Life’s Challenges are the perfect opportunities for Self- Growth

You may have often found yourself facing Life’s Challenges. You may have even said to yourself, “Why me?”  You may have wondered when this challenge will go away. You may have faced anxiety or worse depression as a result…

Life’s challenges have a way of disrupting our lives; coming at times we ‘think’ we need them the least, costing us our valuable time and resources that we could have used elsewhere! Yes it becomes an inconvenience we do not “need” as we stay focused on everything else but this inconvenience! We are irritated and frustrated for we did not ‘plan’ for this challenge!

I do not know of anyone who has not faced of any life challenge!

I also know that most do get very anxious.

I was there once too – a life challenge would get me wringing my hands, in panic and overwhelmed not knowing what to do.

So how do we overcome this feeling of overwhelm?

The answer is very simple and yet profound – by understanding the real meaning of a Life Challenge; changing our perspective on how we look at life, changing our attitude towards life!

What is the real meaning of a Life Challenge?

• A life challenge is a blessing in disguise.
• It comes into our life to teach us critical lessons which might not have learned otherwise.
• It forces us look deeper into our beings for we live in a very external world most of the time.
• It is an opportunity for growth.
• It makes us challenge and expand our own self-inflicted boundaries and limits.
• It makes us strong as we learn how to take action and resolve the challenge to come back into balance, by forcing us to tap into our unknown potentials.
• It makes us look for solutions we did not think were possible.

“You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.” ~ John Kabat-Zin

 We are all limitless in our capabilities. We all have the ability to ride the high tide and come back onto solid ground.

• Accept the challenge for what it is.
• Ride the wave as you face feelings and emotions that make you look deeper into yourself, take the necessary action steps as you learn how to resolve the   challenge.
• Come out of the challenge stronger than ever before!

Let’s not take this beautiful life for granted.  Know that a Life Challenge is there to keep you on your toes as you stay rooted in your faith and belief that ALL IS WELL. ~ Umang Goel

Belief, Sub-Conscious Mind & Desired Outcome

People often think like this:

I understand the life philosophy and I am acting on it and yet it is not producing results I desire! I am not able to attract my desired outcome!

Here is how it actually works:

Your actions are in complete alignment with your subconscious mind and the results are in complete alignment with your actions. So irrespective of what you may think that you are planning and doing, if there is any mis-alignment between your subconscious mind and your current thoughts and words, the actions will speak the loudest for it will continuously align itself with what your true perceptions are, based on what resides in your subconscious mind.

What should we do?

Consciously look at your life and what is happening in the current state. If you do not like how your life is in its current state, look at how you really feel about things in your life, your thoughts and words, your actions; look at what you truly believe about those things. Your belief may be completely misaligned with what you are trying very hard to do!

For example:

An overweight person may say that they want to come to their optimal weight, and they start a program as well! But very soon they sabotage themselves and fail to get the desired outcome! Why?

Because in their subconscious mind they have already failed! They don’t really believe that they can achieve what they have set out for. They do not have faith in their actions in spite of the conscious mind guiding them to start acting on their plan!

You have to have complete faith, an absolute conviction in the system you are working with, the projects, the plans, the actions, what you desire, and only then each of these aspects will be in alignment and result in the desired outcome.

People miss the desired outcome for they have failed to align their beliefs, thoughts, actions, words, and goals/dreams.

Your sub-conscious mind is the doorway to infinite intelligence.

We all have the potential, but we need proper guidance so that we can correctly ‘see’ what is not in alignment and what can be done and then have continuous guidance towards complete alignment and the desired life outcome.  ~ Umang Goel

Self Empowerment is critical to a happy, confident and self sufficient human being.

Many of us feel lost, and are left struggling in so many ways keeping us from living our life’s potential. Each one of us has it within us to achieve the dreams and desires that are coming from our heart space. But we are humans and human world is based on relationships. In order for us to have the best human relationships we have to learn the tools to have the best relationship with the Self first. And this is where a Mentor comes in the picture – the mentor of the best kind, who not only has your best interest, but who has the skills and the tools to support your growth process. It is imperative that each one of us who has this intense desire to grow, to find this person whose philosophies and teaching style you agree with, who you will listen to and who will be subtly aggressive in their coaching so that you can actually see the results you desire. The student-teacher relationship is very important, and so it is even more important to find the right teacher. It is also very important for the teacher to find the right student. When there is an authentic meeting of the minds, the outcome is SUCCESS.

Yesterday, I could not have said it better as was said by one of my Private Annual Life Coaching Students:

“Aren’t we naive and ignorant to know if we are perceiving things in the right direction before we knew the POWER of EMPOWERMENT!
How my Journey of Freedom began?
I reached out for help. July 4th, 2013 was my first session.
How it helped me?

• Made me believe in myself every time
• Changed my mind set by making me realize how important it is the way you perceive things and you always have to keep moving
• Made me aware of how my thoughts, perceptions, belief system attracted people, situations in my life
• Provided logical answers, a different way of looking to all my questions
•  Made me aware of the cosmos laws and how the universe works
• Journey continues in getting empowered, building a self-centered and unshakable being 
• I am very grateful to have find a Mentor, who has created this awareness in me and has a burning desire (of the same level) to see me where I wish to see myself in LIFE!!”

Antidote To Fear Is Action

You will never know what you will miss out on unless you give it your very best shot!

Thoughts come to mind to do this or that, but these thoughts are never realized for lack of action on the thought, simply because the fear of the unknown takes over. The mind thinks up of innumerable barriers to prevent the thought from being realized. The result is that the mind has failed even before taking the first action step!

Can you imagine not having electricity that improves our lives from moment to moment?

Can you imagine there being no airplane to take us to far lands to be with our loved ones?

Can you imagine there being no internet that gives us virtual meeting grounds?

None of the above would have been realized if after the very first thought of the concept, action steps had not been taken!

Instead of fearing failure, let fear propel you into action; let’s embrace uncertainty with faith that even if the path to the thought (goal) being realized may be very curvy, the destination will be realized!

With faith, patience, courage, action and an indomitable spirit, anything is possible! ~ Umang Goel

Manifest Your Dreams

Many of us dare to dream, but how many of us dive into action with faith and empowerment of turning the dream into reality? We all want to, but many feel it is not possible! I am here to tell you that it is all possible: with intention, devotion, faith, gratitude and action. But there is a very important piece to this puzzle of manifestation – ACCOUNTABILITY! Yes someone to hold you accountable to your powerful intention. The missing ingredient in the recipe for manifesting your dreams: A hand to hold you accountable; a partner in your dreams; someone who wants it as much as you want to achieve your dreams; someone who will devote a dedicated time slot to you and your dreams; someone who does not quit on your dreams even if you lose patience; someone who believes in you; someone who has no qualms in telling you exactly how it is – Yes, that is what a true, authentic MENTOR is, who is not emotionally attached to you! life is precious. Moments of your life are precious. Do not waste time. Go for your dreams. Find yourself a powerful authentic mentor who believes in you and your dreams and who will hold you accountable. Your dreams are waiting to unfold. What are you waiting for? ~ Umang Goel We would love to read your comments below.

Live Your Life Guilt and Regrets Free

Life is too short. Life is very precious. If your heart desires, do it! Don’t let ANYTHING come in the way of your dreams – whether it is a trip you want to make, or something you have been wanting to do for yourself…go for it. Give it your very best shot. Do not feel guilty. Do not pave your way to regrets. It is simply not worth it.

How will you make it happen? By taking some time and resource that are being spent on what is not necessary!

Let’s make a pledge to ourselves – When I pass away from this earth, I will have no regrets; only joy and satisfaction for having lived the life I wanted.  ~ Umang Goel

What makes a joyously successful mind?

How you think, how you perceive, how you respond, and how you take action – all become a recipe for a joyfully successful mind.

2. You have a plan of action, and you have a back-up plan of action.
3. You say black is black without making excuses. Acceptance is a critical concept.
4. You look at things without anxiety even when they do not work, for you take corrective actions until you make it work. You do not try; you do it. You do not do it someday; you do it today.
5. You face fear head on, knowing that antidote to fear is action, and when fear is faced, the true picture emerges.
