Motivational Monk

You should always have a focus on who is ahead of you. It will give you a clear idea of why he is ahead. One of the key factors to get successful is to observe the people who succeded in life, try to figure out what principles they follow on a regular basis, and then apply the same in your life. The principle of success as Carnegie Andrew quoted, is definite, they are real, and they can be learned by anyone willing to take to study and apply them. If you are keenly observant, you will figure out that every person whom you encounter in day to day life will teach you something. And the fun fact is that it's not even necessary that you know them. You can also choose some great people who are no longer alive. You can go through there life summary study their lives and then try to apply in your own life. The principles these people used to achieve greatness may also help you to give a push in your life. Don't follow anyone but you can learn from everyone.

Happiness is a state of mind !! One is born in a first-class hospital, the other is delivered at home, both survived. One went to a private primary school and the other to a public school, both ended in the same high school. One woke up from the bed and the other woke up on the floor, both had a peaceful sleep. One has expensive attire, the other simple and cheap, both still cover their body. One ate fried rice and roasted chicken, the other ate homemade rice n dal but both filled their hunger. One drives a Lexus, the other uses public transport but both reached their destination. One may be reading this blog of Motivational Monk from a Samsung, iPhone X and the other on an ordinary Smartphone, but all can see the same message. Lifestyle is not a competition, various lanes lead to the same destination. Just because our neighbor has amassed material possessions, it does not mean that we are a failure. "Happiness is a state of mind, not a set of circumstances"

There are 7.4 billion people in our world; people of different colors, personalities, thoughts, and faiths. Not one person is exactly like another. Now, within this large variety of beautiful people in our world, what sets you apart? Amongst everyone else, YOU MATTER BECAUSE... 1. You are wonderfully made… you’re exactly who you are meant to be. 2. You have #greatness within you… you're filled with unique talents, a splendid spirit, and unmatched potential. 3.

Every SUCCESSFUL person has a PAINFUL STORY , So never GIVE up... A school BELL that SOUNDS as a DISTURBANCE at 7:45 Am also sounds INTERESTING at 2pm, Is just a MATTER of TIME , So don't ENVY anyone... Not EVERYONE walking FAST has an APPOINTMENT , Some have running STOMACH ... If a ROSE smells better than TOMATOES , It doesn't mean the ROSE can make a better STEW ... Don't try to COMPARE urself to others... You also have ur own STRENGTH , Look for it and BUILD on it... All ANIMALS that exist were in Noah's ark... A SNAIL is one of those ANIMALS , If God could wait long enough for SNAILS to enter Noah's ark, His door of GRACE won't close till U reach ur EXPECTED position in life... Never look DOWN on URSELF , Keep looking up ... REMEMBER that broken CRAYONS still color, Keep on PUSHING , U never can tell how CLOSE U are to ur GOAL ... There is Hope for U, That u are poor TODAY doesn't mean u will be poor FOREVER . Believe in yourself. :v: :v: :

Recently just when I was surfing on the web I came across the book 'Die empty' -by Todd Henry. The title itself is unique and made me curious about what this book is all about. I have gone through the book and I found the concept quite amazing. I will try to summarize the book in short which I gain. The writer did his best to motivate people to pour out their ideas and potential energies in their communities and turn them into something useful before it is too late. The most beautiful of what he said in his book is that: "Do not go to your grave and you carry inside you the best that you have, always choose to die empty." Die empty is a new expression and unique in its own way, at first glance you will think it is normal. But I was surprised to know the true meaning of this new expression. It is to "die empty" of all the goodness that is within you. Deliver it before you leave this world. If you have knowledge give it out. If you have an idea

What Is Your Story? I remember my childhood was filled with my grandmother’s stories. I can recall every single one of them; remembering exactly how she would tell each story with her calm and warm voice. The lessons I learned from her stories still remain effective in my life. Back then, I used to believe in those stories, they had formed my reality. What is essential to understand now is that those were stories of my childhood, not my adulthood. Everything you attract into your life is a reflection of the story you believe and keep telling yourself. The stories we tell ourselves shape who we were, who we are, and who we will become. These stories shape our attitudes, beliefs, self-perception and so on. In life, there may be certain stories we like to tell ourselves repeatedly. It is important to understand that not all stories are meant for you and not all stories are true. It is possible for a story to be built on a lie or a fear. I call these stories fiction; they do not enhanc

Let's start with the example of the founder of Tesla Elon Musk. He  has made more than 100 patents effectively “open source.” Goes against all “common sense.” But his actions speak louder than any words. Waste no words on a man who dislikes you. Actions will impress him more. Some people think they can talk their way out of any situation, and for a time they may be right But if someone already dislikes you, either because of a simple misunderstanding or an error in judgment on your part, he or she will be especially difficult to persuade with words. Their emotions will always get in the way of their ability to think logically and reasonably. Consistent actions over a sustained period of time, however, will usually persuade even the most devout skeptic. If you constantly demonstrate that you are a generous, kind, and caring person, it will be very hard for even your enemies to dislike you. In any case, you will become a better person for having made the effort.

Somewhere between “ 8 toffees for 1 rupee” and “1 toffee for 8 rupees”, we grew up! Somewhere between “stealing chocolate from our sister” and “Buying chocolate for her children”, we grew up! Somewhere between “Just five more mins Maa” and “Pressing the snooze button”, we grew up! Somewhere between “Crying out loud just to get what we want” and “Holding our tears when we are broken inside”, we grew up! Somewhere between “I want to grow up” and “I want to be a child again”, we grew up! Somewhere between “Let's meet and plan” and “Let's plan and meet”, we grew up! Somewhere between "Being afraid of our parents" and "Praying for our parents" we finally grew up And as we grew up, we realize; How silently, our lives have changed.. :smiley:

Who is your mentor? Every great achiever is inspired by a great mentor. Mentorship is the best relationship you can't afford not to have. Every successful person and those with a positive mindset, are being mentored at some point. I firmly believe success is predicated upon having a mentor. The Five E's of a Mentor: #Experience: Receiving personal mentorship and guidance from someone who’s been where you're trying to go will be an invaluable experience for you. #Expediting the process of development: A mentor is equipped to accelerate the time and shorten the duration of where you currently are to where you are trying to be. Mentors expedite the journey by providing feedback and real-time accountability. #Evaluating your progress and focusing on strategies: A mentor challenges you to become your best. #Elevating the positive environment: When we come across challenges, we can lose momentum. Mentors are there to help bring priorities back into focus by ke

You want to win? You want success in your life? Well to do all that you need these things in your life. You need to plan. You need to execute. You have to never give up, no matter how hard. And most importantly you must expect results. A man ones said and I quote "TO WIN, YOU MUST PLAN TO WIN AND EXPECT TO WIN". All of you are winners and all of you can succeed. You can do it!. When you feel like quitting. You remember why you started. When you feel like quitting. You remember there are many people that you have to prove wrong. When you feel like quitting you don't quit, because if you do then you are a loser and losers don't succeed. But keep pushing forward and success will soon come knocking on your door.

Every single person has to believe that life is hard. Life never goes the way you want it to go. Life will be filled with happiness and will be filled with terrible situations. In life, you will have to sacrifice a lot. From the moment a little kid begins to leave their parents home to go to kindergarten, go to primary school. Life will never be the same, it is then that the struggles will begin. No more breaks, no more being with mommy 24/7. It is now time to think of life to think about the future. You will find yourself alone at times but you should never give up on yourself. You keep a motto that says “better days are coming” and you believe in it. Always strive for success. Keep the right friends. Never put all your eggs in the same basket. Work hard. That is why we all are here. We have to work to reach places.

......It then dawned on me, isn't that what happens in life when we focus on competing with co-workers, neighbours, friends, family, trying to outdo them or trying to prove that we are more successful or more important and in the bargain we miss on our happiness within our own surroundings? We spend our time and energy running after them and we miss out on our own paths to our given destination. The problem with unhealthy competition is that it's a never-ending cycle. There will always be somebody ahead of you, someone with a better job,🏃 nicer car, 🚗 more money in the bank, 💲 more education, 📖 a prettier wife, 👩 a more handsome husband, 👨 better behaved children, 👪 better circumstances and 💢 better conditions etc.💪 But one important realisation is that You can be the best that you can be when you are not competing with anyone. Some people are insecure because they pay too much attention to what others are, where others are going, wearing and drivin

True leadership starts from within. The ability to manage and lead your life-priorities is of critical importance in order to influence and add value to the people around you. Self-Leadership is an inside job and starts with the way we intentionally influence our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. 7 Keys to Successful Self-Leadership: 1. “Knowing Your #Values:” Every decision we make – whether it is professional or personal – reflects our core set of individual values. When you recognize your core values - tough decisions are easily made. The first time I did my “core value exercise,” I personally an extremely uncomfortable process, it was one of the most illuminating and selected 5 out of 43 value cards, within three to four minutes. While this was unforgettable life experiences. From that day forward, I framed my mission the right choices in life or business as long as our values have been statement and core values, and still reflect upon them daily. The out
