The Goal

The times when you're stuck, lost or feel like nothing is working out.

The times when you feel worthless and numb to all the thoughts you once had

The times when you feel it's getting tough and you cannot take it no more

Just close your eyes and breathe.

All of us go through tough times when we just start giving up on all the dreams and the goals we plan.The worst part is feeling lost, searching for your purpose. I want you to remember that this is all TEMPORARY and I am here to help you out with it.Start anew!

Setting Goals And Keeping Up With Them

1. Envision Your Goal
   If you have decided what you want to become that is great, but if you haven't there is this small exercise you can do. As a teen-ager I was curious about, how people found out what they had to become in life. According to me it was the toughest decision for anyone to make until I came across a video of a life coach on YouTube.
   He said,
   Leave your mind blank
   Close your eyes and concentrate on your breath
   Feel the peace around you
   Now just imagine your self 20 years later
   Do not Force it
   Observe everything that your mind plays for you, the surroundings, your personality, your clothes, everything. now that is your subconscious mind telling you your goal.
   Now remember, your goal can change whenever you want it to. It all depends on your personal interest which can obviously change with so many new jobs and subjects rising in our society. When in doubt practice this exercise.
   
2. Make Your vision Physical
   Now that you have envisioned your goal you need to make it physical. Studies have shown that putting effort to think of your goal helps you work towards it. It releases the thought in the universe. Keep something with you that constantly reminds you that you need to work for it. Prepare yourself mentally and physically for the "thing" you want . Prepare yourself mentally that no matter what comes by, you are going to work towards it.
   The best way of making this happen is writing down your goal and keeping it in your wallet or making a vision board.
   A famous example: Jim Carrey before he could get famous wrote a million dollar's check and kept it in his wallet to remind himself that he will work for his first million. He released the necessary energy and effort to make this happen.
   
3. Map it Out
   Purchase a small notebook. (You cannot write million dollar ideas in a 1dollar notebook - By this I understand that if you are going to write anything about your goal down do it somewhere where you feel like reading it feel like filling it out) Write down the necessary action you need to take. Make it a step by step journal you need to follow to reach your self prepared destiny. This Map has to be prepared according to your pace, your comfort. If you try to imitate someone else' life it will be tough as each one is different. You are one in 7.5 billion people, Be Yourself.
   
4. Concentrate on the Present Step
   "The past cannot be changed, the future cannot be predicted. What you have now is a gift, that is why it is called the Present. Treat it how it has to be treated." Concentrate on the present. It is the only thing that needs your focus right now. Once you learn to focus on the present, it will be much easier to achieve your goal.
   From your goal map see what you have picked out for yourself today
   Make a list of things you need to do today
   Do not forget to reward yourself after a feeling of satisfaction (Satis in Latin means Enough after enough action treat yourself).
   
5. Gratitude
   If you really want something with all your heart? You need to have a sense of gratitude. Being thankful for the things you have now, whether it is your house your car or people in your life releases positive energy into the universe, this energy acts like a boomerang and comes right back at you. Many meta-physicists have always spoken about the importance of gratitude.
   A best way of practising it, is keeping a gratitude stone (mentioned in the book 'The Secret') in your pocket. Now what it this exactly. It is a small piece of a smooth and round stone that you can keep in your pocket everyday and every time you touch it you have to thank someone for something they have done (that makes you feel good obviously). Thank someone even when you keep it in your pocket or take it out.

Motivational Videos

2015! The New year will start with new promises and new resolutions. It will be tough to stick to our resolutions and though breaking them seems like something that has to be done, this year we will not give up that easily. I have compiled a list of motivational videos that can inspire you just a little bit more and help you get what you aim for. As Buddha says "No matter how hard the past, you can always start again" , so let's get it started!

Angel Richardson:

 A great video to start your year filled with goals. She generally speaks about the importance of writing your goals, vision boards, and many other topics that really makes sense. this video is about things you need to do before 2015.

See the video here. 

Steve jobs:

If you want to try something new and always find a way to avoid it, this is a perfect video for you. He keeps his speech interesting by sharing three anecdotes.

See the video here.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie:

Her speeches are witty. In this video she speaks about having a single story. It is more educational in a way, but practising what she says makes life a bit better.

see the video here.

Ezra Frech:

Truly inspirational and a really, really cool kid. I do not want to say much but if you are reading this you just have to watch this video where he appeared on Ellen.

See the video here.

I hope you all enjoy watching the videos and have a great new year prep.

Vision Board

 Creating a vision board becomes necessary, when you really want something so bad that you don't want to stop thinking about it. Making a vision board is easy and cheap, but understanding and applying this trick to your life can be a little tough. A vision board should not only remind you of your vision, but also keep your thoughts positive towards it.

Here are 7 rules to make a vision board work:

 #1. The things you put in your vision board should be believable 
       (Example: You want a million dollars in a year, but you have never collected even                   $50,000 in a year so, in the back of your mind you think "What the hell, this is                         not going to be possible")It doesn't work like that.

#2. Have complete faith that you are going to get what you want, keep telling yourself 'Yes         this is mine'.

 #3. Get excited about what you want, and imagine it in your hands or you're close to it. Feel  the happiness you would have felt if it was real.

#4. Do not get demotivated and try to lower the level of your vision.

 #5. Do not make thinking about your visions a routine, instead get excited that it is in your          mind and it will be real soon.

#6. Think and believe that it will work.

#7. Have a sense of Gratitude towards the things you already have achieved.

The documentary of the book 'The Secret' speaks about the law of attraction which is applied in this concept. Watching it can be a great motivation, and I highly recommend it. So put it to the test, try doing it, and believe in it.
