Understand the unseen forces shaping your life
Every day you wake up with new
thoughts and new feelings. Feeling of anything, it might be feeling of working
at office with a new spirit to get appreciation, or to make your love feel very
special today, or to go for outing to get a break and have a pleasant day, or
anything. What are these feelings? Are these our aspirations? Are these our
expectations from us or from our life or from our day? Or are these feelings
and thoughts actually design our day or our life?
Supposedly, you wake up in the
morning with a feeling that you’ll have to look most stunning and best today.
Well, this is a nice thought. You start getting ready, stand in front of the
mirror. Suddenly something pop ups in your mind that someone said sometime that
your nose is too crooked. You’re fat. And you begin to doubt yourself.
Similarly, you start your day with a thought of working well at office. And
suddenly you recall yesterday’s incident when your manager shouted on you and
said that you are good for nothing. And you begin loosing that positive energy
and let that negative energy comes in by recalling the incidents which has
already happened and gone. Thus you begin attracting that same energy
throughout your day.

Many of times when we travel by
public transport we meet number of people in bus or in metro, living their day
to day life, a usual life. But, is it really that usual? Every
day we meet new people, a new transport, a new day, then how can it be so
usual?
We must realize that the day which
has gone is actually gone, and a new day is not really that usual day, but an
opportunity for a new beginning. When we take each day of us as learning, we
will end up every day with a new transformation and perfection in our
personality. Our day starts with a thought, a positive thought for ourselves.
When we actually keep away the incidents occurred in the past, Life keeps going
on and keeps unlocking a new opportunity for us to know ourselves, our
capabilities and the life even more.
The strange part of this internal
conversation going on in our mind is that we know there is no truth to the
accusation. We truly know ourselves and we all are aware about our inner
potential and capabilities. But the outer incidents affect our personalities
and make us a person which we are actually not, and hence we start doubting
ourselves. When we doubt on us, our thoughts attracts it and shape our lives.
These are such powerful unseen forces exist which has a great impact on us and on
our lives. So, one must understand that the past negative incident has no
relation with the present or future, except learning. Nothing is usual. Every
day is new, a new beginning, new thoughts, new spirit, new power new challenges
and opportunities to make your day unique. The powerful unseen force is your
“thoughts” which comes in your mind when your wake up in the morning. Keep that
positive thought with yourself and keep that spirit high and see the wonders
you can make throughout your day. Your thoughts shape your life and make your
destiny. Take Charge of your life in your hands with the powerful force which
is there inside you “The power of your Thoughts, your beliefs through which you
can either attract abundance or a negative energy. Choice is yours. Make the
best use of your power granted by the universe.

Meditation rejuvenates the soul-- Success Guru AK Mishra
Mediation is a beautiful unseen
power, which through the ears enters to one’s brain & body, and then
rejuvenates the soul entirely. For a healthy body, a healthy mind is necessary,
which can only be achievable through mediation. It is that healing power which
makes a human being away and detached from all the negative thoughts, negative
vibration and generates positive thoughts, hence positivity into life. It
requires regular practice to unlock a new world of happiness and gratitude.
Dedicating 30 minutes out of 24 hours
in a day to the spiritual side or meditation can truly bring beautiful positive
changes in Human’s Life and brain system. As we all are aware about the
unlimited brain power of Human being, and we can hardly use 2% of it. Why?
Because our brain is not focused! To use actual brain power of Human being, or
to increase the ability of using the brain power, one needs to be focused on a
particular thought at a particular time, leaving behind all other thoughts
which become great distraction in that thinking process. And this focused state
of mind is only achievable through meditation. Meditation calms up the mind and
rejuvenates our brain nerves when the body and mind becomes tired and
stressful.
Mediation also helps to cure the illness
and helps to stay fit. It is said that the root of illness is in our conscious
mind; therefore by clearing the mind from all these disturbing thoughts, we can
actually heal our body 90% faster. Nature itself provides cure for all these
illness. Health and illness are natural process in Human’s body. By practicing
meditation, the worries, stress, anxieties drop off and give a new rise to
positive state of mind, which in turns has a very positive impact on our
physical body, brain and nervous system and hence helps to cure illness
faster.
Mediation also helps to enhance
creativity and effectiveness at workplace. Everyone should steal out 30 minutes
in morning every day before leaving for office to begin the day with amazing
freshness and new ideas. Meditation enhances creativity and brings freshness
which in turns builds up the satisfaction level and desire to try our something
new every day, and eliminates the feeling of anxiety, annoyance, anger and such
other negative consciousness.
How to Meditate
Problems with thoughts in meditation
This is a basic problems faced by
numbers of people who starts meditating. One has to understand and keep in mind
that thoughts are natural process of our brain. Although meditation is a powerful
process where one can experience the silence of mind, but by not deliberately forcefully eliminating
the thoughts, but by becoming aware of the silence which is naturally present
in Human’s mind along with numerous thoughts. When we stop resisting what is
naturally happening, we experience calmness and peace.
Restlessness
Generally people find it difficult to
sit still in a place for a long time while meditating. It’s very common in
initial mediation process of thinking about the things you could be doing or
the restlessness like you would want to get up right away.
The best solution for this
restlessness is start feeling the sensation of restlessness in your body. In
which part of your body you are feeling that restlessness or start focusing on
your breaths. Breathe in and out, the sensation you feel in the body while
breathing. Although it is a time taking process, but gradually people actually
start enjoying this procedure. And the best thing is the result, which people
gains with the meditation exercise, which banish out the restlessness
gradually.

AK Mishra’s Art of Success wishes all beautiful Mother’s A very Happy Mother’s Day
There are many precious things that
God has bestowed on us; however, Mother is one of unique gifts of God. She is an
expression of Sacrifice and Love. 10th
May is such a special day, to honor Mothers, Great Grandmothers to make a
beautiful contribution to the family and the society. It’s a day for everyone
to show their appreciation and love towards mothers and mother figures
worldwide. On this special occasion, AK Mishra’s Art of Success salutes to all
the mothers on this earth who compromise all her wishes, happiness just to
fulfill the wishes of her kids and family. Mothers comprise of a
bundle of emotions. So this goes out to all the mothers who have
kept awake all night with their sick kids in their arms, constantly
whispering those compassionate words, "It's OK baby, mom is
here, For those mothers who cannot control tears from dribbling down their
cheeks when they hold their babies for the first time in their arms; So,
this is meant for all the young and aged mothers, Housewives and working
mothers, married mothers and the single mothers, and for those without whom
life would have been insufferable.
A Case Study
A daughter is giving a huge
thanks to her single mother, while sharing her story with us and her mother’s
love after attending our session “Art of Success for Parenting”
Preeti: “ While I was
attending the session, AK Mishra’s Art of Success, Suddenly between the
session, AK Mishra Sir posed this question: Who has influenced your life the
most? I thought for a while, and realized, it was no one else, but “My Mother”
I recalled when I was just 5 yrs old, my Dad died. That time when my dad was with us, the life was so beautiful and easy. It seemed like we were on the top of the world. My dad was
making good money and we were living in a big house in Bandra, Mumbai. Then my
dad was diagnosed with cancer and died in next 5 months. That’s when we found out
that my dad didn't have any great life insurance. Nor we had enough savings, as
everything was going so smooth; we never had a thought of something like this
ever.
During the session, when I was
hearing the struggle stories, shared by parents during the session, I reflected
back on my life, I realize how difficult it would had been for my mother to
handle this sudden turn of life, upbringing of a 5 yrs kid and providing her
good education being a single parent. most of what I am today, I learned from a
tough, courageous woman who went to work hard day and night to get me ready for
life. I realize now how many success principles she displayed while living out
her life. One of the principles I learned from my mom was to “never complain”.
It was tough for my mom, she really got a bad deal, but as I look back, I
cannot remember any of her complaining about her tough times in life. And I
used to complain for all those small things she couldn't give to me without
realizing that she was actually giving her life to me. But now I have actually
learnt those principles which I am going to follow throughout my life. She only
had one goal in her mind, to give her daughter a beautiful life. She did not
marry again as she used to be scared if the man would love her daughter or not.
My mother has not only been a mother for me, but an idol Women, a friend who
always guided me at every step. I remember when my mother used to take me at
her conference and seminars, when I was 11yrs old, not because she did not
provide me babysitter, but she wanted me to learn something. The way AK Mishra
sir portrayed the love of parents for their kids by his words and strong facts
he shared, narrating stories, examples; I literally had tears in my eyes
throughout the seminar, tears of pleasure for having such wonderful mother in
my life. Thanks to AK Mishra’s Art of Success.”
This is the story of a mother and
daughter, who faced sudden enormous change in their life, and how her mother
took all those tough moments and challenges on herself and saved her daughter
from all the negative effects. We actually feel proud for organizing such
session on this beautiful module “Art of Success for Parenting” as we can
actually see how it makes kids realize the parents’ emotions and sacrifices
they make to give their kids a beautiful life, as this daughter realized.
This is dedicated to all of
those single moms out there. You are doing a tough job. Stay determined and
love your kids. They’ll see your life and turn out all right.
One relationship which is always with
us is the one we share with our mothers. They are our guiding force and are
responsible for making us who we are. Mothers also shape our lives and our
personalities and crediting them for the same is something one should do at
every opportunity. Although, we should not forget that the same contribution
comes from fathers as well, and without a father, it becomes too arduous for a
mother to give her child the same upbringing and nurturing the way she could
provide with a father figure. But undoubtedly, we have those courageous mothers
who do not only play role of both father and mother in kid’s life, but also
nurture their kid so beautifully and bring out amazingly independent
personalities from the kids.
On this special occasion, every kid
should realize how special they have been treated by their lovely mothers. We
might have our own individualistic approach in paying tribute to these amazing people
in our lives, OUR MOTHER. AK Mishra’s Art of Success dedicates this day
to all the beautiful mothers and wishes every kid a very good luck for making their
mothers feel how special and wonderful creature they are, crafted by master’s
craftsman.

How to become a good leader
A leader should never stop learning.
A leader has to be a perpetual student and should keep learning from his
co-workers, seniors, clients and of course, books; as every Human being has
something to unlock or learn every day at every point of life, no matter what position
he/she has attained in life. Whenever I go for a workshop, I am sad to see that
Managers have stopped reading. Books have great transformative power. It is
said that when you start reading a book and by the time you end it, you are a
transformed human being. A leader cannot cease to grow.
The next biggest secret of leadership
is to become trustworthy and create a climate of trust. How does one become
trustworthy? The answer is behavior. Do I honour my commitment? Am I a
consistent person? Nobody likes to be distrusted or doubted, so why the leader
should keep doubting everybody around him? The leader requires growth as a
human being. For example, if I say that I love you, the first response from you
will be that do I truly mean it. However, when I say that I hate you, it will
be accepted without doubt. Normally, hate is thought to be very natural. One
must bear in mind that if one doubts something, there is a probability of being
skeptical about something good. When a Sales person talks very enthusiastically
about meeting the target, his boss thinks that he is trying to act smart or
when the boss is good, the reportee begins to doubt him. Doubt is ingrained in
our nature. That is why we doubt goodness of human nature and even God. It is
very important to get rid of false alarm and fear.
I know highly qualified people moving
from one organization to another. After a lot of research, I have found that it
is primarily because there is no sense of belonging. One has to pay heavy cost
for not having the sense of belonging. The moment I have a sense of belonging,
my organization and my client becomes my extended family. A good leader must
create a sense of belonging. A sense of belonging is must for great performance
and from the perspective of retention.
A good leader is a source of harmony
within the organization. Harmony is possible only if the leader is aware of his
strength. The conflict is a normal occurrence in the corporate world. There are
a lot of instances where a person refuses to work under a particular boss. This
is because the person is weak in spirit. A strong person will feel comfortable
under anyone. There are leaders who are offended at the drop of a hat. It is
very important to be strong and understanding human being. Ego does not work.
It is absolutely essential that entire organization works with one mind. There
are different personalities within the organization. Unless the goal is clear
and accepted by everybody, the difference of opinion will keep cropping up and
there will be utter disharmony.
A leader should be proficient in
communication through presence. We convey message more through our presence
than through our words. A baby looking at you does not have to say,’I love you.’
As an adult, we keep talking, discussing and arguing and yet we are unable to
convince person sitting in front of us. Why does this happen? The answer is simple. We do not use non
verbal communication. If a person is full of anger or pent up emotion, one
cannot communicate properly, effectively and freely. Effective communication is
possible only when one is in high life condition, able to empathize with others
and believe in win win philosophy.
The key to success in effective
communication is when I precisely convey the intended meaning. I cannot convey
and walk away assuming that the listeners have understood the meaning. I firmly
believe that the best communicators are Bollywood actors. They get a script and
they make you laugh or cry as intended. That is the power of communication. A
very important point is to evoke a reciprocal response from whoever you are
communicating with and this is only possible if one is truly integrated in
one’s own life.
One of the most important qualities
in a good leader is the attitude of a warrior. In order to realize dreams,
warrior like quality is needed. Our corporate culture is clogged by a comfort
zone attitude. We are afraid to be adventurous. Hence, a good leader has to
inspire people around him. There is a difference between motivation and
inspiration. We can motivate somebody by giving a few hundred rupees. However,
such motivation is short-lived. If people are not inspired from within, it will
be not possible to build a good work ethic. However, in most of the
organizations work culture either revolves around inspiration or emergency
deadlines or fear psychosis.

Right Action in right time with powerful belief system and positive thinking is what only required to convert any dream into reality
Power
of your thoughts and belief
Difference
between possibility and impossibility is that of one’s attitude of belief or
disbelief. The story of success begins with courage to see higher dreams. One
should see a dream higher than what he normally thinks is possible. It does not
take any more energy to create a big dream than it does to create a little one.
Robert Fitz says, “If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or
reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is
left is a compromise.”
After having
a right goal with right belief there is a need of right action to convert dream
into a reality. Of course, there is no substitute to hard work but what really
pays is smart work. In the final analysis a smart worker is an intelligent hard
worker. The first and foremost condition of smart work is that you should be
able to simplify your task and should be able to make it interesting too. One
cannot do a work for long and cannot be creative in that till the time he
enjoys it.
Right action
is required to convert your dreams into reality
The world
belongs to dreamers and believers. All the discoveries and inventions are
achievements of lofty dreamers and firm believers. But these dreams and
believes could not become realities till the time they were supported by right
actions. It is said, thought without action is abortion. Therefore there is a
need of right action in right time for converting any dream into reality. Right
action includes a relevant approach, systematic planning and timely
implementation. The first condition of right action is ability to be organized
because you can get the best results from your mind only when you are
organized. When you are organized, power of your mind develops manifold,
your mind becomes magnetic.
Necessity of
Relevant approach towards chosen task
Being relevant
with approach towards your chosen task is like being on right path to your
destination. All efforts become useless when you are irrelevant with your
approach. In fact it is disastrous to work hard with irrelevant approach
because more you would try farther you will be from your destination. Being
irrelevant is like moving from Delhi in north direction towards Chandigarh
while willing to go to Jaipur which is in south direction to Delhi. Faster you
move in wrong direction farther you will be from your goal. Therefore it’s
advisable to invest sufficient time in understanding the actual requirements of
goal and developing right kind of software to get desired results from
yourself.
Being
relevant in approach is a real challenge. This is like being in right track
when we move for a destination. It’s an old saying that well begun is half
done.
Systematic
planning
The next
step of right action is systematic planning. If you fail to plan, you
plan to fail. A result oriented planning needs a thorough understanding of the
task taken, the amount of resources available and meticulous allotment of time
and energy. If you are asked how to eat elephant, definitely you cannot say
that one should open his/her mouth and try to bite the elephant from anywhere
he/she can and finish in one go. A correct approach should be to first cut it
into small pieces and then eat them one by one with proper allotment of time.
Thus if your
task related to your goal looks huge and tough like an elephant, you need to
cut and classify your entire task into small assignments for yourself and then
these assignments should be allotted with time and energy. It’s important to
remember that the planning should be practical which can be genuinely followed.
Developing a right planning is a method of being organized with your efforts.
By this method the whole task and journey to success will be simplified and
will also be made interesting. You will be inspired to move step by step
towards your goal.
Right
implementation of systematic planning
Implementation is the
third and final step of right action. Without it all the things will remain in
air. Whatever has been intelligently planned should be sincerely implemented.
One of the most crucial aspects of implementation is efficient time management.
It requires a very pragmatic allotment of time to different things,
prioritization of tasks and timely completion of the tasks. Those who are
success oriented have minimum possible gaps between their planning and
implementation, whereas failure oriented people always keep complaining against
shortage of time. They always find a lot of works pending and remain also in
stress because of this. They also tend to procrastinate their works. You should
set a target with framework of time and try to meet it. This will boost your
confidence and prepare you for higher tasks. In order to get time bound result
from yourself you have to give training of speed to your mind. As in 100 meter
race, a racer practices in a given time to himself and run again to meet the
target of that time, similarly in your studies you can cover more things in
less time by giving repeated time bound practice to your mind. You can power up
your mind for a speedy and quality coverage of your planned assignments. Habit
of giving relaxed time framework makes your mind slow and lethargic.
Right action
in fact is a smart way of doing anything. To sum up, not hard workers but smart
workers get desired results.
