Case study 1: The person has not put in enough hard work and the intent is not clear.

Before you fix a goal or a vision for yourself, question yourself why? Why do I have this intent? What is the propelling force behind your intent? Is it to gain stability, to have pleasure, to gain significance and love, is it to win acceptability or is it for growth and contribution? If the reasons are convincing and are more in number, then the inspiration will stand long. On the other hand if they are not, there is not sufficient fuel to push you forward.

Case study 1: The person has not put in enough hard work and the intent is not clear.

Before you fix a goal or a vision for yourself, question yourself  why? Why do I have this intent? What is the propelling force behind your intent? Is it to gain stability, to have pleasure, to gain significance and love, is it to win acceptability or is it for growth and contribution? If the reasons are convincing and are more in number, then the inspiration will stand long. On the other hand if they are not, there is not sufficient fuel to push you forward.

Secondly, check the intent and see to it that it is realistic. Question yourself  Is your intent realistic? Do you feel it is possible to get there if you invested your fullest efforts into it?

Next important thing is, people usually like to draw from the hard work they had put in the past. Having worked for 5 years, you got the results. But what about the results you want to create for the future?

It is like trying to draw money from an empty account, which was once fat. If you need the results now, you will need to work towards it and plan for it.

Don't forget the mantra

'Intent + Effort + Grace = Success'

1. If you are clear with your intent, then systematically write down your plans as to how you are going to achieve it. Take a look at it every day. It will work wonders.

2. Before you begin your day's work, ask yourself am I prepared to put in the required effort today to reach my destination? At the end of the day, check whether you have executed your plans?

Case study 2:

The couple valued growth and contribution the most. When somebody is functioning from growth, they will not settle for mediocrity. They are moving onward, surging ahead. When you value growth and contribution and work towards it, all other needs are automatically fulfilled.

Your contributions reflect who you 'are' and every thing else is what you 'have'. That's the attitude of somebody functioning from the sixth level of consciousness.

This couple also has learnt the importance of creating personal relationships with their employees. They have learnt the art of infusing love into work.

Anybody who wants to be at the top has to be a 'great giver'. And if you have to be a great giver, you need to 'have' what you chose to give. To have much you need to 'learn'. To contribute more, you need to grow more and for that you need to learn more. That is why the mantra "Learn- grow- serve, Learn- grow- share, Learn- grow- contribute".

1. Identify your areas of growth and write them down. What is it you need to learn in order to grow in a particular area of life?

2. What is the need you seek most? For the coming 7 days, fulfill that need in a relationship that counts most. Ex: If your need is importance or love, then for 7 continuous days no matter what, give that love and importance to the other.
