SUCCESS SUCCESS SUCCESS

One thing that stands in the way of success is your ability to believe in yourself. There’s more to it than just having a positive attitude. You must believe in yourself. The first thing you need to do is sit down with a piece of paper and start to write down the things at which you are genuinely good. For every skill or task that you OWN (and it doesn’t matter what it is), there is a way to put those abilities to good use and a way to make it your own personal success story. Now that you’ve done that, think about things you *love* to do. Make another column on your paper and begin to list things you really enjoy and could do every day for the rest of your life—and not dread going to work. Draw lines between things in your two columns that might go together. On my paper, I’d write “I’m good at organizing things” in one column and “I like to write.” They don’t seem to go together, but what if I began writing about getting organized? What if I started an email list with tips on how to get organized and wrote notes to encourage my subscribers? And then what if I started to talk to companies who would custom-make things for my subscribers to help keep them organized and began seeing profit from all of this?

Would you call that “success”? I would. So are you beginning to see how some creative thinking and listing your skills and passions can come together for success? I hope you’re learning to think outside the box in this exercise, because that’s what it takes.

So the moral of this story is that you CAN do this. You CAN succeed at this and you DO have what it takes to be successful. Go work on your lists and remember to think outside the box!

A positive mind and happy, upbeat attitude will help you succeed. A person living in a happy state generally gets much more in just everything they do. Bad attitude pulls you down and won't help you meet your goal. I agree with u ....I have some suggestion

1. Believe in Yourself
2. Set Goals
3. Develop a System
4. Stop Making Excuses
5. Hold Yourself Accountable
6. Tackle the Goals for Early Success
7 Create Your Own Luck

One of the most powerful tips for becoming successful in life is to believe that you’ll achieve your goals. If you do not believe in yourself, you will never make it. Remember the young man who came from a broken

home and made it all the way to the White House chanting, “Yes, we can”? If you believe in yourself and your ability to reach every goal you set forth, you’re sure to succeed!

"Doing doesn’t come from inspiration; inspiration comes from doing". If you keep doing what you've always done, you'll keep getting what you've always got. Try to do things differently with passion and perseverance and you'll get what you are looking forward to.

"What may just be your hobby or interest can be converted into a successful business proposal". The strength of a person lies in his/ her intuitiveness, and this should not be masked in the race to become a hardcore businessman. Learn to be unique, do things differently, be innovative and develop networking skills.

Modern races are won in the mind even before the actual race begins. This is true and this has happened in the case of Usain bolt, the Jamaican sprinter who came first in 100 meter race in the Olympics and put a positive face before the event began. His 2008 season began with his first world record performance – a 100 m world record of 9.72 s – and culminated in world and Olympic records in both the 100 m and 200 m events at the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics. His 2009 record breaking margin over 100 m is the highest since the start of digital time measurements. His achievements in sprinting have earned him the media nickname "Lightning Bolt". Winning in the mind even before the game has begun is the sure road to success. You should have a winning attitude in your entrepreneurial spirit. One should be willing to take risks in order to make a profit.

We should keep in mind that every successful effort begins with the first step and a focused leader. “When you enjoy doing something it becomes a passion and you don’t treat it like a job that needs to be dealt with. I have always enjoyed doing what I do. I am very passionate about my work. I have always tried to get totally involved with my work and the people I work with.

If you can dream it, you can do it.

If you possess foresight and business acumen, you’ll realize that the knowledge (Consulting) industry is poised to take off. Clearly this is an opportunity waiting to be tapped. All you need is the confidence and the determination to make a start and there’s no one more qualified to do this than yourself provided you believe in yourself.

Energy flows where the attention goes. Let your attention be focused with full of energy.

MANAGING STRESS

The consequences of allowing stress to rule our life are not only emotional. Physical structures throughout the human body take a beating. Tiny spines on the dendrites of brain nerve cells are worn away by the effects of stress hormones. Stress also affects the immune response and is associated with increased fat around the organs, which is a serious health risk. A zone at the tail-end of each chromosome, called a telomere, unravels as we age. In recent years, scientists have found that when we are under stress, telomeres come apart more quickly.


The good news: For most of us, avoiding this onslaught of harm may be as simple as spending focused time with loved ones, and learning to consciously dwell on the positive things in our lives. A life of contentment doesn’t come from external sources. We have to create it through our own thoughts and actions. People under chronic, extreme stress may require more involved interventions to avoid serious health effects. But taking a deep breath and appreciating what we have is a good first step for all of us.

As professionals, managers and leaders, what advice can you share with others about managing stress in your professional lives?

Whenever there is a disconnect between the world and our expectation of it, the outcome is stress. When there is a disconnect between our outer being and our inner being, once again the outcome is stress. Pretence and losing the connect from within again leads to stress.

The fight or flight syndrome is the biggest stress producer. The way to silence this is through:


a) Eating well and on time
b) Excersing: The excuse of having no time is a pattern of resistance
c) Spend time with friends and alone too (walk in the park is not a bad idea)
d) Keep learning and studying (a language, a new skill)
e) Sleep 7 to 8 hours
f) Criticise no one and blame no one; accept responsibility ALWAYS!
g) Speak less and only if you have to.
h) Wake up with a prayer and say something nice
i) Appreciate your spouse or partner and do more than you get
j) Try and go blank (let the noises in your head die out).

Stress, is more often than not self inflicted and leaves one with a feeling of being stuck in the rut. Losing one’s self esteem is stressful too and often comes when one feels threatened with ones surroundings or peers. So let go and empower your own self from within. There is nothing out there. We are all space time events and probabilities of existence; constructs of our own consciousness. But then our logical mind and our penchant for rational thinking always come in the way. That is a pattern too.

Stress produces Cortisol (negative emotion releases a biological toxic chemical called Cortisol) and causes pain. Smiling releases Serotomin a chemical that has a calming effect on your mind – the perfect antidote for stress.

If you worry about a trouble, it becomes double. But when you smile at it, it disappears like a bubble.

Yoga and meditation have long been known to help people eliminate stress, be mindful of others and approach situations with peace. Bringing those skills to our work environment can be a crucial factor in our personal and professional success.

We are worried about our physical future, financial future and family future and are materialistic. We call anxiety nowadays as “Stress”. We have to move from distress to destress for which we have to read Vedas. Vedas help us in discovering Peace, Security and Happiness. Saraha of Vedas is the Scripture called “Bhagavad Gita”. Bhagavad Gita gives peace, Security and Happiness. If we have all these three then Life becomes an asset. If we lack these three things then Life becomes a liability.

Thus we can see that Smile, Yoga and Meditation and reading Scriptures like Bhagavad Gita will help us confront life and destress ourselves. Let us take passion in whatever we do and also be happy with ourselves and create a stress free work.
