THE #1 SKILL YOU MUST LEARN TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN LIFE
====================================================
2) How to stop yourself from procrastinating immediately
3) A simple technique I created to prevent myself from falling into the “procrastination rut” that you can use freely
From Procrastination To A Life of Passion!
I was browsing through Facebook just now when I saw something that switched on a lightbulb for me :
Of course, this might not mean anything to you. Actually, it shouldn’t mean anything to you… but it contains a great secret for moving from procrastination to a life of PASSION.
To me, this photo depicts PURE and TRUE passion!
Let me explain it to you.
You see the girl on the left? That’s Julia Abueva. She’s a singing prodigy and she’s only 14. Yes, she’s one of those really talented children of God.
I don’t think I could explain to you how good she is. Her singing is simply beautiful (I caught her in a musical recently here in Singapore)
How beautiful?
It’s “I’ve been featured on Oprah” beautiful.
Yes, she’s been featured on Oprah! AMAZING! (Julia, if you’re reading this… you’re a true inspiration!)
You can view clips of her beautiful singing on her Youtube channel by clicking here.
The Secret To Being Featured On Oprah
Anyways, back to the secret this photo holds.
TRUE and PURE passion.
I don’t know Julia personally but I’m guessing that this was taken at a family gathering. Yet, she’s singing for her family.
What’s wrong with this picture? Nothing.
But something might be wrong with yours, my friend.
You see, over the past few months of coaching people, I realized that almost everyone has the wrong impression that your passion should be something that you during an “allocated time”.
That’s nonsense! (And when you think of it, you’ll know it is!)
Pas-sion : - noun
a strong or extravagant fondness, enthusiasm, or desire for anything: a passion for music.
Passion isn’t something you allocate time for.
It’s something you’re thinking about ALL the time!
It’s something you should almost be obsessed with!
It’s something you live, eat and breathe!
What’s Your Passion?
I’ve got to be honest with you, my friend.
I got distracted by a lot of stuff over the past two years and haven’t been truly living my passion.
But after seeing that photo, it all came back to me.
How passionate I used to be about personal development.
How I would go around and tell all my friends about these quotes from wise people (that in turn make me sound wise lol).
How I would speak like Tony Robbins and say stuff like “LIVE WITH PASSION!”
Today, I’ve found my path of passion again : Change lives by motivating and inspiring people towards the untapped greatness in themselves and creating MASSIVE results with the help of personal development technology.
Now You Talk, I Listen…
How about you, my friend?
What’s your passion?
Drop me a comment and let me know what you think!
I’d love to hear from you ( I respond to all comments personally!)
Pleased to know about your dedication in helping people.
So i would like to share one of my problems with you which I believe you’ll be glad to solve.
Although I have confidence on myself but people’s criticism about me make me doubtful about my abilities. So I’ll be very thankful if u can suggest an antidote against this problem of mine.
Regards
Shivani

Hi Shivani!
Wow long time since I last heard from you..
Anyways, that’s a very common problem.
I’d like you to consider something.
Do you REALLY have self-confidence if other people bring you down?
If you think about it hard enough, no.
That’s not really self-confidence.
To me, self-confidence is being confident in your ability to manifest
something into your life no matter how difficult the odds get.
So I propose we go by a two-pronged approach here :
1) Increase your “self-confidence”
How do you have more faith in yourself?
I’d like to share with you something that has helped me thoroughly.
“I can be what I will to be. Try to come into a thorough understanding of
the true nature of the “I”; if you do, you will become invincible.”
- Charles F. Haanel, The Master Key System
You’ll automatically have more faith in yourself when you realize that the
“I” you’re talking about is also an extension of Universal/Source energy.
That the true “I” is able to manifest anything because it’s an extension
of the Universe’s / God’s power.
You are an extension of that power which created the world.
Once you truly understand that, you’ll have faith in yourself no matter what.
Tell me if this helps you.
2) Remove yourself from the environment
The second thing you must do is to remove yourself from the critics,
interact less with them and…
START INTERACTING WITH SUPPORTIVE PEOPLE.
Get a friend who supports you in everything you do, Shivani.
Get a group of friends and start a MasterMind Group as mentioned by
Napoleon Hill in Think & Grow Rich. (By the way, join my mastermind group
at http://mythinkandgrowrich.ning.com )
Get a coach to help you remain focused on the prize and support you to
reach your goals faster.
That’s what I’d advise you to do.
To CANI,
SaiF
P.S. My friend, if you’re frustrated of throwing your potential away
because of procrastination, inconsistency, lack of focus or any of that
CRAP isn’t it about time you changed that?
Are you ready to see what you can REALLY do, who you’re REALLY meant to
become and the WONDERS you can attract into your iife?
If you are, then I’m ready to be YOUR coach! Ask me for a free 30-min
session NOW if you want! =)
Recently, I found myself mishandling the opportunities that were given to me.
Recently, I’ve been feeling comfortable with way things have been going for me.
Have you been feeling the same way?
After watching this video, I realized that you and I are indeed blessed to have a home, to have parents, to be well-fed and to have the luxury of being comfortable.
It is indeed a luxury.
After watching this video, don’t you feel the same way?
Don’t you feel like you are blessed?
I do.
I feel like I’ve been blessed for a reason.
I feel like I’ve been given opportunities for a reason.
Don’t you feel the same way too?
There’s GREATNESS inside of you that’s itching to jump out!
All you have to do is let it.
We need YOU to be great and impact the lives of these children.
“A challenge would be something that people don’t think I can do
BUT in my own mind, I know I can do it.”
Watch the video below to find out what his simple, unfathomable
challenge was and be reminded of some life lessons :
After watching that, how do you feel?
Now, I would like to challenge your beliefs a little.
Do you know what’s possible for you, my friend?
Do you, really?
If you’re like me, you’d probably look to your previous
accomplishments and others’ as a measure of what’s
possible for you.
Now, let’s take a closer look at that because I think
there might be something wrong with that paradigm.
So, in order to create something in the future, we look
towards the past?
Is that correct?
I don’t know if you love history class - I hated it - but
you know how they always remind you why studying
history is important.
You remember the time when the teacher said something
like, “We study the past so that we can predict the future.”
I used to think that was genius.
If I could see what happened in the past, I could see the
patterns because everything operates in cycles and in
a way…
I could see the future!
But there was one major flaw in my paradigm!
While the above still holds true, it limits me.
Consider this :
If you’re always looking towards the past for what’s
possible in the future, won’t you always be stuck
in old standards?
If Alexandar Graham Bell had looked to history as
a reference of what’s possible for the future, we
will still be sending snail mail to each other.
If the Wright Brothers had looked to history as
a reference of what’s possible for the future, the
snail mail I sent you would have taken a full six
months to reach you by ship.
If Thomas Edison had looked to history as
a reference of what’s possible for the future,
you’d be reading the snail mail I sent you by ship
in a room lit with candle lamps.
Think about it.
If those before us had looked to history, instead of
reading this blog post on your computer the moment
I sent it to you in your well-lit room, you’d be reading it
six months from now in the form of a snail mail near
your candle lamp.
With that, “We study the past so that we can predict
the future” is only part of the story.
I say, “We study the past so that we can predict what’s POSSIBLE for the future.”
Did I create a paradigm shift in you there, my friend?
Shift your focus a little and start focusing on the
individuals who said, “No! There’s got to be a better
way than what it is now!”
Shift your focus to people like Sir Roger Bannister.
When nobody in the whole world has ever done it or
could even begin to believe anyone could do it… he did it.
He broke the “elusive” four-minute mile and because
he destroyed that limiting belief, high-school kids do
it all the time in this age!
IMAGINE THAT!
My friend, it’s time for you to challenge your belief in
what you can do and what’s possible for you.
It’s time for you to challenge yourself.
Do me a favor.
You’ve seen how Sir Roger Bannister has changed the
world by challenging himself.
If you’ve ever wanted to change the world, do this for
yourself.
Take something that’s beyond belief and challenge
yourself to successfully achieve it.
If you can do it, you have changed the world because
you have shown us what’s truly possible.
And to help you with that challenge, and since it’s a
Labour’s Day holiday today here in Singapore, I’d like
to share with you a treasure from my school field :
To CANI,
SaiF
P.S. I’d love to know what you’ve challenged yourself
to. Publicly declare the challenge you’ve set yourself
