Hi Naveen,
Today I'd like to talk to you about two components of our mind that determine success or failure of any journey of success and manifesting your dreams. Just by not understanding the nature of these two components and how they work, most people fail on their endeavors even before they can start. If you have ever dreamed big, full of hopes and enthusiasm, only to find yourself going in circles after a while, this will be very VERY important for you.
(Today's letter has 2 parts to it and there's a bit of reading involved. So set aside some time and go through this. What you will learn can really take you to the next stage of your journey of success. So grab a cup of your favorite beverage and keep reading...)
See all journeys of success and prosperity begin with getting very clear about what you want, it begins with having a dream. Once you are totally clear about what you want, the next step is charting a map, a step by step plan of how you are going to get to your destination and what you have to do on the way.
Once you have your map, the rest of the journey is basically sticking to your map and everyday taking another step forward towards your chosen destiny. Simple right? I bet you knew it all along? Heck, I believe even my 12 year old niece knows this by now - when she goes to school, she knows where she is going, knows the map of how to get there and takes one step after the other with a clear sense of direction and a sense of progress as she gets closer and closer.
So why isn't everyone in the world totally successful in achieving their dreams? Because they either underestimate or are totally unclear about two key factors that play the most important role when it comes to manifesting your dreams: habits and energy.
This is a complicated topic, but I'll do my best to give you a super simplified version:
Habits: They are things we do automatically without having to consciously decide its merits and demerits. Here is the key point here... habits are NOT part of the conscious mind; they remain in the subconscious level.
When a willing (or unwilling) repeated action goes to the subconscious level, it turns into a habit and then it's performed without thought or difficulty. In fact after a habit is formed, NOT doing it causes discomfort to the subconscious mind.
What is a good habit? Brushing your teeth each day is one example. You no longer think about it (I hope), you just do it. What's a bad habit? Maybe watching TV every evening or chatting on the internet or gossiping too much. (What's a really bad habit? Smoking. We call really bad habits addiction, what we don't realize is that we are equally addicted to our other habits too.)
When it comes to achieving our dreams, we want to turn our willful and focused actions into habits (actions that are in alignment with our charted map towards our chosen destiny). If you allow those actions to remain at the conscious level of will power, you are pretty much certain of failure. Read the last sentence one more time.
Energy: Simply put, without energy you cannot do anything. Not homework, not dance, not party and not the work you need to do in order to manifest your dreams. You need energy to do anything and if you are low on energy, you are going to slow down on your journey.
Now here is the big mistake people make: they assume just because they are super motivated and energized today about their chosen goals, they'll have the same energy tomorrow. HA! Wait till they wake up in the morning. What goes wrong?
What goes wrong is, once again, our bodily energy is not part of the conscious mind (which you are somewhat in control of) but it comes from the subconscious mind.
(I want you to pay careful attention now. This one idea can change your life forever.)
Imagine that in your subconscious mind there is an energy store house. It contains a super generator that can produce so much energy that you can work for the next 6 months without sleep and have fun at it too. But here is the catch: there's this mysterious Gatekeeper who sometimes allows you access to the energy that you want, sometimes he doesn't. Before you get access to all the energy you need, you always need to convince the Gatekeeper!
Has this ever happened to you, when you were just unstoppable? You could keep going and going and going, and people just went "WOW! What's with you?" Maybe it was at work, or maybe it was when you fell in love. But most of us have an idea of what it feels like. Well, what happened was that you were being supplied loads of energy from your energy store house, the Gatekeeper let you in.
And then has this ever happened? You really needed to get something done, you even wanted to do it, maybe it was some business project that you knew if you just got it done will bring loads of money, but you just couldn't do it? Well, that's the time the gate keeper wasn't quite so happy and he wouldn't let you have the energy.
So who is this mysterious Gatekeeper and how to ensure that he will allow you all the energy you need on your journey of realizing your goals and dreams?
Well here is the big surprise! The gate keeper is a bratty 9 year old boy! Yep, that's right. I want you to imagine that the almighty Gatekeeper to your store house of energy deep in your subconscious mind is none other than a 9 year old kid. If you want to get access to the precious energy that's necessary for all your journeys towards success and prosperity, you will need to make the 9 year old kid happy.
Now how do you logically convince a 9 year old kid about going to the gym regularly or waking up at 6am to meditate or write yet another chapter for the book you are trying to write? You can't. You only tell the kid about the fantastic results that will follow if you are able to do this little work first.
What kind of results am I talking about? Changing the world? Helping poor kids in Africa? Being able to remain healthy when you are 70 years old? NO NO NO! Remember you are dealing with a kid here. You want to talk about how famous you are going to get, all the money that will come in, all the vacations you will go to, all the shiny toys you'll be able to buy... and so on. If you want energy, you gotta be able to get the kid excited!
(Well isn't all that totally selfish and aren't we supposed to focus only on what we can give and not just get? Yes, but that's on a higher level. You have different levels of being and you have to understand how to motivate each level. If you are at a level where your higher self is totally able to control the 9 year old kid at will, by all means go for it. But where I am, I need to convince my gate keeper with shiny objects, glamour and fame before I get all the energy to do the work necessary to offer great value to the world. Remember no matter how noble your cause, unless you have energy, you will produce zero results.)
Now, remember this: if you can't convince the gate keeper, you won't have energy. If you don't have energy, you won't be able to consistently take action. If you can't take consistent action, it won't turn into a habit. If it doesn't turn into a habit, you will need to constantly struggle with the gate keeper for energy and even that can get tiring after a while (I'm sure you noticed).
So what is the solution?
The solution is in realizing that there are two ways to get massive amounts of energy from the store house: Inspiration and Desperation.
You can be inspired (gatekeeper totally excited and on your side) or you can be desperate (you along with your gatekeeper freaked out... a life threatening illness or financial crisis maybe). And as you probably know, being desperate is not too much fun at all. So what we want is to remain in a state of inspiration and keep our gatekeeper happy. If we can maintain this state long enough (usually 21-28 days), it turns into a habit and we can switch on autopilot and enjoy the ride.
And how do you remain in that state of inspiration where you are constantly excited about reaching your destination, full of energy, ready to do whatever is necessary?
That's exactly what you will read in the second part of this letter...
