Simple and Powerful ideas to design your life the way you want
We all have dreams in life like starting a business, becoming financially free, be healthy etc, but something is inhibiting us from achieving them. The years seem to roll by, recessions come and go and we are still left dreaming.
Rajesh's little book Upbeat! shows us how to turn those dreams into reality and be upbeat throughout the process irrespective of the external circumstances. His message is simple.
1. You don't need to do super duper extraordinary things to turn your dreams into reality, but do a few simple things consistently and extraordinarily. [..Read one page from an inspiring book daily, do 15 minutes of yoga/walk/excericse daily..]
2. The biggest enemy inhibiting us is not the economy nor the gazillion "bad things" that happens to us, but it is the "enemy within". We inhibit ourselves by the thoughts we have, the bad things we say about ourselves to ourselves, by brooding too much over our past failures. The book shows us how to first manage ourselves and our moods.
3. Once we can manage ourselves, we will become competent to manage our projects (plans to turn dreams into realities), manage our network and get good help to execute the projects.
For a small book readable in 30 to 45 minutes, this book is packed with potent ideas to help you take action right away and start seeing changes in your life.
Need a lift????
Regardless of what you do this book will help put some pep in your step.
It is easy to find mundane activities throughout our day that produces absolutely nothing. Whether you run a company with responsibility for others or simply manufacturing your own way through life, this book will begin to organize your thoughts and motives moving forward.
* Too often we are looking for others to give and we are happy to receive. This book will help you understand your network and how to work within it...Be a giver
* Too often we want to do it all. This book will remind you to accelerate in what you do best and encourage you to surround yourself with others that complement your talents
* Too often we dwell in self pity. This book will remind you of what makes you great
The greatest investment we have is in ourselves...Rajesh has done a great job in creating a short read speak volume in words
Breeding the Right Attitude for Success
It's easy to have a terrific, upbeat attitude when things are going well; maintaining that sunny disposition when the stock market and housing markets are in decline, and your business is barely getting by---that's the trick. Rajesh Setty's advice may sound corny to some cynics; like mere platitudes; but it's what many of us need to hear, especially in these difficult times.
Nobody wants to listen to people complain about their troubles; yet for some reason, many of those people don't realize that also applies to their sad state of affairs. Setty's gentle advice: Get over it. Instead of being so focused on your own personal dilemma, broaden the scope of your thinking to include helping others who are far less fortunate. It's a recurring theme of "giving" instead of only trying to "receive"; and it's a good message.
Setty's pep talk is short and sweet; it's not profound, but it's going to help a lot of people out, if they listen to his advice. Sometimes, the simplest strategies can produce stunning results. Give it a shot; it won't hurt.
