I am a subscriber of the Daily OM magazine and I couldn’t resist sharing this with you today. Read the following post over and over again. Allow it to be absorbed within you:

‘As You Believe
Create Completeness

When we affirm that we are fulfilled rather than deficient, we are asserting that contentment is a natural way of being.

The creative power of the universe is infinite. A single molecule’s destiny is as important as the consequences of the largest supernova. Human potential is subject to this power, but because we are sentient beings, each of us is permitted to choose whether we will struggle against it or work in tandem with it. When we give voice to our desires through focused meditation or solicit the help of spirit guides, we draw upon the universe’s creative power to achieve certain ends. However, because our words are not all the universe hears, the response we receive may surprise us. The discourse we establish through our appeals is a blend of speech, thought, intention, and subconscious reflection. When we ask the universe for something, the unspoken message is that what we want does not exist, and the universe accepts this as truth. Conversely, we manifest completeness through affirmations in which we declare our desires as if we have already obtained them.

When we affirm that we are fulfilled instead of articulating deficiencies, we are asserting that contentment is a natural and necessary element of human existence. Our essence is an expression of fulfillment˜the universe wants to satisfy our needs and desires. When we describe our realities in positive terms, we are not denying the challenges inherent in existence. We choose not to focus on lack or dissatisfaction because we understand that the energy of our thoughts will determine the response we receive to our entreaties. Ask yourself how you would feel if your wishes were granted, and then allow yourself to internalize that emotional state. Try to create a picture of satisfaction so vivid that its reality is unquestionable and tell the universe that your vision is fact. At the close of your appeal, express your gratitude, as it is your acknowledgment of the truth of your fulfillment that will set the creative power of the universe into motion.

Working in perfect unison with the creative power of the universe will empower you to manifest spiritual realities in your material existence. As you affirm the beauty, peace, and goodness that already exist within in your life, your capacity to sense and understand their influence will become increasingly sophisticated. To meet your needs and achieve your desires, you need then only banish all thoughts of emptiness so that the energy of completeness can attract fullness into your being.’

Authentic Self Vs. The Ego

Psychology has always been a science that has intrigued me. I was in 10th Grade, I remember, when the theories of Sigmund Freud first exposed me to the word ‘controversial’. If it had pictures, it would have been a book you would sneak underneath your bed. Freud’s various theories of psychosexual development and its impacts on the different personalities, he believed, lay foundation to who we become in this world. So, let’s go back to the Id, Ego & Superego.

So the Id is the me and what I need.

The Ego is our immediate conscious world.

And, the Superego is our subconscious mind.

Everything we have experienced remains in our conscious mind and, on most occasions, makes up who we are. It remains buried and only activated once triggered.

The false power of the ego vs the authentic self

The ego is defensive and acts as a mechanism to protect us from the things that may hurt us-especially emotionally. It is unreal and fearful. We have been taught to believe that the ego is what keeps us alive and protects us from harm when, in reality, it is the most destructive. It dissociates you from your true self, it is a ‘wanna be’, a false you.

(find out more about getting into your authentic core here).

Eckhart Tolle describes the ego’s search for wholeness in his book The Power of Now:

‘The most common ego identifications have to do with possessions, the work you do, social status and recognition, knowledge and education, physical appearance, special abilities, relationships, person and family history, belief systems, and often also political, nationalistic, racial, religious, and other collective identifications. None of these is you.’

We are constantly bombarded with images and messages of things around us telling us that we are not enough. No thing or material possession ever defined who you really are.

In the words of Deepak Chopra:

‘If you want to reach a state of bliss, then go beyond your ego and the internal dialogue. Make a decision to relinquish the need to control, the need to be approved, and the need to judge. Those are the three things the ego is doing all the time. It’s very important to be aware of them every time they come up.’

Only the curious survive. Curiosity is the name of the game.

Robin Sharma has taken his teaching to a whole new level. I don’t know whats happened in his life but the evolution has become phenomenal. Now you can feel his words digging into your soul and awakening something super special within.

So, today-we will talk about what makes a leader special. CURIOSITY. Yes, curiosity is what allows us to thrive and grow. It is the very notion of ‘what if‘ that has opened us up to a whole new level of awesome. The amazing things that human beings are capable of began with an idea, that idea was a result of a curiosity.

In his podcast, Robin Sharma talks about what makes a leader special.

What makes a great leader? Curiosity.

1. Ask a lot of questions.
2. Do not be afraid of the new.
3. Stay engaged and stay open.
4. See the world with a sense of curiosity and not judgement.
5. Have a love for learning.
6. Have a passion for renewal and growth.

So how do we stay curious? CURIOSITY.

1. Have conversations with people from a completely different arena, a different field than where you are currently at. Get out of the zone you know so well. Expand your horizons. ‘Cross contextual learning’ will keep you inspired, interested and curious.
2. Expose yourself to new ideas on a relentless basis; change your cuisine, choice of reading magazine or sport. Keep on pushing the envelope.
3. Take the time to study kids. Kids see the world through a set of eyes of wonder (see my babies here). They are great models of curiosity. Watch how they learn and how they live out of their imagination. They do not stick to the past.
4. Take the time to engage in lifelong learning and expand your resources. Read books, watch documentaries, explore galleries and go on expeditions when you can.

‘Spending time with great minds will allow you to play a better game as a human being.’

Be curious and most of all be you because no one else will be absorbing all the beauty around you in the unique way that you do.

My Journey and How I ended up with Robin Sharma

Six years ago I began my search for happiness. I didn’t know at the time that it was happiness that I was searching for. To be honest, I just wanted to end the anger and helplessness I was feeling at the time. My story will be told in another post . However, for now let us just say that I have come a long, long , loooong way .

A friend at the time had guided me to my first book in years and that was The Celestine Prophecy. You know one of those friends who disappear from your life for decades only to re-appear to bestow some words of wisdom and disappear again. That was my angel of a friend-Joanna Al Najjar. Funny thing is I was never a reader until then. I held my first book since under-grad. and I was hooked, she had opened me up to the world of possibilities. Needless to say, I did not understand a word of the book but I felt something begin to shift inside of me.

I went onto explore the works of Dr. Brian Weiss and Deepak Chopra and again, even though I truly understood nothing, I felt happy to be reading anyway. It wasn’t until I came across Robin Sharma and read The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari and wow did it make a huge difference. All of a sudden everything fell in place.

A full circle with Robin Sharma

So the other day, I met up with a new friend. A wonderful lady who had approached me to teach kick-boxing and as we were getting to know each other, she asks me ‘So, what’s your story?’. As I proceed to give her a backdrop of where my conscious journey began, I find myself speaking of Robin Sharma once again. I explain to her how I had found it interesting that my favourite characters growing up were the Cheshire Cat, Yoda and Aslan the Lion. All along I thought well naturally they were my favourite because they were cute. But the truth is, apart from Aslan the Lion, the White Rabbit and Chewbacca are way cuter. And I am reminded of the truth that there are no coincidences is life.

That interaction was on Friday morning. By Friday evening-I receive a message from another angel friend of mine who disappears from my life every now and then-(Isn’t it funny how those who disappear you tend to love the most lol)-and she says she has a ticket to a conference happening the next day where…drum roll please…Robin Sharma will be speaking. Wow, I just had a big, fat smile on my face.

VIP Tickets and a room full of at least 1,000 entrepreneurs, The Socialight Conference was an amazing success.

Will of Iron as inspired by Robin Sharma

Leaders have an incredible level of self-discipline. They are consist, focused, follow through on their goals and ultimately live their dreams. They have a will of iron.

Robin Sharma shares these success traits with us and how to develop those through 4 main tactics, they are:

1-Join the 5 O’Clock Club.

Develop the habit of getting up at 5am-’Win the battle of the bed’. Benjamin Franklin said ‘There will plenty of time to sleep when I am dead’. This new habit may take you a few weeks but you can do it. It usually takes 3-4 weeks to install a new habit. We have this incredible ability to adapt as human beings. This will give you an incredible level of self-control and personal mastery.

Take 60 mins for yourself in a holy hour: Write your journal | Nourish your soul | Exercise | ‘Re-script your limited thinking’.

2-Finish what you start.

Many people stop doing something the moment it gets uncomfortable. Never give up, elite performers never do.

3-Do the Uncomfortable.

Get out of your comfort zone and when you do that you begin to develop an enormous level of personal power and self-discipline. Your will is like a muscle, the more you flex it and condition it the more powerful it becomes. You already have it within you, you just need to wake it up .

4- Celebrate little things.

When you follow through on self-promise, celebrate that little win. It is important to treat yourself when you follow through on that commitment. It doesn’t matter what it is: try reacting in kindness than in anger. It is already within you, just waiting to come out.

This post is dedicated to my inspirational friend-Carol Burnett who has the will of iron and is customizing her superhero suit as we speak. I love you Carol.

I am currently reading Robin Sharma’s latest book titled The Leader Who Had No Title, more good things to come .

Until then Be your authentic self,
