    Live in the Present Moment

    Knowing that the The PRESENT is your TRANSFORMATION tool is the best life changing advice that I can provide from my experience.

    Very often we regret about the past and worry too much about our future due to the inherent nature of our brain to vacillate from the present moment.

    This is the biggest cause of anxiety and worry in our lives.

    In his book The Power of Now, the author Eckhart Tolle has inspired all of us to live in the present moment and unleash our best selves.

    This insight should inspire you to live in the present moment.

  • Patience Pays in the Long Run

    Patience Pays in the Long Run

    Do you think everything happens for a reason?
    View all responses

    I do belieive everything happens for a reason. We just need to have faith in God and believe that patience pays in the long run.

    Everything that we long for may not come to us instantaneously but if our intentions are sincere then with the right effort and focus, results will come at just the right time.

    The best example of this is in selling. Many a times salespeople give up on prospects after the 5th attempt. Whereas in many of the cases it has been observed that the customer would have converted on the 7th attempt.

    Hence patience is a virtue that needs to be practiced and will bear fruits in the long run.

    Have you learnt you lesson on Infinite Mindedness yet?

    Purchase your Pass of Infinite Mindedness is a blog post to inspire you to adopt an infinite mindset. The recent purchase of Simon Sinek’s book The Infinite Mindset has hugely helped me in getting enlightened.

    In this book the author has encouraged us to adopt an abundance mentality and better ourselves by the day rather than comparing and competing with others around us.

    The author argues that winning does not matter in life or business. Our goal should be to keep playing the game of life with an abundance mentality without being carried away by the need to win at all times.

  • Practice leads to Greatness

    Practice leads to Greatness

    Practice leads to greatness. Nothing can be more evident than the examples that Adam Grant has provided in his book Originals.

    In his book the author argues that greatness can only be achieved when we do a high volume of work. Only a small fraction of the work would eventually be considered great.

    Practice leads to Greatness

    As you can see all these great personalities produced a huge volume of work out of which only a small fraction is remembered by many.

    The big lesson we derive from this is continuous practice will refine our art.
