Are you the Driver or the Passenger in the BUS?

March 23, 2009

Today is not going to be a writing an empowering post or an email but this post will be of a self reflection. Over the years I have been sharing lots of my learning through various medium, Articles in the website, Podcast, Interviewing successful people, My daily email new letter has been consistently reaching thousands of emails every day for the last over 100 days without fail and many more. (My videos are also coming up shortly)

In most of the email I also share some quotes of successful people, like how specifically they achieved success in any area of their life. The entire existence of NLP is based on modeling successful people in various aspects of life and that’s what I have been doing time and again. In each of my news letter I share a quote followed by a learning from the quote.

My question for you today is “how much of that do you really put in use?” Why and how do you plan to use all these techniques and learning in your own life?

The main objective behind me using these quotes or writing various articles is not just simply to motivate you but make you understand that successful people had certain formula of success and that’s the key differentiating factor. If you being to use the same techniques and formula will you also achieve the desired results. (If you wish to subscribe to my newsletter visit the home page http://lifeofexcellence.com)

You know the interesting fact about human life? We all know what is right, what is wrong and invariable we know the solutions to the various challenges what we face or we know how to break the plateau and move on to the next level. But we fail to do it. Why? It’s a million dollar question. Why we do not do something or why we do certain things that are not good for us, you never have an answer for it. I am typing this while sitting at a restaurant at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (I came here for a training program) having my breakfast. Few of them smoking, few people eating more than what is desired, few not able to resist the temptation and so on. Don’t we know that we must not do it?

During my various Personal Coaching Sessions I tell my client, “DO IT”. They go like “BUT….”. I say “Ask you head to SHUT UP”. We pour all the rubbish in our mind and start questioning. You know one thing that I really cannot understand is this. When people ask for help and when they are given a solution, one must just put it into action and do it. Instead they being to question it, doubt the action and do nothing in the process. This is quite annoying. Why does one have to re-invent the wheel when its already done. When you buy a car, do you test if the tyre is made right and will it work fine and is it built in the right way? No right, you just start using it and yield the results right. Same way in life you need to have some trust and move on and get it working for you.

What you need just a SPARK! I love that when it happens and it does not always happen. But trust me you don’t need to press hard for the SPARK to happen. You can just be what you are and still get the spark. The only thing you need to do is to ensure that you keep your eyes open for these. There is always a spark waiting right in front of your eyes. I just got the spark to write this post when I just doing eating my breakfast.

The moment you know that you have the spark and you need to do it then make it happen. So for all those decisions that you have taken in the past, today is the day. Just do it and experience the difference in your life too.

Before you close the browser and the website, lets do a small exercise. List down top 5 things that you have learnt from this website over a period of time. How are you planning to use these 5 things that you have learnt and how do you want to implement the same in your life too. You may also drop that as a comment for this post. As you write them down, what are the 5 most important things for which you feel that you must take action today. For that too you can drop a comment in this post and I am sure all the readers including myself will push you in completing these small tasks. Live with Passion always and attain SUCCESS in LIFE.

The things I learned, I m not even thinking what to write….I m just writing what’s just bubbling right now on my mind…. I know I have learned many many things…. And I cannot list em all…so…

1. Anything is possible it is a question of right strategy
2.There are no failures only feedback
3.Choices have consequences
4.20 years from now, I m gonna regret for the things I didn’t do today… So I have to get the best out of my days…Everyday….

The things that have helped me, I mean which I have used are… 1, 2, 3…
Now I have a strong belief in my self and the super power nature…which guides us all… I believe everything in this world happens for a reason….. Take things the way it comes… And whatever you are up against and running behind or climbing up or fighting for or loving for or crying for…. is for a reason…and that will make stronger, faster and lovable person…. And I did understand that, in life everything we do… and everything we think is all about the people we roam with… So now I always attract the positive people arond me as am I…

Thanks praveen… May Super power nature bless you to do more…

Hi Praveen,

I learnt from you are,
1. Thought can change mind our mind and motivate us for doing our best.
2. To live life 100% and be happy
3. Sucess is inside ourselve, we don’t have to search here or there, but just look inside ourselves.
4. Remove our nagative thoughts, with a positive one
5. For sucess we have to put our best effort for favourable results.

I write down all beautiful quote in onenote book of MS office and read this quatation time to time and get the best result from this.
I also made a folder in my inbox for checking your thoughts time to time.
I am also sending this thought to my office people as thought of the day to take maximum use of your thought.
i apply this thought in routine life in every thing we do in our day to day activity to improve my thinking level.

Dear Praveen,

Every morning i xpect and wish some great stuff from you and everyday i get more than what i xpect. The messages are really strong and very inspiring. Its all the state of mind one get in office and starts his day. For some it may be good full of energy for some it would be a bit slow, for some not tht great but nevertheless i have the solution to change the perspectives for many as i use these wonderful inspiring quotes to motivate my team members and believe i get a superb response from the team.

There are really some stories which are really very good.

On a personal note i have implemented some of the changes in me and it is really making some difference on the personal as well as professional front.

Thanks for all your efforts, Hope it would continue for years to come.

Best & Warm Regards,
Vijay Vishwakarma
