The language of life is I can.....

Last weekend I attended a program by Deepak Shinde from Alma Mater. He is not really a motivational speaker but rather he likes to be addressed as a "teacher". This program motivated me to write this blog and share with everybody what I learned through him. This was the third program attended by me, first being "Why bad happen to good people" and other being "Faith". These programs have embedded so deep in my mind and I follow them as much as I can in my daily life. But this blog is about "The language of life is I can....." So, here goes an enunciation from me:

Stop using bad words. What input we give to our minds is the output that we get in turn. Our body generates a lot of begrime substances like excreta, urinal, sweat, saliva...which all has foul smell. Words are the only beautiful things that can come out of our mouth, so why not utilize it. Also words are like inputs to our mind. Whatever we speak resonates in our mind first, then we speak and then we hear as we speak. In short it forms an impression in our mind and becomes a part of our subconscious mind and controls our lives. Hence use good words and let them be a part of your life.

Pain vs. pleasure. Our brain is divided into our subconscious and conscious mind and is dominated by the former. Since our very childhood subconsciously so many things have been embedded in our minds and we follow them even without realizing it. A small illustration of this would be since our very early ages we have told "Don't do this, don't go here, don't take this, don't, don't and don't......." and the list goes on. And subsequently this has formed a part of our subconscious mind. We can try and subdue this. Imagine a dumbbell in each of your hand. One is pain and the other is pleasure. Try and practice this... drop one pleasure and pick up one pain. Meaning stop doing something that you dearly love doing, like drinking/smoking, sleeping for late hours etc. And pick up one pain, may be start jogging, getting up early in the morning etc.

Be true to your words. The only way to gain trust for an individual in his personal and professional life or even for a brand in the market is through the commitment of their words. This is also the way to gain respect for ourselves and also in the eyes of others for what we are.

All said and done....nobody like changes. The only two ways to achieve the above is either through intensity or repetitions. And always believe in "I can…..". Cheers!
