MIND SPA: Know your Genius.

Genius is not the sole domain of select few, but anybody of us are entitled to that label & play in that space-if we deliberately make an effort to choose. Here is a big formula: Focus on any area or skill with a relentless devotion to daily improvement & a passion for excellence & within three to five years, you will be operating at a level of competence such that people shall call you a ‘Genius.’

I have always felt that the people who possess / exhibit exemplary & extraordinary skills, traits, attributes, characteristics, intelligence in their occupations consistently are termed to be a genius but after going through one of the finest book namely ‘The Greatness Guide’ by ROBIN SHARMA, I am convinced that anyone of us can be termed as GENIUS. In order to be a genius, we not only need to understand the formula deeply but interpret & apply the same. Example: After our education, while we are on the job very few of us usually spend time on reading business & management books for upgrading ourselves. Thus, we end up reading nothing through out our life leading a very mediocre kind of life. Assuming you decide to read one excellent book in a week, you end up reading fifty quality books in a year & by ten years time you would have read five hundred books. Reading & going through these books necessarily mean that the thoughts & brilliance of the author must have necessarily rubbed off on you. When you start communicating with your colleagues, subordinates, bosses in your work place they may term you as a GENIUS.

Genius = Focus + Daily Improvement + time. Understand this formula & work on it, your life will never be the same.

Every one of us is familiar with the name Mary Pierce, the great tennis star. What everybody does not know is that she pays the price by running, lifting weights, does sit-ups, & countless pushups on a daily basis for 3 hours to become an ace tennis star. You need to pay the price to achieve to your greatness.

“The price of discipline is always less than the pain of regret.” What I am suggesting you is that in order to be a genius in any field put tons & tons of discipline & hard work so that your personal & business mastery looks effortless as gracefully as a swan moves along the water. But, what you don’t see in a swan is all the planning, discipline, hard work & near-flawless execution which it undertakes below the surface.

Know what you can excel at-your genius. Discover your talents & then work like crazy to polish them. Know what you are really great at. Reflect on those abilities that others admire in you. Think about those capabilities that just come easily to you-& that flow effortlessly from you. You might possess an extraordinary ability to execute & get things done. Perhaps your special talent lies in innovation & creativity & seeing what everyone sees but thinking a different thought. Find your genius points & then work on them. Focus plus daily improvement plus time. Start today & three years to five years people will be writing about you. YOU WILL BE CALLED A GENIUS.

After attaining such a level, you will be paid in direct proportion to the quality & quantity of your contribution in comparison with the contribution of others, combined with the value that other people place on your contributions. In other words, to increase the amount of money you are getting out; you must increase the value of the work that you are putting in. A genius person is who, who puts his effort effortlessly with a minimum effort & gets things done. Become a genius & in order to become a genius remember the formula: FOCUS PLUS DAILY IMPROVEMENT PLUS TIME.

We are Recruiting

On the surface of the world right now there is
war and violence and things seem dark.
But calmly and quietly, at the same time,
something else is happening underground
An inner revolution is taking place
and certain individuals are being called to a higher light.

It is a silent revolution.
From the inside out. From the ground up.
This is a Global operation.
A Spiritual Conspiracy.

There are sleeper cells in every nation on the planet.
You wont see us on the T.V.
You wont read about us in the newspaper
You wont hear about us on the radio

We dont seek any glory
We dont wear any uniform
We come in all shapes and sizes, colors and styles
Most of us work anonymously
We are quietly working behind the scenes
in every country and culture of the world
Cities big and small, mountains and valleys,
in farms and villages, tribes and remote islands

You could pass by one of us on the street
and not even notice
We go undercover
We remain behind the scenes

It is of no concern to us who takes the final credit
But simply that the work gets done
Occasionally we spot each other in the street
We give a quiet nod and continue on our way

During the day many of us pretend we have normal jobs
But behind the false storefront at night
is where the real work takes a place
Some call us the Conscious Army

We are slowly creating a new world
with the power of our minds and hearts
We follow, with passion and joy

Our orders come from from the Central Spiritual Intelligence
We are dropping soft, secret love bombs when no one is looking
Poems ~ Hugs ~ Music ~ Photography ~ Movies ~ Kind words ~
Smiles ~ Meditation and prayer ~ Dance ~ Social activism ~ Websites~Blogs ~ Random acts of kindness...

We each express ourselves in our own unique ways
with our own unique gifts and talents
Be the change you want to see in the world
That is the motto that fills our hearts

We know it is the only way real transformation takes place
We know that quietly and humbly we have the
power of all the oceans combined

Our work is slow and meticulous
Like the formation of mountains
It is not even visible at first glance
And yet with it entire tectonic plates
shall be moved in the centuries to come
Love is the new religion of the 21st century

You dont have to be a highly educated person
Or have any exceptional knowledge to understand it
It comes from the intelligence of the heart
Embedded in the timeless evolutionary pulse of all human beings

Be the change you want to see in the world
Nobody else can do it for you
We are now recruiting
Perhaps you will join us
Or already have.

All are welcome
The door is open

Are you alive

Are you alive? Seems like a stupid question dosen’t it.
Oh, I know that you are still breathing and your heart is
still beating, but are you alive? Are you living or are you
simply going through the daily motions of life waiting
for the inevitable day when you will pass from this earth?

Many people that I see in my day seem to be simply existing,
going through life day after day, without purpose. It is
very disturbing to see how many people trudge through life
as if they were a zombie. What is even more disturbing is
that many people who are essentially sleep walking through
their life are very unaware of their zombie like state.
Most of these people would probably tell that life is okay,
even though deep down they have a knowing that they aren’t
really living anymore, they are nearly surviving. Their
journey of life is on a sort of auto pilot.

The interesting thing is that some of these people may be
awakened from the existing slumber, usually by some traumatic
event such as a near death experiecnce like a care accident
or a heart attack.

Have you ever spoke with someone right after they have had
a near death experience? They are so aware at that moment.
They say things like, “I am so happy to be alive, I know that
I have not been a fully engaged parent, spouse, global citizen,
etc. I swear from this moment forward, I will not take life
for granted, I will be a better Father/Mother, husband/wife,
etc. I will stop and smell the roses. I will take more time
for myself.” The list goes on and on, I am sure that you get
the point.

The person says these things because they have been jolted
out of their slumber, they have had an “awakening”.

The really sad part, is that for the majority of people who
are “awoken” in this fashion is that it is usually very temporary.
The person seems all too soon to forget what it was like to
be on deaths doorstep and they fall back into their old habits,
back into their comfortable slumber.

Part of the key here is to be able to honest with yourself
enough to ask yourself the tough questions to determine
if you are indeed “living” or just sleepwalking through
the remainder of your time on this earth.

So, I ask you, are you alive?

Happy Thinking!

Training or Learning

The big question what should we be doing? ……… Training or learning?

Focus on learning, not training' Training' suggests putting stuff into people, when actually we should be developing people from the inside out - so they achieve their own individual potential - what they love and enjoy, what they are most capable of, and strong at doing, rather than what we try to make them be.'Learning' far better expresses this than 'training'.

Training is about the organisation. Learning is about the person.Training is (mostly) a chore; people do it because they're paid to. Learning is quite different. People respond to appropriate learning because they want to; because it benefits and interests them; because it helps them to grow and to develop their natural abilities; to make a difference; to be special.

Training is something that happens at work. Learning is something that people pursue by choice at their own cost in their own time. Does it not make sense for employers to help and enable that process? Of course it does.

The word 'learning' is significant: it suggests that people are driving their own development for themselves, through relevant experience, beyond work related skills and knowledge and processes. 'Learning' extends the idea of personal development (and thereby organisational development) to beliefs, values, wisdom, compassion, emotional maturity, ethics, integrity - and most important of all, to helping others to identify, aspire to and to achieve and fulfill their own unique individual personal potential.Learning describes a person growing. Whereas 'training' merely describes, and commonly represents, transfer of knowledge or skill for Organisational gain, which has generally got bugger-all to do with the trainee.

No wonder people don't typically enjoy or queue up for training!!.

When you help people to develop as people, you create far greater alignment and congruence between work and people and lives - you provide more meaning for people at work, and you also build and strengthen platform and readiness for any amount of skills, processes, and knowledge development that your organization will ever need.Obviously do not ignore basic skills and knowledge training, for example: health and safety; how to use the phones, how to sell or manage people or negotiate a deal - of course these basics must be trained - but they are not what makes the difference.

Train the essential skills and knowledge of course, but most importantly focus on facilitating learning and development for the person, beyond 'work skills' - help them grow and develop for life - help them to identify, aspire to, and take steps towards fulfilling their own personal unique potential.Focus on emotional maturity, integrity, compassion - these are the characteristics that really matter.

When organisations work well it's always due to emotional maturity and integrity, which together enable self-discipline and right thinking and actions. Compassion helps you to sustain people, and to foster a culture of cooperation and mutual support. Compassion is the bedrock of tolerance and understanding, which governs the effectiveness of internal and external communications and team-working.

Develop the person, not just the skills and knowledgeSkills and knowledge are the easy things. Most people will take care of these for themselves. Helping and enabling and encouraging people to become happier more fulfilled people is what employers and organisations should focus on. Achieve this and the skills and knowledge will largely take care of themselves.

Give people choice. Give people choice in what, and how and when to learn and develop - there is a world of choice out there, and so many ways to access it all. People have different learning styles, rates of learning, and areas of interest. Why restrict people's learning and development to their job skills? Help them learn and develop in whatever way they want and they will quite naturally become more positive, productive and valuable to your organisation. (You may need to find bigger and/or different roles for them, but that's entirely the point - you want people to be doing what they are good at, and what they enjoy - this is what a good organisation is.)

Talk about learning, not training, focus on the person, from the inside out, not the outside in, and offer relevant learning in as many ways as you can.'Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.' We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?... Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We are all meant to shine, as children do... It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we subconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

Happy Learning!
