The most successful people in the world don’t sit waiting for opportunities. They go out and make opportunities for themselves. They follow their passion, they build their talents, and they chase success. You can chase success, too. You can truly enjoy your life. All it takes is the courage to get out of your head and leap head-on into your life. What is it that holds you back from leaping from the comfort zone? Is it fear? Does it just feel easier to stay put? You can’t find happiness staying put — you’re worth more than that and you should push yourself to achieve your dreams.

It's No Risk No Gain, To Prosper.

Unless one comes out of inherent fear, one cannot apply Oneself to the full to succeed or perform.

JUST THINK ....

#1 New York Times Bestseller Over 1 million copies sold In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people. For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn’t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected American society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up. Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited—"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek. There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck

I'm compassionate and humble for the needy. I'm conscious of my duties. I see in every human an opportunity to offer my wisdom. My implacable urge to serve my community has kept me intact on the path of righteousness. I revere those who work for the betterment of society. I'm thankful to God for cramming my life with joy and bliss. Im overwhelmed by the abundance of ecstasy.-Affirm To Accomplish

My implacable urge to serve my community 

I'm ready for the day and I'm prepared to accomplish my targets. I know I can turn my dreams into reality. I have proved myself in the past that I can do whatever I think of. I'm confident that I'll achieve whatever I have aimed for. Today I'll utilize every moment to produce fruitful results. My passionate urge to spend today as the most productive day will bring wonderful joy.

That's How You Affirm Assertively 

I have seen better days. Sometimes life is hard to take and it gets harder to take it all alone. But I am not alone! I have dreams to chase and melodies to surpass the dark days. I have limitless space to unfold my true potential. I'm the one who needs no one to fire up. 'Cause I'm strong and I have a mind which is positively wired up.

Slowly and steadily I'm regaining my pace. I'm trying every day to build back my stamina. I'm practising hard enough to improve my endurance. I'm feeling me getting success at my endeavours. My consistent practise will soon reap me auspicious results. My habits are fueling energy to me and I'm no longer a lethargic person instead I'm lively and agile to maintain my life perfectly.-Affirm To Accomplish

Let's Affirm It.

A clear-calm mind is what everybody wants and I'm grateful for having it. I feel utmost silence in my mind such that I can focus on anything effectively. I feel a gentle sensation throughout my body as a result of deep meditation. I have attained control over my mind and I allow only positive thoughts to enter in. My habits have uplifted my mood and I'm happy about this.

Positive Thought Of The Day

With several years of practice and patience, I gleaned pieces of knowledge about human nature. I now do not hold grudges. I am devoid of envy or hatred. I sequester myself from falling in hate and sorrow. I neither expect others to be a cause of my happiness nor do I long for eternal joy. I'm satisfied with a boon to enjoy the sparse nature of hardship and prosperity.-Affirm To Accomplish

Enjoy The Boon Of Life.

I wake up feeling a sense of achievement and satisfaction. I feel gratitude as soon as I open my eyes. I start my morning happily and gracefully. I thank the supreme creator for granting me another beautiful day to live. I'm satisfied with what I have. I know where my happiness lies and how to embrace it. There is much more in life worth experiencing. Let's give a more minute being mindful. Mindful of biblichor while reading, mindful of breath while breathing and mindful of taste while eating. I cherish the lesson life has taught me. I believe that this life is for living, not for bypassing.

The Everyday Hero Manifesto

Effective resilience is a blend of experience, patience, and determination. While you never wish adversity upon yourself, it’s often what makes you stronger. You learn from your setbacks and discover ways to avoid them in the future. How you respond to any given situation will depend on how resilient you are. While it doesn’t make your problems disappear, it will provide you with the strength and patience to stay focused. The only trees that survive a devastating windstorm are those that have learned to bend. Remember to be flexible and bend, but will a robust root system, you’ll never break.

Slow And Steady Wins The Race.

There is power in an attitude comprising patience and steadfastness.

Your reaction to adversity may determine your individual ability to be a more resilient person. Here are ten reasons why.

10 Reasons That Reaction to Adversity Determines Resilience

Be﻿ the change you wish to see in the world

The theme of our 7th Annual Fundraising Breakfast, which will be on September 7th is "Be The Change", which is a portion of a larger famous quote. We've all heard the saying, "Be the change you wish to see in the world." Mahatma Gandhi is often credited with saying this. But little do people know, Gandhi actually didn't say this at all! Gandhi said, "We but mirror the world. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our body. If we could change ourselves, the 

Be The Change

Our ability to follow through on our best intentions, such as getting into a new habit or changing our behaviour, doesn't depend on our reasons or our convictions that we should do it. It doesn't rely on our willpower or knowing the benefits of a particular behaviour. All it requires is to show up consistently, even if you do it poorly.

Show up

Motivation comes and goes. When motivation wanes, we tend to follow the path of least effort. However, new behaviours need lots of effort. This is because we find change really hard. The harder something is to do, the more motivation we need. To help start a new habit, you'd have to be willing to be bad at it. Strip the thing you want to do into something so easy you could do it every day. It might mean going for a one-minute run or eating one piece of lettuce on your sandwich. You will start feeling a natural desire to do more when you  consistently keep at it.

Better-than-nothing behaviour

When we get started on a new habit, we're creating a neural pathway in our brain for a new habit, making it likely to succeed in something more involved later on. But be aware, the moment you think you "should" do more is the moment you introduce force and negotiation. So the moment it requires more motivation, you might fail. The whole idea behind the better-than-nothing habit is that you only need to do a little consistently to become better than your previous self.

Taking the first step

You know how resolutions often go: you set a goal and start strong ... then the motivation runs out and feelings of frustration and shame creep in. The struggle is real -- but what if it doesn't have to be? Sociologist Christine Carter shares a simple step to shift your mindset and keep you on track to achieving your grandest ambitions.
