Do you get Angry? Well that might not be the appropriate question because everyone in the world does get angry. Different people react or respond differently to situations. Now firstly remember what/who causes the anger? Anger is an emotion that we experience and it is not created because of a situation or someone telling you something. It is just a response to some event that we choose. A response or a reaction that we choose. But most of the times even before we realize we get angry and the worst part of this is that we later feel guilty and have a vacuum inside. Remember most of the times when you get angry, it's the anger on self because you feel let down by yourself for not being in control of the situation. And then to show the anger on self you start screaming or shouting. And a little later you feel down, depressed and guilty. Why so? To draw a metaphor of this feeling, imagine that you have the anger inside you and it grows and becomes like a balloon. You just feel helpless of the situation and hence the feeling of anger grows inside you. As you keep on filling the balloon there is a threshold and at some time it burst. And the moment it bursts there is nothing left. And that's when you feel the lowest. Can you change it? Yes instead of reacting to situation, respond to it. The So What Attitude I have been practicing this for quite sometime now and it has been working for me. I call it the So What Attitude. When something goes wrong, you feel down and dejected and then this can intensify inside you as Anger. However there is a way of handling the same mistake that has been committed. You can just say to yourself 'So What'. This immediately makes you get disassociated with that even for that instant. Remember you are not running away from the event. You are just making the choice to respond rather than react. So when you say 'So what', you mellow down and then accept the mistake that has been done. You are in the right emotional state of mind, which will help you to act in the right way. The words that we use will greatly impact the state of mind.

I am sure you can start now! I cannot say stop getting Angry but Respond to Anger rather than reacting!
From Greatness to Excellence!
November 22, 2009
A growth of a person is not always exponential. Everyone at some point of time goes through a phase what I call as a "Plateau". That's when the growth is stopped, you perform the best but still you not rise above the expectations. This could be any area of life. It just takes a few important steps to follow to make sure that you get to the next level. Its just takes a small difference to make a huge impact. The Butterfly Effect:
Small variations of the initial condition of a dynamical system may produce large variations in the long term behavior of the system. (Source: Wikipedia) A small minor difference in your own life could make a huge impact later. This is true in every sense of it. When you want to achieve big you don't need to make big changes in life, it just takes a small and minute change in the way you are doing things to impact the final outcome. Look at this small example in the picture to the left where at the beginning of the lines the difference is so small. Yet look at the final outcome the difference between the two lines. Its huge right? It's the same impact that is created in life too. If we make a small difference in life, then we can achieve more. if we make the small difference of having to run 1 mile extra every day does it have a larger impact? More energy, fit body and so on. If we were to save an additional 10$ every day which is not much for a day, but in 10 years would mount to huge amounts (This is the mindset of a millionaire in fact). What does to take to make this change? Motivation? No its not motivation that is needed. Motivation is to make sure that you do beyond your perceived capabilities. But this minor change is not about motivation. Its is about
DISCIPLINE. Discipline is something that we might not like but is useful for us. That's Excellence in Life! If you need to shed 30 pounds you need motivation. If you were to have a 6 pack abs that need Discipline. That's moving from Greatness towards Excellence. How to identify this small change that you need
Its quite simple to identify the small change. In the area or the field that are striving for excellence, there are two zones in which operate. One is the Comfort Zone. We spend most of our time in the comfort zone. The comfort zone is where are have the highest security where we know that not many things can go wrong and also are achievable. Unfortunately we operate here with only 90% of our potential. In the comfort zone, there is no sense of uncertainty. What we need to do is just move of it and stretch. Once you move out of the comfort zone, reaching your excellence is much more easier and remaining in that Stretch zone is even more important. Easy way to stretch! A critical way to move towards excellence from greatness is by Performance Measure and having a feedback system. When you have a relative grading of your various activities, then you get into the groove of understanding what you must do and what is missing. Like I always say any Goal must be Measurable, else it can lead to a disaster. When you have a performance measure, having a Feedback system is even more important. Many people tend to forget the need for feedback mechanism. It becomes a fear for them to ask for feedback on their performance. I call it always 'Feedback' because when you get feedback, you can either take what you want or just ignore. Reviews, comments are not as good a feedback. Its just on your performance from someone who feels certain ways!
"If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters. Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude." - Colin Powell The Big Picture Story! Greatness to Excellence is more of the mindset. I know of people who say "sorry not now, I don't think we can do it" and so. My role model, Dhirubhai Amabani, a business tycoon said "I am deaf to the word 'no'". This lead him to greatness. He never used to like people coming to him with a NO, instead he wanted solutions. If a thought arises in our mind, then we can do something to achieve it, and it just takes perseverance to do it. Once you know what it takes to achieve excellence, find some way to make it happen! That's by stepping in to the stretch zone and doing more than what you can actually do. That will take you from greatness to excellence.
Why must you Live Happily?
September 15, 2009
Living happily is the probably the most wanted way of life and we struggle there not knowing what to do to be happy in life. We tend to be having lots of things in life and yet we are not happy. When people look at us from outside we seem to be too happy but its different in what we experience. Isn't it true? So whats the way to be happy in life. Is happiness a specific outcome of something yes. I have known many people who say that material things cannot get happiness and they never aim to get something for them. Their goals seem to be so small and that sense of achievement is never there and hence never happy. Being Materialistic cannot make you happy but atleast it will not make you depressed. Having a good bank balance is better off than being a popper. Atleast that will not make you unhappy, if not happy. You will atleast not feel depressed about not being to have the basic things of life. So being mateialistic cannot get you happiness what else can? If you need to know the 1 single reason it has to be Purpose. Because in life there will always be challlenges in life. You will never be without challenges. I have explained about this in many of my articles before on if you do not face challenges then it means that you are leading a very mediocre life. You are not leading a great life. Many people enjoy their challenges because its PURPOSE driven. The one reason that really makes people excited about what they do is the Contribution. Contribution to some major cause that makes them feel important. Unhappiness is also because of not having a sense of contribution. In the movie, "The Rocky", Rocky Balboa is pushed by his coach Apollo and only in the previous fight he would have lost to Clubber Lang. Rocky will not be able to give the best and will tire out soon during his practise sessions and thats when he understand the true purpose. For him the true purpose is just to prove himself that he is not a coward and can be a winner. Once he understand the
then we feel not so great about ourselves and we do not feel happy. So whenever you want to feel happy after you have done this exercise. Do this small exercise: Close your eyes and recall a time when you felt happy. This moment you can be happy thinking about the happiest moment of your life. The reason why many people do not feel happy inspite of what they have is beacuse many times they do not experience happines. And thats when he realizes that even if he fails he will atleast not be a victim and need not have excuses. This differs from person to person. I want you to intensify this picture how much ever you want.purpose he is very happy and enjoys what he is doing. Repeat this a few more times until your anchor becomes strong. Now our needs are more. Differnt people define this in differnt ways. Many self development authors and speakers have been saying that today life is so comfortable and we need to be happier than our fore fathers. (called as Achoring in NLP). If this basic need is not met. If you know what you want then you would always feel great about what you are doing and hence you can feel happy always. But let me tell you something. so our happiness is also an outcome of this. It is just not having 3 meals a day. See the pictures very clearly and hear whatever you heard that made you feel very happy. When you are purpose drive and give you 100% even if you do not get the results you feel satisfied and happy that you have given its best shot. True I do agree with that and the fact that we have a computerized world today which makes life easier and many more easiers ways of doing things with the ATM machines and mobile phones and so on. How do you define happiness? This cannot be a concrete answer. or feel sad about thinking the most disturbing things in your life. The stone age man just wanted food. Happiness is most of the times just a state of mind. So if thats ture why are we not happier than our stone age fore fathers? We all today need a basic lifestyle. is just to fire the anchor. hold 2 of your fingers the index and thumb together. a house and so on. Once you are there in that intense experience of happiness. that is hold your fingers and you will run the same experience and feel the same way! . Have you experienced this many times? Your conscience is clear that you have done your best. We have different needs at different times. Be in that experience as long as you want to and you can. Happiness is an experience that you can live whenever you want. its having a car. For few its a big luxury car and a bunglow.
Its just that your motivation must be after you feel . when you have fear of talking on stage (Public speaking) for example. You just cannot feel great and motivated always. And its so damn boring to be motivated always. It needs a great amount of balance. Well how I wish I too could be that way. So Certainty and Motivation go hand in hand... One question commonly asked by many "how do I stay motivated always". 2009 Lets face the fact. Its not about what happens but its how we react to it. Even a small child has its own worries and difficulties.You can't be Motivated always June 26. haha. you must not just have the motivation but also be certain about what you are saying. you also must be sure of the things that you are doing. A common phrase used by many is "Look that child. When you are motivated to do something. Well am I contradicting myself? I know yes. It's just not motivation for you to invest money in the stock market. I can only help you to understand that you can step into motivation whenever you want. wish I too was like that". but also be sure that you are doing the right thing and investing in the right company. without any worries. But in the first place why do you need motivation at all? How do you define motivation? Motivation is a state at which you can think high. Else you would be the laughing stock. Your motivation would be so high that you want take immediate action without knowing the consequences of the same. I am but not really true. take more action and be strong without much of fear. Sorry I don't have any strategy for making you feel motivated always. So motivation is a state that is needed when you need to take action on something that you feel is important. during which time you have fear. But is it always true? Well not really because your fear is also because of uncertainty. For example. When you are formulating a strategy if your motivation levels are too high then you would not really put efforts in evaluating your strategies on whether or not they are the right ones. I want to read the above 2 paragraphs again. However this is not a great state to have when you are doing something that needs a lot of thinking. for them not getting a candy can cause them worries and feel sad. I would also always add up the state of motivation with a state of CERTAINTY.
After that you must feel that sense of motivation to break the barrier of fear. Articles in the website. You must be first sure of what you want and do and then beat the fear. In each of my news letter I share a quote followed by a learning from the quote. For example. 2009 Today is not going to be a writing an empowering post or an email but this post will be of a self reflection. That's when a voice inside of your head says "Oh my! Will I fail? Will I do well?".certain. 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. Interviewing successful people. So just be motivated when you want to. 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. like how specifically they achieved success in any area of their life. Got it? Motivation is only to beat the fear. Over the years I have been sharing lots of my learning through various medium. So be motivated when you need to and then achieve great things in Life! You can't stay motivated always and you don't need to be. (If you wish to subscribe to my newsletter visit the home pagehttp://lifeofexcellence. you must be certain that yes what you are doing is the right and will yield you results. Podcast. Are you the Driver or the Passenger in the BUS? March 23. (My videos are also coming up shortly) In most of the email I also share some quotes of successful people. when you are investing. what is wrong and invariable we know the solutions to the various challenges what we face or we know how to . So your certainty comes first. 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.com) You know the interesting fact about human life? We all know what is right. If you being to use the same techniques and formula will you also achieve the desired results.
Why? It's a million dollar question. When you buy a car. This is quite annoying. You know one thing that I really cannot understand is this. We pour all the rubbish in our mind and start questioning. Few of them smoking. When people ask for help and when they are given a solution. Why we do not do something or why we do certain things that are not good for us.". The moment you know that you have the spark and you need to do it then make it happen. Before you close the browser and the website. They go like "BUT…. 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. Just do it and experience the difference in your life too. what are the 5 most important things for which you feel that you must take action today. Live with Passion always and attain SUCCESS in LIFE. you just start using it and yield the results right. Why does one have to re-invent the wheel when its already done. Don't we know that we must not do it? During my various Personal Coaching Sessions I tell my client. I am typing this while sitting at a restaurant at Kuala Lumpur. Malaysia (I came here for a training program) having my breakfast. What you need just a SPARK! I love that when it happens and it does not always happen. Instead they being to question it. You may also drop that as a comment for this post. few not able to resist the temptation and so on. today is the day. . I just got the spark to write this post when I just doing eating my breakfast. But we fail to do it. Same way in life you need to have some trust and move on and get it working for you. There is always a spark waiting right in front of your eyes. 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. I say "Ask you head to SHUT UP". List down top 5 things that you have learnt from this website over a period of time. few people eating more than what is desired. The only thing you need to do is to ensure that you keep your eyes open for these. do you test if the tyre is made right and will it work fine and is it built in the right way? No right. lets do a small exercise. doubt the action and do nothing in the process. As you write them down. one must just put it into action and do it. "DO IT". you never have an answer for it. You can just be what you are and still get the spark. But trust me you don't need to press hard for the SPARK to happen.break the plateau and move on to the next level. So for all those decisions that you have taken in the past.
In fact like how you want to know how to wake up early there are many of them who suffer from not being able to sleep early. I know you would have seen many such posts that talks about rising up early in the morning. Yeah its true. Spend time reading 4. I'll definitely share the same formula with you too. what not to do and things like that. Be more productive do more 8. Improve your skills 5. This is not a post where I talk some medical stuff to you on what to eat. But before that please answer this question? Why do you want to get up early in the morning? Not getting up early is it a disorder? No way. But honestly I have tested many and they do not seem to work. I am sure many of you reading this also will go through the same. if there is one formula for waking up early. its drive. So wondering how to bring about the fire? . Pursue a hobby Is it one or more of these reasons? Now is it so very important for you to wake up then. But before you move on I definitely want you to answer WHY? 1. Honestly let me tell you. it's the FIRE. Honestly that was just sheer laziness and nothing else. Insomnia as it is called. More money 3. 2008 I used to hate waking up early in the morning and I used to boast around that I up late in the nights so I cannot wake up in the morning. why don't you do it? What's stopping you? Honestly. Time with family 6. Want a 6 pack abs 7. it's not so damn difficult to wake up early in the morning.How to stop hating Morning Alarms December 9. Health 2. But then I put something simple in my mind and then it started working.
because if its good enough then you would not want to read this on how to wake up early in the morning. then we can do anything. is that they do not find a purpose. If I tell you that you need to run out of the room where you are sitting right now. If you notice that beyond an age there are lots of people who start exercising which they restrained from doing otherwise. a wake up call. is probably some of the emotions that are needed. motivation. If I were to tell you that there is Fire in the room. So you must have a deep sense of purpose for you to do something. So the purpose is even more higher! So you need to find the true purpose for you to wake up in the early in the morning! Isn't exercising every day a good enough purpose? I know you have this question right! Yes its not good enough. then you run out instantly. Energy. So what you must do is to create a picture of how you will wake up in the morning. It has about having the deep desire to achieve anything. This is Purpose! And Purpose is what creates a fire inside of you. When you . then you might think (I know few people will run for this ). Emotions lead to actions! Useful emotions. they would fall in the trap of ill health. This is a pattern as we call it in NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming). For this however there are many ways of achieving the same especially using NLP. which in turn lead to an emotion and hence action. Why people do not wake up on time. If you said the reason for you to wake up in the morning is one of the above (or even something else that's important). If I tell you there is some tasty ice cream waiting for you. 1. useful actions! So waking up in the morning is all about the emotions. you must associate the picture with the trigger. you might not do. When we put an alarm to wake up in the morning. Intensify the same picture of you waking up in the morning with full energy. someone calling you or you just realizing and waking up all of a sudden (I know this is not right). meaning the doctor would have advised that if they were not doing that.The fire is not something that can be developed. The trigger could be an alarm. This trigger has to be associated with a sense of motivation. Our mind works only on emotion and no on Logic! If we are emotionally charged and motivated.For you to wake up in the morning you need something called a Trigger. then you need to have that deep desire to achieve it. Once you do this. So you must practice this for a couple of times. Creating the Pattern in your Mind . there is a NLP Pattern that is fired that runs pictures in our mind. its is because that they would have had a disaster in life. What emotions are useful for you to wake up in the morning.
4. Be an early riser and feel energized every day! . give this amazing thought to your conscious and subconscious mind that you are an "EARLY RISER" and you will wake up early in the morning! Practice this and attain absolute mastery to wake up early in the morning. 3. And slowly you will start getting used to the pattern of having to wake up early.You must have to change the identity of what you are now. This will make them to sit up late and they never feel sleepy or tired end of the day! For a late riser too it's the same. Every day as you go to bed. With this you are just creating a new purpose for waking up in the morning. 2. they cannot accept themselves. Do this a dozen or more time so that the association between the alarm and you waking up becomes higher. Allow the alarm to ring and when the alarm is ringing. because repeatedly over the period of time you have been labeled as a late riser. then just forget it and be happy about what you are doing and if you badly want to wake up.are wide awake. Tapping your Subconscious . This in one way will not make you accept to be an early riser. the identity is that you are a late riser. Ask them to wake you every day in the morning and go for a walk along with them. For them if they sleep early. do this exercise. If you are a person who is already happy with what you are doing and you do not really want to wake up. This is a driving force for you again to do it. you attach the same identity for yourself which will go against you when you want to wake up early. then this is the best for you. One piece of warning is that all this will work. So feed your subconscious mind with the new belief that you are an early riser. Commit to Others – ask your loved ones to do the needful. If you do something for atleast 2 weeks continuously then the chances of you continuing is much more higher. create the picture of you waking up which you already know and intensify the same. only when you really want to. It's the same for people who sleep late too. Force Yourself – This is just to create a pattern in yourself again. For you right now.
As the athlete he does not bother about what his muscles are capable of. If you have the right mindset of winning. You do not think of the fact whether you are capable or not. You never think and say "let me score only 2 goals and stop the opponent from scoring 1 goal" and so on. . Remember Roger Bannister.(Strength Vs Stretch) August 12. This made him to understand what truly he was capable of and made others also believe that they are capable. but believed more on his instincts and achieved the feat. What do you mean by capabilities? There is one concrete definition of Capability that I give "Its about what you think you are capable of". A Olympic sprinter does not know whether he is going to better this record or in what time he is going to complete and he just rushes and pushes himself to the best possible extent. you don't look at the strengths of the team or the weakness of the team and still want to beat the rest! Now can this same happen for your life too? If you wish to and want to. That's a paradox right! We never know our capabilities until we test out whether something is possible or not. You want the best.'The Rubber Band Broke' . If every time you think this is my strength you can never achieve. however strong you are you still want to defeat the audience and by the biggest margin possible. by stretching yourself far behind your expectations and your capabilities. 2008 Firstly people wonder what can I do and what I am capable of doing and then they think about what one should achieve and one should not. when the entire world were pronouncing that running 1 mile of distance in less than 4 minutes was not possible. he was one who did not bother much about the strength and capabilities. If you desire you reach great heights. the highest ever. and would risk the heart to burst. Will this lead you anywhere? In my previous post "How to Build the Muscle of Life" I had written about how should one identify the strengths and play life like a game? Do you always do that or do you seem to curtail yourself from the best? Imagine you play a game (I love this metaphor and hence use it more often).
you waste your energy of your brain by passing these negative commands. You do not go by the blind belief which might not be useful for you. What is the difference between an person who has a small restaurant at the corner of the road and the giant Colonel Sanders of KFC? Is it about their strengths? Its is about Colonel Sanders willingness to stretch. but it's not so easy". It is more likely a function of our beliefs about who we are. he never would had the thought of Can I do it? "Capability means imagination" – Napoleon Hill Let me tell you as to why I can relate myself to this so much. but in a close group after people attend my Born To Win training program and so are framed up about my skills of NLP.Say you want achieve something in life and then plan with same and carry out certain action steps. Just that you must be in complete control of the fear and not fear control you. This in itself will drive you to greater heights. You don't necessarily say the same words. But when you practical you have make sure that its also a stretch. "What we can or cannot do. but definitely pass on this message to your subconscious mind and then you take a step backward. is rarely a function of our true capability. This will automatically drive you negatively and never take action towards achieving Success in life. When this is not really true. When you make a choice of your Goals and your targets. Its your belief that will want to you take past your goals. I decided to carry out an exercise of a Live Phobia Cure. You must have certain amount of practicality in what you do. You must do more than what you can. they must be like "Yes I can achieve it. what we consider possible or impossible. how will I do it. Fear sometimes is useful because that's when you work hard to achieve. Having an engineering degree cannot make you a doctor." – Anthony Robbins Your goals are not defined by your strength. . While he must had the fear. I have done this before. the biggest test of my skills on NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming). When you confront fear then you stretch and achieve more than what you think are your strengths. half way through you begin to analyze and think that this is what is possible for you and hence you are not capable. Recently I had a mind blowing experience.
The Master chuckled and then asked the young man to take another handful of salt and put it in the lake." spat the apprentice. you know that you can do it even lesser than X. "How does it taste?" the Master asked. 2008 I want to recall a very interesting story that I happened to read The old Master instructed the unhappy young man to put a handful of salt in a glass of water and then to drink it. But this was new and different. When first I was deciding to do it. Only after you lift 50 kgs of weight and do some bench press do you know that you can even do 70 or even 100. This experience of mine. where I had to chose a person from the audience who I am meeting for the first time and then cure the Phobia. it limits your Success. Spread beyond boundaries to achieve more. I shared not to impress you but to impress upon that anything is possible with the right strategy.Was indeed easier. If you were to work with your strengths and limitations. and I did have a concern but never allowed that overtake me and achieve it! This is working against your strengths and stretching to achieve more. . its not about my strengths.' or '…………. When you know that you can run a kilometer in X minutes.' pain ? July 22. Guess what did I use for curing the Phobia? A Live snake! This was a great experience for me and I did achieve it. "Awful. but I also believed that I could do it. Only when you do and take action do you really understand what you are truly capable and what you can achieve. Achieve the best in Life! Hey! In Life do you '…………. Your muscles begin to build more and you become stronger to take a chance of carrying more weight on your shoulder. as the word itself goes. It was a stretch.
That's the point I want to drive in here. incidents? Do these create pain? But how? Before your proceed reading I want you to list down the top reasons why you experience pain. I am not saying that your pain is nothing and it cannot impact you but there are people who change the way they look at things. exactly the same. and how do they impose the pain in you? And thirdly is things don't happen the way you want to take responsibility and change the way you are doing things rather than feeling the pain and not moving forward in life. The amount of pain in life remains the same." As the water dripped down the young man's chin. the only thing you can do is to enlarge your sense of things…. father/mother. Stop being a glass. the old man said. people. Events 3. "Do you taste the salt?" asked the Master. Environment and things not happening the way you want it to? Can you tell me how do people create pain. we are talking about mental pain. Most of the times we assume that they have an intention of creating pain and hence we bear that pain and not able to talk to the concerned person. If that's true how can they create pain? So where does the pain exist and where does the pain arise from? Events create pain? How can events create pain? We choose the events and most importantly the events have already happened and without control. "No.. and said. boss or whoever be it have an intention of creating pain for you? Incidentally these are people who really are bothered about you. Now check the reasons what you have cited fall under these broad categories 1. People 2. So when you are in pain. "How does it taste?" "Good!" remarked the apprentice. are there people who truly mean to hurt you and make you feel bad? Does your wife. The kind of pain what we undergo every day in life is nothing compared to what many people face in their life." said the young man. But the amount we taste the 'pain' depends on the container we put it into. Become a lake!" I am not here talking about the Physical Pain but the mental pain and agony that we go through in our lives. the Master asked. "The pain of life is pure salt. Physical pain is of no choice and we can over come with various pain killers. The Master sat beside this troubled young man. "Now drink from the lake. Situations. Let me ask you this. no more. How do you come out of the pain of life? What creates the pain? Events. no less. Please do this as this is very important for you to move on this post I hope you are reading this after listing down the pain you are going through. But where is the 'pain killer' for your mind? Unfortunatly pharmacies do not sell them. . took his hands. brother. They might think that you are crazy and asking for a pain killer. the feeling of pain. Again reiterating its not physical pain.The two walked in silence to the nearby lake and when the apprentice swirled his handful of salt into the lake.
Truly yes he had a greater advantage. He could not do anything about his amputation as he was born with some deficiencies. Its about how he reacted to the pain he was having. And guess what happened? The federations of athletics ruled him out from participating in races because he was using an external device to make him run better. .Have you heard of this person by name Oscar Pistorius? He is the fastest man with no legs. How do we approach it and how do we make sure that we do not allow the pain to affect us? Few simple ways to achieve this 1. the advantage of having the "MINDSET" to look at the brighter side of life and not let go the pain take over him. However he was not allowed to do so. Looks like the federation felt that he had a greater advantage. How to come out of pain? All said and done we still face the pain for sometime because we are not driven by logic. He participated in several races including the race for able bodied. They do not understand the consequence behind what they say or do and hence you feel hurt. So whenever someone hurts you.

This puts you in the compulsion to eat the same. You must have to change the thoughts and the outcome of the thoughts to avoid the action. where as these habits are because of constantly conditioning ourselves towards the actions. Many are under the perception that the change would only be temporary and so why bother about something that is bound to come back? This again is a conditioning of the neurons and it is imperative that we change the whole system of thinking. Its emotions that drive action and these emotions are formed because of the certain pictures. the chocolate smelling good. eating junk food is because of a conditioning of the neuro system which is programmed to understand that the junk food is so tasty and make you feel good.procrastinating and many many more. it melting in your mouth and so on. Remember your mental state is what drives to take action and you can control your mental state. The moment you create these kind of favorable representations in . This is called the TRIGGER. you wish to stop eating chocolates (I have seen many people who wish to do this and hence the same example) and you are not able to do the same. Does this differ from person to person? Definitely yes and that's why your liking does not match with everyone else. sounds and feelings that we have. Logic does not determine action because if that was the true then every person in the world would be perfect and can chose what they want to do and what they do not wish to do. Probably you run pictures of you enjoying the taste. Say for example. Understand that any habit is because of 1) the thoughts that run in the mind 2) the feeling that you sense because of the thoughts (these are called triggers) and 3) the way you program the mind to react to that feeling. The general feel is that these habit appear from nowhere all of a sudden. you must have to program your mind to stop craving for the same. We do not care about this feeling and it keeps growing and when the intensity is at its peak we realize and wish to change it forever. Its only because of how we perceive it internally in the Neuro system. Why do people not change these habits? Because many believe that they are struck with this bad habit and are of the strong belief that nothing can be done to change the habit. For example. The very fact of that junk food existing would send ripples in your neuro system and acts accordingly. The moment you see a chocolate (of any food or any event) you run pictures of how it would be if you were to eat it.
It is REACTION that causes the frustration. Make it feel some 100 times more so that you do not pick up the chocolate immediately. Step 3: Install the new identity: Feelings and beliefs are because of identity. Change these representations of the trigger. There is another way you can handle the same event. feel is so hard and thorny in your mouth and so on. the chocolate is the trigger and you perceive it in a certain way. internalize to yourself that you have changed and create a new pattern and the older neuro pattern that's strong in the system is broken and hence will never be created again. Following the 3 steps will ensure that you program the perception or the neuro pattern and hence the linguistic or the communication component. melting inside your mouth and so on. Make the chocolate smell bad. Instead of reacting. The moment you RESPOND to the event rather than reacting you never get frustrated. What is frustration? Frustration is the act of reacting to an event which is not desirable. The immediate action is impulsive and you react immediately. However sometimes we let this frustration take over that hampers our activities and actions. If creating bad ones and easy creating new useful habits is much more easy. Once you feel different intensify the same feeling. You are no longer so compulsive to take the chocolate and eat. I would like you to spend sometime on what I have mentioned Frustration is. you do not have time to think on that and decide how to handle the situation. Remember the event has already occurred which . This will give you utmost certainty. it must be at the peak to ensure that you break the threshold. that you have new fresh and good habits too. Step 2: Intensify the new feeling: Since you have changed the perception of the trigger. We as humans always experience frustration in our daily lives. So once you have stopped yourself from holding to the habit. The moment an event occurs you do not ponder on that. Importantly when you are changing the perception of the trigger. the feeling automatically changes. Smelling good. you could RESPOND to the same event. You do not stop a habit because you see yourself holding to the habit. you tend to be motivated to take an action immediately and hence grab the chocolate and eat it too (later feel guilty ) Changing the Habit Step 1: Change the way you perceive the Trigger: In this example.your mind. And every time you do this to yourself you stop the old bad behavior and start creating new one. 2008 I am yet to see someone who says "I never get frustrated". Handling Frustration January 11.

As you look at event and tell yourself "This event has already happened and is inevitable". Moments before the outburst of emotions and frustration there is a process that is involved. "This is so pathetic and life of so unfair" and so on…. you would only respond and not react.means that you cannot do anything about the event now. blame yourself and scream at yourself you only end up feeling worse. Have you ever asked "What must I do to come out of this?" . Though some do suggest that giving vent to these feelings is good and acceptable I do not authenticate this theory as the ramifications are very high. 3 most important points that you must have in mind to manage frustration – 1) Accept the fact that getting frustrated is a common human act. I sometimes advocate frustration and a certain amount of frustration is always good because it means that you are expecting better results from yourself. to be in the thick of things for achieving your outcomes. If you start looking at events as events that cannot be avoided and has already occurred then you ponder for solutions rather than disturbing yourself by reacting. Recall the last time you were frustrated and look at all the questions you asked yourself. You run picture of the event in your mind that leads to an intensive helpless state and fires as frustration. Interestingly you can consciously get angry and get angry and frustrated by reacting to an event. which is an advantage for you. 2) Learn from the frustration and move forward instead of getting worked on it 3) Start creating a new belief for yourself that there are other better ways of handling situations that you are aware of You are so much involved and totally associate with the event that frustration crops up and then it just runs through you. If you were to curse yourself. And you have a Choice to respond the way you want to. You want more for yourself and hence get frustrated. This is self sabotage.

This is the easiest way to change the feeling of frustration. You need to step out of yourself and look at things from a 3rd persons view. But when you do not get the desired results you must do the devils advocate. which means that you are disassociating yourself and you would tend to look at solutions rather than feel frustrated and have the feeling of let down.

Invariably expectations from people is what makes us angry. We walk in to our work place expecting things to happen and as they do not happen because of certain people not working on them. All that happens has a purpose and has a positive intention. Ask your self "why the hell is this happening?" and experience how you feel. You can focus on the positive intentions. It is still possible and easy to overcome anger. The communication channel that you establish between the thoughts and the response is so fast that you are not aware of how this happen.

Do you get angry with yourself?
August 9, 2007
I wonder, is it worth getting angry. When I do my trainings on NLP, I am asked how to control anger. Anger is an emotion, its a state of mind which can be controlled and which can be avoided. It is very important that you are in control of you state and that's what will fetch the right kind of results. But how getting angry with yourself? Can you turn Anger into Motivation? yes! isn't that wonderful. I think for the first time you are seeing someone saying get angry more. Why? Think about the reasons in the past when you have been angry with yourself. It is because that you are not happy with your performance, or the quality of the work that you did. It just means that you expected more out of yourself. Can this be a powerful driving force to achieve more? Whenever you are getting angry you are informing your Subconscious mind that you can do better and you can achieve more. This only means that, the next time you do something you expect the best out of you and you start doing the best. This is simple yet powerful. So when you get angry with yourself, its ok and you are just giving commands to your subconscious mind "Be the Best always"

Never Settle for Ordinary and Less
July 27, 2007
It is important that we always achieve high and one of the best ways to do it is increase the level of acceptance. When we start doing things we get results and over a period of time there is a possibility that
we start thinking, "This is what I am destined for". This puts in a mental state of accepting low from yourself. This will never take you anywhere. A key to Success is by raising your own standards, you own level of acceptance. Never settle for the ordinary in life, then there is no meaning in Life. It might be a struggle but the end results is what matters the most. Successful people I have seen never settle for the less or the ordinary. Definitely, being ordinary and settling for less will give you the comfort, the surety and the security. But that will never make you grow, will never help to be big. You dream big you achieve big. Few things that you must have to do to life up to your expectations Always keep increasing your own standard. Today if you did 100 then tomorrow you must do at least 105. This will push you every day. Continuously improve on your performance. In every aspect look for improvements. Your objective might be met and still there is a huge amount of improvement always persisting Have small term, medium and a long term Goals. Stretch yourself so as to set higher goals for yourself Know the purpose. You must know as to what drives you and why and for what you need to achieve anything. Dream Big, Achieve Big
Withstand the Pain of Not achieving…
July 15, 2007
Is it very important to withstand the pain of not achieving what we want? Definitely YES!. I always wondered if there are ways in which you can avoid the Pain. But you expect something big from yourself then you must have to bear that pain. Whenever you want to achieve success and gain out of it, you need to work for it. During the process you go through several stages. You go through the learning stage. When you do something for the very first time then you need to learn the strategy to achieve the same. Alternatively you can also model other people and learn their strategies and take action to get the results when you want. Many times when you are learning something new for the first time there is a possibility of Confusion. This is a very important stage where you need to have a solid mindset that YES i am determined to learn and achieve. There are a few people who tend to say "This is not for me", "this is for only experienced guys!" and many more. This really will pull you down, which means you need to withstand and learn and move forward. As you learn a very important step is that of "ACTION". This is where many people fail. I train thousands of people every year, ranging from a 9 year old kid to 75 year old people. Everyone come into my training
program and learn many new strategies and techniques and then realize that yes these will work wonders in life when implemented. And majority of them really take action. Thats what really gets them success. Now when you take action there is no guarantee that you will get your desired result, in fact there is no guarantee that the strategy that you adopt will work and that's when you get into this stage of Frustration. When Frustration creeps in there are 2 choices that you have and 2 ways in which you can treat the frustration 1. Give Up - Which is what many people do 2. Have the focus and move forward with the commitment to yourself that "YES! I am determined to achieve". When you take massive action there is a possibility that you don't get the result you feel so painful. But this pain is temporary. If you withstand this pain then sure you will have long terms benefits. I know people who are not willing to bear this pain and make the choice 1 and give up. Later when they see others achieving then realize "Oh God I must have done that". Its too late and its highly pain staking and its more painful. These short temporary pains are just to test people and the one who survive it are the ones who create history for themselves.
Resources =/= Results
July 5, 2007
Many times I am asking this question. "How do you manage to produce such exceptional results in life". Simple I take Consistent Action. Its not about the resources that we have that makes us successful and achieve things. Its the kind of action that we take that makes a huge difference. Remember Henry Ford, the founder of "Ford Motors". What made him successful was the simple reason that he took action to achieve big. He started Ford because of the Passion he had for machines. Many people have the needed resources. You see many engineers who are so good in their area of expertise, yet the struggle to achieve. We all have the resources and we can tap them as and when we need. But if you don't take action for what you have then the resources are useless. RESOURCES =/= RESULTS RESOURCES + ACTION = RESULTS. If you ought to get some resources then you need take action for it. You might have all the ingredients of a recipe. If you don't use these ingredients then there is no dish that is churned out. You have the ingredients, the resources. Take ACTION to reap the results.

A Rocket knows that it has to land at the moon and without fuel in the tank the rocket does not move. Its like Fuel to a propeller. Fame. Money. leadership as a wisdom needs to be achieved. Few reasons why Values are a Must 1. Family etc. and you are caught between the two. You know your desired outcomes and your goals. then your don't get anywhere near the goals. This really makes us worry for the simple reason that we are not sure of what to do. Leaders are made. Greatness can be achieved. 2007 Many times I am posed with this question are leaders born? No. There was a time when I met this teacher in a school who was talking to her kids in class on what leadership and what a leader must be. situations that you want: You would only consider those people or situations that support your values. For Making decisions: Many times we are caught between making a decision of what to do in life. You will achieve the best. An example could be that you would want to stay at home on a Sunday and spend time with your family. It will help you move forward with immense confidence and ultimate peace and satisfaction for having done something based on your values So start writing your values today and learn more about yourself.

Many times we do not want to step out of the zone of comfort. The next time you feel stretched and uncomfortable. Our mind behaves in the same way. Cheers to the Leader in You!!

They feel let down by themselves and in the process feel lousy and do not act upon anything. From the cocoon. I am learning and I am growing". then you are not out to stretch yourself. the more you stretch the more it expands and you let go the rubber band it comes back but not to its same position. then you know that we must stretch ourself beyond our own expectations. It stretches itself way beyond its capabilities. We want to do and achieve more but we refuse to step out of the comfort zone.
