3 Personal Development Steps To Success

Note: I found this article on the internet, was interesting for me just want to share.

The Self Improvement industry constantly tells us that we must change our beliefs if we are ever to achieve the success we desire. Personal Development teachers point out the fact that action is necessary in order to achieve change and alter our lives to reflect our dreams and ambitions. Well how do you get yourself to take action when you don't know what action to take and when the world is telling you to stay put and not to strive for the impossible?
There is only one way!
Change your beliefs - This is real Personal Development Power!
The greatest of Self Improvement teachers tell you that in order to achieve success and have the ability to take action you must first alter your beliefs. But why is this and how can you do it?
Well, our beliefs are merely a set of thoughts that you have about a given subject. They do not need to be, and usually aren't, based of any real hard facts. Did you know that there are many psychological studies that show the views people have about themselves are wrong. Most people tend to be very hard on themselves and rarely give themselves credit for their achievements or recognize their own strengths. If you are a normal human being then you are doing exactly the same thing!
Since thought always precedes action, it is imperative to change your disempowering, self-defeating destructive beliefs to empowering ones that will create drive, confidence, faith and, ultimately, success!
By changing your beliefs your core thoughts will change and thus your actions will be completely different than they have been before and in alignment with your desires. I can give you 3 simple, yet highly effective, steps which you can start to use immediately to change your beliefs and your life. They only require a small amount of effort but you do need a lot of persistence to keep following them! Remember its all about taking action.
Step 1. Learn to recognize your emotional responses and you will learn to control your thoughts.
When you begin to watch your emotions you will learn to control your thoughts. Our emotions are just a by-product of the thoughts we are thinking. When you think a sad thought you get sad and when you think a happy thought you feel happy. Although to many people this sounds overly simply YOU must realize that there is great wisdom and huge rewards that come from watching your feelings.
When you feel bad it means you are thinking about the things you do not want. When you are experiencing joyful happy emotions it is a clear indication that your thoughts are in the same direction as your goals and desires. Feeling good means you are focusing on the things in life that you really want! Teach yourself to be aware of your emotional state. By watching how you feel you can easily regulate your thoughts.
Make the decision now to watch how you are feeling, especially when you are concentrated on your goals and desires. When you feel bad and are experiencing negative emotions it is a sign that your thinking is in the wrong direction. Feeling bad is an indication that you are focused on the things in life that you do not want. If you are feeling good then you are focused on the benefits of actually having what you want. You always get more of what you focus on even quantum physics is now telling us this!
So, use your emotions to gauge how you are feeling and if you are feeling bad then begin immediately to change your thoughts to the opposite. Focus on what you want until you begin to feel good. Through persistence you will thus condition yourself for success.
Step2. Let Go!
Don't try to force the issue by trying to work out every little detail of how you are going to achieve your desires. Just by focusing on them you set in motion powerful forces that will bring people, situations and circumstances that will open up opportunities for achieve what you want.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with having a plan of action. In fact this is very desirable. Just don't get so caught up in the plan that you lose sight of the goal.
Learn to have an optimistic yet detached view. By grabbing and trying to force every situation in your favour you merely cause yourself frustration. This will mean you never enjoy the journey towards success but more than that it means you are focusing on the lack of your desire. You always get more of what you focus on!
Step 3. Take action!
Being flexible and allowing the Universe to show you the way towards your goals and desires is definitely the best way to achieve success.
It is necessary, however, for you to take some action or at least be willing to take some. Take one step forward and the Universe will take ten steps to meet you!
The whole point of changing your beliefs is so that your thoughts change and thus your actions change also. If you take action, even tiny baby steps, towards your desires and goals you have already ensured that you will eventually reach them.
If you want to walk from LA to New York you may feel overwhelmed by the sheer hugeness of the goal. However, if you walk 5 miles every day within a week you will be 35 miles closer to your goal. It may take you almost a year and a half to reach your destination but it is possible when you break the goal down and take some action! When you are willing to take action you will find that strange things begin to happen. You may just find that the Universe sends a Porsche to give you a lift! - "The journey of a thousands miles begins with a single step", Chinese proverb.

Life........

I have been thinking about life……………when we are born……….get older………..and finally die………so what is all this life?…………. I get depressed when I think about death…………. But why? Why do we like our lives so much?........... why we don’t want to leave this world?..............for most of us this is a horrible world…………with horrible life………… but still we love these horrible………… are these horrible lovable????????????.............never……………..you know why we love our lives so much………….that is because when we are died we are buried…………..when you witness someone is put in to the grave and hundred tones of soil is thrown on him, and then you leave him alone in a place that you cannot get near to when it is dark, that gives you the picture of death…………. Yes, you are worried that you are buried and left alone…………but what would have happened if at least you had to fly after you death………maybe death was no so horrible………….When someone is died and buried, for some people is end of everything…………..some people think there is nothing after that…………….but is it so?.............. No……….I can remember a note given to Leura Bush when she left Wight House and it said “There are times that you think everything is finished, but that is a start for something new”. That is right……….when you think that everything is finished, that is a start for something new………….we have something new afterwards………..but why some people cannot believe it? Because they just believe in their eyes, feelings and imaginations……..and none of these can fly in the world of death………….they do not have visa and passport to see what is happening behind the scene. So how do we know that there is a start after the end………….First we all believe in GOD……………He has created us…………..where did we come from?............from none-existence ………….He has the power to bring us from none to the existence………so he has the same power to give us another start……………and that is start for justice.

How do we look to the world?

Everyone has his own way of thinking to the world, but in general there are two approaches and each one in one extreme.
In one of the approaches people look to world in a lovely way. They think everything in the world is good, lovely and beautiful. There is nothing bad, ugly and horrible, except what our mind thinks and makes.
On the other extreme people think everything in the world is bad, ugly and horrible. They think life in general is collection of tricks and to keep it going you must fight or fly. When I look to origin of these thoughts; I generally find that the first idea is raised more in the developed societies, where everything is available for a good living. But the letter idea is more common among people where they are fighting with basic needs of life. People in the first party think that an optimistic look to the life and world has led them to the better life.
As I am socially with the second group of people; I am question myself if that the "optimistic look to life" itself is a key to a better life, or a better life gives birth to this idea. When you have every thing for a good living; you have a good shelter, good food, good income, good security and lots of other good things in your life there is no doubt that you will have good look to your life. But if you wake up with cry of your children weeping from hunger, you passed a rainy night under a broken shelter, you did not get your salary for 3-4 months, every moment you are expecting robbery, or bombardments how can you have a good look to the life?
Sometimes I am thinking about my father, my self and people who have came from the west. My father and people who spent their life in the west were in two extremes and I am wondering in the middle. My father spent most of his life as immigrant; he was fighting with horrible pictures life and finally passed away while he was very sick but could not get a good medical help and had nothing for a good living. The picture he saw from the life was a horrible one; war, hunger, broken shelter, insecurity, disease, and all terrible things that one can think of. On the other hand his friends who passed their time in the west had everything for a good life. They were away from war. Hunger, disease, and insecurity were strangers to them. The picture they had from world was beautiful and lovely. And here I am in the middle. I was a witness war, but now living in a relative peace. I spent my childhood in hunger and under broken shelter, but now am an owner of a better life. I have a test of both groups, and I have a picture from world which has both extremes.
Now if I come back to the message that "good look to the world makes your life good" I don’t agree. I would say that "good life makes you to have a good look to the world"

Today I was off from the hospital, woke up at around 11:00AM. Yes, very late. Coz I worked till 12 med night and when came back home I got to my addiction, Internet. It was almost 2:00 AM that I slept. So at 11:00 I woke up, did my prayer and had my breakfast and lunch together. Studied a little bet, then called the Edinburgh College in London to inquire about the Internal medicine course, the course had already started and they advised me to wait for a year. And then I called Queen Mary University, they promised to send a reply through email, which they have not done yet. It was afternoon, I called a friend for a tour of the Al Ain Palace Museum. We went, but it was closed. 

And finally, here I am in Al Ain, UAE, as physician. I feel happy and feel sad being here. For my family and for my country I feel sad, but as the only Afghan doctor in this country, I feel proud. Even Pakistanis, those who speak Pashtu say they are proud that a Pashtun has passed this country's tough exam and has the license to practice medicine. I am planning to study online and get my Masters degree from a prestigious university, maybe from UK. But these courses are really expensive, till now I have not found any scholarship, it seems I have to pay myself. Can I? Maybe, but for the greater responsibilities I have, it is not so easy.

Once upon a time in a city which had no border....

Once upon a time in a city which had no border and no leader and where people were appointed from other cities by a big boss lived a young gentleman who worked in a modern superstore. The superstore was very modern made for rich people, but poor would also come for their special needs. The young man was from the middle class but with a heart beating for poor people. His life was very interesting, selling for rich and poor. There were times when upper class people would come and would expect workers to work for them as servants. One day a friend of mayor who was appointed by the big boss to keep a close eye on the mayor came to the superstore. Entering the store, he was welcomed by the young man. With the mentality that all people living in the city were servants of mayor and his big boss he even didn’t look to the young man. With his head up and eyes in the sky and streaks on forehead he started asking questions from the young man. The young man was answering the questions calmly. Though the young man had good education, but to the proud buyer he was just a stupid servant. After few questions the cubby friend of mayor understood that he was facing an educated gentleman, and that he would never bow his head as servant to him. During buying his needs they were talking about mayor. The chubby and proud friend started complaining from the mayor, that he was doing what he wanted and acting in a one man show manner, and people around the mayor were stupid. This conversation ended shortly with some more complaints. The young man wrote a part of the story in his diary, which other people could also read. The intention of the young man was to show what kind of people were ruling on the city, with stupid kind of mentality. Months passed from this story, many people read it. One day an important person from the super market came, exploding from anger, with shaking voice shouted why he has written such thing. In that city writing about mayor and his band was not allowed. He was warned to erase the story otherwise he would go to jail for such kind of “CRIME”. The young man resisted and accepted the risk, just to tell the truth to his people, but letter on he thought he has other ways to resist against the imposed system. So he tore that page from his diary and put it in a secure area. The young man is still in that city, with stronger faith against what was imposed on his city from outside. He has promised to write more and talk more with his people. He has planned to work more with poor people, to sell cheaper to poor ones. He has promised to take any risk in the favor of city, even if it takes his life.
