We have been mentally programmed to plan for decades to come.
We learn early to think about tomorrow and learn from our past.
Its great to do it, except probably when we over do it.
The thing is .. Yesterdays and dreams are quite similar.
So are tomorrows and future visions.
I believe they are all mere illusions.
We spend far too much time in these illusory worlds than experiencing
the amazing magic happening all around us in this very moment!
So much so that, while shuffling between these gone-past and next-to come illusions
we literally forget to live this moment.
And life just slips by!
Most of us are surprised that so much of life is gone already.
Time my friend, cant be got back.
Once gone, its gone for ever.
This is precisely why I am writing this for you! ( yes you!)
I want you to LIVE life totally, today onwards.
If you are sleeping, let this tiny message be the wake up call.
Let this moment be the turning point of your life.
By the way, it can happen only if you make it happen.
Life is precious. Very precious.
How? Umm.. Let me share with you my experience with u first..
The near death experience, that triggered change in my life....
I am sure you will get a hint why I say, that which I keep on saying.
Click here to read my Khopoli Experience!
We take tomorrows for granted. We want to be sure of them.
and thats where the excitement and thrill of life is strangled.
Ambiguity and surprises are among the most amazing gifts of life to us.
I believe we can quickly make our minds come and stay in present moment
simply by paying attention to the sounds of our breath, or by feeling the breath (flow of air)
in nostrils or on fingertips.
:)
You might discover some other method which works better for u than this!
Good luck!
Enjoy the gift of the present moment!
cheers

me: hey
VIJI: hey long time
me: yepppp whats up ! bolo bolo .,,,
VIJI: hmm i ve been wanting to talk abt the weekend trainings yaa
me: i think this is the best time and best place to talk! :)
VIJI: ya right so u tell me what do i do to begin working on weekends
or join ur company as a trainer
me: can u plz tell me what and how are ur financial, emotional, and other priorities and requirements from work and work place as of for now
VIJI: work place as in the existing one?
me: no no
I am asking this Qs to know u better to understand what is that u r looking for
what is that u r contended with currently what would u like to change
and what r u ready to do for it
VIJI: i think my career as a trainer in my current company has reached its potential
but it does gives me financial security
me: ok..
VIJI: what i think is working with u during the weekend will give me that extra confidence to do free lancing and ur experience will give a bigger boost
me: ic....but why do u want to do freelancing in the first place
VIJI: hmm what other option do i have
join some training co ? i dont want to be in this industry for sure
me: ic
what kind of income do u expect to have later when u r fully freelancing ?
VIJI: i expect a good hike over a period of time
i mean with experience i wud expect my income to increase
me: :) smart answer viji..
the reason i asked u is to help u get what u want
VIJI: i know that omee
i feel i ve stagnated here Financially d professionally
me: i thought so!
and its a very good sign!
VIJI: its not a good feeling
me: yes i agree about that
VIJI: its frustrating
me: and its there for a very good reason! to MOVE u!
:)
me: else u would be stuck there forever!
VIJI: hehehe
i know !! u know, what my sisters tell me that i dont go for interviews
and dont circulate my cv b'coz i am in the comfort zone
and dont want to move frm there
me: BANG ON TARGET!
:)
VIJI: and i think they r right!
me: heheheh good!
:)
VIJI: hehe
me: nice to know that u have such wonderful sisters, bless them a million! :)
VIJI: ohhh they r the best!!! thanks omee
me: plus nice to know that u r aware of the things about u!
me: : ) now lets be clear about each others expectations so that our journey is smooth and nice
VIJI: okie
me: whenever I work with some one... i usually help with various stuff to begin with... it is usually a special work ... i insist on this work being something which they realllllly love to do)
i share my contacts, network, brand name , most importantly experience and advice....
and the profits are shared equally
VIJI: ok
me: (which, if u r not aware... is MORE than fair enough of the share... looking at the current revenue sharing practices) :)
VIJI: hmmmm sounds interesting!
me: and i believe in doing so (giving more than market trend)
VIJI: true
me: it help in many aspects of business and life too
VIJI: ya
me: now... before i proceed.. any questions?
VIJI: no continue
me: MOST important criterion is ... the person in consideration should TOTALLY LOVE the work we are considering to do.
cuz starting up a business unit is definitely no joke!
VIJI: okie i understand
me: It needs HUGE amount of emotional energy, passion, desire, time and some times financial resources
VIJI: yes
me: we believe in minimal capital investments and thus like to keep the unit thin and slim
VIJI: hm
me: this also gives the concerned person an excellent opportunity to learn various aspects of work ... not just specifically focused work (which usually happens in 98% of jobs)
VIJI: very true!
me: THIS is where the huge amount of growth of a person happens
VIJI: i agree
me: which in turn gives confidence and sharpness to one's work... whatever that might be
VIJI: hmm
me: now the disclaimer is: it looks good.. and even sounds good.. but in real life.. it is honestly tough. lot of new things to be learned, new activities to be done, and even new dimensions to think from
VIJI: hmm i agree
me: and the fun is.. no one but that person can decide if it is right or ok for him/her
to take up this challenge :) so independence is expected right from beginning!
:) and it applies for u too!
VIJI: yes !
me: if u r willing to team up.. then such exercises and task will be given...
and most of them would be challenging (for a beginner) but at the same time... very info rich lessons can be extracted from it. plus great growth can stem from that very exercises
the question is... are YOU ready!? :)
VIJI: I AM! :) seriously like i said.. i am ready
me: great!
then buckle up ur seat belt and get ready for the RIDE OF UR LIFE! :)
VIJI: :)
me: grabb hold of a pen and paper
preferably a notebook which u can record all the stuff we discuss about
VIJI: yes i will note everyting down
me: lets begin with some introspection.....
VIJI: ok
me: these questions are to be answered by u... calmly ... with great care and sincere thought... take ur time... and there is no limit to the length of the answers....
VIJI: okie !
me: Q1. In past so many years, right from childhood... what have I loved doing? be it as simple as playing in mud.. or anything at all.. small big .. it does not matter... just write down all the things u enjoyed doing totally!
Q2, similarly.... what do i do currently... which i completely love to do?
Q3. and even though I may have never done this... I believe I would be really happy to do following things in future, soon:
VIJI: hmm
me: Q4. Money and Success are by products (and to some extent a measure) of one's usefulness to society. so which activities would I like to do so that I may of use to the society via those products or services?
Q5. What have been my dreams since childhood and what are my current dreams?
VIJI: omee do i start answering right now ?
me: no .. take ur time viji
VIJI: ok
me: i want u to write them as thoughtfully as possible... but let them flow on paper directly from ur heart... just let it flow....
me: Q6. What do my parents and my spouse, my children expect from me?
me: this is not just for our work viji... this will be phenomenally significant for ur own life re
VIJI: i know!
me: the more u answer these questions... the clearer you would be about ur own self!!
:)
and Clarity is POWER! tremendous power!
VIJI: hmmm i ve never thought abt all this before
me: now Q7 is a bit strange.. but most important....
Q7, list down ALL the experiences in ur life u can remember (in any order .. in minimum 2 sentences each)
VIJI: ALL??
me: well.. of course u will not remember all of them! :P
VIJI: hehee but good and bad?
me: but the thing is that whichever u remember... u just write couple of lines or more
viji... all includes good , bad, strange, mysterious, anything and everything u remember!
VIJI: hmmmm
me: mind u.. this Q 7 is the MOST powerful of them all , so please do it sincerely, let it take time
VIJI: hmmm okie
me: one person who i asked to do this.. carried a special notebook in bag to write down anything everything that came to memory and within couple of weeks... the book was almost full! :)
VIJI: hmm i think i will do that too!
me: great! u really have to do it for urself to experience what happens after u do it!
:) thats it for now.. only 7 Questions
VIJI: u know what i think it will relieve me all the knots tht i carry in my head
me: :) trust me.. its MUCH more than just that! :)

Are you tired of monotonous life ????
hey there!
I am with you!!!!
Lets us together do something new right away.....
well, to begin with, let us think about this :
What can u do different today?
Did u try be-friending a stranger in last few days?
Did u try looking out for something nice in people
and tell them about it? do it every day!
Did u try making / cooking / finding something special for some one in your life.. (any one!) .. try doing it too!
Did u leave "you are amazing, keep smiling - your secret admirer" card with cute flowers at some one's door steps? do it for ur friend today!
Try reading some short stories and then telling them to kids around! see the joy they get of listening to them!
How about photography?!? KIDS!! they are best to click!!! so many and so cute!!!!
they are naturally very photogenic!! always works!!!
Kids.... that reminds me... how about spending 100 bucks to buy just candies!!!??
just give those kids a super treat of a candy!
Take up a pen and paper... and write a long letter to some one u love,... ur cousin, mom, dad, uncle, aunty, a friend... whoever ... if not any one else... ME! write to me!!!!
:)
Try learning sweet things in the language u dont know! or even start learning a new language!
Umm.. may be you can compose a poem, or write a song, or put music for some song or poem (if u dont know which song/poem.. check out my poem's blog! [;)]) or dance!! you can set a dance for kids in ur locality!
May be just put up ur fav dance song and .. simply let ur body flow to the music as u close ur eyes!
how about pottery? its amazing !!! go try it out!!!
or...
May be... just sit on ur orkut account..
check ur friend list... and see what wonderful quality u see in him/her and write a testimonial ... honest and true... from ur heart to every one..
May be you can just out in temple and sit near the shoe stand.. and quitely slip in a 20 or 50 Rs note in some really worn out shoes.
May be you can go bungee jumping or learn para-gliding.
Heck... if nothing else...
go to toy store and buy urself your most fav toy!!!!
(u will find it when u go there!)
or just simply walk on the road with a smile
..
Smile at strangers who u feel comfortable with
and just offer honest compliments..
(about some one's purse, bangles, dress, shoes, tie, cap, sweater, bracelet, or even his/her SMILE!)
How about.. creating a garden of roses in barren land that is just lying waste near your place?
So many new things to do and explore this world!!!
when u finish doing all of the above mentioned things..
Let me know, i will tell u more!!
:)
