It is said that every cloud has a silver lining and that there’s always light at the end of the tunnel. Why should we wait to get to the end of the tunnel before we see the light?
We should always live with the BELIEF that there’s light all around us, and not just at the end of the tunnel. The best time to realize this fact is during any festive period, and I personally feel that all festivals are the best period of hopes.
Many households take pains to save that little extra so that they can splurge on a decent celebration. Buying new clothes for the kids gives parents immense pleasure because they can see the joy on the little faces. Isn’t that what we all hope to see on children’s faces - the bright, beaming smiles stemming from genuine love and gratitude?
The whole family takes great pride in sprucing up the house for the occasion. New curtains are hung with matching cushion covers, vases are filled with flowers, carpets are beaten and washed, new table cloths are bought and in some cases the house is given a new coat of paint.
When the children are happy, the family scene automatically brightens up. The family is able to set aside whatever difficulties they may be facing, for that one day at least, and get into the celebrative mood.
Even in the poorest corners of the world, we get to see images of semi naked, street children celebrating Christmas with sparkles in their hands and the biggest of smiles. That to me is hope.
Hope that not all is doom and gloom. There is much hope out there and much to hope for as well. If we focused our energies into obtaining a better quality of life there’s no reason why we shouldn’t achieve it.
I believe this is why we lit the lights for just about any festival. The light itself acts as a symbol of hope for better things to come. It is believed that light empowers us to commit ourselves to good deeds.
How we celebrate festivals may differ in many ways, but what remains true and constant is that festivals are the celebration of life, its enjoyment and goodness.
Merry Christmas To You…..and all……

I read enthusiastically this article titled Enable Your Success: Create A Powerful Vision, by Chuck Kocher yesterday evening while waiting for my kids to finish their homework. Being in a mood to read all these motivating, inspiring articles makes me wonder if I am living life to the fullest, seriously, and till the end of this article I have the answer.
This article is very conversational type and it looks at you like it is trying to tell you to start taking action, immediately! I have picked some lines from the article, here and there, to make it short, enjoy reading it, it might help you too.
Have you ever found yourself wondering, “Where am I really going with my life, my career or my business?” Do you ever feel that your passion, energy and attitude are just not what they used to be? Do you sense a need for change but you are not really sure what to do? Do you finally want to take control of your destiny and your life?
At one point of our lives, most of us have asked these questions or ourselves. But the biggest question of all is what did you do about it - or what are you going to do about it? Sadly enough, most people dream but never really do anything more than that.
You see, you - and only you - control the keys to your destiny. Creating a powerful vision is the start of it all and will set your life in forward motion toward success. It will unlock your energy, attitude and passion.
In life, we will have many choices to make. We can choose to be reactive or be proactive. Do you want to set the course for your life, or do you want to simply follow a pre-destined map?
You and you alone control how you think. Our mind is the most powerful asset we have.
Creating A Powerful Vision
- You need to paint a picture of the future that is vivid and colorful. You can leave no detail unturned.
- You will need to see yourself in your vision.
- You will also need to feel what it is like to be in your vision.
Six Essentials for Actualizing your Powerful Vision
1. The Plan
- Have a comprehensive plan
- Your plan must have specific goals that are measurable and achievable.
- Have significant goals and objectives, that will move you closer to your vision.
2. Trusted Advisors
- You must have experts to offer you counsel and advice.
3. Find A Mentor
- Find someone who has been there and done it in your industry or related field.
- Don’t forget to learn from the mistakes that they made along the way.
4. Jury of your peers
- Create a network or group of peers that you can consult with on a periodic basis.
- Open an honest feedback from a peer group is a fantastic way to learn.
5. Flawless Execution
- Commit yourself to flawless execution of your plans.
- A comprehensive plan is a requirement.
- Have an action plan that enables execution.
- Execution will make or break your vision.
- The devil truly lies in the details of execution!
6. Embrace Continual Learning And Change
- A vision is not static, but dynamic. You will change and it will change.
- Be ready and embrace change.
- Be a voracious learner.
CAUTION! Seven Vision Killers.
Creating a powerful vision is one thing - actualizing it is another. There are many obstacles that you will face in actualizing your vision. However, the biggest obstacle that you may actually face might just be you.
The following are the personal vision killers that we see time and time again:
- Procastination/Indecision - I will eventually make my decision…
- Lack of total Commitment/Focus - The grass is always greener…
- Self-belief/Confidence - I just can’t do it!
- Fear of failure and/or success - This is really just an excuse not to be successful!
- Knowing it already - If you stop learning, you stop growing and stop living!
- Trying to do it all yourself - Why would anyone in their right mind try to do it all themselves?
- Dream, dream, dream - Always living in the future and never making it happen in the present!
YOUR NEXT CHALLENGE…..
If you really want to change, you can. But first, you must have the desire to and then commit to do so. So I challenge you to take control of your destiny, create a powerful vision and start on the journey to success in your career, your business and your life!

Here’s a great article which I really liked by Louise Hay. I would like to share it with you, all comments are welcome…..
Prosperity
“I deserve the best, and I accept the best, now.”
If you want the above affirmation to be true for you, then you DO NOT want to believe any of the following statements:
Money doesn’t grow on trees.
Rich people are crooks.
I will never get a good job.
I will never make any money.
Money goes out faster than it comes in.
I am always in debt.
Poor people can never get out from under.
My parents are poor, and I will be poor.
Only people who cheat have money.
Save for a rainy day.
Money only comes from hard work.
How many of this beliefs belong to you? Do you really think that believing any of them will bring you prosperity?
It is old limited thinking. Perhaps it was what your family believed about money, because family beliefs stay with us unless we consciously release them. Wherever it came from, it must leave your consciousness if you want to prosper.
To me, true prosperity begins with feeling good about yourself. It is also the freedom to do what you want to do, when you want to do it. It is never an amount of money; it is a state of mind.
If we do not accept the idea that we ‘deserve’ to prosper, then even when abundance falls in our laps, we will refuse it somehow. Look at this example :
A student was working to increase his prosperity. He came to class one night so excited, for he had just won $500. He kept saying, “I don’t believe it! I never win anything.” It was a reflection of his changing consciousness. He still felt he did not really deserve it. Following week he couldn’t come to class, as he had broken his leg. The doctor bills came to $500!
He had been frightened to “move forward” in a new “prosperous direction” and felt undeserving, so he punished himself in this way. Whatever we concentrate on increases, so don’t concentrate on your bills. If you concentrate on lack and debt, then you will create more lack and debt!
There is an inexhaustible supply in the Universe. Begin to be aware of it. Be grateful for what you do have, and you will find that it increases. Our own belief in lack and limitation is the only thing that is limiting us. What belief is limiting you?
Be sure you are not rejecting prosperity now. Keep the flow of things moving through you. This way, you let the Universe know you are ready to receive your good.
Just take care of your own thoughts. Bless another’s good fortune, and know there’s plenty for all. Begin to recognize prosperity everywhere, and rejoice in it. Rejoice in the abundance of being able to awaken each morning and experience a new day.
