How it works

nidhi3 Comments

People are capable, at anytime in their lives, of doing what they dream of.

– Paulo Coelho

How many of you feel that something is missing?

Something, which might be important in your life but it isn’t there, and so you feel numb.

You are doing just fine, but something is not right.

That something, most of the times is your happiness.

Because, no matter how well you’re doing, if you don’t like doing it, either work or relationships, that real happiness will always be missing.

Have you read the book ‘the secret’ by Rhonda Byrne, and ‘the alchemist’ by Paulo Coelho.

These are my two favourite books, and both of them focuses on how to fulfil your dreams and deepest desries.

Do you have something that you really want?

Then tell the universe that you want it, and you might get it.

The law of attraction comes in action there,

Let us all come together and see how it works……….

” “

One Sunday morning I was casually reading, when I came across some interesting stuff.

I’ve read mostly about business and success, but something different caught my eye that day.

There was an article about achieving goals by believing and imagining it happen. I was intrigued and started scanning through it.

It was very philosophical, it included all the things like impact of thoughts, process of success, power of imagination, the subconscious mind, and so on.

I was quite fascinated and wanted to try some of that right away and so I made an action plan.

Recently I was given a product survey, more like a test for audience interest before the launch. And for that I had put up a brief seminar.

It was a perfume in an elegantly shaped bottle so as to give it an exquisite look. The scent was refreshing as well as soothing and in three different variety.

I made a short presentation on the specifications and pros and cons of the product with a whole hearted speech on why it is different and worth buying.

Which went extremely under expectation. But I was convinced that the product wasn’t that bad and thus, I continued making plans to impress more people so they would invest in that product.

I felt or somehow anticipated, I was short on something and that was causing the hinderance in my success.

After reading that article I thought of a different approach in the advertisement of the product.

Though I knew that the product was good and worth the time and money, I first tested if out by myself and made a video of it.

I went to some people who came to the seminar and asked them if they were willing to state their experience of that day in front of the camera. Luckily, some of them agreed.

I invited those people over to my home, greeted them merrily, offered them tea, talked for a while, then asked a few questions before they left.

I interviewed each of them individually giving everyone enough time to speak, sat beside them to make them comfortable and feel like just a normal conversation.

Most of them knew me already and so it was even more satisfying. I had a pleasant time attending to them and I felt grateful for the time they spared for me.

After they left, I sat by myself thinking about the recent events.

In the article it was written that if you feel good, everything that happens will be good. This was the first thing or a trick, that I applied with today’s hosting.

And it turns out that it really works. Not for a second I let myself feel that the people might be here to criticize, and guess what, they didn’t.

It was very amusing and I kept smiling by myself. Afterall why won’t I, I was really happy.

I started making an advertisement for yet another seminar, this time I kept it more authentic and added a funny but appealing tag line.

I sent it out to my company in the noon and they approved it till evening.

This time I had kept the seminar exclusive, added some personal invitees and it got a little high budget.

Most of the times advertisements and venues with high budget never got approved, but I was just confident before sending it out and it really got accepted.

After the news spread in the company premises, I got a few calls from my colleagues to inquire how I got the deal.

I had no explanation but only the belief in myself and I simply told them, though they hardly accepted it. I then invited them all plus one guest each.

This made them happy as well, and I got a few more visitors. I didn’t know how I got that idea, it was random but perfect.

I was now left with a few days before the seminar, so I started editing the video and making a fine presentation.

And for ten to fifteen minutes, twice a day, I would imagine how the whole program will happen.

In doing so I actually started believing the things I thought were really happening and that made me even more confident.

The day of the seminar came, there were so many people in the room. I was a little nervous but it didn’t scare me.

I showed the presentation first, it was of three slides and I have added a few funny characters and a story to it. Everyone laughed and so I can assume that they liked it.

Next, I showed the video of what were the views of people and how well we got along.

In the end of the video I added another funny clip, in which I was spraying the perfume in the room and on me as well.

“Yes, I did that.” I laughed and asked, “How did you like the smell of my home, those who were there?”

I got all the positive comments and an applause for my presentation. And that happened just like I imagined.

Of all the things, that clapping of hands was the exact representation of my imagination and it was the thing that mattered the most.

After that, the head of our project came up on the stage and surprised everyone by announcing the official launch of the product.

He stood on the stage beside me, asked me not to leave, thanked me for my efforts as he gave a speech and we cut the ribbon together for the launch.

After that, there was a launch party and an investors summit.

People were coming up to me and appreciating, which was extremely flattering and unexpected.

I was on cloud nine that day, and I know now if I feel good, good things will come my way.

Conclusion,

  • Our subconscious mind has tremendous potential, if you feed it the right information, it is very likely to happen.
  • It is true that if you feel good, all the good things will happen, because you will find good in everything and vice versa.
  • If you are giving out positive vibes and feeling positive, you will attract positivity.
  • Imagination helps too, because if you can imagine it you can do it. Start from the little things, if you imagine saying something to someone, you will find yourself doing that in real sooner or later.
  • Believe in yourself, it is the most important thing or a gift you could give yourself.

Short Story

Anxiety.

When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

– Wayne Dyer

I am writing this one especially because our generations has faced the most changes.

And the competitions are increasing day by day, in all the fields.

People nowadays are more likely to ignore feelings over benefits.

In this fast changing world, many of us may feel left behind and neglected.

The need for more, never ends. If one has money, they need more. If one has fame, they want more and so on.

Either we have or we do not, at the end of the day something is always missing and we feel anxious.

We think no one understands, because no one listens or no one has the time to, right?

That’s not true.

This post is for everyone out there, who thinks no one care, We have each other.

Let us read together and share and understand……….

It feels like my whole life is passing by and I have no power over it. I am always being ordered to do things.

Whether it is in school or home, I feel like I’m always being pushed over.

I am tired of living like this, there’s no one to whom I can tell how I feel because everyone is so busy with their own problems.

‘Today at school I will try to be better, to be useful and it will be a good day.’ I told myself as I got up from bed.

I didn’t know what was coming today, most of my days were weary and problematic.

It was like trouble always found it’s way to me, and I always stood there waiting for it.

No one wants to be like that and neither do I. There are people who have so many friends and almost everyone likes them and then there’s me always invisible.

Sometimes I feel jealous for what others have and I do not and it’s like I am missing out on so much but I have no other choice, I am like that from the start ‘ the nonexistent one ‘.

As I stepped through the school gate, my one and only friend approached me with a huge smile and greeted me.

I liked hanging out with him, together we both were ‘ the invisibles ‘, that’s a funny name I know and it was his idea.

He is the funny one and I am the one with brain. Haha I’m just kidding, we both are equally intelligent and funny, at least that’s what I think.

The only difference we have is that I care too much about the people around us and what they think, and he doesn’t.

The day was no different than others until we entered the cafeteria where someone accidentally spilled their cup of ice cream on me.

I was immediately the source of laughter and fun for everyone in the room. People were laughing and making fun of me as they usually do.

And I stood there numb, waiting for it to stop but it never did. I was then dragged away by my friend and I went to the bathroom to clean up.

The stains were still on my clothes, my friend wanted to talk to me about the incident and apparently I didn’t want to.

“Why do these things happen to me.” was the only thing I said as I rushed off to the class, and he followed.

As I entered all the eyes were on us again, those weird and freaky looks can never get old. People were eyeing and making fun of me just because of one stupid ice cream.

I cannot believe how pathetic that was and it was still happening, I couldn’t get my mind off of it even if I tried, he distracted me a few times but I was back on those thoughts again and again.

Even when the lecture was ongoing I was turning my head right and left just to make sure that I wasn’t laughed at anymore.

Which again caused me trouble, as the teacher saw me scanning the class and I was scolded for misbehaviour. Hence embarrassing myself once more.

When the lecture ended I stood up straight to leave as soon as possible, I heard someone call out to me and I knew it was just to make fun and so I didn’t turn back.

But then few more people started shouting my name so I looked at them all the sudden and I collided with the person behind me.

At this point my anger was uncontrollable and I ran out of there without stopping till I was outside the corridor.

I sat on the grass in the school campus, I was overwhelmed with emotions but still maintained my cool and stayed silent.

My friend was right behind me, he sat there with me, that too without saying anything. And I really liked that, because I wasn’t able to talk.

He waited till I was able to say anything and so we can have a conversation. I spoke eventually, I didn’t know what to say so I asked how he was doing.

And he laughed, he literally just laughed at me again. I punched him so he can shut his mouth and stop making me feel so miserable for doing nothing more but speaking.

“Am I really a joke or a fool that everyone finds something humorous about and start laughing at?” I inquired concernedly,

“No, you are not.” he said,

“Then why do these things happen to me.” I complained, he shrugged,

We sat there until the bell rang and it was time for the last class, I was not sure of going in again as I stood in the premises,

“Just don’t pay attention to anyone.” he advised,

“Easy for you to say.” I claimed, and he laughed again giving me the strength to walk in.

I tried not to look at anyone and simply sat on the chair, paying attention to the teacher till the end. Then I left the class as calmly as I could.

On my way out, someone stopped in front of me, I looked up to inquire what the matter was and they just started belittling me.

“What’s the matter?” I asked,

“We know you do all that stupid stuff only because you want attention.” they said cruelly,

“Are you mad, who would even want that.” I cried,

They didn’t stop their accusations and I just ran away from their and headed straight home, and again the dear friend chase was on.

He screamed my name as I ran and ran, not stopping even to take a breath. He caught me eventually and made me sit on the nearest bench.

“Why are you doing this to yourself?” he said after a while,

“I am doing, really you too? From the moment I wake up to the one I go to bed everything goes wrong, bad things happen around me always, I try so hard to see that nothing goes wrong but everything does. Sometimes, I don’t even wanna get up from bed because I know nothing good is ever going to happen to me.” I spoke with tears in my eyes,

“That’s where you are wrong.” he said, I sat quietly listening to him,

“You see, most of your problems are in your head. You always think that you are going to embarrass yourself and then you do. I’m not saying that you are doing this on purpose, but it is highly affecting you. You are not less than anyone else in that room, you are not the troublemaker, problems not only come to you. So don’t create a situation in your head that makes you think any of that. You know, you are the best and the most effective person I’ve ever met, don’t let that hide in the clouds of your concerns. You are not the problem, and you don’t create problems. Stop thinking that, be the best of yourself. I know who you are, so let me help you see it and smile because you know who you are, not what people tell you.” he affirmed.

I smiled, not because he told me to but because I knew he was right. I do think a lot and then end up having doubts about myself.

We sat there for a while then, he kept telling me how great I am and I kept laughing, well probably because it was too much, but I didn’t doubt myself for once then and forever.

” “

So this type situation can also form in your work environment or around your siblings, but trust me when I say this ‘no one can see who you truly are, unless you do yourself’.

Conclusion

  • As written earlier ‘most of your problems are in your head’, so think positive, think good about yourself, because if you’ll love yourself, you won’t even worry about who loves you or who doesn’t.
  • Don’t beat yourself up over what others think of you because they don’t know you. So you either show them your true side or don’t worry at all.
  • No matter how bad you think the situation is, it will all clear up, it will all be okay, just believe in yourself.
  • Having self doubt is for a few seconds is okay, but get up and back on track the next second.
  • People laugh, mostly to hide their own insecurities, don’t let them get you down.

Hello everyone, I don’t know how this article helped you, or even if it did or not,

Short Story

Focus

nidhiLeave a comment

The successful warrior is the average man, with laser-like focus.

– Bruce lee

It is usually not easy to be focused on one thing,

Nowadays, people have several tasks on hand to take care of,

And each of them are considered equally important.

Do you do that too?

Well I have to say, I do.

There are so many things to see-to and then we get lost between them.

And being entangled, one might not find the very thing that they need.

Thus, focus is a very tricky and essential part of life.

Let’s blur out everything for a moment and focus on a our imagination………

” “

I was sitting on the chair, in front of my computer trying to write an article which I had to submit within two days to the magazine I work for.

It was an important task but also very tiring one. I had to sit through hours and think up stuff to write.

While I was writing, mom called me to help her move the winter clothes from upper cabinets to empty space in the cupboard, where everyone can easily take them.

I asked her if anyone else was free to help her, but no one was home and so I have to get up and do it.

After completing the moving, I thought of the work I had pending and went back to my desk.

But I was too lazy to do that again for hours. And so, I thought I should take a break and refresh my mind.

I bought some snacks from the kitchen to my room and started watching the series I very much like.

I didn’t realise how much time I spent on that until mom called again and asked me to go to the store to buy some missing ingredients for dinner.

As soon as I got back from the store I started working on the article with all my concentration.

After a little while, I was called for dinner. Everyone was already on the table and I greeted them all.

We had a nice supper and chat, and later I helped mom to do the dishes.

I usually wait for two hours before going to bed and in that time I completed other stuff I was concerned with.

Like, making a schedule for the next day, organising my desk, analysing the work and the other activities I did that day and so on.

By the time I completed all my chores, I was already feeling sleepy and so I climbed the bed and grabbed a book to read, as it is my habit to read before I sleep.

After waking up the next morning and getting ready for work, I got multiple texts from the office that I have to run some errands before arriving there.

And here I go again, following my routine, just doing things and sometimes not even liking them.

This is what I’ve been doing for a while now, just wake up, go to work, come back in the evening and go to bed, I’m quite fed up and I don’t know why.

I chose the work of writing because I liked doing it very much, but now it is just tiresome.

The only thing I enjoy in my day now, is the reading that I do before I go to bed.

‘How did things turn out this way? when did I lose interest in my work?’ I asked myself.

I was so much hopefull and high spirited person, I chose what I loved to do and still I was living just a mediocre and stressful life.

“It was never supposed to be this way.” I told myself, and so I took a day off from the office to figure out what I want and how.

Though I had to turn in the article on time and so I worked late that night and completed it to have the next day completely to myself.

This morning as I woke up, I was ready to learn something new about myself. I was prepared to find out the reason where I changed.

I walked downstairs and had breakfast, spent some quality time with my family and then all got busy in their respective works.

I had nothing to do and so I thought of going to a library, my favourite place on earth.

There I read some old magazines where I had published my articles and I noticed that overtime my writings have became more statistical than creative.

The reason why that happened was because I started feeling reserved while working.

I had set boundaries and limits in which I completed my work and that made it more tedious than intresting.

And those limits were because I always had something else on hand to complete that it diverted my attention.

Though it wasn’t only the time limit but the way I looked at what I did, that made it more lenthy.

Now that I know what made me so grumpy about the things I do, I had to find a way to associate with everything and make the best out of it.

My passion still lied in writing and so I decided to give it my complete attention for at least two hours in a day.

And in that time I will not take any other task in between. Or even better, I will complete any other important things first and then make my writing my leisure time.

Conclusion.

  • Focus is something which isn’t easy to hold, but does a lot of good when given properly.
  • Everyone says to ‘find your passion’ but it isn’t always butterflies and unicorns in doing that, so to make the best out of your passion and yourself, you will have to love it unconditionally.
  • It is only logical that you can not do just one thing in a whole day and so it’s okay to sit back, relax and entertain yourself, but the real test is when you’re doing something productive which won’t be so much entertaining and you will have to say yes to the work and no to the pleasure, that’s only when you grow.

Hello everyone, how are you doing?

Have you found your passion yet? NO?

It’s okay, you will soon.

Till then keep reading, and if you like my post do share it with someone who can relate.

And if you have to ask me anything or tell me something, comment below.

Thanks for reading with me.

Have a great time ahead.
