Creating Opportunity through Mistakes

• I discussed in my previous blog about creating opportunity.

• Today I will discuss creating opportunity through mistakes.

• Creating opportunity through mistakes is a midway of creating opportunity and getting the opportunity.

• Opportunity through mistakes is one level harder than getting the opportunity and easier than creating opportunity.

What is creating opportunity through mistakes?

• It is basically when you miss an opportunity, because of your mistakes.

• And use your mistakes as an advantage to build another opportunity this is called creating opportunity through mistakes.

• It is about learned from the mistake and think about it, rectifying it and using it as advantages.

• To show this, I performed an activity which you can also try.

Activity: Drawing without eraser

• I gathered some friends (4 friends). They were given a piece of paper and were asked to draw on it one by one but not to draw a full drawing, which they thought in their mind. One friend draws first, the other make changes in drawing and turn it into something creative. Like this, all four friends draw one by one. This was repeated until something creative and different image was found.

• As you think about what other friend have thought in their mind you also learn to read the mind or read people, which is very helpful.

• We are the author of our life. We write our life but it cannot be erased once we wrote something in the book of our life. But we can always rectify it and create opportunity.

• This activity is an example, we can use our mistakes as an advantage to build something new.

• But learning from mistakes is also important.

Real life example:

• If you are asked to create something, may be a device for a company in an interview. But your invention failed and your company suffered a little loss of their product. But then you used that wasted device to create something else, making changes in it. So you may pass in the interview.

• This is another example how to learn from mistakes and use it for your benefit.

• Here you may be rejected 1^st but then thinking deep about it, not accepting failure, and passion for building/renovating it to a useful device can help you a lot.

• So you get an opportunity and if by your mistakes you fail, don’t stop trying, just think how you can build it to your own advantage.

• Now if you get any opportunity and even you miss it, then you have an advantage of rectifying it and gaining it back (creating opportunity through mistakes).

Creating Opportunity

What is an opportunity?

•          Opportunity is generally a chance for getting something.
•          I just marked one thing, we all are in search of opportunities. But the question comes what type of opportunity we are in search for?
•          The answer is very simple.

We search for:

•        Opportunity of earning money
•        Opportunity of getting success
•        Opportunity to find your answers
•        Opportunity for getting a job
•        Opportunity to get into a good college/school, through entrance exam.
•        Opportunity to impress someone
•        Opportunity to be a part of something
•        Etc.

•          So it is a situation which makes it possible for us to to get something, we desire for.
•          This thing is not wrong, we should definitely search for opportunities.
•          Every answer to your question about life leads you one step ahead on the path of success.
•          But instead of searching for opportunities, why don’t we create one?
•          Have we ever tried creating opportunities?

Creating Opportunity

•          If we try creating it we will definitely learn something more about life.
•          As I believe creating it is not so easy as getting it, which is harder too.
•          The idea of creating opportunity will only come to your mind if and only if your life wants you to choose a harder path so that you learn something new.
•          If you choose to create opportunity, it’s like you walk on fire.
•          But creating opportunity depends upon the type of desire you have.

Example:

1. If you want an answer to some of your questions, but you are not getting it, create a situation by your speech or by doing something (but not by hurting or doing evil things) that can definitely give you answers to your questions.

This example is like aiming in the dark,

Which perhaps give a spark.

2. If you have 2 friends. You want a thing only your friend 1 have, but denying the fact and you want to confirm it.

•          So you tell your another friend (friend2) whom your friend 1 trusts.
•          So that friend2 talk to friend 1 about that thing.
•          In this situation either friend 1 will tell the truth or will give a weird response which will clear that your friend 1 was lying to you.
•          Here you need to convince your friend 2 for this, this the example of creating opportunity. 
•          You created an opportunity to find answers to your questions.

Story:

•          There was a guy, not so rich, wanted to became an anchor but never got a chance.
•          He went to a society, not so famous. So he convinced the society members to make the society famous and to encourage the development of society.
•          They did many cultural shows and events in which he was the host and so he was satisfied that he is on the way of becoming an anchor now.
•          But he had to work really hard for training other society members so they can show their talent with confidence. And can also develop many talents.
•          He was sometimes also fed up as this was not an easy responsibility to make society famous and talented.

•          But when their cost-free shows became hit and famous at the initial stage, they took entry fee at a higher rate. At last, he got the sweetest fruit, he became a very famous anchor and was also invited at other events.
•            Like this, he created an opportunity for himself and developed the society too.

•          I think he got success because not only thinking about self, he thought about the development of society too. He also accepted the hardship in his way at the initial stage. At the initial stage, he might have got failure but he never gave up.
•           His way was tough same as walking on fire, which took him higher.
•           As it is not easy to take responsibility of training a society.
•           So the path of creating opportunity is hard but if you are devoted to it and you work hard never leaving in midday, you will surely get success.
•           So go for it, create an opportunity for yourself but before think that you are ready for it. 

Conclusion:

• Now if you don't get an opportunity,no need to wait for it,you can just create it.
• So if you don't get a job create one. Be an entrepreneur and provide job instead of doing it.
• Try creating opportunity as it is far better than waiting for the opportunity.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
• You can also create opportunity from mistakes, which I will discuss in my next blog

Law of Devotion

•          Law of attraction doesn’t work alone.
•          Along with law of attraction, your hard work, dedication, devotion and your quest for possibilities to complete the work with success, really leads you to success and happiness.
•          Law of devotion is also an important term of  life.

What is Law of Devotion?

•          Devotion is basically love, loyalty or enthusiasm for something.
•          I believe devotion plays an important role for achieving something and because of it, you also get many benefits.
•          In return, you definitely get respect if you are devoted to something.
•          We must devote ourselves in these three areas:

1.          Devotion towards God

•          Devotion towards God doesn’t mean to do prayer all the time and sing a hymn of God all the time.
•          But at least, pray to God once in a whole day and thank the almighty for whatever he gave to you and also for your life.
•          Devotion towards God means devotion towards self and humanity as God live within us, in our mind and soul.
•          Devotion to God means being loyal to everyone, more than being loyal it is about loving everyone, helping others, doing good to others even without any relation.
•          God listens to the prayer and answer the prayer. We are a way of God to answer others prayer. And you may be a way to answer someone’s prayer so always help others.
•          Be kind to everyone.
•          Encourage others, give hope to others, without knowing problems try to bring a smile on somebody’s face.
•          This is how you can devote yourself to God.   

2.          Devotion towards people

•          Be devoted to people surrounding you.
•          They include family, friends, your colleagues etc.
•          Being loyal to someone means never to  speak wrong about them on their back (even if it may be a reality).
•          If others speak wrong about your friends, any of the family member or colleague, you should take their side and support them, saying the truth or showing the reality to the others who speak wrong about them.
•          This is how you can be devoted towards your friends or family.
•          Devotion towards people can be showed by helping them.
•          Example: There are three friends

              Friend 1: you (loyal),

              Friend 2: (helpful and honest),

              Friend 3: (disloyal)

 You and your friend 2 went to help your friend 3 for a project work. When the project was about to complete, by some natural phenomenon the project spoiled in the absence of friend 3. After few days in front of others, friend 3 claimed that friend 2 spoiled the project. But knowing the reality you defended friend 2 showing the truth to your friend 3. This was your loyalty towards your friend 2 but your friend 3 was disloyal to the friend 2 who was honest and helpful, as friend 3 should not claim friend 2 because friend 2 was helping.

    

3.          Devotion towards work and place you work

•          You should be devoted to the work you do and the place where you do work.
•          Your devotion towards your work depends upon the occupation in which you are involved.

•          If you are a pupil devote yourself to studies it doesn’t matter how sincere you are but gather as much knowledge as possible, about the field in which you are involved.
•          Being a student you can be devoted to the place (college or school) by showing proper respect to the faculties and others working in the place (college or school).

•          If you are a businessman or businesswoman, be devoted to your business by showing honesty to your customers (never cheat them). This gives you respect and status of loyalty.
•          And you can be devoted to the place (business) by trying to earn a profit. 

•          If you are doing a job be devoted to the job by showing perfection in your work and also by using time management.
•           And by trying to show good results by your work, be devoted to place (where you do your job).

     Advantages:

•          It gives you self-satisfaction
•          Helping others also help you back at times when needed.
•          Devoted to work gives respect, status fame.
•          Devotion towards people serves you with loyal and honest people.
•          People support you.
•          This gives you happiness.
•          This gives you inspiration
•          It also helps to provide a way to lead a good life.

Law Of Attraction

Normally whenever you listen to word ATTRACTION what is the thing that comes first to your mind?

Most of the people imagine about the person or the thing they like or they want.

Attraction is an abstract noun, but can be defined as the behavior/feeling of a thing, person or object by which it tends (pulled) towards you.

Law of attraction works on the same logic.

Law of attraction is a positive way to live life.

Whatever is going in our mind, we are continuously attracting that thing towards us.

How it work

• I believe that law of attraction works well when we wish something by heart rather than the mind.

• Because if you want something you continuously think about it until it is fulfilled.

• Thinking leads to attraction. You are continuously pulling the rope of your wishes towards you.

• If your mind is full of thoughts of love, affection and positivity then people will give you love, affection and you will get people with positive views only.

• Those people will encourage you and they will also help you.

• This will also help you to achieve your goals.

Tricks to use Law of Attraction:

•  If you want something, imagine that thing.

• Then draw it on a piece of paper.

• It’s ok if your drawing is not perfect.

• Or you can even download the image that describes you.

•  Then just edit that pic according to your imagination.

• You can print this out or set it as your wallpaper of PC or cellphones.

• So whenever you look at the pic, it reminds you of the thing you want.

• Because of this, you will work hard to get it.

• You will also plan better to accomplish your wish.

• So the law of attraction is another way to success.

                 “It is like a to-do list,

       Because of it, you feel more blissed”

Example:

•   If you want to follow your constraints and if you continuously think about it, you will definitely follow your constraints.

• If you decide in which field you want to go you will think about it only, work hard for it, get knowledge about that field, you will also surely search people in that field and imagine yourself in that field. As a result, one day, you will surely be in that field.

Wrong way of using law of attraction:

• Sometimes it happens that you want to avoid certain things in life.

• So you start imagining the thing that should not occur.

• But still that thing occurs because you were thinking about the thing that shouldn’t occur, again and again. Instead, think about what should happen instead of that.

• This is called attracting in a positive way.

• Always attract positively.

• Example:   If in the above sentence, I have written don’t attract negatively then the first thought which comes to your mind will be like ”NO NEGATIVE ” then your mind may think about “ONLY POSITIVE”.

• Example:  If you want to be happy after long troublesome days in your life. And you think “I am not sad”. Here the word you are attracting is “sad”.so you will be always sad. In a positive way think like “I am happy”, so you will be happy and you will only attract happiness in your life.

• Your Law of attraction works for your life, not for others’ life. You cannot attract things to happen in someone’s life because everyone can only manage their own life and not others’.

• Remember your life is the result of the things you attracted in the past.

Advice:

• With the law of attraction, your devotion towards the work is also necessary.

• Just pray for a perfect way to accomplish your task. You will surely get it, but who will help you or which way will take you to your destination, you need to identify by being alert.

• Law of attraction really works in my life and I got everything I wanted because of it.

• Just try it, you will get whatever you want.

• With the law of attraction, devotion is also necessary, I will discuss the law of devotion in my next blog.

Forming constraints

Nowadays it’s hard to find people with their own intellect.

According to my perspective as I have observed, everyone is used to follow crowd or what others do.

Instead of imitating someone it is better idea to follow what you personally think on a particular thing while taking decisions.

One can get influenced by someone to build their own intellect. But influencing and imitating are totally different concepts which people don’t understand.

Here I have got an amazing way which will make your ideas unique.

Forming constraints in your life can prove to be very beneficiary in forming intellectual skills.

As your constraints will restrict you in something you don’t believe in.

WHAT ARE CONSTRAINTS?

    

•     Constraints is basically the set of rules.

•      The most familiar word known to us beside constraints is ethics.   

•          Ethics are very important for our life.  

•          So constraints for the life are the rules we want to follow in our life.

This will allow you to think deeply (or out of the box) while taking decisions, eventually avoiding imitation.

So constraints play an important role in decision making.

So making constraints in your life is important.

Here are 10 constraints you can follow in your life and bring a change in yourself:

    

                     1.     Be Honest

•          If you are not honest to anybody then at least don’t cheat also.

•          Constraints can be like deciding not to copy in exams, this constraint will give you power     that will make you capable of gaining sufficient knowledge before your exams.

•          This makes you noble.

  

    2.     Avoid Blind Faith 

•           Blind faith just doesn’t mean following the orthodox traditions.

•   At least be honest to yourself don’t make yourself fool believing in the things that won’t occur at all.

•           If you have faith in something then think of the worst possibility also, that why it won’t occur otherwise your faith can turn to blind faith.

•          Blind faith makes us depressed.

  

                        3.     Keep your words

•          You should always keep your word or follow it as much as possible.

•          This will make you a trustworthy person.

•          People will never take you for granted, eventually increasing your value.

                    4.     Share your views

•          I personally believe that we should share our ideas or views with someone we trust before taking any important decision in our life.

•         Share with your elders if they are understanding, if possible share them with your parents or you can share with your friends also.

•        This is because they can give you proper guidance and they can guide you for your mistakes or show you a way to correct them.

                    

                    5.     Be passionate

•           Any work you do, do it with passion.

•          Devote your time, heart and whatever required to make it successful.

•          Never give up even if you get a scope of failure, just go on working until it gets finished.

•          Never stop your work in midway.

                    

                    6.     Be a well-wisher

•          You get the sweetest fruit when you help one without any selfish motive.

•          Never think inauspicious or be brutal to someone, wish good for others and do good to others.

•          If you decide to help someone help them until their task is accomplished, don’t leave them in midway.

•           This will develop humanity in you.

                    7.     Stop excuses

•          We generally give excuses if we do something wrong.

•          So giving excuses defines that you have done something wrong even if you haven’t done.

•          Instead of giving excuses, accept the things you have done and try to rectify your mistakes.

•          Mistakes also creates opportunity, about which I will discuss in my future blogs.

                    8.     Be an encourager

•          I think you should always encourage the one doing good work and even when someone is working hard to get something.

•          If you cannot encourage someone then you do not have any right to discourage them.

•          Discouraging a person makes them weak and hopeless, leading to their failure.

                    9.     Never be an escapist

•          Some people always run away from responsibilities and situations.

•          But according to my belief difficult situations and responsibility makes us stronger and experienced about life.

•          So always face the reality.

                   10.   Giving up negativity

•          Be aware of negative thoughts and people.

•          Be away of negativity.

•          Always think positively.

•          Thinking positively gives you hope, decreases fear and gives you strength to face the things and the world.

The above given are example of constraints that you can form in your life. You can form constraints in your life according to your requirements. Everyone will have different constraints for themselves which will make them different.

Remember one thing don’t ever try to fulfill one of your constraints violating the other one.

So make your constraints thinking very deeply.

These constraints add meaning to your life and have advantages too.

There are other advantages also of forming constraints in your life which I will discuss in my next blog.
