All successful people had clear Goals.
Goals are the motivation factor in human life.
Every one who has achieved anything significant in their lives, had at an earlier time very intensely thought about their dream or goal. And this thought was dominant in their mind all the while. A deep desire to achieve their goal triggred many mechanisms (that till then lay dormant) in their mind which forced them to act in such a way thus creating an environment which made them worthy of their goals.
Now here is the fun: many of them never even knew the science that they so unknowingly used to succeed. (This science works like the power of gravity. You dont have to get a doctorate in gravity for you to jump off a building and reach the bottom!!) I have personally interviewed 100s of CEOs and winners in various fields who started very small and made it very big in life and I understand one common criteria in their lives. They all had clear cut goals. They all had visions of what they would be at some point of life later. This was their motivation factor to work. It served as a homing beacon throwing them the direction of direction.
There is no motivation without a motive. Get a goal. There are thousands of methods how you can harness on the power of focused attention. Spend some time with a person who knows goals and ask him to help you set yours. Somebody asked Rockfeller the steel tycoon "what are the most important points to succeed in life?" And Rockefeller told him "2 points young man. First decide what you want, and next find the price you have to pay for it and begin paying it today" Well that is how nature works too. You need to pay in advance for what you want to receive from her.This is a rich universe and there is much more than plenty for each and every soul on this earth and off it. It is only a question of what you want. Get getting clear about life.
There is going be a day and a year called 1st January 2020. It is most certain to come. And you will be somewhere when that happens. The question is "where will you be?"
Goal setting is an art. Learn it.

Keeping a relationship
First give into a relationship what you would like to get from it.
Each time I read this phrase, it gives me more reason to look at my relationships. It carries so much value and yet it is so simple you could read it and still not get its meaning.
If you would like someone to smile at you then all you have to do is just smile at them. Go on take the initiative. It is a irrefutable command to the other person to smile at you. Not knowing this we refrain from doing so and....get what we asked for.
If you are in a relationship (no matter where you are) and if you would like to grow your relationship with that person, then do this simple exercise, and I promise you, you will feel happy you did.
(1) First visualize from deep inside your heart a sincere relationship with your spouse or friend or who ever. (2) Then pick up the phone (yes NOW) and ask them where they are now, are they busy, and tell them that you called "just like that" because you felt like doing so. Thats it.
Do it once in about 3 - 4 days and when you do so, be sincere about your talk. Use words that are meaningful. And do it irrespective of any indifference you may have between you both. And get ready to be amazed by the result that happens.
Life is so simple. All we need to do is learn to pay our dues in advance. You cannot expect a harvest from the soil without any toil right? Well, I do not know, but that is the way nature works for some reason.
