first breath we take.
However most of us, majority of us, never go on to realize their dreams. They never go on to live a purposeful life and a life of inspiration.
Why not?
Human beings will tell you a millions things as to why they cannot to something. Whenever somebody asks you, “why you cannot achieve a dream?” The answer that follows suit is an excuse and not a reason. –I’m not smart enough, I’m not rich enough, I’m too fat, I look like a little boy- These are all false beliefs. They are know widely was negative affirmations or LIMITING BELIEFS. Limiting beliefs are the reason people fail.
There are as real as trying to walk through a brick wall. You will not walk past it!
Let me give you a summary of how this works. Again, as you would know, it all starts with thoughts.
You first undergo an experience or hear about how someone as failed or had been hurt. Your thoughts would be “If I do this I would be miserable!”
This thought then becomes your values and beliefs about your life and this situation. Your values and beliefs determines how your act towards the situation. Your actions bring about emotions and feelings about what you are doing. You actions create your experience. You experience determines your reality.
In other words. If you keep affirming and hold the negative belief that all men are idiots. You are sure to keeping bumping into men that are idiots. You will never be disappointed. When you expect the worse you will get it.
You perceptions create the expectations of all situations.
“Nothing is ever good or bad, thinking makes its so.” Henry Ford.
The solution: Throw out limiting beliefs. You do keep rotten tomatoes in your fridge. You throw out the old and buy fresh new ones. Just so, you want to plant a garden with flowers and not weeds. From today, do not let your negative BS (bull shit or belief system) prophesize a disaster in you life. Take control. Jesus said, “I and my Father are one, you and I and One…” If God is a creator of life, we are co-creators with the divine!!!
The next factor that inhibits our ability to live our best life and our dreams, are fears!
Fears are False Evidence Appearing Real. A man who has fear is a man who is never free. He might as well be locked up and the key thrown away. Fear is that red robot that never changes on the road. We want to do something with our lives but we are constantly bombarded with WHAT IF questions…what if this happens? What if I get hurt? What if I fail?
You will never know if you never try. Such an old cliché but how can I not use it? It is better to have tried and failed than to never to have tried at all.
Do not wait to you’re 65 to wish you had tried to live your dreams. When you had the energy, when you had the resources, when you had the time and strength…
We all have about 7 major fears.
The fear of poverty, criticism, ill health, loss of love, loss of liberty, old age and death,
I don’t care what fear you have. I know this. You are a being a of love. The very essence of love. The opposite of love is not hatred. It is fear. So, do not act against the forces of nature. Whatever the fear is, FEEL THE FEAR AND DO IT ANYWAY!
In the beginning I said, “Herein lies the key to success” I haven’t mentioned that as yet.
So what is then Hitesh I hear you ask? It is 5 words my dear friends.
HOPE, DETERMINATION, PERSEVERANCE, ATTITUDE and PATIENCE
No matter how many obstacles you encounter on your road to success, never give up hope. The greatest of all forms of happiness comes as the result of hope of achievement of some yet unattained desire. Poor is the person who cannot look to the future with hope that he will become the person he would want to be or with the belief that he will attain the objective he has failed to reach in the past. Summarized words of Napoleon Hill.
When you want what you want so bad that you will swim the deepest ocean for it and climb the highest mountain, you will be successful. 1% of the worlds population earn 99% of the worlds health. Why? That 1% never gave up. No matter what, they persevered until they got what they wanted. The other 99% simply tried, tried and tried and on the forth time, gave up. Those who want to succeed never give up. Winners never quit and quitters never win!
Adopt a POSITIVE mental attitude. Need I day more? You attitude will take you to high altitudes!
Romewas never built in a day. As much I want morning to arrive as I sit at night writing this, I will have to wait patiently for the sun to rise. Will it not rise? Of course it will.
Just so, the sun will shine down upon you to glorify your success and your victory.
You will sit back, take in a deep breath and tell yourself, “I did it, Congratulations”
I want to leave you with something from the Conversations with God series by Neale Donald Walsh.
Hope is the doorway to belief, belief is the doorway to knowing, knowing is the doorway to creation, and creation is the doorway to experience. Experience is the doorway to expression, expression is the doorway to becoming, becoming is the activity to all life and the only function of God.
What you hope, you will eventually believe, what you believe you will eventually know, what you know you will eventually create, what you create you will eventually experience, what you experience you will eventually express, and what you express you will eventually become.
This is the formula for all of life.
Till next month, open your hearts to all in your life, those that hurt you and those that love you. Keep dreaming, never stop. Dreams come true. I am living mine.
I love you, be great always,
Hitesh Surujbally
