 Check out this wonderful video of Robin Sharma and learn how to dissolve your fears.

He worked by day And toiled by night. He gave up play And some delight. Dry books he read, New thongs to learn. And forged ahead, Success to earn. He plodded on with Faith and pluck; And when he won, Men called it luck.                                                                   - Anonymous

We all have a purpose to live. We all have goals but the difference lies in how we approach them. There are some who spend their entire life just gazing at dreams, giving excuses and looking for scapegoats, afraid to take even small steps. There are some who are extremely passionate about their purpose of life. They dream big, but start small, practice daily and don't know how to give up and finally end up becoming victorious. To reach the top of a building, we need to climb the stairs.We need to take the steps one by one, to take us closer to where we want to reach.Same goes with the life. We have set many ambitious goals in life but, there is a huge gap between us and our goals.To come closer and to finally embrace success, we need to take small efforts daily.As very well said by Robin Sharma- "Daily ripples of superior performance add up overtime to a tidal wave of outrageous success." We are completely oblivious that these efforts are actually pushing us towar...

If you think you are beaten,you are. If you think you dare not,you don't! If you like to win,but think you can't, It's almost a cinch you won't, If you think you will lose,you are lost; For out in the world we find Success begins with a fellow's will; It's all in the state of mind. If you think you are outclassed,you are, You have got to think high to rise, You have got to be sure of yourself before You can ever win a prize. Life's battles don't always go To the stronger and faster man, But sooner or later the man who wins Is the man who thinks he can.                                                                   -Walter D. Wintle

When all athletes were falling down one by one and when India's probability of coming back empty handed rose to a next level, there came the two shining stars, Pusarla V.S. and Sakshi Malik, both women, reviving hopes and opening India's account of Olympic medals. The "never say die" attitude has definitely paid off. Facing insurmountable difficulties, they emerged as victorious and gave every Indian a reason to celebrate. Sakshi Malik was given a second chance and she turned the tables in her favor only in the last few seconds. The 23 year old girl from Haryana began her journey of wrestling when she was just 12 and can you imagine the reason? She wanted to sit on a plane and fly to different countries.Little did she knew that her naive desire would make her an up and coming personality. While, she gifted a bronze medal to India, Sindhu was also on a roll.Success didn't just come knocking at her door. She has definitely swept every Indian off his feet. In a ...

To laugh is to risk appearing the fool. To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach out for another is to risk involvement. To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self. To place your ideas, your dreams, before a crowd is to risk their loss. To love is to risk not being loved in return. To live is to risk dying. To hope is to risk despair. To try is to risk failure. But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.                                                                     The person who risks nothing, does nothing,  has                                                              ...

If you will ask me what is the biggest challenge in this world, I would say being honest, to have a candor behavior and to be authentic.We meet people having different genes, aspirations, expectations from you and so it is hard to be original because we want to be loved by everyone and have a great fear inside of being left alone. So, we start wearing masks one after the other hiding our true colors. If you meet someone today, he can have exactly contradictory behavior from the one you just met yesterday. Now, how much and to what extent you will mould yourself just to please everybody around you. And at the end of the day, when you ask yourself "who you really are?", trust me, you will discover that you are a FAKE person because whatever qualities you have are just because you wanted to be obsequious. Those are not your real qualities and you are not a real YOU. That behavior of you is borrowed one, not the real one. Now, why is there a need to be so servile and u...

You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot enrich the poor by impoverishing the rich. You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money. You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You cannot build character and courage by taking away man's initiative and independence. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.

You rise, you fall, you stumble, you experience change,you face hardships and this is called as LIFE. Life is unpredictable. When your life seems to be smooth and you are enjoying your perfect life, it can take one of its unkind cuts anytime and anywhere and when this happens,you are exposed to CHANGE. Its very easy to be brave during comfortable times, but what makes you stand out from the crowd is when you show that same level of audacity in times of change.Its not that only ordinary people encounter change, but those who remain undaunted and accept change valiantly becomes extraordinary. There comes a time in everybody's life and at every stage when they have to open their wings and fly to a new environment.But,the difference lies in the perspective and attitude towards this transition. There are people who are complacent with themselves and their life even though they are amongst average ones and so,change to them is unacceptable.They are contented with what they have a...

"We could never learn to be brave and patient if there were only joy in the world"  - Helen Keller "You get the best out of others when you give the best of yourself "                  -Harry Firestone "What the caterpillar calls the end of the world,the master calls the butterfly"   -Richard Bach "There will never be a better you than you"                                                                -Warren Buffett "Money,influence and position are nothing compared with brains,principles, energy and perseverance."                                                                         ...

My phone kept on beeping as HAPPY FRIENDSHIPS DAY messages came and so I opened my Whatsapp and replied to each. But, one message raised my eyebrows as it was from my friend who had turned my enemy few months back. The fallout between both of us had been brewing for some time and we were at each others throat interestingly without no reason! I was adamant not to talk to her at any cost. Though I was wistful in this entire period and wanted to clear up the mess, my ego was shouting louder. But, when she wished me today, somehow my ego and hatred took a back seat and we talked for about an hour recalling old memories. After this, strangely I felt very ecstatic and was not dejected as I was earlier. It felt as if I was relieved of a huge burden on me. This small incident taught me a big lesson. We step out in the world, interact with people from all walks of life and some of them end up being our very close friends. But as the saying goes "Too much familiarity breeds contem...

Waking up early, rushing to the workplace, working assiduously the entire day, coming back home fully exhausted and finally ending yet another day without having a word with family, without laughing your heart out at least once and without LIVING life. Just work,work and work. This is how majority of people spend their life or rather I would say waste their life. In a blink of an eye, your busy days slips into years and there you are on your deathbed, regretting for not having whale of a time and for not celebrating life. We are living in a society where success is measured in terms of money. If you have a heavy bank account, congratulations, you are successful. How asinine! Since, nobody wants to lag behind in this race, they are running after money and chasing their VAGUE dreams."To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people just exist." is very well said by Oscar Wilde. All eyes are so fixed on money that they refuse to look around the exquisite world. It has...
