Burning inside like an inferno?



Burning desire is the difference dear brothers and sisters—yes it’s that fire in you that sets you apart from the “ordinaries and commons”- and that is exactly why many are commons—lack of burning desire.

Desire is like a castle in sand and a burning desire is like a castle in diamond!

So… what are the important pillars that bear BURNING DESIRE? Just go down for the revelation!

Mere wish and desire and burning desire:

The difference between having a wish and a desire and having a burning desire is like the difference between a worm and a man and a superman!
A worm can only dream about flying. A man can try to fly but not on his own. But superman can go anywhere he wishes. That is exactly the potential of burning desire and where it can place you!

So fan your desire into flame—a burning desire.

Keeping the end result in mind is one of the most effective ways to do this.

Never put out your inner fire:

Successful men and women, in unison always keep their burning desire blazing high and fly all the time. They are in some ways are like maniacs who follow their burning desire with all their heart and mind and soul! They, with every fiber of their being, love their burning desire.

They never allow people or circumstance to extinguish their burning desire—it may go the other way—increase the intensity of their burning desire.

Keep putting oil in your lamp:

Mother Teresa, who served poor and destitute all-out, asserted,

“To keep a lamp burning we have to keep putting oil in it.”         

Let your burning desire, be it becoming wealthy or happy or spiritually fulfilled or anything that you want, alive all the time and in fact keep increasing its intensity.

When you have burning desire you wouldn’t be able to wait for the next day to arrive as you’d want to go to the next rung of the ladder! That’s the kind of attitude you must possess and that’s the kind of attitude and each and every achievers possesses.


Always be empty:

Only a dry sponge could absorb liquid!

Only an empty vessel can hold water!!

When you have burning desire in you to achieve something worthwhile will you and can you go to the subsequent levels.

Don’t think that you have “arrived”—for that attitude will but hold you back. Keep yourself like a blank board, always ready for “Writing”—writing new things with your results and attainments.

Take things in your stride:

Successful people take both embarrassment and positive experiences as a ladder not as a pit. With every setback they face or with every obstacle that comes in their way they get strengthened unlike those others who are weakened!

They get strong and so are their burning desires!

Never think for a moment that things that happen to you are not good—but rather get lessons from each experience and just move on. Don’t stagnate.

This is like standing on the thorn that just punctured your feet and shouting that it aches! You cannot afford to stand in THE SAME PLACE. Just take the thorn out (Out of your heart) and move on. Soon you’ll see a valley of pretty flowers and that embraces you and empower you to deepen your burning desire into yourself!

Staying power comes from your burning desire:

Your burning desire to reach your goals or what you want or be or have in your life gives you that quality of not quitting until the mission is accomplished.

Even when nothing seems to happen you won’t quit. You just carry on until you bring that whale of success out of the sea! You just hold on to the pole while others have let go their grips.

The secret is your burning desire.

Let others walk away but not YOU!

Just cultivate desire today and let it brighten day after day after day and become a magnificent burning desire that lifts you up and up and up!!

Wish you all the riches to come with God’s blessings

Your “Without and Within” - Success



Your “Without and Within” - Success

 The most important questions that you may be asked, which is pivotal for your success, are:

“In what kind of environment are you living?”

“What are the different environments are you subjecting yourself continuously?”

The undeniable truth is successful people always soak themselves, consciously or unconsciously, in GOOD ENVIRONMENTS!

For some, they may have been born in environments which are conducive to success—positive parents, or placed in a position where opportunities are easier to come by!!

But does this mean that only those can succeed? Absolutely and by God’s honest truth, a BIG NO!

You may have born to poor parents or in family where success has always been a distant dream, but you can and will succeed if you can change your ENVIRONMENT!!

Your external environment and your internal environment must be tuned in such a way that you are cruising along life’s highroad gloriously.

Successful people, since most of them are proactive, choose to create a healthy and encouraging environment and try to be in good environment most of the time whether at home or at work or wherever they go.

Environment is nothing but “Where” you are all day long and in turn and consequently, all year long and all your life. What paint colors do you give to you environments? Bright or dull? You are the painter and you have the choice to choose your own color.

You can be in environment where you are discouraged… Or you could be in such settings where you feel like you can achieve miraculous things—it’s all in your hands!

External Environment:

1. Choose to have a sweet home:

Success has its roots at home as well and home is the place where your primary source of relaxation and inspiration and happiness would emerge and affect other areas of your life.
Keeping your room clean and having things that inspire you is a great idea to start off.

For some books may give them the boost.

For some audiophiles, having a neat audio or video system along with stacks of DVD’s and CD’s would motivate them. The Simplicity principle would help you here; before bringing in any change first dispose all those things that you haven’t been using recently or you think could be discarded. Then start to change your environment by adding things that are your favorite. This is on the materialistic level.

Cultivating a culture of love and trust and true caring inside your home with your children and spouse and other members is as or more important than the first one.

These things would help you in your work and other areas.

2. At work and other places of social interaction:

Successful people create a positive environment at workplace too, if possible.

Having motivational poems or phrases plaque on your desk would put you continuously in a positive frame in spite of negative outer situation.

As with home, creating a culture with ones peers and boss and other people outside your home would also help you in your success. But people, due to their ego and other negative tendencies create environments that put brakes in their movement!!

In addition, victorious people always associate with others who have positive outlook toward life or who encourage or who are honest.

Does this mean that you can’t associate with people, who always tend to be negative or put others down?

That depends on the situation. Sometimes you may have to work as a unit with people who tend to discourage others or find faults thus creating a bad environment for themselves and those around them. But thankfully, you have another kind of environment which is your “Inner environment” and over which you can have absolute control.

Let’s see what it is:


Internal Environment:

Your internal environment is more than “Positive Mental attitude” and Positive Mental Attitude is an integral part of your inner environment.

A thief may have Positive Mental Attitude, but the result of his deeds is not moral. He must also have “Inner environment” that has “Values” that are based on correct principles in life.

When your inner environment is healthy:

You’ll be positive…

You’ll also have high moral values and go according to the right principles as opposed to that thief’s mentality…

You’ll also have thoughts that completely complement your success and every venture you undertake…

Your sense of worth would come from inside instead of how others treat you…
You’ll have good anticipation of the future…

You’ll have unquenchable thirst to do the job at hand in an excellent manner…

You’ll have the “This problem is only temporary” kind of mind-set…

However grave your external environment may seem, you’ll always be insulated and nothing would affect you as you know there is no point in being depressed and confused and sad…

Some of the sources of your inner environment could be God or your family or your principles and values or your goals or all the above!

What happens when you see pictures that represent your goals?

You are reinforcing your “internal environment” and creating a strong fort for yourself. By regularly seeing your vision board or imagining yourself as already achieved your goals you are changing yourself because you are changing your inner environment.

Each and every man or woman who has tasted the fruit of success has, without shadow of a doubt has cultivated a great inner environment.

Your inner environment may get contaminated by the external forces but you always have the CHOICE to purge it from the bad elements and come back!

With time, you’ll become seasoned and mostly you’ll be positive and have a well-nourished inner environment.

Don’t let anyone or anything to disturb your INTERNAL ENVIRONMENT!!

This when combined with the external environment you create for yourself, would bring actual bliss into your life.

Your internal environment charges you continuously and keeps you afloat amidst chaotic waves.

As a parent, you could gift your child(ren) a healthy external environment, along with a nurturing inner environment—through encouraging your child and inculcating good values, discovering talents and promoting, and above all, listening intently!!!

As far as the external environment is concerned, you could take your child (ren) to places where your child (ren) could interact with good people and spend lot of time being encouraged and happy.

These are the circumstances that reveal “Inner treasures” in your child (ren). Taking up classes is an excellent idea. Successful people take their children to libraries, shopping, historic places, etc. Their children get exposed to various things and from which their interest, passion and talents would unfold!! Now that’s natural!!

Put your employees in a healthy, empowering environment as opposed to environment where they always wear robes of “FEAR”.

So the time has come for a complete revamp both externally and internally.

Are you ready you wonderful creation of God?

Wish you all the riches to come with God’s blessings

Your Mental Attitude (From "Above Life's Turmoil" by James Allen)

As a being of thought, your dominant mental attitude will determine your condition in life. It will also be the gauge of your knowledge...
