So what if I'm an ASS?

I spent yesterday morning giving a career talk to the students of my old boarding school, KTJ. I was asked to focus on talking about technical career stuff but in true 'Navin Style' the talk ended up being a wannabe motivational talk with me sweating like a pig at the end of it. There's something I said in that talk that I wanted to share with you guys today...

As I spoke to the 50 odd students about what they needed to do to start a business of their own I myself came to realize something that has made a huge difference in my life. That something is the fact that - I've always been mighty proud of my goals. While most people hid their goals from the people around them, I've always shouted mine out loud,  knowing that I could very well make a fool of myself if I didn't achieve it.

For instance 4 years ago I decided that I was going to write a book. I told everyone I knew about my big dreams to become an author and I was very well aware that if I didn't write that book - I would look like a complete ass for dreaming so big. True enough it's been 4 years and I'm without a book. 

But the truth is - I don't care! I don't care if people think I'm the wannabe author / personal development guy who couldn't even write his own book! It's still my goal and I'll still shout it out to anyone who will hear me.

I know that no matter what anyone else has to say - WE have to believe in our goals! We need to be proud of our goals. There must be no doubt at all that we'll achieve our goals because when we have BELIEVE that strong - the thoughts we release into the Universe will definitely be positive thoughts that will in turn attract positive results!

Besides, what do we care what other people think of us? The only way to be different is to BE DIFFERENT! Normal people fear shouting out their goals and curb themselves from fully believing in their goals because they FEAR what others might think of them. The people who are DIFFERENT couldn't care less what others think of them. 

There are some who say - "I don't care what others think of me BUT why do I have to tell everyone about my goal? It's so egoistic for god's sake". My answer is simple. When you shout out your goal and tell everyone about it - you allow people to help you achieve your goal. By sharing your goal with others you cast a bigger net to catch onto opportunities that others might be able to offer to help you achieve your goal!

Doubting your goal is you doubting yourselve. It's you putting negative energy out into the universe. Hiding your goal may be and very often is - a sign of self doubt!

I suppose in the end you really have to ask yourselve... Would you rather be the few that dared to dream or would you rather be part of the mass of people that were too chicken to?

I EMPOWER MILLIONS OF PEOPLE! -that's for all the world to know and for me to risk looking like an ass- :)
