Do This In The Moments Where You Feel Lost

Here is the complete transcript of the podcast

Welcome back, happy Sunday morning to you. Today’s podcast episode is for you. If you woke up this morning, feeling lost. Like, you got up, you have this feeling, I don’t know what I’m doing. I don’t know where all this is going, we’ll ever get there will everything that I’m doing right now is going to add up. I feel lost. If you are feeling lost in the moment. And you have gotten to this funk state, you don’t know how to recover yourself. Then listen to today’s podcast. This is for you.

Now, if you’re not going through this, congratulations to you. You are amazing. Because if you’re normal, you go through that state at some point in time, if not today, someday, all of us go through this. I go through this. I wake up in the morning, sometimes I’m saying what am I doing today? has you know I woke up several times I woke up, and I want to record the podcast? And somehow, even though I slept the night before with some great ideas, I woke up in the morning forgotten, I did not write it down, it was a late thought I was already in bed. And I wake up in the morning I’m like totally lost, totally gone. And you can’t believe it when I don’t get my thoughts in place. And I cannot connect the dots in my mind. I’m like so angry, agitated, and frustrated. And sometimes if I go into the speaker’s block, I do not know what to say. And I’m like, God, please rescue me from this. I’ve been there, God, please rescue me from this, I tell you see, there is a fundamental requirement for a happy life. And that is you got to have faith in the higher power is something they’re about to tell you. Nobody has figured it out. Nobody can figure this out with the conscious mind, none of us can figure this out. People seem to know. And people sell that they know. But nobody knows. Nobody knows life. There are some that are visible, that is actionable. There are some that are invisible. Nobody knows. When you do not know something, the only way to deal with it is to have faith. That’s all. And along those lines, the most important thing why you feel this way is because this morning last night, or over a period of time you dropped confidence in yourself or the work that you’re doing. Somewhere confidence has been compromised your job is to bring back the confidence. And how do you bring back your confidence? People struggled for years and years and years decades. Unable to get the confidence to have the skill, they have the know-how they have the experience to have everything going for them. For some reason, their lack of confidence, they can’t bring it to the table.

Nothing ever happens without confidence. Two things you need in life to succeed. One confidence to enthusiasm. Of course, in between, you need some work ethic. But given you have the work ethic, given all that, you really need confidence, and enthusiasm. But enthusiasm comes a little later. But you need to get the confidence. You need to feel good about yourself. So it all starts with a fatal heart power. A little bit of a routine to get back at confidence. Then you need to look into it and say okay, I’m doing all this what is my purpose? I’ve done all this morning. You’re not feeling to do. You don’t have a feeling to do anything. And you’re questioning everything. But that was not the case, to begin with. You started from somewhere, and you did everything that you did. What was the purpose? Then? Listen, I was talking to somebody and I said why did you Why didn’t even get your visa to come to America? There was some purpose?

Well, I never thought like that. But now you can back then no. You knew why we were coming. You were coming for opportunities you were coming because there was some promise and you need your forget that. So along the way, you did not believe in that statement that you made to yourself. You sold everybody around you. I sold it to my parents to my friends and to everybody that America has the possibility, the promise I did. So did you if you are here or any country for that matter, let’s say you stayed in your native country wherever you are born and raised you sold that everything is you. So, you had that purpose in mind, but you somehow may not have thought it as if it is a purpose but there was some articulation and, and when you go back to that like you start believing in the higher power you start to bring some sense of confidence into you, and you somehow go back in time and realign yourself with purpose, you should be able to come out of your funk state or the state of I’m lost to okay, I’m, after all, not lost. So you go from last to, after all, I’m not, I’m not lost. So one thing we say this and multiple times, not me, many people have said this, you’ve got to clear your mind, of all the resentment, all the fears, and the anxieties. So when somebody is lost, you see these three things playing out there is some level of resentment, they’re doing something that they don’t believe in, then there is some degree of fear somewhere, maybe. And there is some level of unknown that they’re dealing with causing them anxiety.

See, when you bring confidence in when you bring faith higher power into the discussion. And when you align yourself to purpose, see, these three things go away, fear goes away, resentment goes away. anxiety goes away. Interesting sometimes. And that’s exactly what a good coach does, by the way, a good coach doesn’t give you the solution. Because they don’t know, I don’t know who you are and what you do. In fact, I said this, and a lot of people call me also on my radio show. Even if you’re married for 2030 years, you’re living under the same roof sleeping on the same bed, you don’t know your spouse, your children, you probably knew them. But once they started having their own mind, you don’t know them. Nobody knows you the way you know yourself. So if you can’t visualize the outcomes, then it’s very difficult for the body to move. A simple example, you’re driving on a freeway, just don’t look to the front, look to the side, give it maybe a minute or two, your car is going to move, wherever your eyes are going. That’s how the body works. The body will move in the line of your vision. Vision in this example, is just you’re looking at something. But the vision in the realm of self-improvement is how you are mentally creating that image for yourself. How you are projecting what you want for yourself? So if you cannot visualize yourself in a wholesome way, with every part of you, working towards creating that outcome, like your ideas, your thoughts, your blood, your muscles, your veins, your arteries, your thoughts, your beliefs, your desires, your ambitions, and everything, everything about you individually as parts collectively working towards the same outcome. And it cannot visualize them, they cannot collectively work towards the outcome. So the only way to bring everything together to work for you is you you’re mentally creating that image, you cannot mentally create that image unless you feel confident about yourself. This is why these routines come in.

Now back in the day, 500,000 years ago, they were not able to put these things together this way. And the only the fastest way to really bring somebody into their higher performing state is to say, hey, go to this place of worship and worship there. Or wherever you are worship there. And that was the only way to bring people back into their higher in the best-performing state so that they don’t feel lost. So here’s what I want you to do today. Okay, I want you to take a moment as you’re listening to this podcast, and today is a Sunday. So you should have maybe a minute or two with you just take five minutes. Think about the higher power for a second for a minute. And then think about your past when you were very confident. And think about the purpose you had in mind before you started doing everything. And bring that into your current state.

So close your eyes, think about her power. Think about the state when you were confident and think about the purpose you had in mind before starting everything that you have today. And bring it back to your mind. And to that for three, four minutes. Open your eyes, wherever you are. Stay calm and open your eyes. Suddenly now you are not lost anymore. Do I do this? I promise you it works. It works magic. Give it a try. You’ll thank me. This is nothing but Moses, by the way, a small element with Moses. Okay, that’s all for now. Have a wonderful Sunday. I’ll catch up with you tomorrow. New week, New Day Monday. Stay tuned.

Struggle Will Exist, Level Will Be Different

Here is the complete transcript of the podcast

Welcome back to success with Srini. Happy Saturday morning to you. I want you to listen to yesterday’s podcast before you listen to today’s podcast. Now, if you are a regular subscriber to this podcast, there are chances that you already listened to yesterday’s podcast. And if you’re here for the very first time, have no idea who I am or what I do, maybe you heard me on the radio, maybe you got an email from me. And maybe somehow you stumbled here, then please listen to yesterday’s podcast before you listen to today’s now the way the podcasting apps work is they will play the default podcast, the recent podcast first. And then they go to the next podcast, which is, in this case, yesterday Swan, which is okay, that’s fine. But I want you to listen to yesterday’s podcast also. Listen, it doesn’t matter who you are, what you do, what your situation is, what your circumstances are.

There are two truths in life. One is somebody else is getting there or getting there. without much effort like yours. That’s the truth. That means I can get there easily and faster than you whatever the goal you have for yourself and you are struggling with it.

The other truth is that I despite my best efforts, will never ever get there. And because I have more challenges, more struggles more suffering, than you with some struggle, some pain, we’ll get there, eventually, we’ll get there. Both these extremes exist. Somehow, we never see what’s happening behind us. Because we are focused only see what is happening ahead of us. And there are so many different codes and philosophies on this. This one incredible thing many, many years ago, as a kid, I heard this, or don’t complain, the guy in front of you has shoes or better shoes than yours. Because the guy behind you has no legs or something like that. If you take that in context, there is truth to it. So these are the two extremes. And somehow we never see what’s happening, you know, behind us. And that’s how I think that the design is our human structure, the way we are designed is to always see what’s happening ahead of us, we rarely move behind and look. But when you move your head behind, and you do see people behind you who are having trouble, you are having challenges, then you will pause, it’s very difficult to look behind and walk forward very hard.

So you look behind, then you pause, you’ll see some suffering, then you are now you stop your momentum, you are now not moving forward. And then you go back and try to help them let’s say you have the heart to help others, then you will help try to help them. And when you do, even though you may not reach your destination, but then there is a level of happiness that you may not get even after reaching the destination. By the way. I know people who finish marathons and still are not happy. Now I have a friend of mine who has been running marathons forever and keeps running. And you know he’s unhappy after each marathon. Oh, I wish I could have done this five minutes. You know, my last marathon was five minutes better than this today’s and I feel sad. I couldn’t beat my yesterday, Stein last times, last marathon time, whatever. And I’m like standing there and thinking I never run a full marathon in my life. You just ran a marathon, you’re running one marathon a week. Man, I wish I could become like you. And he’s thinking that he can’t run a Boston Marathon because he’s not able to improve his time. We’re how this thing is. But here’s the interesting part, no matter who is in front of me, and no matter who is behind me, including me.

We all have struggles. This is the truth, you have a struggle. No matter how much you have no matter how much you say. And you may overlook the struggle, you may compromise with your struggle. You may take your struggle into you and you may somehow sit with your struggle and consider your struggle to be a co-partner in your existence, which I suggest that you do. Just because you have framed it differently in your mind doesn’t mean that there is no struggle it has gone away. It is their question is what can be done to fight. First of all, when there is a struggle, it does flare up. It can really show up at a time when you’re not prepared to deal with it. It’s like somebody said you know you have a lion or a tiger that you raise and then hoping that it’s living with you. Just because it’s living with you. It’s going to be How to behave like a human. No nature is nature, a struggle by default has its own nature, it is there to create trouble for you. The question is how do you overcome or build power or build strength to deal with a struggle, which by the way, is going to exist? The level is different.

So, if you don’t have money today, the struggle is for money, you will make money because you’re focused on it just a matter of time before you make the money. And then once you have the money, then you have the next level of struggle, which is the taxes and how do I multiply it? How do I invest? How do I grow this, then let’s say you don’t have peace today, in your life, you have money, but you don’t have peace. So you want to eliminate everything you want to seclude yourself, you want to go into a cave and live there. Yes. And once you are there, now, then then the discussion then another level of struggle starts well, you just you know, I don’t think I can live in a cave like this. And I’m a human I need to be with people in society. So, there is going to be a struggle. So, the question is, how do you deal with this? The first and foremost part is there is going to struggle anyway, the level may change, but there is so as long as there is life there is a struggle, this is the truth. Question is, we should not deplete while dealing with struggle, we cannot feel inadequate, we should not feel weak, and we should not feel unequipped to deal with struggle. That’s the discussion here. So what are things that you can do, to fight to put up a good fight, a fight in which you win each time? But remember, you already made a struggle, your friend, so it’s there with you? Most of the time, it’s calm, it’s quiet, but every time it flares up, you need to step up. What can you do? When do I say flaring up? Let me explain. When a struggle flares up, it could flare up because somebody says something, something to you, and you might become angry. And everything comes in front of your eyes. Oh, and I’ve gone through a lot in my life. And why is this happening to me who is saying this to me? Anger, frustration. Rage sometimes comes from outside sometimes could be inside, maybe you’re sitting in your house and alone and some ideas, some thought crosses your mind. And suddenly you are now fighting with your past fighting with the future or fighting with the present suddenly, from nowhere. That’s the struggle.

She is there inside, it flares up? So yeah, you can suppress those emotions and all but mostly you cannot. You can repress those emotions, you cannot they usually come out anyway. So what can you do? Many, many years ago, as a part of my own self-improvement journey, I came across five simple things that I have noted, I’ve written notes on this. I’ve shared this also multiple times on this podcast. But I want to take an excuse today and share this one more time with you. The most important part is that you’ve got to keep your head cool. When you keep your head cold, that means you have mental equivalency. So keeping your head cool is mental. You got to keep your heart warm. If you’re that that’s the heart. It’s breathing. Actually, it beats like this. That’s how it beats. You gotta keep it warm. You know, and one of the most effective ways to make your hot warm is that you step into the shoes of other people. Can I step in every time I run this podcast, or I’m in a consultation, I’m stepping into somebody’s life, a lot of people can do what I do. I’m telling you, somebody asked me this question. You know, you’re on the radio and this and that. I said yes. Not on radio, because I want to be not because I’m doing this podcast because I want to be I can live a comfortable life without doing radio without doing podcasts or any of these things. The reason why somebody chooses to be doing this like this. And somebody choosing not to do this is because very rarely do people want to share their life with others. Very rarely. See, your boss can take the salary and walk away. But your boss chooses to mentor you and coach you. When they do that. That means they’re sharing a part of them with you. Very rarely do you see that.

As parents, we do that. Our children and our siblings will do that. But outside is doing very rare. So a lot of coaches who coach or speakers who speak and all that, but then very rarely people really share that life. So every time a coach or mentor steps in or you see they have somebody doing things like me, they have a desire, of course, business money, all these things do play a role and all that but there has to be an underlying intent to share. You got to Keep your heart warm in every situation, that’s when you have emotional stability. You got to keep rewards kind. If you keep rewards kind, you attend spirituality, somebody asked me Srini, I was in a discussion about religions and spirituality. And I said, there is nobody who is a, you know, higher caste and lower caste, I have a very simple formula for distinguishing between higher cash and lower caste, I just don’t actually have any way to distinguish I think all are equal, you’re all the same. The difference between upper caste and lower caste is the way you use your words, you’re using words incorrectly, then that means you are positioning on the lower side of the spectrum, the human spectrum. You want to be on the higher side, but the human spectrum uses the right words. To the right words, what’s the need for four-letter words everywhere you drop? No need for that. So, be careful how you use your words because that defines your spirituality.

Right? How do you keep your body pure? What do you put in? What do you listen to? What do you eat all that thing? So you want to keep your body pure, then that means your physical. And if you keep your actions controlled, then that is material. That’s it. So these are the five things that you take control of. And suddenly you are on top of your struggle. Struggles won’t bother you anymore. Simple mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical material. And this whole game is this. There isn’t anything else to live other than these five. This is it. Some people have some natural ability to achieve a certain level of proficiency and excellence in one or two areas. Where then imagine you getting all areas figured out. Then see what happens to your life. Brilliant. And that’s how you win over struggle. Okay, I’m going to stop here. This has gone very long. Have a wonderful Saturday. And I will connect with you as early as tomorrow morning.

Right here on success with Srini. Thank you all for your questions. Thank you for your trust, appreciate you subscribing, listening, participating, and keeping me and my team on our toes. I really appreciate it. Thank you. And again, as I said, I’ll be back with you tomorrow morning right here. Bye now.

Why Waiting to Succeed is a Terrible Idea?

Here is the complete transcript of the podcast

Happy Friday morning to you. Hello podcast, how are you doing? Welcome back to success with Srini I have a rant on my mind, something on my mind is going to turn into a rant in the second year. But in the last few days, I’ve been talking to a lot of people. And people have been telling me about their challenges, the situations that they’re going through. For some reason, certainly, there’s a lot of traffic on the road, and a lot of people are listening to the radio. And I’m getting a lot of text messages, which I’m very, very thankful about appreciative. But it’s interesting because I do a radio show I do this podcast, I want to influence people to become good, really good in what they do.

There is nothing here that suggests or I don’t suggest anything to anyone. I just say that you do what you do, but you become the best in whatever you’re doing. Interestingly, when I get on calls and text messages with people that try to change my belief, see my beliefs and my convictions are, according to me time tested. And I say that very humbly, because I have personally gone through everything, anything that I talk here, I do not talk things that I do not experience. I just don’t say things because somebody else is talking about everything, anything on this podcast that ever I have talked about is something that I have personally gone through and experienced. And others do, I don’t. And I’ll tell you this every time, let’s say an attempt to talk about a topic that I do not know, I’ll tell you, and when I replay it, before I publish, then I see that there is no depth to it, when there is no depth to it, you on the other side, as a listener will figure this out. I can’t lie, I can’t just, you know, fake it can’t be done that way. It’s interesting how people want to shift my beliefs. And this is where I have, I’m surprised.

See, I come and I say do something that will change everything. And anytime anybody’s listening to this podcast or to my radio show, I’m thinking that they want to do something to change everything. And that is why I come here and say do something so that you can change everything. I believe that if you just do one thing, it will change everything. I think that if you take care of your health, your finances will improve your relationships will improve your spiritual side will improve, I think, I think if you take care of your spirituality, everything will improve. I think if you take care of your money, everything will improve. I think everything is connected to one thing. And no matter what we do here, everything is connected to the unconscious mind. The unconscious Mind is the key to everything. And that is the pathway to spirituality that is the part with heaven. That’s the pathway to the superconscious. Anything, everything that you want to ever achieve, and you want to achieve seamlessly is done through the unconscious mind. And that is why I’m such a big proponent of hypnosis. And everything that I talk about here, I use hypnosis as the most potent mechanism to turn around people and create results. And I hold that personally in my life, I use that extensively. If somebody looks into my life really with a lens, then they will see how much I use this. But somehow people have some weird, you know, affiliation, to time. And what I mean by Weird affiliation, is they just want to do things slowly. And for some reason, over a long period of time, if I put my money in this investment, I’m gonna get 6% over the next 20 years. If I just work for two more years in this job, then I’ll get a promotion. If I stay in this house for five more years, then I’ll have enough money to down for the down payment for a bigger house.

None of these things are true. You got to do something, you got to do something now in this moment. And lets for a second assume that yes, whatever you’re saying is true. Then, once you attain that level, very few attain that level or that level of success with that kind of mindset anyway, but lets for a second assume that you do get to that level, then what? The same struggle you carry with you. And I’ve said this here multiple times, every time you replicate success, there is an invisible failure with every success that also gets replicated. So you’re lazy right now and somehow you become successful the chances are once you become successful, you’ll be lazy anyway.

You don’t have money somehow you make money you get there, and then you for someone Reason You will lose it, you got to, once you’re there, you’re going to be equally poor. And that is why people who never had money did not know how to deal with money. They somehow make some money through inheritance or through a lottery. And they, they feel that they achieved something, I promise you, you’re gonna lose it. study all the people who won a lottery. And you’ll see how many bankruptcies have followed after winning the lottery. I will tell you everything that I ever got. And I lost, I lost, I can talk about my losses. Every time I lost something because I did not deserve every time I gained something because I was doing something right in the beginning. That’s why I gained, but I could not retain because I was not deserving enough. I talked to people, I tell them, You got to make some changes in your life, you got to eat right? You got to sleep, right? You got to work hard, you got to make money, you got to stay focused, you got to stay aligned. I tell people this. I don’t think this is the right time. If this is not the right time, when is the right time for anything that you’re trying to do? If this is not the right time, when is the right time? How can you decide what is the right time? I asked that question. And then I say people tell me Oh, I have a family issues.

Everybody has a family, you tell me you have a family, I have a family, all of us, we all have families, we all have our own challenging situations, but that should not stop us from becoming who we should become otherwise because this is the same family. This your very family is going to come back and haunt you. Because they have invested into you, invisibly or visible knowingly, unknowingly, consciously or unconsciously, they have something they may or may not have given you money, but they are investing something in their emotions, it’s a family, that emotions are their investment into you. Now you with your deeds, mis deeds, whatever, you do not live up to their expectations. If you don’t bring those emotions to completion, then what happens to you, now you’re lost out. So the family is not an excuse, okay, then I get this, I get this, oh, I don’t have the support of the spouse. I don’t have my spousal support, if she was in a job, I would have bought a house. totally untrue. Now I can show you a number of people who without a support the spouse have gotten not only one or two or three or five houses. And yeah, it becomes easy when your wife is working. You know, sometimes you hit a dip and your wife will help you, you hit a dip your husband will help you. It’s great. But it’s odd when somebody absolutely makes that a condition for success. It’s okay to have that condition. But you mentally making that that your spouse is not lacking their support or lack of their participation, or lack of their own personal success is the cause for your failure means that you have misunderstood or you have never understood the dynamic.

So, spouses, individually, have to succeed before. Collectively you succeed. You individually have to succeed before collectively you succeed. So just because you are not succeeding doesn’t mean that that’s happening because somebody else is not succeeding. It’s Your Game. your values, your beliefs, your understandings, your observations, your experiences, your applicability, your thoughts, your intentions, your desires, your goals, if you don’t look into that, how would you win this game? See, sometimes an incredible collective success happens when one spouse gets activated because the other spouse is outperforming they want to catch up. But if you become depressed because the other is not performing, then collectively both will fail. So I don’t know understand why people wait for spousal support to succeed even though the things become easier when the sub support is there but lack of support doesn’t mean that there is a lack of intent from their side. I hope you can see that through. Go back and listen to the sport for a second for me if you have a moment replay this podcast episode, then I hear money is evil. Money is evil. Okay, that debate has been played and overplayed for centuries. If you think money is evil, miss a payment on your car on your house. And let me see how many people are gonna hound you. They’ll hunt you down. I promise you. You’re not gonna escape the system. You think money is evil. Don’t pay your taxes. Okay, then let’s see what happens. You have to there’s no escape. Well, money is not evil.

The usage of money couldn’t be evil, like the way you use the money. If your money rageous your ego, money makes you a very difficult individual, all these things, then it’s evil. But it’s the use of the money. It’s not money itself. It has been misinterpreted and misrepresented over the centuries. Money is not evil. Money is a struggle, a resource. Water is the source. Air is a resource. So is money. It’s a resource. What do you do with it? Up to you. So every time somebody says I don’t want to quintillion people want to give up, I don’t want money. I’m giving up I’m retiring. I’m leaving. You’re alive. Breathing, let me tell you money is not important. But it is up there with oxygen. First is oxygen. The second is money. Take it to heart, I’m telling you. So please do not have a reversed understanding of money. Money is necessary. It’s important. It defines lifestyle it defines and you have access to money, go donate it, give it away, or share it with somebody else, which is important that you understand wealth. And as I said in an earlier podcast, today, average work doesn’t create wealth. exceptional work creates wealth. Then I hear people who tell me that, oh, I’m going to do this or the next 10 years, I’m going to wait for work in this job for five years, then I’ll get a promotion two years, then you’ll get a promotion. I have no understanding of why somebody wants to get rich, slowly.

No understand why don’t you have a sense of urgency. I will tell you how much sense of urgency I have for this podcast. It’s crazy. It’s crazy. I mean, you know, imagine me waking up every day and every day doing this podcast. And I’m very contextual. This is a contextual podcast. This is not something that had been cut and pasted through some recordings of mine. I say Happy Friday to you Happy August 26. To you. I mean, think about this, this is tremendous amount of urgency I have recording a podcast like this making it available editing, whatever we do an intro and outro whatever we put. This is a small little example of the sense of urgency somehow I cannot sleep if I don’t, you know, with a very, you know, if I’m recording a podcast early in the morning, I need to have the thought exactly what I’m going to say the night before. If not, I cannot sleep. I’m not saying that the exact thing I’m going to say the next day. But at least I have some clarity at least I need to go to deep sleep. And if not, I wake up in the morning, four o’clock, you know worried which I do every day. For 430 I wake up I’m like worried and thrown wake up worried. You don’t wake up? Like turn, the microphone on and you talk to something you have to say no, no, no, no. Doesn’t work that way. Doesn’t you get to be constantly dialed in, at least I am Listen, if you’re not dialed into what you’re doing, this is a lost game. You’re going to live and work an unhappy life and you will end up in total misery. Maybe you have a lot of you’ll end up making a lot of money because you’re in the right profession making. You know the profession inherently makes you money. That’s all good. But some deep sense of unhappiness will continue not worth it, not worth it.

So the purpose is this. The reason why I’m setting this route, this rant, and the way I’m speaking today, I want you to understand, I want you to ask a question. If not now, then when? If not now, then when? When will you wake up? Does every day go by? It’s not coming back. I’m telling you. Okay, so you have a paycheck to paycheck situation. You are less on money and more on days in a month. And you’re having some identity issues like what happened to me how come I have landed here? I was a good kid. I’ve worked very hard. I got a job. I got the degree I got the experience. I don’t know what choices I made. Listen, you can undo everything. But you got to do something about it. What you do is up to you, but I’m telling you got to do something and you cannot do everything. I’ve seen people do that all the time. And I’m one of those people. There are many people like me who keep saying this. But for sure. I’m saying this. You could change everything by just wanting.

That’s all for now. You are off to a great Friday. Enjoy your weekend. And I’ll see you back here again tomorrow. My idea was to motivate you and inspire you today. And hopefully, I’ve done that. And I’ll catch up with you. Mariana. Stay tuned.
