Yesterday I read a quote from a big scholar and guru of our times saying – you should live in the now, you stay present & feel the moment. You hear it almost everywhere these days. I also have said it many times in my articles.

But let me make it clear that “Live In The Now” is not about forgetting your past & ignoring the future outcomes or escaping your responsibilities. I am sure it doesn’t mean that you just enjoy the breeze, the insects, the sun rays, your pets, TV, sitting around & being lazy…. Seriously? Then how can you ever make good use of your life or time?

I think the point our Gurus & everyone is trying to make is that we should be more conscious of whatever we’re presently doing, thinking & saying, so that we can live fullest, be at our best & achieve the best out of our life.

In my opinion, Gurus are insist on living in the present moment, mainly because we live in the age of distraction & our best (happiest) version & our brightest future hinges on our ability to pay attention to the present.

Darling listen – Live in the now means when you’re working on something very important for example, you’re a surgeon carrying out an operation or you’re a soldier in war facing live gun fire or maybe you’re a fast driver on high speed or you’re a lawyer listening to the accused, you have to really be present at that moment. You have to keep your attention focused on what you’re doing because once your attention goes off even for a second, it could prove to be very costly, disastrous & fatal for you . This is because you don’t need to be thinking of the future or the past when you’re doing what you should do in the present.

Deep focus on your breaths & what you say, think & do in the now is needed. That’s what they call mindful living or living in now.

When you’re at work, you fantasize about partying in the evening; when you are partying, you worry about the pending work. Your monkey mind actually makes you good for nothing. Live in now is a practice to calm down your monkey mind & focus on what you are doing, saying or thinking. Hope you understand it correctly.

Living in the now doesn’t mean that you should never think about the future or shouldn’t consider the past before taking any decision. If you cannot see beyond the present when you need to, then how can you ever make any progress in life?

We have a lot of useful lessons from our pasts that we can apply to our present moments. We cannot scrap all those important lessons in the name of living in the now.

It’s important to anticipate possible outcomes for the future, to enable us keep working towards what we want. Or else, we will find ourselves lying around wasting our time & we won’t even take advantage of opportunities that come our way because we never anticipated them.

Living in the now philosophy is not a short cut to be happy. I repeat, it is not to make you good-for-nothing, weak or slothful. It is to make you more at this moment – more responsive, more responsible, more active, more happy, healthy & more successful 💪.

Please don’t take this or any other theory & interpret a quote just to fool yourself. You need to stay focused. You need to stay present when you need to be present, you need to think & plan for the future when you have to & you need to remember the past & apply the lessons learnt when you have to.

You shouldn’t be stuck anywhere within the past, present or future. You need to know that these are interconnected & one cannot do without the other.

Sweetheart, that’s why you need to understand that living in the now means only thing – being conscious of what you are presently doing rather than always being stuck with the past, present or future. It’s crazy.

You need to know when to live in the now (be present), when to consider the future (but never get stuck worrying about it) & when to remember lessons from the past (rather than keep regretting it).

Let you begin to Live More In Now – more active, more open with intentional attention on the present. Now (This moment) is the greatest thing that you have. Be wise, put all your energy, your enthusiasm, your passion & commitment. I hope & wish that you make full use of this moment, of what you have right here & now, whatever it may be, to bless yourself eternally.

Good luck & Best Wishes for your 2023 💐

In 2023, I want you to learn to take a seat in the front row. Except the movie theaters, don’t be afraid to sit in the front row.

Please allow me to ask this question – at this very moment, which row are YOU living your life in? I mean, in the grand joy ride of life, where would you say you currently sit? Or where would you like to sit?

Darling listen – there is no fun in being third row 🤭. I’d like to see you in the front row.

I am writing this because most of the people want to take back seats (habitually, just to avoid being seen, bcoz they don’t want to take responsibility, bcoz they won’t be able cheat in from rows or bcoz they have never done their homework etc.etc.) 🤭 …

Let you begin to take a front seat whether it is a conference, a joy ride or your life. No one gets ahead in life hiding in the back of the room. Let you start living a Front Seat Life. In short, to getting into the driving seat of your life in 2023?

People have become passengers in their own lives. Front seat living means acknowledging that you hold the keys & own the car! It means you acknowledge you are the driver on this road trip (Life). You are the one who decides to go left or right at the fork in the road. You decide when to stop & refuel. While you may not be able to control the weather but you do get to determine if you’re going to sing or sulk in the rain! That is truly living.

I want you to show up every single day & make it count.. Let you become determined to do more than exist. Don’t just put in an appearance. Be noticed. Put yourself out there & take the risk of being seen.

I wish & hope that you move up to the front row & start taking 100% responsibility for everything that you experience in your life. Let your life become all that you want it to be… Tons of Good Wishes & Blessings!

Either, 2023 will be pretty much the same as 2022 or it could be exponentially better. All depends upon you.

If you keep bumbling along, doing the same stuff you did in same old way, making the same mistakes you did, keep the same old rituals & routine, than 2023 will look exactly the same as 2022. Nothing can make it better!

To make 2023 extraordinary & to reach the goals you have missed so far, you will have to change the rituals, routine, habits, mindset & beliefs… that have not allowed you to be completely fit & successful so far.

A new year will be exactly the same old year if you don’t intend to change something about yourself 🤭.

Darling listen – Life is not about merely expecting hoping & wishing. It is about doing, being & becoming.

You can’t just hope 2023 will be a better year than 2022, you have to take control & MAKE IT BETTER 💪!

Sweetheart, The year 2023 could really be the best year of your life. To do this, you need to work on yourself. By making the necessary changes that you know (or you can learn about what changes you have to make), you will be able to act differently & do better in all areas.

Sweetheart, I am not in control of the world, however I am in control of myself… & you are in control of yourself. So even though we can’t control everything around us, we can control some things.

What does 2023 hold? I have no idea. But with these couple of changes in 2023, you will be ready for just about anything.

• Raise Your Level Of Consciousness – Undertaking personal development will not only help you but make everything better for you & your loved ones.
• Understand that it’s always an inside-out job. You can’t change the world. In fact no one. But you can change the way you pay attention to things in the world. Believe me, it will make a huge impact.
• Upgrade Your Model Of Reality – be aware of when you are pointing the finger outside of yourself. Go within & attend to that part of you that is inclined to judge outside circumstances & other people as bad.
• Control how you interact with the world around. Believe me, this will makes all the difference.
• Smile more. Complain less. Appreciate more. Thank more. Connect more. Love more. Encourage more. Understand more. Waste less. Compete less, Fix your body language & Talk slower. Dress well. Upgrade your wardrobe. Stay away from Drama & Conflicts. Walk more. Work out consistently. Drink more water. Keep your words & last but not least – Think Less & Do More.

Sweetheart, remember that in 2023 you are supposed to enable your world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope & achievement. You are supposed to enrich your world with your presence, thoughts, the words that you speak & things that you do 🙏.

Stay Happy, Healthy, Safe & Blessed 💐

Today, I wish & hope that you catch yourself saying this a lot this year – “wow, I prayed for this or I really worked hard for this”… believe me, 2022 was your preparation year & 2023 is the year it will all come to life!

I wish you to know that the only one who can keep you away from achieving what you can, your blessings & abundance is the part of yourself that does not yet want to upgrade into alignment of your highest self.

The law of attraction states that whatever you focus on, what you do, think about, read about & talk about intensely, you’re going to attract more of that into your life…

Sweetheart, like all the laws of nature, the law of attraction is immutable. No one is above it or excluded from it. It is impersonal & operates on all of us equally – on every subject & on every damn single thought, word & deed..

Darling listen – just see, what are you creating with all that you do, say or practice, knowingly or unknowingly : an atmosphere of doubt, worry, mediocrity? Or an atmosphere of praise, an atmosphere of victory.. an atmosphere of abundance?

Sweetheart, whatever you’re sending out, you’re drawing in. If you’re creating a negative atmosphere, that’s going to attract discouragement, defeat & bad breaks. But when you create an atmosphere of praise, that faith-filled atmosphere is going to draw in favor, good breaks, peace & joy. It is so obvious!

I wish & hope that you push yourself to align yourself with your highest self in order to receive the highest! Let blessings of God always remain with you throughout the year & let it remain filled with many successes & all the good things.

Good luck & Blessings 💐

Today I wish you to know that it is enough. Enough of these false resolutions & promises made to yourself every year.

Who are you kidding? Seriously, when will you stop lying to yourself? Aren’t you tired? You think, think & think. But never act.

I will change. Leave bad habits. Go to the gym everyday. Will lose weight this year. Get organized. Learn a new skill or hobby. Instead of spending time on social media, will spend more time with family & friends. Travel more. Read more. Focus only on doing things that bring success & happiness. Use every moment to create a life of my dreams. I will live life to the fullest.

All these resolutions & other promises that you make are momentary bouts of motivation. They don’t work. You know that.

Darling listen – to be more, to grow, to achieve something significant & to heal, you’ve gotta be real with yourself.

Sweetheart, if not now then when are you gonna do it? Now, now, now. Not tomorrow, no next week. Now is the time to start.

Life happens now. Everything else is just in your imagination. And you know it too.

Today is January 2, 2023. Start today. Right now. THIS MOMENT IS THE DOOR TO THE DIVINE.

Don’t wait for the future to arrive, create it. Set your intentions now & start taking bold action towards your goals.

Sweetheart, you’ll get there once you start. Trust the Universe & its whispers. Make 2023 your year to shine.

I wish & hope this new year brings you everything you desire – love, health, wealth, wisdom, peace & happiness. Tons of Blessings 💐

श्री रामाय नमः। श्री राम दूताय नम:। ॐ हं हनुमते नमः।।

Today I wish you to end this year appreciating & celebrating yourself for everything you have become & everything you have experienced. Let you make a safe & joyful entry into the new year with the people you love 🍻.

Sweetheart, if you really wish to do something meaningful today, just end this year by remembering what words, acts, behaviours, expressions & experiences added excitement, joy, cheers & light in your life or world & what brought you pain, frustration or boredom. That will be a great job ☺️!

Darling listen – as a human being, you always have the privilege of being able to do & say everything consciously. Exercising this choice carefully is the solution for all your issues & a key to your success. Learn & resolve to act & respond differently in 2023, if you really want it to be the best for you & your world.

While praying for the person that you’ll become in 2023, I simply want your life to become crowded with unexpected joys, kind people & good thoughts. Let this next calendar year bring you an extra dose of self control, love, joy, laughter, adorability, an indomitable spirit, strength, affluence, influence & success…

Let all your wildest dreams manifest in 2023. Tons of Good Wishes & Blessings 💐

I sincerely hope that 2023 bring new light, great love, wisdom & understanding into your life, to all you touch & across your beautiful world.

Darling listen – the only thing that is ultimately real about your journey in 2023 & beyond is the step that you are taking at this moment & the steps you will take everyday. That’s all there ever is ✌️.

Always remember that your consistent efforts, dedication, enthusiasm, thoughts & words coming out of your mouth have the power to part Seas, defeat sickness & open doors you never dreamed would open.

Sweetheart, let your life unfold smoothly & with ease. Let you remain connected, protected, safe & pleased. Let you always remain physically & emotionally healthy & strong 💪.

Let 2023 bring happy days for all of us! Tons of Blessings 💐

Today I wish to ask you – what you aspire to be in 2023? A better friend, a better partner, a better parent, a better spouse, a better professional, a better teammate or just a better person 🤔?

Now this brings me to another question – do you really know what does being better really mean? Or what do you do from here to become a better person in 2023?

Sweetheart, the answer is personal—being a better person for me might mean a person who is: hard working, generous, courageous, smiling & always does the right thing even when it is incredibly difficult or even when no one is watching over.

Keeping one’s words, doing what is promised & showing up in every single moment like you’re meant to be there is key to becoming a better person.

But, some people have a stigma about thinking that in order to be a better person, they must be better than everyone else. Wrong 🤭. (The only person you should try to be better than, is the person you were yesterday).

Darling listen – If you are thinking that you are not as good as you want to be or as you believe you can be, that does not have to be permanent. Everyone has phases of their life they are not proud of. Who you are at your worst is not who you have to be forever. Let me remind you this popular quote –

No matter who you are, no matter what you did, no matter where you’ve come from, you can always change, become a better version of yourself…

Let you begin to connect your words & daily small actions to your long-term desires & aspirations. Start loving what you need to do, to be what you want to be 🙏.

I hope that the “You 2023” version will be the best version of yourself so far! Stay living a thriving & fulfilling Life! Blessings 💐

I know the moment I will remind you of this old proverb, “new year – new me”, it will seem stereotypical or too common to you. But the truth is, time just before the January is a great time for people to take stock of what worked well for them over the past year & what didn’t, to consider a reset in certain areas of their lives or to determine what they want to focus on improving.

Sweetheart, whether you are in need of a total refresh or just want to maintain positive momentum, it is a perfect time to start a new practice, eliminate an unhealthy habit, adopt a fulfilling new hobby, revamp your daily routine or make any number of other life-enhancing changes. Believe me, It will all be setting yourself up for success in 2023.

Darling listen – you can go from being unattractive to extremely desirable & from being failure to extremely successful if you commit yourself to intentional work & to put all your efforts in a more relevant way in 2023.

Let me remind you this once more that these couple of days are good enough to reflect on lessons learned, your personal stories & narratives, what didn’t work out & what all you accomplished in 2022. Finally, leveraging insights from these lessons & your reflections to inspire you for 2023. This process will help you to feel complete in terms of the past year & lighter, more prepared, excited & energized for the new year.

Also look at what inspires you & what deprives you. Where possible, double down on the first & start to weed out the second. Some changes won’t happen overnight, but start the year with the right focus on maximizing your moments of inspiration. Believe me, a few hours (or even minutes) each day focused on more meaningful, effective & joyous activities can improve your happiness, well-being & success in coming year.

All this will lead you to start a never-ending successful momentum! Make 2023 be that year.

Season’s greetings, best wishes & blessings for a happy, healthy & joyous 2023!
