So you have decided to lose weight. Great!
Why do you want to lose weight?
- to live a healthy and disease-free life
- to look younger and more attractive
- to feel more confident about yourself
- to gain popularity in social circles
- to be able to wear the clothes of your choice
- to live a more active life
- to enjoy life in full, etc.
Are you the same person who used to be in 2009? If you do not change yourself then you will remain the same person even after ten years.
I just want to remind you that 31 days of the (new) year 2010 have passed away. A whole month is behind us. It’s time to review your progress.
What changes you have brought in your life since January 1? It is quite possible that you may have forgotten the pledges you made to yourself!
It’s true that old habits die hard but you must strive hard to change your bad habits into good ones. This is the only way you can succeed in life.
Do you want to know your poverty graph? You are poor if you:
- do not have a firm commitment with yourself to succeed
- do no set goals and follow them through
- do not put your best efforts at work
- do not keep yourself updated on new information and technologies
- do not adopt a positive attitude and get rid of negative thinking
- are not strong enough to accept the challenges of day-to-day life
- are not ready to take any risk due to fear of failure
- lack self respect and respect for others
No more tensions in 2010
Start your new year with a big smile and a positive state of mind. No more tensions, no more worries.
Are you satisfied with your achievements in 2009? If not then you need to change your thinking, change your habits, change your life style, change whatever you can to attract success in your life in 2010. Believe me, nothing will change in your life, unless you change yourself.
Every year, in the month of December, I advise you to chalk out your success agenda for the coming year. I ask you to set goals and write down your success formula for the new year.
But this year, I am not going to ask you to write down your ambitious plan for the coming year. I am giving you a different advice this year! Don’t worry, what I will tell you would be in your best interest.
Are you living a happy and successful life? Certainly not, I presume. If you had been living a happy and successful life then you would not have been here reading this article!
If you cannot love, you can't live because love is the soul of life. Can you imagine of living without soul? Of course not!
What love really is?
Love is much more than the romantic feelings, physical attraction, or sexual desires between a man and woman. Love is the divine force within you which keeps you motivated to do the things you love to do. When you are in love your excitement level crosses all boundaries thus giving you the most powerful inner strength you need to excel in any field of life.
Are you in love?
Do you think yourself lucky or believe that you are a born unlucky person? How do you define good luck?
Most people think themselves lucky only if they win a lottery, get a surprise raise in pay, receive an expensive gift, achieve an excellence award, get nominated for an overseas assignment, win a trophy in sports or buy a dream car/house. I have a different view about luck. I think you are lucky if:
- You are in good health and have a strong desire to keep yourself healthy and physically fit..
- You are keeping a balance between your professional and family life.
More and more people, around the world, want to see themselves in great shape. Women are more conscious about their slim, smart and sexy looks. To look smart is a positive healthy sign and I encourage those who are taking weight loss programs and are in the process of losing their weight. But the ugly fact is that most people lose money instead of losing weight. Why? Because they are not sincere to their bodies. Yes, the number one reason of their failure in losing weight is lack of sincerity to their bodies.
You are lucky if you have a dream to realize, a goal to reach and a target to achieve!
Well, if you have a dream and you are strongly committed to realize that dream through hard work and planned efforts then you are the most powerful person on earth. Why? Because your dream has the power to keep you motivated to do the things you need to do to paint your dream into a living reality.
