How many times in our lives we set ourselves against those things for which we know nothing. Life is full of surprises and it has more shares of failures than successes. You can take failures as path to success but that would be true only when you have the courage to rise and pursue the goal again. What you expect and visualize can be quite different from what you eventually face. Dealing with unexpected is like walking in a dark room and making sure you do not hit something on your way. On contrary, unexpected can be a fear in the mind of not knowing even when you are fully prepared to face every situation. Nevertheless, each individual is different and so is their approach to face the realities of life.

 

It is in human nature to avoid risk and get inclined towards something which is more predictable. A fear of failure guides our action and makes us do things which are below our capability. What you expect at times gets driven by what others expect from you and then you are burdened with additional load to live up to their expectations. But this premises is inherently faulty because rather than limiting your abilities you should try to surpass it. This is a complex web where how we perform gets eventually driven by our existence in this social world.

 

The Basic Mistakes which People do when they are up against the unexpected is

 

1.      Rather than working towards success they work towards knowing more about unexpected

2.      Rather than visualizing success they find it hard to keep failures off their mind

3.      Rather than working hard they work more towards the hacks that can be applied

 

 Human Mind needs success and they need it badly. The story of success has never been simple. The biggest blow to the unexpected is your ability to Feel and Breathe Success

 

1.      Success in your mind makes unexpected look insignificant

2.      Success in your mind makes difficulties look like opportunities

3.      Success in your mind makes you look for nothing but winning

 

Yes, expect nothing but Success when you face the unexpected. And you can be better prepared if you make yourself ready for it.

 

Below are 5 steps which would help you to prepare yourself for success and achieve it in a rocking manner. Master them and never ever you would need to worry about unexpected.

 

1) You Have to Reach There- Just as sharp shooter see nothing but target, you need to see nothing but your goal. Tell yourself no matter what happens you have to achieve what you have set yourself for. Nothing can come in between you and your success. It can happen to you today or in a year but it would happen to you and you would work hard towards it.

 

2)  Failures Would Be Part of it- Failures are part of success and are inseparable. Failures make us deserve our goals and it also makes worthy of it. Never ever get bogged down by failures because they are temporary. The only thing which should be permanent in your mind is success. You have to tell yourself to take failures in your stride just because they are part of success.

 

3) Don’t Close Your Eyes and Mind When You Fail- If you haven’t learned from failure you haven’t learned at all. For some people it is too difficult to accept failure and recognize it. It is their pampered ego which needs to be preserved and saved against all painful blows. What most people fail to realize is that failures helps us prevent costly mistakes in near future. Avoid them and you are destined to learn them the hard way.

 

4) Rise Again- Failure takes the charm out of goals. They make you feel discouraged and often soak away your blood. All dreams gets shattered and you are left with nothing but a bad taste in your mind and heart. When everything is not happening right and everything is against you, the ability to rise and stage a comeback always defines the real you. Make failure a painful past and always take future a promising dream. Rise Again.

 

 

5) Keep the Faith- Patience and Hard Work are Key to success. More important is your faith that success would come to your eventually. Good things do happen and they often happen to people who are best prepared for them. Never let the faith die down.

 

Life is unexpected but still you live it everyday and that too happily. Make your Goals your life and you would never ever fear what to expect no matter how hard the things becomes. Success would always be round the corner.

I can’t think of a good time where I would not have a good book beside me to read and enjoy. It is a luxury for me to have books of my taste and the ones that give a kick to my senses. Yes, I do like watching movies but both are just incomparable. My taste is different and more inclined towards how we can make difference to our lives. On contrary my wife likes fiction and loves to live in world of imagination. I still remember hours we spent together in local bookstore to find books that really suits our taste. Amazon is a great online place but a small review or reading first few pages generally gives you a grip on what would come in following chapters. My biggest worry has always been and would always remain how to find more books that suits my taste and get them quickly on my schedule.

 

Situation was different few years back when I used to run away from books and had developed a phobia for it. It was fun to buy books and read few pages but after that it was zilch. The frustration at that point was more related to consistency then to have anything worth digesting. I had become more of a dream to read complete book and have more of them each passing day. I knew no matter how much I try I could not disassociate myself from them and would get back whenever I had slightest opportunity. Sometimes I used to satisfy my urge by reading more articles from newspaper or some magazine but they seldom lack the enjoyment you get from a flow that gets developed by reading a book. I knew I had to return to them and make them part of life. I am happy I did and my blog is an extension of thoughts that has got refined because of my habit of reading more books.

 

So if you love books and want to read more of them but could not do so then this post is for you. I hope this post would analyze the problem for you and would prepare you for next step

 

When we buy a book

 

1) The Idea is to enjoy it

2) The Idea is to learn from it

3) The Idea is to get a peep into the mind of author

 

We do buy a book but problem is

 

1) We read few pages then leave it

2) Some urgent things come and we don’t touch it for few more days

3) When we touch it again we tend to start from the first page again.

 

This cycle continues till the time we buy another book

 

1) We start to read that book as it is more interesting than the former

2) Soon we get busy again and leave the book in between

3) Again after gap of few days we start it to drop the book again

 

This Habits leads to Guilt

 

1) Your collection of book increases

2) All these books now needs to be read

3) It becomes more of a task than a pleasure activity

 

Ultimately you reach a situation where

 

1) You cannot buy more because of backlog

2) You cannot read them because you won’t know from where to start

3) Even if you start the tension of having more books to read discourages you

 

This cycle continues and soon you develop a phobia for books. You

 

1) Cannot throw away those books

2) You are not interested in reading them

3) There is no one who can help you in such situation.

 

I have found maximum people who suffer from this problem and tons of people who have never developed the habit of reading a book. People just fail to understand that it is an excellent exercise and pleasure activity one can have for their mind. Even if they love the wall of guilt has become so big that they prefer to run from it.

 

But there is a solution to it. It has helped me and I hope this would help the readers two.

 

1) At any point buy 2 to 3 books only to start with.

2) Take One book Out to read

3) When you finish that book partly put a book mark on the page you have left.

 

Now go to your job, vacation, or get busy with plenty of tasks. You don’t need to worry because your book is still waiting for you to start from the page where you have left. It is like viewing a television program after a pause.

 

When you again get the time

 

1) Start from the page you have left

2) Don’t start form first page because the story is already in your mind

3) You don’t need to learn it by heart. It is just the story or concept that you have to enjoy.

 

After That- Most Important Part is to

 

1) Finish that Book

2) Don’t start with second book till the first one is complete

3) Don’t take out any other book from the shelf

 

When You finish a Book

 

1) You get a felling of completeness

2) You get a feeling of achievement

3) You feel good and proud of yourself.

 

This is simple method and I am sure most of you must know about it. But important point is that

 

1) It is effective

2) It gives results

3) It makes you good reader

 

These are small habits we ignore in our everyday life and get burdened with worthless guilt and remorse in our heart.

 

Kill the Guilt.

 

When you develop a habit buy dozens of books. You don’t need to worry about your purchase.

 

Simple Habits Leads to Effective Solutions

 

Read Books and More and More of them.
