I have noticed that life has its way of bringing us back to the same kind of struggles every few years. Psychology says that themes repeat every seven years.
It almost appears that existence itself seems to demand completion. And in my work as a guide to so many; more than health and wealth, I notice this trend in the area of relationships.

Rishi Patanjali defines Yog as ‘Chitta Vritti Nirodhah’. Cessation (or sublimation) of the mind (and sensory diversions) is Yoga. The key to both happiness (and consequently success) lies in having lesser number of thoughts and distractions per minute.
Why is it that we are afraid of big success?
It might appear counter-intuitive to many; but the truth is that we are afraid.

In (successfully) carving my way to glory, I have understood one important point. That there is a huge gap between where we are and where we wish to be.
On a positive note, there is also a definite way to bridge that gap. It involves doing a set of important actions day after day after day. Eg. To build a stunning body, one needs to go to the gym day after day after day.
