    In this blog post I will let you know why the book The Power of Now a must read for all.

    This book is a constant reminder that the only thing we can control is the current moment.

    It wonderfully inspires us to focus on the present rather than repenting on the past or worrying about the unknown future.

    Focusing on the present moment is know to drive away anxiety, stress and improves our immune system.

    The state of NO MIND is a very powerful concept I have learnt from this book. This is indeed required in the hustle and bustle of modern life as mentioned in this post.

    Are you an Honest Trier?

    I am a big believer of focusing on the process rather than the end product. This is why I encourage you all to be an honest trier like me.

    It is when we focus on things e can control and indulge in deliberate practice is when ordinary people can make extraordinary things happen.

    An honest trier puts in the hours to attain expertise rather than being obsessed with results.

    Deliberate practice leads to mastery when we attain at least 10000 hours. Read this insightful post on deliberate practice.

    So what are you waiting for? Be obsessed with the present moment, sincerely try putting your best effort and believe in deliberate practice.

    Are you obsessed with Now?

    I would like to be remembered as a person who was obsessed with the now or the present moment.

    In the hustle and bustle of modern day life, we spent a lot of time worrying about the future and regretting about the past.

    Very often we do not realize that the only truth is the present moment wherein we can unleash all our energy to leave a legacy behind.

    Various techniques like practicing mindfulness, doing meditation teach us the virtues of focusing on the present moment.

    The following insight mentioned by Eckhart Tolle in his book The Power of Now is very illuminating.

    We all need to make the most of our leisure time by focusing on the present moment. This is quintessential to trigger creativity.

    In a state of no mind we are still using our mind but directing it to trigger creativity in a more focused manner than before.

    During leisure it is important to think about the present and not regret about past or fear about the future.
