Gladwell's Magic

We know Bill Joy and we also know Bill Gates. They are the achievers and we can also add many other names. I would put the Beatles here. Around 1969 we saw the 1st personal computer taking shape. Now the challenge is there are few places on earth at that time where you had access to computers where you can TIME SHARE. So to become someone who understand the system and use it in the future you need to be a person who has lot of patience and intellect and systems to practice.



The University of Michigan had one of the most advanced computer system at that time. Bill joy was lucky to be there to test his potential and also had access to free time share which if not have been very costly. After being dropped out of School Bill gates went to LAKESIDE, a private school run by the elites where too they had one of the best Computer System in place which no other schools in the world had. This was free. Bill Gates gave more than 10 -12 hours on weekends and many hours during weekdays. When the time share computer terminal closed down he went to a place called C-CUBED where one of his school friend's teacher worked and gave them free access on weekends and finally when this too got closed down Bill went to the UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON which also has installed a Computer where access was free from 3- 6 A.M. Something was happening and both Bill Joy and Bill Gates got access to something which no one at that age had. Now if we look at the number of hours they have practiced it comes to 10,000 hours. What has 10,000 got to do here.



In the world of Canadian Hockey the season starts in the month of January 1. All the top players for the last 30 years were born mostly in the month of Jan, Feb and March and very few in the other months. Think of the reason. This has nothing to do with Zodiac. A very simple phenomenon is playing here. Anyone born in the month of January has the best chance of getting into the team and get selected because of his age advantage. No doubt he needs to be good enough for him to be picked up. However, someone in the month of December would be too young or too old [ for the next year] to be picked up and most of the time missing the bus. Now if we look at the practice hours of this players who were picked up for championship and who undergo special coaching and training they end up doing their 10,000. Karna has done his 10,000 and Tendulkar has done his 10,000. 10,000 is Magical! Mozart too [Read his history]



Let's go back to the BEATLES. They are the best band of all time. They could play everything and any thing. They never started that way. They were a small band from LIVERPOOL. Playing mostly in clubs and there were many similar bands. The Beatle for the most obvious of reason had to go to HAMBURG. Without HAMBURG Beatles would have taken a different path. There is this person from Germany - Hamburg looking for musicians for his club landed in London and met this gentleman [ a business man] from Liverpool. Liverpool happened because of this gentleman and Beatles happened because of Liverpool. But how ? Let's dig. The Beatles ended up traveling to Hamburg five times between 1960 and end of 1962. On the first trip they played 106 nights. Second trip - 92 times , third - 48 times for a total of 176 hours and the last trip for 90 hours. In a span of little more than 1.5 years they performed for 270 nights and in fact this goes to 1270 live performance. Even the best of the musicians of today or in the past have not done 1270 performance in their live time. This made than try new things, new music all the time as they were performing LIVE more or less in the same place and they are required to keep on changing and innovate more to keep the crowd coming. This is their 10,000.


I agree 10,000 is a magical number and to become the best you are required to practice irrespective of knowledge, influence and intellect. I am off to fulfill something which needs lot of practice. Not sure if this could be accomplished as I am starting late. I am sure I will find my 10,000 soon.

What about you?

The Law Of The Garbage Truck

One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us.

My taxi driver slammed on his breaks, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really friendly.

So I asked, 'Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!' This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, 'The Law of the Garbage Truck.'

He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you.

Don't take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home or on the streets.

The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day. Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so..... 'Love the people who treat you right.. Pray for the ones who don't.'

Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it.

The Race

"Quit, give up, you're beaten"
They shout at you and plead
"There's just too much against you
This time you can't succeed".

And as I start to hang my head
In front of failures face
My downward fall is broken by
The memory of a race

And hope refills my weakened will
As I recall that scene
Or just the thought of that short race
Rejuvenates my being

Childrens race, young boys
Young men, how I remember well
Excitement sure, but also fear
It wasn't hard to tell

They all lined up so full of hope
Each thought to win that race
Or tie for first, or if not that
At least take second place

The fathers watched from off the side
Each cheering for his son
And each boy hoped to show his dad
That he could be the one

The whistle blew and off they went
Young hearts and hopes afire
To win and be the hero there
Was each young boys desire

And one boy in particular
Whose dad was in the crowd
Was running near the lead and thought
"My dad will be so proud"

But as they speeded down the field
Across a shallow dip
The little boy who thought to win
Lost his step and slipped

Trying hard to catch himself
With hands flew out to brace
And amid the laughter of the crowd
He fell flat on his face

But as he fell his dad stood up
And showed his anxious face
Which to the boy so clearly said
"Get up and win the race"

He quickly rose, no damage done
Behind a bit that's all
And ran with all his night and mind
To make up for the fall

So anxious to restore himself
To catch up and to win
His mind went faster than his legs
He slipped and fell again

He wised then that he had quit before
With only one disgrace
"I'm hopeless as a runner now
I shouldn't try to race"

But in the laughing crowd he searched
And found his fathers face
That steady look which said again
"Get up and win the race"

So up he jumped to try again
Ten yards behind the last
If I'm going to gain those yards he though
I've got to move real fast

Exerting everything he had
He regained eight or ten
But trying hard to catch the lead
He slipped and fell again

Defeat, he lay there silently
A tear dropped from his eye
There's no sense running anymore
Three strikes, I'm out, why try?

The will to rise had disappeared
All hope had fled away
So far behind so error prone
A loser all the way

"I've lost, so what", he thought
I'll live with my disgrace
But then he thought about his dad
Whom soon he'd have to face

"Get up" the echo sounded low
"Get up" and take your place
You were not meant for failure here
"Get up", and win the race

With borrowed will "Get up" it said
"You haven't lost at all"
For winning is no more than this
To rise each time you fall

So up he rose to run once more
And with a new commit
He resolved, that win or lose
At least he shouldn't quit

So far behind the others now
The most he'd ever been
Still he'd give it all he had
And run as though to win

Three times he'd fallen, stumbling
Three times he'd rose again
Too far behind to hope to win
He still ran to the end

They cheered the winning runner
As he crossed the line first place
Head high and proud and happy
No falling, no disgrace

But when the fallen youngster
Crossed the line, last place
The crowd gave him the greater cheer
For finishing the race

And even though he came in last
With head bent low, unproud
You would have thought he'd won the race
To listen to the crowd

And to his dad he sadly said
"I didn't do too well"
"To me you won", his father said
"You rose each time you fell"

Words Have No Meaning

I was on a very important session few days back and I had to do some research on some subject where we are trying to make people take important decisions when needed. Out of this whole exercise I realised one thing and that is "Words Have No Meaning" until we put the context to it.

What is your take on this?

What comes to your mind when I say "High Speed". Rockets, F1 ,Super Bikes etc. What is that engulfed your mind now.

What happens when we put the year "1890"



The only thing fast we can think of is Train.

What further comes to your mind when I say "Customer Service". you could think of many words like "Customer Delight","Customer Experience" etc . However, in today's world Customer Service is weird Term and often coined as Absurd. Companies are coming up with innovations which would make no sense 10-15 years back. In short the world is changing.

Hey, This is not what I wanted to discuss. We are very much there discussing Words having no meaning. Do you believe in this now.

Our today is the Product of our thoughts. The same thought we have now would take us to our Tomorrow. We cannot become what we want to be by remaining what we are. We need to think right. Every word should have the right context and every context has to be positive. Now thoughts are also words which forms questions. Most of our thoughts are in the form of questions put forward to us and all the answers decides our tomorrow. This is true all the time and we all know that THOUGHTS BECOME THINGS in the long run. Lets watch this Tony Robin's Video and see How it works.



I will get back on this one soon. Till than you are required to decide and write back to me about your thoughts on this article. I have more to tell you. I am available at shamsud.ahmed@gmail.com or simply post o this site.

Happiness

A small take from Stephen Knapp

Happiness is a part of our spiritual nature. In Sanskrit, that nature is called sat-chit-ananda. The word sat means eternal. The soul is eternal and its natural tendencies are also eternal. The word chit means knowledge, especially the higher spiritual knowledge that is connected with our eternal nature. In our natural and fully realized spiritual position, we are full of knowledge, and we know what to do and how to do it--in other words, no confusion. The word ananda means full of bliss. Again, the eternal, awakened nature of the soul is to always be full of happiness. It is always within us. The problem with attaining this bliss is that before we are fully connected with our higher Selves, we search for it outside of us. Thinking our inner joy comes from something external only contributes to our confusion and frustration. It adds to our misidentification of who and what we really are, and what we really need. The fact is, our body alone cannot make us happy. It is a machine in which we exist, although we may feel fairly pleased with it when we are healthy and in good shape.

Likewise, our mind alone cannot make us happy. What we seek is deeper than that. Finding the happiness within may not always be easy, but it is impossible to find it elsewhere.


To be convinced that our search for happiness should be in things outside ourselves is what shuts us out from finding the happiness already within us. What value is our happiness if we must work hard and struggle for it? That merely means we are looking in the wrong direction. Sure, maybe we do have to work hard, but that should not be the cause of either our happiness or distress. We attain happiness from what we learn, what we accomplish, and the experience or personal progress we derive from it. This is especially powerful when what we do is connected with how our inner Self is revealed.

What we beleive is true

Welcome Back

Today I have an amazing video to share with you. Thanks to all those contributors to Youtube, I keep stumbling upon one after the other and I am really happy to sort this out for you all to go through.



I have just completed reading a book called THOUGHT VIBRATION and also have completed writing the review.

Whole New World


How are you today?

I just came back after dropping my wife in the airport and thought of writing something. A little upset though considering the fact that I am married for just 3 months and she has to go home to see her mother who is not doing well. As normal human being we pass through similar phase of life all the time. Sadness,Depression, Heartbreak are a part of life. This consumes time and many a time life takes us to a new tangent.

We cannot be what we want to be by remaining what we are. So we need to change. We see changes happening around us and we being a positive human being,we try our best to adjust to the new environment. Yes, we try. The moment we use the word try we also indicate the inhibitions we carry within ourselves. So what is the best way to cope up with change. Anticipate change. We are required to prepare for it. We are required to understand it and more importantly we are required to be a part of it. It should not be enforced but we should be there to embrace it. Sounds very easy !

Time and Tide wait for none. yah , a common saying. Than why do we wait for things to happen rather than making those dreams happen for us. This is because of our laid back attitude which make us think that we are the best. Being a trainer I keep seeing people coming back to me with many stories. For the type of stories they come up you are required to go back to my last post. If you have gone there I would say that those and all the stories you have created so far are true. The irony is all those true stories are not helping us. We are not moving ahead. We make lot of money, working hard just to pay the government back in the first four months of the year and than prepare a portfolio to get rid of tax. This proves that we are not making enough. Hey !I met people saying that they are not working for money, they are not motivated by money. However, my friend, your cosmetics require money, your car needs money and your house too. So if not you, all your property seller, Car seller and many other people keep sending bills to you and they genuinely needs and are motivated by money.

We need to make money. There is a science of making money and we need to learn the art of it. "The Science of Getting Rich" is a successful book written by Wallace D. Wattles in 1910. The book is considered a classic and a philosophy which benefited many people like us.The ideas presented is simple and yet very powerful. As most of us believe that everything starts from a thought [ refer to my older post ] and ends with the thought becoming things we are required to nurture our brain to think right. In the past I have not only allowed my past to equal my future but to predict it. Very much a similar case with you. Right !

Finally I got you. The bottom line is we are required to think. We are required to make things happen for us. I am coming up with a whole lot of articles on this topic and help each one of you to achieve what you wanted to achieve.

Remember, you coming to the end of this articles means that you are not happy the way things are moving. You want to create and you want abundance. Lets work together to make things happen for both you and me.

Write your comments here so that I am aware that you are gearing up for a whole new world of prosperity and success. you can also write to me at shamsud.ahmed@gmail.com also let me know if you need a free copy of "Science of getting rich" You can visit the link below to download the ebook.

Making Things Happen everyday

Cliff Young

Did you manage to read the last post? If not please go through it now.

For years, running experts believed that the body needed a certain amount of sleep per night when running a grueling 100 miles per day. However, after falling so far behind on the first day of the race, Cliff awoke at 1:00 AM and started running throughout the night. He surpassed the leaders, who slept to the usual 5:00 AM. Cliff's strategy worked so well that he continued to wake and start running each morning four hours earlier than all of his competitors. As a result of using this bold racing strategy, he astonished the world by crossing the finish line in first place. After five days, 15 hours, and four minutes Cliff Young was the victor, at 61 years old!

Yes at 61 Years. Thought becomes Things. We have many stories around us. We have millions of them. However, almost all the time we relate this stories to luck, Right Time, Place of opportunity, Fraud, Cheating. Indirectly we all live by our own stories. Someone told me that human being cannot sleep at night until and unless they create a story. This is something like this. Let us suppose you are not happy with your job and it keeps you awake every night. You have option to change your Job, Talk to your Boss or start something on your own. However, you do something else. You go to bed every night and think on the same topic and create a story . All your stories are made from three elements or all your stories are of Three Types:

1. A Villain Story.
2. A victim Story.
3. A Helpless Story.

There is nothing beyond this. Everynight we create a story. We fall asleep only when the story is ready. If not we cannot sleep. All the above three stories are negative and we register these stories in our subconscious every night and guess what. In the morning we wake up with a story which is correct and has real element of the night and all those elements added by our subconscious during our sleep and we end of beleiving in the story and many of us are living with these stories for years. Here I would like to discuss something which I call the "TRUTH" and "THOUGHT" part of an individual. However, let me skip that for some other time and continue with today's topic. Yep we create stories all the time to hide our weakness and at times to hide our cowardness.

All other successful people also creates stories but positive one. For example all there Vilian stories are converted to Hero Stories and register a succesful story in their subconscious which would act immediately and draw energy to make things work for them, CLiff Young Did the same thing and the hero of my next story did the same thing. Lets read the next story now..


Like most other countries, Japan was hit badly by the Great Depression of the 1930s. In 1938, Soichiro Honda was still in school, when he started a little workshop, developing the concept of the piston ring.

His plan was to sell the idea to Toyota. He labored night and day, even slept in the workshop, always believing he could perfect his design and produce a worthy product. He was married by now, and pawned his wife's jewelry for working capital.

Finally, came the day he completed his piston ring and was able to take a working sample to Toyota, only to be told that the rings did not meet their standards! Soichiro went back to school and suffered ridicule when the engineers laughed at his design.

He refused to give up. Rather than focus on his failure, he continued working towards his goal. Then, after two more years of struggle and redesign, he won a contract with Toyota.

By now, the Japanese government was gearing up for war! With the contract in hand, Soichiro Honda needed to build a factory to supply Toyota, but building materials were in short supply. Still he would not quit! He invented a new concrete-making process that enabled him to build the factory.

With the factory now built, he was ready for production, but the factory was bombed twice and steel became unavailable, too. Was this the end of the road for Honda? No!

He started collecting surplus gasoline cans discarded by US fighters – "Gifts from President Truman," he called them, which became the new raw materials for his rebuilt manufacturing process. Finally, an earthquake destroyed the factory.

After the war, an extreme gasoline shortage forced people to walk or use bicycles. Honda built a tiny engine and attached it to his bicycle. His neighbors wanted one, and although he tried, materials could not be found and he was unable to supply the demand.

Was he ready to give up now? No! Soichiro Honda wrote to 18,000 bicycles shop owners and, in an inspiring letter, asked them to help him revitalize Japan. 5,000 responded and advanced him what little money they could to build his tiny bicycle engines. Unfortunately, the first models were too bulky to work well, so he continued to develop and adapt, until finally, the small engine 'The Super Cub' became a reality and was a success. With success in Japan, Honda began exporting his bicycle engines to Europe and America.

End of story? No! In the 1970s there was another gas shortage, this time in America and automotive fashion turned to small cars. Honda was quick to pick up on the trend. Experts now in small engine design, the company started making tiny cars, smaller than anyone had seen before, and rode another wave of success.

So what's your story for the day..

My six day course ware on "Making Things Happen everyday" is almost ready. PLease mail me at shamsud.ahmed@gmail.com if your are interested in changing your life. I am also launching a COMMUNITY CHARGE Website soon where positive people meets and discuss thier Ideas. You would hear from me soon.

A farmer who inspired a nation

Friends,


I have an amazing story to tell you today which talks of strong determination and will power Remember strong determination is nothing but stronger thoughts and all strong thoughts become things. Lets read the story below:

Most feared that he would die trying [ Though personally I think its good to do that ]. But this humble old man proved all the critics wrong.

Every year, Australia hosts an 875-kilometer endurance racing from Sydney to Melbourne - considered to be the world’s longest and toughest ultra-marathon. It’s a long, tough race that takes a week and normally participated by world-class athletes who train specially for the event. Backed by big names in sports like Nike, these athletes are mostly less than 30 years old men and women equipped with the most expensive sponsored training outfits and shoes.

In 1983, a man named Cliff Young showed up at the start of this race. Cliff was 61 years old and wore overalls and work boots. To everyone's shock, Cliff wasn't a spectator. He picked up his race number and joined the other runners.

The press and other athletes became curious and questioned Cliff. They told him, "You're crazy, there's no way you can finish this race." To which he replied, "Yes I can. See, I grew up on a farm where we couldn't afford horses or tractors, and the whole time I was growing up, whenever the storms would roll in, I'd have to go out and round up the sheep. We had 2,000 sheep on 2,000 acres. Sometimes I would have to run those sheep for two or three days. It took a long time, but I'd always catch them. I believe I can run this race."

When the race started, the pros quickly left Cliff behind. The crowds and television audience were entertained because Cliff didn't even run properly; he appeared to shuffle. Many even feared for the old farmer's safety.

The Tortoise and the Hare

Cliff YoungAll of the professional athletes knew that it took about 5 days to finish the race. In order to compete, one had to run about 18 hours a day and sleep the remaining 6 hours. The thing is, Cliff Young didn't know that!

When the morning of the second day came, everyone was in for another surprise. Not only was Cliff still in the race, he had continued jogging all night.

Eventually Cliff was asked about his tactics for the rest of the race. To everyone's disbelief, he claimed he would run straight through to the finish without sleeping.

Apparently, Cliff did not stop after the first day. Although he was still far behind the world-class athletes, he kept on running. He even had the time to wave to spectators who watched the event by the highways.

When he got to a town called Albury he was asked about his tactics for the rest of the race. He said he would run through to the finish, and he did.

He kept running. Every night he got just a little bit closer to the leading pack. By the last night, he passed all of the world-class athletes. By the last day, he was way in front of them. Not only did he run the Melbourne to Sydney race at age 61, without dying; he won first place, breaking the race record by 9 hours and became a national hero! The nation fell in love with the 61-year-old potato farmer who came out of nowhere to defeat the world’s best long distance runners.

He finished the 875-kilometre race in 5 days, 15 hours and 4 minutes. Not knowing that he was supposed to sleep during the race, he said when running throughout the race, he imagined that he was chasing sheep and trying to outrun a storm.

When Cliff was awarded the winning prize of $10,000, he said he didn't know there was a prize and insisted that he did not enter for the money. He ended up giving all of his winnings to several other runners, an act that endeared him to all of Australia.

Continued Inspiration
In the following year, Cliff entered the same race and took 7th place. Not even a displaced hip during the race stopped him.

Cliff came to prominence again in 1997, aged 76, when he attempted to raise money for homeless children by running around Australia's border. He completed 6,520 kilometers of the 16,000-kilometer run before he had to pull out because his only crew member became ill. Cliff Young passed away in 2003 at age 81.

Today, the "Young-shuffle" has been adopted by ultra-marathon runners because it is considered more energy-efficient. At least three champions of the Sydney to Melbourne race have used the shuffle to win the race. Furthermore, during the Sydney to Melbourne race, modern competitors do not sleep. Winning the race requires runners to go all night as well as all day, just like Cliff Young.

Watch this video now.

Think Now

Accidents, coincidences, and serendipities don't create dreams.
Your dreams create them.


In life there are generally two ways of seeing things, we can choose to view them through negative or positive filters (Perhaps you've heard it referred to as seeing through rose colored glasses when things are viewed in a positive light). When I'm faced with situations in my life where I've got the choice to assume the best, or worst. I like to recite the following quote to myself -- and to others....

"Until you're proven wrong, you might as well assume you'll receive the best possible outcome"

I think there's a lot of truth to the term self-fulfilling prophecy. Meaning that if a person runs around thinking of all the reasons things can't possibly work out for them, they end up giving power to the very things they don't want to have happen. In summary, we tend to get what we most focus on. That being the case, doesn't it stand to reason we would benefit from seeing things through a more optimistic lens?

I'd also add that I'm not saying that everything is going to work out for the best in every single instance. However, even in the worst of times we can choose how we respond to the things that happen to us. We can make the choice to do what is necessary to dig ourselves out of the place we are now -- reminding ourselves that in time if we refuse to give up and stay in the game our life will turn for the better and we'll see the positive results we desire.

I offer you a wonderful Video. Doesn't matter what time of the day it is.



Quality of your Life is decided by the quality of your thinking.

"As We Thinketh" - ARE WE OUR THOUGHTS??

I will start distributing the free ebook soon.I am waiting for few more mails or comments. For those new to this site, please read the previous post.

Today I will present you with a Video first and than a very interesting and thought provoking read.

I am having a great time reading some very interesting books from the 1st half of the last Century. That was the time few writers were discussing the Law of Attraction more openly.





From "As A Man Thinketh" by James Allen

The aphorism, “As a man thinketh in his heart so is he,” not only embraces the whole of a man’s being, but is so comprehensive as to reach out to every condition and circumstance of his life. A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts.


It is a common idea that we are our thoughts. That is, what we do, how we behave, & what is produced in our world, is what we think about. This is the major premise behind the 'Law of Attraction,' and the recent movie-book, "The Secret." However, this idea can be traced to the Bible, and even to ancient times!

But, is this accurate? Are we what we think about? If so, where do the thoughts come from?
Can our brains think for themselves? Or do thoughts arise from an ephemeral, invisible source, that is frequently called "inspiration"- Spirit - Soul - Consciousness - God?

Or are we not our thoughts? Given that we can point to, and describe our thoughts, doesn't that suggest that we are not just our thoughts? We must be more than our thoughts if we can recognize them, point them out, discuss them with ourselves and others! If so, what is the entity that can identify our thoughts, as well as be our thoughts?

That must be us! But who are we? What are we? AND, WHO WANTS TO KNOW????

"I" think if we find out who wants to know, we will find out who we are!

What do "you" think? Leave a comment!

Now you can join me at http://thoughtuniverse.ning.com/

Things were Thoughts

Look around for few seconds. All those things around were not there sometime back. They were all created. They were created over a period of time. We have been creating all the way till today. We are doing it with our thoughts. We are doing it with the positive energy around us. Without creating we would not exist.

I think that a lot of people, when first exposed to the philosophy that “we create our own reality” naively believe that this process is much more simple then it actually is. Though this philosophy rightfully restores our freedom to create in our lives whatever it is we choose to create, this does not mean that this freedom can not be tedious, when divorced from discipline. In other words, freedom comes at a cost. And, more or less, the cost of the freedom to be, do, and have whatever it is we want in our lives, is that of being disciplined in your application of the wisdom life has offered us all (whether that wisdom has come to you from the Bible, the Torah, the Koran, the Taoist texts, the yoga sutras, etc.).

It is undeniable that all of us, no matter what our culture or background in life, have all, at some point in our lives been offered the wisdom of the Universal Laws. Again, the source of these teachings an be as diverse as the Bible or the Koran. But, nonetheless this wisdom has been offered us to all in one form or another. The problem, then, is in our failure to do that which we (at some level) know we need to do in order to make our lives what we really want them to be. And, I suspect that the cause of this disconnect between principles and practices lies in our failure to ever clearly decide exactly what principles that we have been exposed to mean the most, and resonate the most with us. If you can clearly articulate a small set of principles that really resonate with you, you will find that your discipline in applying those principles to your life will increase dramatically, and from there, from that place of applying that which you know to be truth, it will only be a matter of time before you find yourself living the life that you have always dreamed of.

What ever your dreams are


Many people have written many things on the Law of Attraction and most of everything that came our way is a little bit confusing.

Yes, it is possible for all of us to make things work for us. We can dream big and achiave our dreams. This is a introductory post to many post that would folow on this topic. As told earlier I am already working on a 2 day program on "How to attract abundance" which should be ready anytime from now. I the mean time I would like to request you to watch this wonderful video to start the process of Positive Thinking.




Thought for the Moment
Every experience we have is shaped by our core beliefs, attitudes, actions we choose to take, and choice of words. You can begin shifting to more joyful and rewarding experiences today.


In the past I have not only allowed my past to equal my future but to predict it. Are you doing the same time.

I am not here to sell anything. Hence I would try my best to keep things simple and lucid. I would give away all I have to make your life easy. The law of attraction also beleive in Gratitude without which we can make anything work for us.

When flowing water meets with obstacles on its path,
a blockage in it’s journey, it pauses. It increases in
volume and strength, filling up in front of the obstacle
and eventually spilling past it.”

-I Ching


What a great quote! If we could just take a lesson from the wisdom of the water

When we encounter obstacles, doesn’t it may sense to increase our strength to endure what is to come? Gather our strength so we can “spill past” the obstacles in our path.

What do you love to do that you have put on the back burner? Well, it’s time to do it!

Have you wanted to start a hobby?

Start a business?

Get in shape?

Take time for yourself?

Eat healthier?

Stop smoking?

Etc???

I will come back on this soon. Take time for reflection to see what you really want deep down and then just get started!

Good Journey

Dear Friends,

It is a great journey here in Interface. I am working on a very new website which would cater to our dose of motivation and inspiration everyday. I understand one very simple thing. One Life,Many opportunities and we are required to work towards making things happen rather than waiting for a miracle. Is it possible. Very much and all the time. Believe in yourself. Very simple line but a very powerful one too.
God created us with abundance. We all had access to everything we wanted and we enjoyed our days under the sun. With time we created with our thoughts. We created and destroyed many civilisation. All happened because of the way we think and what we thought.

True, thought becomes things. Let us see How???

You saw a though, you reap an act
you saw an act, you reap a habit
you saw a habit, you reap a character
Finally you saw a character you reap a destiny.

So, all your thougths are aligned to your destiny. We need to think right. I have created a 6 day tutorial which would set the stage for all of you. Please mail me or post atom to this blog post so that I can start sending you the course ware. This is all free.

Also I am planning to send a free ebook from the public domain to the best post here. So start sending your Ideas. Remember we are talking of many positive ideas which would manifest reality for all of us and it is possible.

Cheers and Keep Winning,

Shamsud Ahmed
