    Let your Tattoo remind you of this GIFT

    The tattoo I would have would reflect the fact that the PRESENT moment is a GIFT from god to serve as a constant reminder to enjoy the moment.

    The quirk of our brain is that it hates focusing on the present moment. Hence it is normal for our mind to constantly feel depressed of the past and worried about the future.

    When we are mindful and show our gratitude to god for gifting us the present moment, our life becomes blissful with joy.

    Hence practice mindfulness and let your tattoo always remind you of this reality.

    A brilliant lessons from the book The Power of Now has been illustrated below:

    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.

    Why is Mindfulness so Important?

    The Habit of Mindfulness is one habit which when practiced regularly over a period of time is sure to improve the quality of your life. I have experienced noticeable improvements since the time I started being mindful.

    The most powerful strategy to maintain good health and well being is to realize the power of now. Focus on the NOW for a fulfilling life.

    More often than not due to lack of focus our mind vacillates and hence we are either regretful of the past or obsessed with the future. This leads to anxiety, fear and restlessness.

    Practicing mindfulness a a habit is necessary to reverse the natural instinct of the brain to deny the present moment. This is wonderfully illustrated by Eckhart Tolle in his book The Power of Now.

    Habit of Mindfulness

    Hence this habit will improve your life in the long term and will make you realize long lasting benefits.

    What’s the best way to build self-confidence?

    Easiest way to build SELF CONFIDENCE

    Act now and build self confidence is the age old and proven mantra to build your self belief.

    Most leaders who are successful are hands on and prefer action over inaction when faced with self defining moments. Taking requisite action by facing fear eye to eye is the best way to develop self belief.

    As James Clear very famously says in The Atomic Habits:

    “Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become. No single instance will transform your beliefs, but as the votes build up, so does the evidence of your new identity.”

    In his best selling book The Power of Now, the author Eckhart Tolle inspires us to stop complaining and ACT by focusing on the present moment.

    ACT NOW and build SELF CONFIDENCE

    So better ACT now to start gaining in SELF CONFIDENCE..

    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.

    As James Clear mentions 1% improvement everyday has a compounding effect. Read this insight on power of tiny gains..

    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.

    It is NOW or NEVER

    Why should you LIVE in the NOW?

    In his book The Practicing Mind the author Thomas Sterner encourages us to honor the present moment. He highlights that it is now or never and hence we should not wait to act.

    The right moment will only come when we act rather than waiting for the right moment and time.

    He explains at length the importance of the process rather than obsession on the end product for long lasting success and happiness.
