Attain Success the Natural Way!
To be where you are requires “you” to be totally present. It is not true that “you” are where your body is. Children are in the field playing while their bodies are at the study desk. Spiritual evolution demands your attention, your intention, your devotion to the single goal of life, to be fully aware of your indwelling Atman, your Self, and to be who you truly ARE. There is no shortcut to Truth, for Truth needs you totally.
All of it starts with simple practices that build your confidence, “I can”. Most people give their best and if what they want does not happen, then the confidence level starts to wane, thoughts like “Somehow things are not happening and maybe I am not fit for it”, take possession of mind’s space, and once these negative thoughts are allowed to breed in the ground of mind, it is like a wild bush, they grow at random.
Mindfulness works wonders in life. Take some deep breaths when you are caught by this negative emotional intelligence, flow with the breath for a while, count your incoming breath and your outgoing breath, taking your attention to the most powerful natural tool that God has given you, your breath. It is magical. Instead of flowing unconsciously with the negative self-criticism and condemnations, wake up, assert your inner lion, roar, and connect to your Spiritual Source, and the pathway is your Own Breath.
You will see the thoughts are changing, the unpleasant atmosphere within is changing, and you are calming down. Now, impregnate the most powerful Affirmations that you would like to see happen in life. They do work, provided you put the seed in the right ground, not a rocky one.
Don’t accept defeat till you are defeated. Never give up!
