Fearless Dreams


Should you ask, "Am I asking for too much?", in any situation, either to yourself or to anyone, remember the answer - "Hell No!". Are there any limits to what one should expect, imagine, wish, dream or desire? I don't think so! Free yourself from all your fears. Be the radical center of dreamers.

People have become complacent with their habit of playing safe. How many people run their cars at the maximum speed even once in their life? They don't speak their heart out, they don't keep running until they feel like they are going to die, they don't share ideas and thoughts openly, they don't even imagine handling multiple tasks and projects. They just do their daily chores and hit the sack.
Go out on a limb! If you are not learning something each day, you are not playing with a full deck. Push the pedal to the metal man! Go and tell your boss you want multiple projects. If you are afraid your boss would think you are a flash in the pan, think, how many people achieve their targets? Maybe 10%? People don't even wake up at the targeted time every day. Very few goals fall in the six sigma limit. So why not take a chance?
Even if last year you did nothing of what you decided, double your goals this year. Improve your strategies. Understand how things work. It'll definitely work out for you. Work down to the wire. Avoid the common enemy - procrastination. Work on your discipline, determination and dedication. Whatever goals you set, set them so big that you must feel like it's insane when you set them in the first place. You want to be the president of 2 countries at the same time? Why not! Go on and see what can be done about it.



Do what you know you should do. Otherwise, in the end, you'll feel like you are up a blind alley. Develop new skills, improve your attitude, enhance knowledge. As soon as you find your feet in a situation, it's time to change the situation. That's how learning is done. Mark this, an attitude of excellence and not the necessity is the mother of all inventions. And inventions happen by dreaming about the possibilities, by radical thinking.

Go for broke! Rise and shine!

Who Stops You?



"I want to be successful."
"I want a luxurious life."
"I want to be famous."
"I want to be loved by everyone."
"I want to contribute wellness and positiveness to the society."
"I want to make everyone as happy as I am." said my right brain.
"Oh sure you can." said the left brain, "What stops you?"



I pondered over this dialogue for a while. I realized, actually there is no box, no limit. I can be, have or do anything and everything. And so can everyone else. Next question, then why everyone is not doing what needs to be done? Another relevant question to the right brain's demands was - " If all these things get turned into reality, wouldn't I be called the God? " This is where it got clear. I stop me. No one else, nothing else but me. Look at the God worshipers. They won't ever be able to become God. Why? Because they don't believe they are worthy. They don't believe they have the potential. Your belief, your love for Him is the biggest hurdle for you to be Him. I mentioned God here because He is an ideal example. You might be believing that you don't have enough to be as successful as your company's CEO or as impeccable musician as the one you follow or the best sportsperson ever. Your reverence for your ideals can be your barrier to surpass them.

When you see a successful person, the first thought that must come to your mind should be, "I want to be better than him." Because you can! All the Gods were humans depicted in the poems as the Gods, by humans. These days, we call them successful people. You can be one of them! Who knows, someday someone will make you his ideal and persevere to surpass your deeds. And even if he does, yet, trust me, you will be proud of yourself. Just believe it's possible, and focus your thoughts and energy to achieve your targets. It's that simple.

Go! Be the God!
