Good morning wonderful people a quick screen share for you today. Why is failure
never happening to you no matter what? Just talk about failure for a bit as it
is taught to us right from the time when we were children. You have failed in this
area, you have failed in that, you have failed to score grades, you are a failure,
you have failed to pass the test, you have failed to be good in sports, you have
failed to be a good child boy or a girl, you failed to achieve something. All goes
to childhood wounds right? They take back to your childhood all of us have been
told that this at some point or the other. Okay so what are the talking points
for this? Number one the teaching failure is a construct of what we are taught.
Now if you don't know what constructs is go to my previous letter if you are on
LinkedIn through our upbringing institutions education religion etc.
What's the difference between what we are taught and what is the reality? You
have to learn that first reality folks. We can't be in a dream world, you can't
be in a hypnotic world in a spell as it has been taught to us right from the
time we are born. You are taught this idea of failure. There exists no such thing
in reality. Think of that for a minute and if you want to compare it you can
always compare yourself to nature. Does a pigeon think it's a failure? Does a
cat or a dog think it's a failure if you have pets? Does the tree feel it's a
failure? No this exists only in the twisted and broken world of human beings.
It doesn't exist in nature so it doesn't exist in reality. Compare it to that.
So failure is basically a comparison to whatever is being practiced around us.
It's a norm, it's a way of functioning in the society. It's a measuring yardstick
with whatever is the established norm, a rule, a procedure, etc. If you're
functioning in any institution or corporation, even in your school, even
in your college, in your company, in your banks, in your government,
wherever it is. Number two, you're alive therefore you are successful today.
That's where I come from. I'm offering you a different perspective on this.
If you're alive, if you're breathing, if you've got all your bits and joints and
bones intact and you got some food to eat, you are successful. From the time you
wake up till the time you go to bed, you are successful. Why? Because you're still
living that which you call your life. That's the real measurement. This is
another measurement yardstick you can use if you want to feel successful daily.
Which would you rather feel successful today or successful 20 years from now on?
When you're older and toothless and 60 year old, okay, people think of retiring
and they'll be happy. You're never gonna do that. You're gonna be happy only in
the now, in the today. Why? Because you're living and breathing. You can still do
things. You can still act on things. You can measure your own self with your own
yardsticks. You can create your own success criteria in the world to function
from. That's success. That's never a failure. Please understand this from this
perspective. So then you wake up in the morning and you ask yourself, what is it
that I would like to do today? Not to please someone, not to please a boss, not
to worry about this and that endlessly. There's no pleasing anyone, okay. I'm
not coming from that angle here. No pleasing society, no pleasing companies,
no pleasing friends, not all the yada yada. This would be the biggest battle you
will have. You versus the rest of the world. How to do this? You have a very
powerful sense of individuality and you need to bring that forth into the world.
See how much power that individuality can have and see how much resistance this
whole talk of Minds of Fire is bringing. It is even creating a thing like, nah, this
is too idealistic. This can't work for me. That's your mind chatter. That's the
amount of times you have been told you're a failure, by the way. Number three,
measurement with anything external is neither original nor required. This is
the third thing you have to understand, okay. This is your catalyst for change.
Why? Because only when you're comparing yourself to whatever is going around you
today, are you feeling that sense of failure? Or I didn't achieve this or I
didn't get that report right or I'm not getting good grades or whatever it is.
Social measurement. Why is this measurement not required? Why is the
measurement with respect to social norms of a company and institution not
required? Well, first of all, because you are an original yourself. You can always
create and recreate and reevaluate, reform anything that is around you,
including your own personal life to begin with, and your company and everybody
else. First do it with yourself always. Maybe you haven't shown the original
part of you. You haven't been shown the original part of you. So how do you
access that original part? So you sit quietly, empty your mind and listen to
your empty mind more and more. Because mind is like that vacuum, nature abhors
vacuum. It'll never allow your mind to be empty of something. So the moment you
empty it, something will fill it up. Watch for that something. Is that
something feeling light or is it feeling heavy? Is it empowering to you? Is it
giving you some positive sense of aha or an epiphany? Go for it. If not, ignore it.
Move on to the next. So you keep doing this rough and dynamic way. You understand?
Back to point number three. The measurement is taking place in all
institutions. Whatever you have been taught merely from the point of view of
a perception or a valid argument that was valid for some time. See, we all create
ideas as human beings and we make it institutionalized and we try to follow
that because it works. Everything works but it has a limited time. This yardstick
of measurement is relevant only from the time it was created to solve a
particular issue or a problem at hand and that's all there is to it. You can't
stretch it forever. No idea, creation or concept has an eternal lifetime.
Everything has a time validity. New human beings, new generations will come and throw
it out and complicate the new one. This is the way it has been going on all along.
Right now what is happening in 2022 is we are living outdated concepts. Concepts
are no longer relevant to the times we are in now. So we need to change and
become relevant to the times we are in now. We are changing as a human
civilization. Society is always changing. You are always changing. All structures
that you create as your thought forms, as your belief structures, your ideas or
what you think is right and wrong, good or bad is also changing to the times which
are relevant. So you have to change with it. It's like a flowing river. When it
changes as an individual, you change as an individual and whatever you thought of
before, let's say when you were a teen or a kid, is no longer relevant now. See, you
yourself have changed the structure of your own pattern or your habits or whatever
it is. So there's the question of any success or failure there. You're not
continuously battling failures. You're continuously shifting. You're continuously
changing. That's the truth. Reality, not hypnotism. Number four, someone uses the
word failure against you simply means you are good at something else. Means
whatever you're doing is not correct for you or you're in the wrong company or
in situation or institution or you're with the wrong company, wrong set of
people. You need to spend time discovering what it is. Where is it or that
your life is kind of going in the wrong direction. Also, you need to find out where
you shine which brings you joy, exuberance, happiness. That's what true
success means in your personal terms. Not a measured yardstick by others, but
what it means to you. This is what you need to spend time more investigating and
you can do that using even esoteric science like Astrology which is very
useful in my experience at least in knowing who you are, what you would be
good at and if you want to stretch this concept of when is the right time for me
to do what exactly in the world. The reason I bring Astrology, ascent rising
sign and constellation and all the planets which are hanging out in your
constellations is you can use this, the practical part of it. Unfortunately even
there's a lot of BS in Astrology by the way. All the programming and wrong things
that you have been told you are wrong, where will the uncovered dirt pile of dust
sitting on top of all your two talents. How will you uncover the gem
hidden in the haystack of you? You have to get to be honest with yourself to the
point where all the dust is removed and you stand at a place where you are
self-empowered. You've got a pretty good knowledge of tying the loose ends
between your astrological chart whether it is true for you or not and you're not
buying another round of BS in the name of Astrology. Remember there are a lot of BS
astrologers out there so I'll urge you to be really careful when you go there.
Success in this context only means one thing for you. Success by itself should
be something that gives you joy. Joy in participating, in doing, in taking action
which makes you feel alive. It makes you feel alive. Joy of being alive folks.
Purposeful being of service, not being subservient. Huge difference between
being of service which is actually joyful for human beings and being
subservient. You're not a slave of anything or anyone. First you get rid of the
slavery especially for Indians. Such a slave mentality even now I see. The reason
I say astrology because very specific you can't sit and impose talents upon
yourself that you inherently do not have folks. That's not how the system works. If
there is a tool you need to use it and use it wisely. You can't take a hammer
and beat upon your vegetable. You're using the wrong tools for the wrong reasons.
Why would you want to miss some tool that is useful? That's where I come from.
So don't compare yourself to others or external world. Success only means what
it means for you and today. Last point number five. It's a reflective universe
we live in folks. What you feel inside you will take outside. You can only
transform both inner and outer worlds by the power you have as an individual.
Remember that sentence. The power you have as an individual not as a mob
mentality or psychology. Not I will do this because I have to fit everywhere in
the office or I have to fit in a corporate culture or I have to fit fit fit
here and there. By the time you die or retire that happiness is not going to be
there because everything is going to be ripped off. Yes that's the truth. Not just
your teeth but your identity will be ripped off. That is never going to happen
in a zillion years. You are here as a unique individual. Come to shine and be
more than you ever thought possible. More than your mind can concoct or what
somebody else had told you you are capable of or not capable of. All these
other business will not work. Don't try to recycle your past. That's never a good
idea. It's a reflective universe where you can bring in originality from you. In
NLP or Neuro Linguistic Programming we call it motivational direction. Are you
motivated towards people? Plays thing or activity? That's what motivates you. You
need to find this out. I put a lot of psychological tests that I carry out. If
you want to see my YouTube channel it's there. In Astrology it's determined by
Ascendant, Nakshatra and so on. That also I put it in my YouTube channel. There are
so many tools available to help you. These hints. These are like clues. You may
get clues. What is my soul pointing me towards this lifetime? Follow the clues.
You're trying to unravel the puzzle all your life. Get good at this. If there's
the only thing you will do in the next one year get good at this. Of course
discovery and action is up to you my friend. But always remember you are
never ever ever ever a failure. It doesn't matter who or what has ever told you this
in your life. Alright take care, be safe and be awesome.
