It’s all in our mind.. You have to think rabbit, to see rabbit To have to think duck, to see suck. You have to believe it, to see it The belief in the mind is the foundation for turning our dreams into reality..

Slide 4: 

Power of our mind Every good thing we see around us today, started as a dream in one man’s head, pursued with unshakeable belief that it is going to become a reality one day… What we are today is the result of our past thinking. What we will be tomorrow, is the result of our thinking today. Mind is force, energy and power. Matter is powerless, passive and inert. Nothing exists till the mind has created it. Mind shapes and controls matter.

Slide 5: 

In this world, only a tiny fraction of people realise their dreams. A vast majority fail to achieve their dreams or stop dreaming. Why do the majority fail to realise their dreams? Is it IQ ? Money? Luck? Education? Experience? So what is it? Here is the startling fact..

Slide 6: 

For the rocket to take off, 1. Anchors need to go 2. Engines need to be fired.

Slide 7: 

We are unintentionally programmed to be mediocre, from our childhood. We are told to behave like “ordinary kids” We are conditioned not to take great risks We are brought up to think with middle class mentality We are made to think that daring to dream, raring to go places and achieving extra ordinary success are not for us Anchor 1: Programmed for mediocrity

Slide 8: 

80% College graduates earn a degree in a field other than what they would have really preferred 90% of people land up in a job unfulfilled, not because they want it, but because that’s what they have got under the circumstances, with their background, experience and skills. We are judged by false standards of measure such as marks, popularity, looks, social status, wealth etc. Anchor 1: Programmed for mediocrity

Slide 9: 

Be AWARE that you are programmed for mediocrity AWAKEN to the fact that you are designed and equipped for extra ordinary achievement Removing the first anchor Extra ordinary achievement is not measured by wealth. A true measure of your worth includes all the benefits others have gained from your success and the impact of your achievement on human lives. Awareness and Awakening

Slide 10: 

Fear of failure short circuits our abilities to achieve our dreams Fear is an emotion. Failure is an event. There are 2 kinds of fear. Good fear and bad fear. Good fear is protective. Bad fear comes in the way of doing what is right. Often our fears are magnified in our minds. We fear about things before they happen. Failure is an event in which you did not achieve the desired outcome. Failure is not fatal and success is never final. Anchor 2: Fear of failure

Slide 11: 

The best way to avoid failure is to avoid risk. The only way to avoid risk is to attempt those which you are 100% sure of achieving. This forces you to set mediocre goals. To fail does not mean you are unintelligent, incapable or unskilled. It is by no means a symptom of your lack of wisdom, knowledge or strength. Losers treat failures as stumbling blocks. Winners treat failures as stepping stones. How to avoid failure

Slide 13: 

Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. You cannot achieve extra ordinary things in life without failing. Put fear and failure in right perspective. Treat every failed outcome as one discarded attempt.. As many times as it takes to walk

Slide 14: 

Only those who do nothing at all, make no mistakes. But that would be a mistake.

Slide 15: 

The hardest experience to deal is criticism because it hurts so deeply. You cannot avoid criticism but you can deal with criticism the right way. Don’t react, defend or attack but consider The source of criticism The accuracy of criticism how you should respond The world is full of people who freely give criticism and are not qualified to do so. Our responsibility is to take control and learn to respond well. Anchor 3: Fearing criticism

Slide 16: 

Don't mind criticism. If it's untrue, disregard it; If it's unfair, keep from irritation; If it's ignorant, smile; If it's justified, learn from it.

Slide 17: 

If you are not sure where you are going, you will end up somewhere else. Most people never put their dreams in writing If you don’t define your dreams in writing and chart a map to reach them, you will never achieve them Writing your dreams and prioritising them is like creating an address book for your dreams. Anchor 4: Lack of clear vision

Slide 18: 

Majority of the people feel weak and surrender when confronted by a situation that reveals their lack of know how Lack of know how is only a perceived obstacle. Did Edison have the know how to invent the light bulb? We all have limited number of strengths, talents and abilities. But we have infinite number of weakness and inabilities. Lot of people focus on working on their weakness instead of working on their strengths. Anchor 5: Lack of know how

Time is equally given to all people on this planet. Dhirubai Ambani, Narayana Murthy, Azim Premji and others started companies not because they had the money, but because they had the passion to pursue their dreams.. Anchor 6: Lack of resources
