When is the right time to do CHARITY

As per my title, WHEN is the "right" time to do charity ???

 

Many people have different opinion on this.  Let me explain my opinion on this -  CHARITY

 

All of us know, CHARITY is basically contributing for a good cause. It can be a contribution in the form of money or service and this is to be done 'willingly'

Based on my opinion, the fundamental truth behind doing charity is for us to always appreciate on what we have in our lives and to also think about the underprivileged and help them.

 

Couple of years back, I was doing part time 'sales' job.Basically I earned some additional income based on the sales I made.But no matter how much I earned, it never was enough nor it gave me happiness.This is strange and I never understood it back then.

 

Well, this sales job was 10 years back, and after all these years, NOW I understand WHY was I stuck in that scenario.Well basically I was not enjoying what I was doing so internally I was not aligned with myself.Although I go out looking out for customer, with the best tools,without me realizing I sabotaged myself as I didn't believe in what I was doing and I was more focused on my bills and expenses so no matter how much of 'additional' income I had,I somehow attracted the equal amount of expenses in my life.As I mentioned earlier,the whole part of 'internalization' was not there.I always lived in a 'lack' mentality where I always focused 'what is NOT enough' rather than embracing or appreciating on what I have.I have mentioned about this in my previous blogs.

 

Now I would like to highlight one of the most important elements in life (at least for me) which we overlook most of the time.The element of "GIVING BACK TO SOCIETY" or "CHARITY"

 

During my salesman days, I was 'thought' to develop myself first before focusing on charity.Meaning is we have to focus on stabilizing our income first before giving it to the society.This is probably the 'old school' way of thinking but my question is, when will we actually 'meet' the stage of stabilizing our income.When we leave in a hut, we would have a desire to live in a single story terrace house. When we live in a terrace house, automatically we will have a 'face lift' in our desires, in this case,may be to live in a double story house and when we get to a double story house, we will want to live in a bungalow.Same goes to car, income,clothing and everything !!! The point here is, there is never an end to our desires and thats the fact. Lets admit it !!!

So when you have a bigger desire, your expense follows & this will increase your commitments.So basically when you are earning $100 a month, you will just probably eat bread for your meal but once your income hits $ 1000 a month, your whole lifestyle changes.You will no longer eat bread, you will eat a 'full course' meal with dessert ! This is lifestyle changes and its NORMAL.Now my question is , WHEN does the charity element comes in ?

As per the example above,although you are earning $1000 per month, you still have the same amount of commitment when you were earning $ 100 per month.Its just that you have an option to eat better meals right now because of your increase in income, so obviously you will enjoy it.

 

So the irony of we 'being stable' in life before doing charity will never work because as your income grow, your desires will grow and as your desires grow, your expenses will also grow. So this is a never ending story!!

 

My argument on this topic is, its EITHER NOW OR NEVER !!!!

Yes..its either you do CHARITY NOW OR YOU WILL NEVER DO IT.

YOU WILL FOREVER GIVE EXCUSES & REASONS NOT TO DO IT !!

 

Its all about your mindset ! If you are earning $ 100, practice giving at least $ 1 !! Try doing it and you will experience the joy of 'Giving'

 

We have to learn to 'UNLEARN' our old belief about charity or giving back to society..

 

If you google , most of the wealthiest people in the planet have donated huge amount of money to create a great impact to the society.Many of them have even formed organizations with a sole purpose of creating impact in peoples lives.Below are some of the examples of people who have it all but gives equal priority to give back to the society

HOW TO BE CLEAR OF YOUR LIFE DIRECTION

I started to ask this question when I was jobless 2 years back.As I have mentioned in my previous blog http://saigmission.blogspot.com/2013/03/how-did-i-attract-my-job.html I used to watch a lot of inspirational videos during my jobless period.Basically You tube was my best friend and one of the videos which made me think and decide on my life directions is the video below

WISDOM OF WILL SMITH

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkziAM_ZyDM

In the video above, Will Smith clearly mentioned that 'I wants to represent an IDEA....An IDEA to prove that anything is POSSIBLE..An IDEA to prove that you ACTUALLY can be whatever you want to be" Only after watching the video, I realize that I have missed something. Yes..I do have all my material goals listed in my vision board such as my goals of my dream car, my dream house , the amount of cash that I want to have in my bank and etc BUT I didn't have any goals on my personal characteristics. These things didn't cross my mind until I watched Will Smith's video. So I started to ask myself...What is it that I want to represent ? Its quite a deep question which made me think.All these while, all my goals were very external,more focused on material world.I was clear of being a good human being who contributes back to society but I never focused on detail the characteristic which I want to represent.

As a human being,from the initial days, we are somehow programmed TO BE in certain way, TO THINK in certain way,to rely on certain people, to follow the path that has been created by someone else.Although this sounds like a smart move I strongly feel that this somehow creates a lot of limitation in the way we think and perceive things.This practice leads us to the path of 'following' someone or something that has been created rather than allowing us to think and creating something new.The irony here is most of the time we seek inspiration from outside.We are so used to admire someone else’s success and along the way, we will tend to follow,duplicate or emulate their methods of being successful. I guess there is no harm following the footstep of a successful person but if we if explore in detail, most of these successful people paved their path toward success by purely following their intuition.May be in the initial stage you might need some guide or assistance but once you have identified your inner calling ,the divine providence and the divine energy will guide you.

So now,coming back the question,HOW WILL YOU KNOW YOUR INNER CALLING OR YOUR LIFE DIRECTION ? YOU HAVE TO ASK QUESTIONS TO "YOURSELF"..Seek guidance from your "INNER VOICE"

As for me I asked a few question to myself,couple of years back.

The first question I asked myself is:

WHAT DO I WANT TO REPRESENT ?

I mean WHAT are the characteristic I want to be known for ???

The second question I asked myself is:

HOW DO I WANT TO CONTRIBUTE TO SOCIETY?

This is more of identify your 'CALLING'..Something that you LOVE doing,something that you are passionate about and something that you wish to spread it to the entire world.

So these questions made me think deeply and it came out very clear from within on WHAT I WANT TO REPRESENT ? 

There are 3 CHARACTERISTIC which I want to represent and those are : 

I want to represent HOPE

HOPE that something different 'CAN' happen compared to the 'norm' or the current scenario...

I want to represent CHANGE

I want to be tool of GOD to make the impossible,POSSIBLE.

I want to inspire the young generation that you can achieve whatever you want IF you DECIDE on it.

I want to be an example or a role model for youth and make them realize that ANYONE AND EVERYONE can make it in life IF they go within and understand clearly on their 'Calling'

I want to represent REVOLUTION

I want everyone to understand that every single human being in this world can CREATE anything they want, if they BELIEVE in themselves and BELIEVE in whatever they are pursuing.

I want everyone to understand that GOD lives in them and they are no different than the icon or role model that they always look upon.

I want everyone to become a DREAMER..DREAM BIG AND GIVE EVEN BIGGER to the society

I want everyone to realize that they 'ARE' the divine creation of the GOD & they ARE the ones who is going to touch million of life..not someone else but them..

So second to the above question is HOW DO I WANT TO CONTRIBUTE TO SOCIETY..

When thought about it deeply , I realize that I have a great passion and connection towards mother nature.I see Mother nature as MY MOTHER.I feel for nature as much as I feel for my fellow friend and family members.And something inside me, very loud and clear says that its my duty to go out there to the world to CREATE ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS AND RAISE ENVIRONMENTAL CONSCIOUSNESS

The above internalization happened 2 years back and ever since, I didn't looked back nor I regretted even for a second.

So dear brothers and sisters, I have REALIZED and UNDERSTOOD my calling...

WHAT'S YOURS ???

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO REPRESENT ??? 

HOW DO YOU WANT TO CONTRIBUTE BACK TO THE SOCIETY ???

Ask these questions to YOURSELF and you will definitely get the answer from within...

DECIDE and MOVE FORWARD..

DNA

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a molecule that encodes the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms and many viruses.Well those are scientific terms.To put it in a normal sentence, I would describe DNA as an element which contain the characteristic of the source from where is came.So as a child, we would have our parents DNA embedded in us which influences our physical appearance ,our characteristic and etc.

 

But as for me, putting the blame on our DNA for what we are right now is a mere excuse.For example, if your parents have diabetes,there are high possibilities for you to get diabetes BUT it doesn't mean that you WILL have diabetes.Its a mere assumption or possibilities but its not a 'FACT' yet.Many times we just except what the so called 'expert' says without even thinking or even questioning it.In this case of parents having diabetes,we don't have to actually settle with the mind set that , one day we WILL get diabetes.Instead of that,we can see it in a positive way by taking it as a precaution. We have the option to 'change' our lifestyle and change the way we think.We have an option to choose a healthy lifestyle with a healthy eating habit.So basically its about changing your mindset and putting your thoughts on the positive side of every scenario.You have to believe and have HOPE that things will be better and there are always possibilities of have a "happy ending"

We are so programmed to always except "SAD Endings" as a fact or reality but in actual reality it doesn't have to be that way.

 

Assuming your are born in a poor family.Your parents, grandparents and your family members are all poor.So basically you have a "POOR" DNA in you right,because of your parent.Does it mean that you have to end up being poor ? Definitely not !!! You will only end up poor if you BELIEVE you are poor and if you BELIEVE you are going to end up poor.Again its basically YOUR THOUGHTS & YOUR BELIEVE SYSTEM.

So guys, in summary, don't put the blame on your DNA as it got nothing to do with WHAT you are going to be in future.Its all in the MIND,THOUGHTS & BELIEVE SYSTEM

HOW to MEDITATE at your office

I know..after reading the title, you might be wondering..."Is it possible???? "

Trust me on this guys, I will bring you through...but again, whatever I'm sharing is purely based on my experience so you try it out first and see what works best for you..

 

WHY MEDITATION

First of all lets see WHY meditation is important ? 

If you ask me,MEDITATION is a beautiful experience where you drop all your thoughts and go into a different world.Its an experience that you can't describe in words.You have to feel it and experience it.I will go in detail on HOW to do it later, but first,allow me to address WHY you need meditation.A simple example...

What will happen if you don't take shower for few days ? You will stink, you will feel uneasy,smelly,dirty and you definitely won't be in your best form, no matter how much of perfume you use. So to keep your body clean, you have to take bath everyday.That's the same concept you should use for your mind.Based on some research (as per below link) our mind has close to 50,000 thoughts DAILY !!!! Ya, its 50,000 thoughts !!! And only you as an individual will know how many of them are positive and negative thoughts.So if your mind if full of positive thoughts,its awesome but what if its full of negative thought.Thought which lead you to worries, sadness,uncertainty,anger,hatred and etc.How are we going to cleanse these thoughts ?We are talking about 50,000 thoughts DAILY,not weekly or monthly !

So if your mind is clogged with negative thoughts today, and you don't cleanse it or neutralize it today,there is huge possibility for you to bring these thoughts to the next day, same as if you don't shower today, you will bring along your sweaty,sticky feeling to the next day.And if you don't shower for few days, its makes thing worse rite, you will stink even worse, so same goes to our mind, if we don't cleanse our thoughts on a daily basis, there are huge possibilities for us to accumulate all our negative thoughts day after day.

I hope the little example above have made you understand on WHY we need to meditate on a daily basis...

HOW do you do it at OFFICE

Do you think its possible ??? Yes of course it is...Let me share my experience. But guys, as crazy as it may sound...please try it out first before jumping into conclusion.My main objective here is to bring you to a mindset which allows you to see things on the positive side,from the inside out or in another words, to make sure you are in a state of "flow" where you don't just utter positive things mechanically but really feel and believe it.So now coming back to the point.. HOW TO MEDITATE IN YOUR OFFICE

 

LEAVE EARLY

Firstly let me share my experience with you.Well, basically I'm an early bird,I leave to work very early in the morning.I leave at 6.30 am and I will be in my office building by 7.10 am.To tell you the truth, I'm not an early bird by chance but by CHOICE.I have to wake up early and leave early to office as the traffic at my place is really bad.If I leave early to work (6.30am ), I will reach my office within 30 to 40 minutes but if I leave 15 minutes later,which is 6.45am, it will take me at least 1 hour or more to reach my office so.... you see the difference..?

I have  been doing this for the past 1 year and I never regretted.The only difficult part is to wake up early but once you are use to it, its never a problem.I guess the first thing you should do is stop saying,"I can't wake up early" and etc as the more you say it , the more you send the message to your subconscious mind that you CAN'T wake up early.The reason I suggest all of you to leave early to work is because if you start your day early, you won't get stuck in the traffic jam and secondly you won't have the 'rush' factor influencing your mind in the beginning of the day itself.I'm not sure how bad is the traffic in your area but whether the traffic is bad or not, leaving early and arriving early at your work place always gives you the 'valuable' extra time for you to go within and start your day with the proper positive mindset.If you start your day with a "rush factor" in your mind, you bring it with you all day long.

 

THAT 'EXTRA' TIME

If you are driving to work like me, once you reach your office car park,DON'T immediately get down from your car.Basically if you want to calm down your thoughts, relax and internalize, you need a quiet place just for yourself and I believe, YOUR CAR is the BEST place for this.Trust me on this as it really works for me.As I mentioned earlier, I  reach at my office building at 7.10am. So once I'm there, I will sit in my car comfortably and I will meditate.Yes..I meditate in my CAR !!! A place where no one will disturb you and I propose the same to all of you.Just try it out and give me your feedback.NO harm trying right ?

 

HOW to meditate

For a start, I would propose for you guys to allocate at least 5 minutes in the morning.Below are the 'Step by step' method which I would recommend but again I'm doing the recommendation based on my experience so I would still suggest you guys to try it out before jumping into conclusion.

 

1) Sit comfortably in a quite place

2) Take a deep breath , as deep as possible.

3) Then exhale out slowly.

4) Your focus should be your "BREATH"

5) Do it continuously and you will realize that the thoughts in your mind will fade away slowly.

6) Its definitely not easy in the first 2 rounds as you will have a lot of thoughts coming in your mind.

7) Try your level best not to participate in the thoughts which is running in your mind.Its just like in the movies, you will have  lots of scenes running in your mind but don't be part of the scene,by participating in it mentally.

8) The moment your realize you have thoughts, immediately try to divert your mind by focusing on your breath.

9) Just keep doing it for at least for 3 continues days and you will see the difference.

 

The irony here is, you have to start somewhere and STOP giving excuses.

 

BREATHING is a system which is created by GOD ALMIGHTY and all I'm suggesting here is to go with flow of the creator.

 

Remember..just focus on your BREATH.

 

WASH ROOM / MEETING ROOM

If you are using public transport to work,I have another crazy suggestion for you.This is something which I do it my self.Sometimes it will be too stressful in the office and I just have to find a place to be alone.Guess what, the best place for me, to calm down my thoughts, in the office is my office WASH ROOM...

Yes its MY OFFICE WASHROOM!!!!!! As crazy as it sounds, but think carefully, this is the only place where no one will disturb you or question you.Go in there,shut the door and just do your breathing exercise.Immediately it will give you a calming effect and put you in a neutral mindset.

As your are reading, your 'intelligent & intellectual' mind will say "Won't it be smelly in the wash room ??"...as I have mentioned couple of times, please try it out first..

 

Remember, our main purpose is to clear the thoughts in our mind so that we can go through the day with a clear and calm mindset.It doesn't matter whether you meditate, in your car or office washroom, all that matters is for you to have a moment for yourself and trust me, no one will notice this !!!! Its all about internal effect....

In summary, nothing is IMpossible..

Just decide and do it..

How to be BLISSFULL in a "shitty" scenario

HI There, here I am again to share something which took me years to discover and somewhat works wonders.So as the title goes, HOW can we stay blissful when we are in a 'shitty' moment.That happens often in our lives right ?

In our day to day activities, there might be times that we are in fully 'contended', I mean we are in a good mood, everything seems to be in control and it looks like sun shine all the way.But there might be sometimes that, things are just not right.Everything seems to happen completely opposite from our expectation.In some cases, for no reason we will be screwed.Do you wonder WHY these things happen ? Its just like a roller coaster ride, sometimes we will be in a peak state and sometimes we will be emotionally down and feel shitty.

The irony here is 'SHIT" happens but HOW can we overcome it ?

Below are some of my personal experiences on how I maintain the 'State of Flow' throughout the day

GRATITUDE

Firstly, every day without fail, I start my day with a GRATITUDE exercise.Its my 'daily ritual' for the past 2 years.For your information, I drive to work so the moment I drive out from my house compound, I will start this GRATITUDE exercise of thanking GOD for everything that I have.My recite goes like this :

Thank you GOD for my wonderful family

Thank you GOD for my 3 beautiful kids

Thank you GOD for my job

Thank you GOD for my car

Thank you GOD for this road which I'm travelling right now

Thank you GOD for giving me this mindset of doing this 'Gratitude' exercise'

Thanks you  GOD for my legs & hand and all my organs which is functioning well..

Thank you GOD.....

Well the list goes on for good 10 to 15 minutes.I will try to go as detailed as possible and I will try to find all reasons possible to THANK GOD.This exercise somehow makes me start my day with a positive note and positive feeling.Its a simple exercise that many of us overlook but for me but it gives a great impact.The irony of this exercise is, each time when you do it, you will realize how much actually GOD have given you and how much you are gifted you can't thank him enough for that.

Another advantage of starting your day with gratitude is, when you start your day with appreciating what you have, you will somehow have 'less' focus on what happened yesterday or what went wrong yesterday.In my case, before I was doing this GRATITUDE exercise, I use to start my day with a 'blank' mind.So I realized that when my mind is 'blank' , the whole game of 'picking' on the negativity starts..I start to think of what happened yesterday and start to pick on what all went wrong and without realizing, I start to attract all the negative emotions such as anger,hatred and dis-satisfactory in my routine in that particular day.So basically before even starting my day, I have attracted all these negative emotions in my day and this is mainly because of picking on what happened 'yesterday'.As the saying goes "An Idle mind is a DEVILS WORKSHOP" !!!

So basically this GRATITUDE exercise helped me to disconnect my focus from my past experiences and made me focus and be grateful of the 'current' moments.So that's GRATITUDE

EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique)

The next thing that I use to do is EFT.This technique is quite famous in the western countries but I have not heard much of this in ASIA, at least till to date.Well this is some sort of action which helped me to acknowledge the problem which I had and overcome it with love.For example,if I'm pissed with my boss, using the EFT technique I will tap my finger and say out loud 

"Even though I'm really pissed with Mr X, I COMPLETELY LOVE & ACCEPT MYSELF"

This is a strange ritual ,which helped me to acknowledge my problems,which has been running in my head,bring it forward and clear it with LOVING myself.Yes...you heard it right...by 'LOVING MYSELF'

A strange way to overcome problems but its very very very effective...

Well, only after doing this EFT, I realized that the fundamental cause for all the issues we are facing in our lives is our 'internal feeling', so its basically US and not the world outside there.So if we can neutralize our emotions within by LOVING OURSELVES,then the issues we are facing currently will become complete obsolete because you are not reacting to it.The more we react to certain scenario's, the more we are feeding it with emotions & energy and at the end of the day, that's what will materialize.Remember THOUGHT+EMOTION=MATERIALIZATION.Well,switching your mind or diverting your thinking to something else will only give you 'temporary' relief.Unfortunately after a while, all the thoughts which has been going around in your mind, will surface .Basically sweeping things under the carpet will never help. So this EFT technique, made me internalize; identify the actual thoughts which is bothering me,face it & clear it with LOVE & COMPASSION to MYSELF.

For your information, the transformation doesn't happen overnight, it requires continues practice. I would also like to confess here that I didn't take any specific training on this EFT. Basically Youtube was my 'guru'. Its working  well for me till to date, so if you want to know more about EFT, please Google or Youtube it.

DIVERT YOUR THINKING:

SET A HIGH VISION THAT MAKES YOUR CURRENT PROBLEM OBSOLETE

As per my Vishen's talk (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8ZFU4FoNvY) its very important for us to set a higher goal or vision, which excites us and which makes our current problem obsolete.A simple example is assuming, you have financial problems right now, your saving are not growing but depleting and your expenses are up to your neck. In a normal scenario, what will we do ? We will worry about what is going to happen tomorrow, based on our current scenario, in this case is financial issue. Based on our current bank balance, we will worry about HOW are we going to meet our end to end needs if the bank balance stays like this. This feeling of 'WORRY' will eventually add up to the 'FEAR' and basically your whole thought and emotions will be around your financial issue. So as I have mentioned before, THOUGHT + EMOTION = MATERIALIZATION. So when you keep thinking about your financial situation (THOUGHTS) and worry too much about it (EMOTION) eventually thats what you will attract. More of financial issues and difficulties.

What I have learnt along the way is our MIND IS A MONKEY MIND. It keeps jumping from one thought to another, as the monkey jumps from one tree to another. So the game is, we have to feed our mind with a 'RIGHT' thought.What I’ve realized is, each time I have an issue, I tend to 'only' focus on issue and that brings about all the negative emotions (fear,anxiety and etc) in me and eventually attract more of these scenarios in my life.So what I learnt is, if we set a higher goal for ourselves, somehow our thoughts will be focused on that goal and we will no longer think of the current scenario.We have to create a higher vision of what we want to experience.So assuming that you are facing financial issue right now,what I would propose you to do is :

1) Clearly set a goal of HOW MUCH you want to have in your bank account.Write it down in future tense

2) Visualize AS IF you already have it and HOW DOES IT FEEL to be there

3) Decide HOW MUCH you want to contribute to the society.

Keep in mind that all these thoughts have nothing to do with your current reality.YOU CREATE YOUR OWN REALITY by focusing on HOW you want things to be or to materialize.

The below statement is a sample of what I did for myself

Its 5.5.2014 Today, and I have ($ The amount you desire to have) in my (Account number/Bank) and I will contribute ($$$ Amount that you want to donate) for charity.(decide on what charity you want to do)

'I LOVE MYSELF' technic (Something which I discover myself)

This is something that I discover myself by "chance".After reading and watching a lot personal growth videos, I realize that, one of the main element which brings us to the next level of our growth is 'aligning your energy within'.When I mentioned 'energy' its basically the feeling and experience that you have within.So what I came to know is, the fundamental element which gives a great impact in aligning your energy within is LOVE.SO basically, when I have any issues, now, I will just close my eyes and say "I LOVE MYSELF".I don't merely say it but I will feel it within,right in the core.So when I do this, most of the time, I will feel a rush of energy flowing through me and that neutralises my feeling and energy within.

So guys, the above are some of the methods which works best for me, it might be different for you.

So please use what works best for you and also share if you have any other methods which you practice yourself.

Remember :
ITS ALL IN YOUR THOUGHTS and YOU CAN CHANGE IT IN SPLIT SECONDS


So that's for now...

Dear readers,
May GOD bless you with ABUNDANCE OF LOVE,HAPPINESS,HEALTH & WEALTH

How did I attract my JOB

Sounds like an interesting topic rite! Well it IS !!!

Its all started when I lost my job in one of the American MNC company which I was working 2 years back.The company was sold of to the competitor and we were layed out from our jobs.I was in this company for 2.5 years so basically I received compensation money which will lasted me for 3 months.

Well this was my first experience of being layed of from my job.As much as I was exited to received the compensation money , i was also nervous as in what's going happen after 3 months as I have a family to feed and bills to pay.What will happen IF I don't get a job within 3 months ?So here comes the whole 'mind' thing in place.

LEARN TO GIVE

By the grace of GOD or DIVINE PROVIDENCE, this was the time I got exposed to the whole "SECRET movie" thingy.So I was into the whole "think positive" stuff and etc.For some reason the one thing I was very clear about is "NOT TO ACT THE SAME WAY AS HOW THE NORMAL PEOPLE WILL REACT"when they are jobless. Meaning is I decided to react on this 'JOBLESS' scenario in acompletely contradicting way against the 'norms'.So basically when some one is jobless, they will think about every single penny that they spend because it might not be enough for tomorrow (future) Smart thinking but it didn't impress me.I did completely the opposite.I donated a big chunk of my compensation money to charity.A crazy move but made me feel like a millionaire when I had none :-P 

To be frank, I donated the most money for charity when I was JOBLESS !!!! Strange isn't it ?? But ya..that's the truth.So with that mindset somehow I overcome the fear of  "not enough" and started to live the life of "ABUNDANCE".You see, the actual fact is I have money for the next 3 months but normally what we will do?? We tend to worry of what's going to happen AFTER the 3 months and that's where the whole 'FEAR GAME' starts.

I basically didn't let my mind to wonder much.Instead, I was watching to a lot of motivational & inspiration video.In a normal circumstances,what will a jobless person do?He/She will be busy buying newspapers to check out job vacancies, go for headhunters, register in all the 'Job Search' services and basically spend 200% for job hunting.I was very serious with my principle of ONLY DOING CONTRADICTING stuff so I only spend about 30% of my time hunting for jobs.I didn't go after any head hunters nor I wend job hunting drastically.I did apply for job but not all day long.Basically I was more focused on 'myself'.I meditated a lot & I watched a lot for inspirational video just to keep the "HOPE" in me going.I realize that, when you tend to focus on positive stuffs which give you the feeling of 'HOPE', somehow you will 'forget' about the fear in you.The fear feeling of not getting the job, the fear feeling of not able to fulfill my end needs and etc.These exercise of watching You tube helped me a lot from disconnecting from the negative thoughts and engage to the positive thoughts.I guess its all about keeping your mind busy with something positive stuff.Some of the video's that I watched is :

DO YOUR VISION BOARD

I guess this is the right time to define where you want to be in future.The pain of 'current' scenario can be a great seed to 'DEFINE' how you want your future to be but most of the time we don't do that.We keep focusing on our current scenario.If you are broke currently, you will definitely know the pain and the frustration of being broke so most of the time we will end up in a "WHY ME?" syndrome where we keep questing our current reality.When you are in this 'WHY ME' syndrome definitely we will have a strong 'negative' emotions tied to it and the end result would be, we will attract more of this sympathetic scenario in our lives.There is this "Other area" that many of us don't focus on.The area of "HOPE".As much as we can worry of the current scenario, we can also think or imagine of HOW your life would be if you are completely in the 'opposite' scenario.Its just a matter of CHOICE.A 'choice' of looking into the positive side rather than the negative side.So what I did was I used this jobless time to build my VISION BOARD.Ya I actually build my 'Vision Board' when I was jobless! I put my thoughts on HOW my life will be in future rather than putting my thought on me being jobless and etc.So its all about putting your thoughts on the positive side.When you have a strong HOPE of the future, internally you will feel good and the feeling that you have internally will somehow attracts the positiveness in your life.I was actually thinking of the kind of job I wanted to have, the position, the working attire, the travels and all those good stuff I wanted to have.Not only I build my vision board, but I actually 'VISUALIZING' it as if it was real.During this time, somehow I got exposed to this thing called "Napolean Hills' Invisible Counselors Technic" and that took my visualization to the next level.

DO WHAT YOU LOVE & SCREW OTHER PEOPLES THOUGHT
When you are in a helpless position, there will be a lot of people around who will try to help you.Most them will try to help you by sharing their experience and indirectly impose 'their' best practices on you,which is OK in some sense, as they are trying to help.But there will be some people who will just come in your life to give 'free' advice and make you feel like shit !! You get what I mean...these people will just come with a big smile, pour everything and at the end of the day, they will make you feel like shit and take your 'smile' away.My only advice....Screw all these people, you definitely don't need them in your life.When I say 'Screw' them, i didn't mean screw them verbally or physically !!! What I mean is 'Screw' their THOUGHTS...'Screw' their 'THEORY' and 'SCREW' their BELIEVE SYSTEM.Guys, the point here is,other peoples experience don't have to be your reality.You get what I mean..if someone has done something for the past 10 years,may be successful in it, that doesn't have to be the only way of success, you might discover some other way.You define your own success.All you have to do is listen to your voice within and just follow it undoubtedly.Well my story on this chapter goes like this.It was already 2 months and I'm still jobless,I've applying for job, attending interviews and etc but nothing seems to work yet.During this time, I was involved in my favorite social service activity which is called CCC (Community Cleaning Club).Its an activity to create environmental awareness and raise environmental consciousness among the public,mainly focus on cleanliness.Basically what we do is, we get down to the streets and PICK UP RUBBISH !!!! Its a dirty job but for me, there is so much of 'spiritual' element in it and it was so 'BLISSFUL' doing it.The point here is I was doing what I love doing the most, which had the 'heart' element all around it.But being 'Jobless' and 'Picking up Rubbish' was NOT at all a good combination for a successful person,in the eye of the public.Each time when I get down to the ground to do CCC with garbage bags in my hand, some will really adore me and appreciate me but some will give me a pathetic & a sympathetic look,which will make you feel like shit but again, my only 'motto' that time was "SCREW PEOPLES THOUGHT" 
I was in some sort of a 'defensive' mode where I never bothered what people think about me and what's going to happen tomorrow.All I wanted to do is be in a state of 'flow' where you can be happy & feel the divine in the 'inside'

So here comes the most painful cum strengthening moment.One fine day, one the 'elders' in my family called me and my wife to his office.The scenario is like this, he was sitting in front of me and me & my wife was sitting side by side, facing him.He asked me, how is the progress of getting the job and etc but obviously my answer was negative as till that date I went for couple of interviews but I didn't get a job yet.He pulled out a paper and started advising me.He drew "Maslow's Theory" chart and started advising me.He said firstly we need to secure our Physical need (food,health and etc) then we have secure our SECURITY needs (shelter,safety and stability) then only comes SOCIAL needs (social service and etc)..then he stopped there for a moment and looked at me.I was wondering why is he telling me all this which I actually know..only after few minutes, I realized that he was actually picking on my 'social service' activity which is 'CCC = Picking up rubbish'.
So what he is trying to say is, "Dude..Get a job first, get a constant income,then you focus on CHARITY".Well these are my words but this is exactly what he wanted to portray to me.It was quite an embarrassing moment for me, I could not look into his eye and it seems like I was on the 'losing' side.My heads were down but my 'thoughts' were up high.I was telling in my heart "GOD, you have to do something about it, I'm not doing anything wrong"..Quite a painful moment but again I was back into my 'motto', "SCREW PEOPLE'S THOUGHTS" So in this case it was "SCREW MASLOV'S THEORY"
I was very clear that I won't stop doing charity or social service.Many think that we should establish ourselves first, only after that we should involve in charity or social service.That's completely a BULLSHIT !!
This so called "establishing" ourselves is a never ending story.Our desires will never end and that's the fact.So my simple argument is, if you don't do social service NOW you will never do it when you are THERE (ESTABLISHED) because once you are so called 'Established' you will have more things to do...different priorities and etc.So its NOW or NEVER !!!!



CLIMAX : VISUALIZATION

Although this topics ties to the VISION BOARD which I mentioned earlier, I would like to talk about it at the last part as this is where the actually story of materialization took place.I started to imagine myself getting the job I want.I started to visualize the details as in what Shirts I will wear to office, HOW does my office room look like and etc.So its pretty much diving into 'details'.So I attended couple of interview and there was this one interview which I strongly felt I will get the job.Let me just name it as company X.Its a well know "MNC" company.So, after the second interview, I asked the Director "What is the post that you are going to offer? " He said " We have create one NOW...Its going to be a regional role but the HR will get back to you on this" So basically they are creating a post which didn't exist, for me, if I'm successful so I started diving into my visualization exercise more vigorously.
  I started to visualize as if the appointment letter is in front of me.I started to visualize the details in the appointment letter, which is the company logo, my designation and reporting date.These 3 details are very significant so please pay attention here.

Company logo
I imagines as if the company logo was on the left hand side of the appointment letter.

Designation
At that time, they didn't have any designation confirmed for me, so the designation which I imagine for myself was "SERVICE DELIVERY MANAGER"

Joint date
The joint date which I visualized on the appointment letter was 5TH JULY 2010.

So here comes the miracle of LAW OF ATTRACTION
After i guess 2 weeks I received a call from the HR telling that they are offering me the job.I was like "YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS"....That didn't end there, the position that they are offering me is"APPLICATION SERVICE MANAGER" ,what I visualize what "SERVICE DELIVERY MANAGER" but what actually materialized is "APPLICATION SERVICE MANAGER"  so it was 75% of what I visualize..

And now comes the 'mind blowing' part.As I mentioned earlier, I visualize my joint date as 5th July 2010.But according to the HR, they want me to join on the 12th of July 2010.At this time round I completely forgot about the date of joint which I visualized on the appointment letter (5th July 2010) , obviously I was so happy that I got the job so the date of joint didn't really matter but the "UNIVERSE" see's every single thing.
ON 2nd of July 2010 (Friday), I received a call from the Director and he requested me to join early.He wanted me to join as early as next monday to take the handover, so without hesitating I said OK.Even at that time I didn't think of the date, but later in the evening, my wife told me that "You are going to join your new work on your lucky date".Only then I realized that I was actually going joint my new job on 5th JULY 2010, WHICH WAS ACTUALLY THE DATE I VISUALIZED !!!!!!!

That's AMAZING isn't it.This Law of Attraction stuff really works...

I would also like to highlight that it was NOT ONLY ABOUT Law of Attraction.There were also some divine souls who really helped me & recommended me to their company HR contacts so that I can get a job soon.I have to say that I got the job, not only because of the change in my mindset but also because of some good souls who helped me effortlessly.

I'm summary :

DO THINGS THAT YOU LOVE & BELIEVE
SCREW PEOPLE'S THOUGHTS..
YOU DEFINE YOUR DIRECTION
VISUALIZE & WAIT !!!
THE BEST OF THE BEST WILL COME TO YOU

May GOD bless all the reader with abundance of LOVE,HAPPINESS, HEALTH & WEALTH
