3. Go, Go, Go!
“Thinking always ahead, thinking
always of trying to do more, brings a state of mind in which nothing seems
impossible.” Henry Ford
Now, I know
of this lady who has loved in spite of the odds. The only thing she has known
all her life is to give; give love, time, affection and what not. Yet, she has
been rejected many a times by the very same people who she had loved,
shattering her heart to smithereens. Wow! And I thought I was the only one. Not
likely. There are so many ‘good’ people in the world who are doing their bit to
just give. And give without any conditions, even after the very people they had
loved have moved on. My friend here has been reprimanded n number of times by
her associates, “Look, we don’t want you to be hurt. You have been a giver all
your life and one fine day you will have nothing left inside you. So, we wish
you’d be more careful.” All this has not deterred her and she has stood her
ground with, “I have been born to give. No matter what happens, I will continue
throughout life to love my people.” Most likely, there will be people who will hurt
her again, but all this will never deflect her from that one goal, one motive,
one wish she has in her heart and mind; to give love.
Although
love and giving has nothing to do with what I am about to say, yet there is one
pointer that I would like to take from this lady’s attitude. Her goal! She has
her eyes set on what she wants and she has not swayed from that one thing she
wants to do desperately and passionately; to give love. And she has done this
all her life uptill now.

Sharma has been one teacher I have followed like a shadow over several years
now and I have loved each and every book he has written. After reading MegaLiving!,
I felt nothing is impossible. We use only 25%of our brain in activities which
either brings us small amounts of success or no success at all. The other
unexplored 75%, if utilized to its fullest extent will definitely take us to
new heights.
I
love what Robin Sharma says about MegaLiving! 7 Step Formula to Achieve Your
Goals:
1.
Know what you want
2.
Set precise goals with a deadline & develop
a strategy
3.
Let your goals dominate your thoughts
4.
Use pressure to your benefit
5.
Enlist support
6.
Remember the rule of 21
7.
Have fun and reward yourself
And
for all this, you have to give yourself time. Invest in yourself by waking up
early morning and planning your day, setting goals, both short term and long
term. If you want something desperately, then the only thing you can possibly
do is set goals for yourselves and take steps, even if they happen to be baby
steps. Just see the difference and ofcourse, don’t forget to love. That’s the
only thing the world needs and that too loads of it at this very moment.
