What are you doing with your life? Would you say you are living your dream or are you living from hand to mouth, making the best of things; just getting to the next week; what we might call existing rather than living?
If you are living your dream, then well done; you are truly on the road to success. If you are not living your dream - or even if you have no dream at present - then do not despair because this little book was written for you. We are going to help you find your dream, develop it and then to actually achieve it!
To live a truly successful life, you do need to first have a dream. As Carl Sandburg, American historian, poet and novelist put it, "nothing happens unless first a dream".
If you think about it, nothing at all now exists within our experience of physical reality that did not first exist in the mind of the person who made it or brought it into being. In all cases, everything is created twice; the physical creation follows the mental creation.
To succeed, you must have a dream, or you may prefer to call it a vision, and you must commit yourself to it's ultimate fulfilment - that is the essence of the mental creation.
Here is one of the real secrets of success;

The 7 Keys to Success
When I was quite young, someone told me, “If you want to be really successful, find out what God wants to you to do with your life and then dedicate yourself to achieving it”.
At the time, I didn’t really like that idea; I did not believe that my life could have any particular purpose and I did not think that anything God might have in mind would be of any interest to me in any case. Gradually, I have come to believe that what that person said to me, all those years ago, is true.
As human beings, we all share certain basic wants and needs: we have need for food, water, shelter, safety, love, respect and self esteem. We all share an in-built tendency, as Freud stated, to want to move away from pain and toward pleasure. This tendency is part of the human condition for our own good; it keeps us away from harm and generally helps us to make good choices. Most people settle for pursuing a career that satisfies these basic human wants and needs and never really think beyond them to what their life could be about.
Somewhere along the line, I came to realise that what God wanted for my life, and what I wanted, were one and the same thing. This understanding came after I had determined to find out what God actually wanted me to do with my life.
It was a profound moment for me. I gradually came to understand my inner hopes, dreams and deepest desires as being implanted by God. So pursuing God’s purpose for my life was, in fact, also pursuing my own purpose. When it really came down to it, I finally realised that I needed to look within to discover my own purpose and once I had found out what it was, it then became possible to dedicate myself to fulfilling it.
So my message to you is simple: it is time for you to wake-up! It is time for you to start thinking of your life in a different way. It is time for you to fulfil your dream - whatever that may be. That is why you are here on the planet right now. By finding and fulfilling your own unique purpose

The Success Checklist
1. A Clear Vision: INTENTION.
Our mind processes millions of thoughts in a day. Do you know that your unintended, impulsive wish for having a juicy steak or that perfect martini or a drive across the hills or anything else, might be sabotaging your success?
How?
It's good to have that martini or hang out with your mates or have a day off or whatever it is that you wish. But doing all of this when you are not "clear" (and let me stress on this "CLEAR") of what is going to happen in the future, imparts a negative element called worry in the back of your head.
So if you haven't, asked yourself this question - What Do I want? I suggest you do it right away.
Do not pay heed to thoughts like "how do I do it?" because when you do, you won't dream big. And you will again sabotage your greatest success which lies ahead. It's natural for these thoughts to pop up. So don't resist them or give in to them. Simply don't pay heed to them!
Just write down all the money that you'd like to have after a year from now. The car you'd like to have. The kind of house you'd like to live in. What kind of business do you want? Make it as clear as possible. Jot these down in your journal. And as you go about doing that, tell yourself this: "I do not know how I am going to do it, but I will find a way".
Once you have a clarity of the things you will have in a specific amount of time, you will see how clear and easy, making day to day choices become (provided you have the other elements in this checklist).You will worry less because you will be focused more with a clear state of mind.
SO INTEND.
"Our Intention Creates Our Reality" - Wayne Dyer
2. Faith & Visualization.
Sometime back, I had read somewhere, something that instantly changed my perspective: Faith is the antidote for fear.
And when I write this, I could feel it in every bit of my being. This is because I have personally experienced several situations where I have defeated my fear and even exceeded my goals, whenever I have had inexorable faith in a certain result no matter how difficult it may have seemed to achieve.
And what moulds your faith into reality? You got it: Visualization.
So what you need to do next is: Have faith that you will have, in your possession, everything that you mentioned in that list.
Do not worry about how, when and where. Let the higher intelligence handle that. It is this very urge of our reason which keeps us from getting the desired result.
Back your faith and plant in the pillars of support for your dream with visualization. Meditate into the state of inner silence and see yourself in possession of these goals in your mind's eye. And you need to feel the feelings of gratitude, satisfaction, and that sense of achievement you will have when these goals would have already been achieved. Feel them as vividly as you can, during your practice.
Do this day after another. And rest assured as you would set the right universal forces in motion. As you practice this, faith and visualization process, you will see that those questions, of how, when and where, that were thrown by your reason, will start fading out. And you will start getting ideas and notions that could lead you to achieve your goals.
You will draw the right people, the right opportunities and the right circumstances that would lead you to your goal.
I have found a thriving business, great friends, opportunities of success and most importantly, a strong and loving relationship this way. And I am continuing to prosper and grow more and more day by day.
"FAITH IS TAKING THE FIRST STEP, EVEN IF YOU DON'T SEE THE WHOLE STAIRCASE" - Martin Luther King
3. A Plan.
Now that you have a list of achievements to be made, supported by the pillars of faith and visualization, you'll need a plan to get you there. Let me demonstrate this step to you:
John, a 25 year old chap, has following goals to be achieved by the end of 2016:
He builds a deep faith towards the accomplishment of these goals and tunes in to the higher frequencies of his mind through meditation. And then, he visualizes all that he would do when he gets there. The visualization is so vivid, that he actually hears his family and friends congratulating him. He could feel his heart racing when he would drive that dream car. He watches himself entering his dream house with his partner and he could see the smile on her face and feel the true sense of her happiness. He could actually taste the tanginess of the sun-dried tomatoes on that lovely wood fired pizza when he would throw out a party on receiving his 6 figure paycheck. And he could feel the state of health of his attractive, well-built body.
He does this day in and day out. Whenever he gets the chance. Slowly, he starts living in the sense of "belief" that he is that attractive, successful person with a six figure income and a great relationship. This boosts up his self-confidence and it shows up through his now, proactive and charismatic personality.
He starts noticing ideas and notions that may have been there before but he never believed that they could work out for him. He also begins to see every individual he meets differently and begins to find opportunities in every interaction.
His hobby of guitar playing (which actually was a true passion) becomes an idea. His popular pasta sauce recipe too, becomes another idea. He projects a successful self-image from the future and traces a path back to the present. And then he links all the opportunities to his dream and takes ACTION!
John gathers his resources and makes a great plan with the end result dominating in his mind. This self-organization gives him the time for building excellent health, wealth and relationships.
I would love to mention this quote here:
"GIVE ME SIX HOURS TO CHOP DOWN A TREE AND I WILL SPEND THE FIRST FOUR SHARPENING THE AXE." - Abraham Lincoln.
So dream big, have a clarity of thought, and live in that dream as often as you could to trace a path back (in your mind). Once this has been accomplished, you have won half the battle for all you have to do now is ACT!
4. Bold Execution & Persistence.
This step is all about ACTION! Once you have a plan backed by faith, you must act on it immediately. Remember that Attraction always finishes with "ACTION".
If you have been through the previous elements in this checklist, there shouldn't be any sign of fear surrounding you, during your course of action.
There may, however, be other interference like: peer pressure, competition, etc. Just remember a few things here (as they helped me a great lot and are still helping me out):
Even if you don't have any solid foundation for a certain accomplishment (like a degree, experience, etc.), remember that for the bold execution of his voyage to the Indies, Christopher Columbus did not make use of any intelligence, mathematics or maps.
What most people do not understand is that a true attitude of persistence is a must for success. With faith, comes persistence.
Even though you might have to face several failures, remember that giving up is dooming yourself to one. So have faith in every situation. Good or bad.
In the words of Bob Proctor, develop a "Let Go and Let God" attitude. Just remember that a higher power is creating the bigger picture and all these small failures you may come across are a part of that architecture. You must go through them without giving up.
Every failure is a teacher. Your job is to be a great student and stick to your path. And in no time this attitude will lead you to your greatest success.
"SUCCESS IS STUMBLING FROM FAILURE TO FAILURE WITH NO LOSS OF ENTHUSIASM." - Winston Churchill
5. Gratitude.
The attitude of gratitude may be credited as the sole ingredient to success. I have experienced this enough to guarantee you that living in a true state of gratitude can open myriad doors of opportunities for you.
Gratitude is a very deep subject. Yet, the gist of it all is this: Stay grateful, no matter what.
If you have wealth, be grateful for that. If you don't, be grateful for the wealth that's coming. Now you don't know if it's coming or not. But here's the catch - when you start becoming grateful to what you don't have, you automatically build a strong faith towards it.
And when you can literally feel yourself floating in the ocean of gratitude for that one thing you want to achieve, you set all the forces of this universe in action to attract it to you..
My idea of gratitude is being grateful to the smallest of things which contribute to my being and this world around me. So if I meet you, I will be grateful for that. In fact I am grateful for writing this right now. And I am grateful that you are reading this "right now". And I am grateful for the air I am breathing right at this moment and this moment and this moment...
I hope you get the idea.
"IF THE ONLY PRAYER YOU SAID WAS THANK YOU, THAT WOULD BE ENOUGH" - Meister Eckhart
6. Humility.
Everyone is humble. Yet, most of us are humble when it comes to setting goals and dreaming. Now that's just not fair. Is it?
Most people understand humility to be the quality of being modest and respectful in terms of their social stature. Yet, from what I have learned is that this, is easy to achieve. A rather difficult task is being humble enough to listen.
Humility in the right context makes you a winner in two ways:
Building true humility is a consistent practice on the road to success "and beyond". I stress on beyond as I remember a great quote:
"NOTHING FAILS LIKE SUCCESS" - Robin Sharma
Most certainly. We have often seen successful people to act in a "know it all manner". When you are in a state of mind where you think you know something that the other person is talking about, you are like a glass full of water. Nothing can fill in, no matter what. So you miss out the opportunity of learning something valuable that may come in the course of that conversation.
I don't know if it sounds big to you, but it's a great loss.
Since it is a consistent approach to develop deep humility, make it a habit to practice intense listening. Be crazy about it. Listen to a person even if you know what they are talking about and keep your focus on anything new that may come out. This is true humility.
Personally speaking, I am still working on it, but I have certainly observed great benefits from the small changes I have adopted.
"THE GREATEST LESSON IN LIFE IS TO KNOW THAT EVEN FOOLS ARE RIGHT SOMETIMES." - Winston Churchill.
7. Greatness.
Your final checkpoint is building your own greatness. It has little to do with the success you achieve, the wealth you build.
Your greatness is a true measure of the lives you touch. The happiness you spread. And do not wait for your success to arrive before you start working on building your own greatness. Work every day towards uplifting others. Be it your spouse, your co-workers, your employees, your suppliers, your friends, family etc.
Miracles will start unfolding as you get all those blessings from all the lives that you touch. You will feel one with everything and everyone in this universe.
Live a great life and help others live great lives. That's where your true greatness lies.

John, a 25 year old chap, has following goals to be achieved by the end of 2016:
- A stunning 6 figure income from which he will buy a car and a house of his choice.
- A healthy body weighing 72 kg (about 158lb) with a good built.
- An even stronger and better relationship with his girlfriend.
He builds a deep faith towards the accomplishment of these goals and tunes in to the higher frequencies of his mind through meditation. And then, he visualizes all that he would do when he gets there. The visualization is so vivid, that he actually hears his family and friends congratulating him. He could feel his heart racing when he would drive that dream car. He watches himself entering his dream house with his partner and he could see the smile on her face and feel the true sense of her happiness.

There may, however, be other interference like: peer pressure, competition, etc. Just remember a few things here (as they helped me a great lot and are still helping me out):
- Do not let anyone, any circumstance or situation "control" you by instilling fear (of uncertainty, etc.) in you.
- There is no competition out there. Excel and help others prosper with you. The only competition you will ever have is with you and only you.
- You do not go on a sailing adventure with your anchors hooked to the shore.
Even if you don't have any solid foundation for a certain accomplishment (like a degree, experience, etc.), remember that for the bold execution of his voyage to the Indies, Christopher Columbus did not make use of any intelligence, mathematics or maps.

How Inspiration Leads to Success
When we're inspired, we can truly create anything. It literally changes our perspective from a glass half empty to a glass half full. We are inspired to dream big and do big! Life is exciting! We feel unstoppable - like we can change the world. It's these feelings that fuel us forward. It's this inspiration that drives us to achieve big goals and do great things. It's in this place that we need to stay and operate from.
When we live in an inspired place, we can also see with total clarity how our past experiences shaped who we are today. None of our experiences are bad. They either show us when we're getting off course or when we're on track. Either way, they always serve as a lesson in taking us to the next level. Would we have chosen to sometimes learn the lesson in a different way? Sure. The reality though is our experiences were stepping stones to get us to where we are today. When we look at things with a positive perspective, we can see every lesson we learned and how helpful it was in our growth.
The other great aspect with being inspired is that we have more faith. We have a stronger ability to trust that we will live our purpose and achieve the goals we want to achieve. This is vital for actually doing it. When we know our success is certain, we can focus on being of service to others and living our purpose. Abundance then follows. Pretty amazing right?
Becoming and staying inspired may take a little work. If you need help getting inspired think about movies and books you love, and analyze why. There will likely be some hidden gems in there about what is important to you. Once you know what inspires you, connect with that every day. I like to call this our bigger "why". Why are you in business? Is it to make a difference in the lives of others? Is it about giving back to a cause you feel strongly about? Is it about providing a wonderful life for your family? For me it's about having the freedom to create whatever I desire and showing others how to do the same. This fuels me forward. This is in the forefront of my mind every single day. This inspires me.
In terms of staying inspired, set yourself up for success by creating an environment that enables you to thrive. Surround yourself with like-minded people who lift you up and make you feel good. Read or listen to books that motivate and inspire you. Take time for yourself to make sure you're really feeling good. Uplift yourself in whatever way works for you. Stay in this place as often as you can, and make decisions from this and only this place.

10 Things You Can Do NOW To Be A Better You!
1. Stop the negative self- talk
Your thoughts become your reality, so start to become aware of the inner chatter and consciously stop flooding your mind with dis-empowering thoughts. Make it your mission to catch yourself out in the act and replace negative self-talk with an empowering affirmation to snap yourself out of that bad habit.

2. Clear the fear
Set out to do something that scares you. There's no better way to feel empowered than feeling the fear and doing it anyway! Make fear your motivator rather than your immobiliser. Fear extinction will not only feel stronger but this help you grow both mentally and emotionally by creating a positive response that will help you to continue to counteracts future fear responses.

3. Pick a mantra
Having your own empowering mantra is a great way to power-up, keep focused, ease anxiety and calm the mind. Choose an affirmation or phrase that has special meaning for you by thinking of a problem that you often face and developing a statement that reverses that problem. Your mantra can be spoken silently or out loud and is a great way to develop a positive mindset.

4. Offload baggage
Negative feelings only serve to weigh you down. Make peace with someone you have had a fall out with. Get things off your chest, take any lessons learnt and let go. If you can't do it in person, then write a letter about your feelings and wither send it or store it somewhere. By releasing negative feelings you are healing yourself by clearing energetic and emotional blockages that may be keeping you stuck.

5. Spend one minute in silence
Sitting in silence for even one minute can heal, relax, and reconnect you to your inner self. We are all so busy trying to stay uber-connected with the world that we forget the most important thing is to remain connected to ourselves. Enrich your life by harnessing the power of silence for at least 1 minute a day and you will start to experience the subtle things you normally miss.

Examine what you put in your mouth and how it affects you emotionally, mentally and physically. Food has been proven to be linked to happiness. According to food psychologists, the top five mood-enhancing foods are asparagus, bananas, sunflower seeds, pork and brown basmati rice. Aim to cut out at least 2 junk food items and replace them with healthier choices. Once you start feeling more energetic you will be motivated to change your eating habits for good!

7. Don't compare
Snap out of the bad habit of comparing yourself to others. Comparing yourself is a useless exercise that only serves to feed insecurity and feelings of inadequacy- or on the other extreme feeling of pride and arrogance. Keep yourself in check and find your own authentic inner power by ceasing to look for re-assurance and validation outside of yourself.

8. Laugh till it hurts
Let loose and laugh from the core of your heart because it's good for your health! Laughing not only floods your body with all sorts of feel-good chemicals, it also boosts circulation, your immune system and helps more oxygen be delivered to your cells. Make it a regular routine to catch up with friends you can share a laugh with, go watch a comedy show or rent some funny DVD's.

9. Be grateful for something every day
Adopt an attitude of gratitude. Think of something that you are thankful for every day, from the laughter you share with friends, to the food on your table or the ability to breathe effortlessly every moment and be alive! You will start to sleep better, feel better, exercise more and develop certain contentment in life that eradicates stress and contributes to overall health.

10. Have Faith
Remind yourself that everything will be OK. All problems have a solution. As things move and change, have Faith that everything happens for a reason and to help you learn and grow. God is working things out. If you hold firm belief that things will turn out for the best, they most likely will.

Three Ways to Believe in the Wealth of Your Story
When you think about it, outer wealth is inextrictably connected to what happens inside of ourselves. When we feel scared, insecure or intimated by thoughts or the future, our attention rapidly shifts to outcomes instead of focusing on the present moment when all pleasant possibilities can happen. So many people in the world today put their faith and energy on the outcome of making money and even more money. But the real meaning of money is triggered and valued when you can recognize the true inner meaning of what Deepak Chopra refers to as "wealth consciousness."
Take for example, the feelings and experiences you are carrying right now at this present moment. Each new experience provides the seeds for a new "story." The possibilities for expressing this story are limitless. All we need is a sense of compassion and trust in ourselves and others. When we make decisions based on fear, doubt and uncertainty, we hide and tuck those feelings away because we aren't so sure what to do with them. But yet, those are the feelings that can also bring your greatest transformation.
Expressing these 'story seeds' during life's darkest moments can bring forth new possibilities in terms of nurturing your inner wealth. All we need is a sense of faith in our present moment. To materialize that inherent wealth of yourself in your story, use these tips as a guide:
- Visualize your story touching the hearts of many. Chances are, what you are experiencing goes far deeper than what you ever imagined. Most likely there's a tribe waiting for you to take your story to higher heights. Give those members of your tribe guidance and hope that what they are experience will too, "come to pass." Consider keeping a journal to record your thoughts and reconnect to your moment of connection to yourself.
- Keep the faith in your own journey. Faith that is powerful endures! Even when you feel like giving up, continue to believe in those "story" moments because they are all that you have. You don't need a super-hero story or a "kick-ass" story to recognize that you have the power to be spiritually and physically wealthy. Be your own catalyst for change!
- Give voice to your story. As Deepak Chopra says, "we are social creatures, who thrive in community. Connecting with one another allows us to express our most heartfelt hopes and dreams and be of service to one another." By giving voice to your stories either online through social media networks or in front of a crowd, you automatically invite that sense of connection. There is a saying that people need stories more than food. Another way to look as your story as "wealthy" is to constantly remember how many people you have touched with your stories, not only by how many books or stories you sold. I build my confidence by rereading testimonials people have written to me over the years on how my writing touched their hearts. Immediately, I am renewed with a sense of purpose and connection.
So there you have it, the three tips to building wealth consciousness by believing in the power of your story.
Believe in the power of your story!
