RokZRooM Special ! You Can Win by Shiv Khera

One of the important secrets to success is, instead of being against something, be for
something. That way, you don't become part of the problem, but part of the solution. It
takes conviction to take a stand.

Conviction Takes Faith

Faith without action is delusion. Faith does not wait for miracles but produces them. If
you think you can or if you think you can't, you are right.

--Henry Ford

We all have low moments, we all fall down and get hurt. We all have moments when we
doubt ourselves and get into self-pity. The point is to overcome these feelings and
restore your faith.
There are three kinds of people in this world:

♦ People who make things happen
♦ People who watch things happen
♦ People who wonder what happened

Which category do you fall into?

8. Lack of Understanding of Nature's Laws

Success is a matter of laws and these are the laws of nature. Change is nature's law. We
are either moving forward or we are going backward. We are either creating or
disintegrating. There is no status quo.
A seed, if it is not planted in the earth to create, disintegrates. Change is inevitable. It is
going to happen whether we like it or not. All progress is change but all change is not
progress. We must evaluate change and accept it only if it makes sense. Acceptance
without evaluation amounts to conforming behavior, a sign of lack of confidence and of
low self-esteem.
There is a lot to be said about tradition. Growth for the sake of growth is the philosophy of
a cancerous cell. It is negativity spreading all over. That is not growth, that is destruction.
Growth, in order to be meaningful, must be positive.
Success is not a matter of luck, but of laws.

Law of Cause and Effect

In order to succeed, we need to understand the law of cause and effect and the
relationship between actions and results.
For every effect, there is a cause. The law of cause and effect is the same as the law of
sowing and reaping. The law of sowing and reaping says five things:

♦ We must have the desire to sow. Desire is the starting point.
♦ What we sow, so shall we reap. If we sow potatoes, we are only going to reap
potatoes, not tomatoes.
