The Missing Success Ingredient




 "Agar kisi cheez ko dil se chaaho to puri kayanat usey tumse milane ki koshish mein lag jaati hai. " - Shahrukh Khan in his movie, Om Shanti Om


'When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.' - Paulo Coelho in his book, The Alchemist


You must have surely heard either one or both of these. You might also believe in it.


I do. I have seen it in action at many different times in life. I have the belief backed by real-life observation and experience to back it up.


BUT, the quote is incomplete and misleading in a way. The quote jumps from 'desire' to 'achievement' without really touching upon the 'action' in between.


The Desire needs to be strong enough to manifest real, concrete ACTION in the right direction. The desire will also create the right attitude and mindset which will further enhance the action - along with creativity, out of box thinking, cooperation, collaboration etc. which will ultimately result in achievement.


Mere desire is not going to help. Closing your eyes and seeing things happening (Visualization) is part of the process but is not going to help if you stop there.


If you desire something, don't wait for the universe/kayanat/world/people to conspire and help you achieve it. Kick off your own actions first and inspire others to help you.


Without strong deterministic action that originates from you; success will only be the dream, desire and visualization - not a reality.


So wake up from your proverbial sleep. Smell the roses. Get into action.


Thinking or dreaming about transforming your life and achieving all your goals is not going to help one bit. You got to take action.


Make plans, create milestones, get help, approach people, and find a mentor and/or coach who will help you get there. Build a purpose-specific network along with your regular network. Start doing something every day that takes you one step forward. Just do it.


And then watch the magic happen ... in slow motion !!

Mumbai Local - First Class v/s Second Class

Image
    It is an old joke that the difference in the first class and second class of the Mumbai local trains is that people in first class use deodorants and hence you are exempted from the smelly underarms while travelling. The mute point being; both class of travel experience a passenger overload during the peak hours and you are almost equally squeezed and pushed around in both. Of course, the seats in First Class are cushioned (unlike the hard seats of second class) but then that would make a difference only if you get to sit (which would be a likely probability only if you get into the train from the station it originates). My father holds a first class pass from Churchgate to Andheri (since past 7 years, ever since we moved to Andheri). He often travels by Second class in the evening. Strange, isn't it? This is why he does it … In the First class, there is an unwritten rule that on the seat, only the designated number of people (which is 3) will sit. No sq...

Tongue Twister - V for Vendetta

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V." - V for Vendetta
