Take Action Now!

"Just Do It"- This catchy phrase of Nike says it all about Action.
In the previous post,we have talked about "Law of Attraction".Even if have a dream,visualise,if you are not taking action,then it is of no use.If you want to reduce weight,go to gym today.If you want to start business,register the domain today.Don't postpone anything,act on them now.Procrastination is a disease.Don't attract it.My Principal in my higher secondary school used to say "Tomorrow never comes,only Today is true".
Real life examples from my life:
1.When i wanted to come to U.S,i joined in a computer course,I used to work in the daytime,study computers at night.I worked as a faculty member in two leading institutions.I worked as a software engineer tried my hand at coding.I took action.
2.When i joined higher secondary,i took english medium.Till my secondary school,i was in tamil medium.I coundn't cope with english,i didn't understand what they were teaching.One day i was weeping all the way from my class room to the school gate as i couldn't understand anything on that day.My maths teacher stopped by,asked me why,encouraged me that i could do it.Then i took action..I used to listen to english news through Radio,TV.I picked up.Now i can speak to my collegues,customers in english.Even i can be able to write this blog in english,not bad for a village boy who cried over english,right.
3.I was 210 lbs six months ago.I took action.I started to go to gym every day.If i miss one day,i compensated with walking in the park,do yoga or floor exercised at apartment itself.Now, my weight is 197 lbs,i reduced almost 13 lbs.This is the magic of action.

Great Secret Revealed


As Featured On Ezine Articles


This weekend,i watched a movie called "SECRET".It speaks about "LAW OF ATTRACTION".In a Nutshell,whatever you want wholeheartedly,you will attract it and get it.It is an old concept but presented beautifully and powerfully by a panel of self help gurus.It inspired lot of people worldwide and the secret DVD sold 1 million copies so far.The panel that put together this,appeared in Oprah Winfrey show,Larry King Live,Ellen Show.
I remember some of the incidents regarding this:
1.If you go to any shopkeeper in southern india,normally a grocery store,if you ask for Toor Dall per example and if he doen't have the stock,he won't say no,instead he will say that i have moong dall.
2.My wife do lot of poojas and she will wake up all night to do the garland.when you ask her,she will say,we shouldn't do it for formality,we should do it wholeheartedly.
3.I have seen a sign board in one of my document writer's house as "only good will happen".
4.My younger brother's mother-in-law always says,if you don't have anything at home,don't say that i don't have this or that in front of guests or your family members,instead,try to buy it immediately or manage with other stuff.
I think,by now,you get my point.I have an example in my life itself:
Back in 2000,i was working as a sales rep for a multinational company selling copyprinter.My whole aim at that time was to go to usa.So i worked in day and studied oracle,VB at night.Whenever i went for a cold call near the chennai Meanambakkam airport,i used to say myself every single time,one day i will board a plan from here to USA.I used to read all the news about USA and all the formalities to go to USA.In November 2000,it really happened,i got an oppurtunity through one of consulting firms.One day i was really in a lufthansa plane to houston from chennai airport.I pinched myself,i couldn't believe myself.
So believe strongly in whatever you desire,visualise it,want it wholeheartedly,you will attract it and it will be given to you.
For the secret movie,just type secret movie in google.
I will try to write in this blog every week.All the best for your dream to come through.

Thoughts for today!
