5 Tips to Help You Succeed
1. Forget Luck, Live by Intent
A few things may happen by chance. But if you
wait for chance, good things will happen to you only
when you are in your grave because things may take
their time. Even quantum theory says that if you try,
you can actually walk through a wall once in a “zillion” times because there is a pulsation of particles
happening and you may walk through. It is just that
before you reach that one zillionth time, you’ll have a
cracked skull. When you live by chance, you also live
in fear and anxiety. When you live by intent and capability, it does not matter what is happening or not
happening, at least you are in control of what is happening to you. It is a more stable life.
2. Stop Fixating on Failure
For a committed person, there is no such thing as
failure. If you fall down 100 times a day, it is 100
lessons learned. If you commit yourself like this to
creating what you really care for, your mind gets organized. Once your mind gets organized, your emotions will get organized because the way you think is
the way you feel. Once your thought and emotion are
organized, your energies and your very body will
get organized. Once all these four are organized in
one direction, your ability to create and manifest
what you want is phenomenal. You are the creator in
many ways.
3. Work with Clarity
What a human being needs is clarity, not confidence. If you want to walk through a crowd of people,
if your vision is clear and you can see where everybody is, you can just walk through the whole crowd
without touching anyone. If your vision is not clear
but you have confidence, you will walk over everybody. Because there is no clarity, people think that
confidence is a good substitute. It just cannot be. Let’s
say you make all the major decisions in your life like
this: get yourself a coin, flip it. If it is heads, it is one
way, tails the other. It works 50 percent of the time. If
you are right only 50 percent of the time, there are
only two professions that you can keep—either a
weather man or an astrologer. You cannot keep any
other job on this planet.
4. Embrace the People and Things You Dislike
To handle different kinds of situations in our
lives, we need different kinds of identities. If you are
fluid about it, if you can change from one to another
gracefully, then you can play your role to the hilt and
still have no problem with it. But for most people,
their personality is like a rock. It sits on them all the
time and makes them suffer anything that does not
fit into its ambit.
If you have to break that, you have to do something in reverse. This is a simple thing you can do: Team up with someone that you do not like. Spend time with that person, very lovingly, joyfully. Learn to do things that you do not like, be with people that you do not like, and still live your life sensibly, lovingly, and joyfully.
5. Drop Your Calculations
There is no need to aspire to greatness. If you
make the focus and ambit of your life well beyond
the concerns of who you are, you will anyway be a
great human being. If you look at certain people,
greatness happened to them not because they were
seeking to be great, but because their way of looking
at life was way beyond “What about me?”
If you just drop this one calculation, “What about me?” from your head, and function to the best of your ability, in some way you will be great because you will naturally be looking at, “What can I do about all the life around me?” So, you will naturally enhance your capabilities because there is so much to do!
