Some might well ask, does meditation really help in achieving their goals? The answer may well be yes and is cent percent a perfect method to aim your targets. The main function what matters here is concentration; if you concentrate well on your task then nothing ever can stop you from achieving your objectives in life. As is known and well said by Brandon that meditation is the best method one can put as a ritual in their daily lives to kick start a day and is a healthy morning routine which rejuvenates your body, mind and soul. Today we are going to talk about Jeff Belyea, he is a writer, artist and also the developer in Arts of Living course, he takes several types of seminars and hold a PhD in Communications, he has a certificate in hypnotherapy and is professional business and personal coach too.
For today’s discussion, Jeff is going to share some of his thoughts regarding meditation as a tool to achieve your goals. Take an example of a company where the senior management has come together in one board meeting, and vital decisions are to be taken regarding company’s stakes and other important things, the decisions taken in this meeting is going to entirely change the company’s image outside. So as the board member or chairperson opens up the discussion of agendas of the meeting, after a while there is a buzz in the room and everybody is engrossed in their own discussions, the chairperson makes a big loud announcement of paying attention but after a while again people are chattering in their own discussions, again the same thing happens, so this way it gets repeated again and again. You could well imagine, what is would be like sitting in silent room without uttering a word for nearly 2 to 3 hours, it sounds impossible, but such things need to be paid attention as important discussions are being made in board and that is going to give way to company’s output, unless people paid attention to it nothing would come as a output of the meeting, so it was nearly necessary to pay attention to what chairperson says.
Even if the person would not be chattering in the board meeting externally would it be possible to let go off the internal chatter which is going on in each person’s mind, lets take the case of VP of marketing who is continuously worried about his son who dropped out of college to pursue his true love for potteries, he is not able to concentrate on what the chairmen is saying, the general manager in charge of the whole team has his whole attention on young merchandiser who is continuously flirting with him, while this is all going on in everyone’s mind at the moment, the chairperson full of enthusiasm is rehearsing about his upcoming meetings with other companies and bankers.
When the time is here when all the great minds of the company needs to focus on, all individuals are focused on their own personal goals, may be this could well be the reason why we see people saying that we use only small percentage of our brains. Actually, when we are sitting in the board room or attending some funeral we are not in the present we think of something else mostly of the things we are worried about, why don’t we let go off the things behind what worries us, why don’t we look for the things of tomorrow and concentrate. We keep anticipating the future, but never take major steps to overcome them, each step in the right direction is a new awakening to excel in the field you are most expert in.
When the things like lack of concentration, or lack of motivation arise, the best way to opt for is through meditation, it is one of the finest methods known till now which will quiet your mind of all the worries you ever had in your life, it helps you to relax and rejuvenates you from daily hectic life. Mediation is essential for stress management, it has many advantages like it enhances your focusing capabilities, it does it clarity of mind and thought, it also helps to improve upon your listening skills. There are so many thing which we can learn through meditation, it is a conscious process which helps to build up mind’s capabilities as the time passes. It is through practicing meditation that you can clear your mind of all your internal chatters which are worrying you.
There are lots of organizations who held such meditation camps which helps their employees to come out of their stress filled life, the visionaries of big companies often think of the methods which are out of mind, they use a different source which will affect their employees more than any normal methods, they attend to intuitive needs, which is meditation. There are corporate planners who attend to meditation for opening up new vistas in life for their employees. Its not necessary for you to wear your saffron robe to be a master in meditation, just simple thoughts and thinking will help you achieve your goals in life, you can be a corporate executive and still adorn the hat of a yogi, meditation will bring a subtle yet clear change in your life, your thinking, the way you think of your spouse and almost anything around you. This is one powerful means which helps to improve and enhance an individual’s achievements in life and also their corporate life. You can sign up for any meditation camps, its not which company you are working for, or who is your leader in meditation camp, its you and your thinking that matters the most, so join today and make a difference to your life.
You can post your comments about the written words, and also let other people know about different meditation workshops or camps which are being held at different places.

We have all been born with an innate ability to do something on in our lives; we have been gifted at least with one quality that we ourselves might not know that will yield us good recognition in life may be earlier or later stages of life. We are here to do something, make a living difference to ourselves and those around us. We are here to make a mark and do remarkable things in life and lead accordingly, no one likes to stay idle all day long everybody wants to involve themselves in some or the other activities, sitting idle and waiting for things to happen is obviously not you, I know that for sure otherwise you would not have been reading my article.
Everybody is seeking a change in life, why are we striving so hard in our lives that we want to break free and overcome all the challenges of life, when you want to change the world we need to change ourselves first doing innovative, productive things that will bring a change that everybody of want. For changing just one habit in life there are so many things to look after, we have to change our perspective towards it that will bring about slow and steady change in our lives. You cannot change everything just at one go, you have to become another person if you want to get things done.
If you ever had this chance of watching the movie fight club, well, well, I am not going speak out the twist in the tale, but watch it once and you would know well who Tyler Durden is, the story is not meant for everyone its not the fight story if you are thinking that then you have got it wrong for sure. Watching fight club will give you a good lesson in life, its all about living your life the way you want to and how to achieve the things in life you had always dreamt of. The story of flight club gets you to the path of glory and enlightenment and teaches you the hard path of life which seems like next to impossible; you can achieve everything in life provided you want to and work hard upon it. There are so many lessons you need to learn from Tyler’s story, its all about innovative action that you can directly apply to your life, given below are some of the creative rules stated by Tyler to live life to the fullest.
- Tyler’s first rule relates to Innovation – innovate is the key if you want to achieve something in life, there should be no fear and no distractions, once if you distract from your goals then you loose the game completely. This is a struggle some lesson for the people but most of the time we see people moving away from it. The 80/20 productivity rule of Tim Ferriss helps to focus yourself on the task you are already putting your efforts in, the rule focuses 20% on the actions and 80% on the returns that you get, most of the times people have felt the theory to be good enough but not practical.Running a business can be a hell lot of trouble especially when it involves taking huge risks, when you take risks, you evolve and become more confident of taking decisions. Running my business for all these years have clearly made me understood of the fact that entrepreneurial skills don’t come easy you have to gradually catch up on things and learn the tactics of the game. When you are applying 80/20 productivity rule to your business, it requires radical elimination that is let go off the time which are not into creative thinking. Letting go off unnecessary things from proper creative thinking will lead to innovative actions and you will get successful results.
- Tyler’s 2nd innovation rule again some where or the other states the same functions of not having fear while performing the task you really want to perform and get results and there should be no distractions while doing the tasks, concentration is the main key. Don’t break the first 2 rules stated by Tyler
- Tyler’s 3rd rule pertaining to innovation states to evolve your self and complete the task beforehand. You have to face the facts of life, today or tomorrow you have to come up with solutions, don’t ever get distracted from the things you want to achieve in life. Sometimes while getting in the task to solve our mundane problems it so happens that we often face the fear of getting the failure, or the fear of ridicule, the risk factor or mediocrity and sometimes even facing the success.If you are evolving out of your mistakes it is but natural that you are going to face mistakes then comes a stage in life where you stop mistakes and meet success once. You should be making as much mistakes as possible at the very start so you can gradually correct your mistakes while reaching the end. Once you make a mistake you become aware where you might fail and so lets the chips fall away where they should and let success embrace you
- The 4th Tyler’s rule of innovation is quite interesting and states that once you have lost everything in a business game, somewhere in your heart you set free because now you don’t have that anxiety and fear of being successful you have already faced failure and now you are totally free to do whatever you wish to. But that doesn’t mean that you should be waiting for failure to happen and taking up big mistakes, while in a process of making adjustments to meet success you need not worry that everything will work as per the plans, if everything is going as per the plan that you have set for your success it is obvious that somewhere or the other you are missing something and that you are not doing that remarkable a job.Life’s problems are never ending; life keeps on going till the time you are making other plans of life and innovation happens to you when you are at your ultimate best in the creativity. As the time passes on you will come to know where to make changes and if whether you need to change your entire plan. No one is successful at just first go sometimes you might get success in just first go but not all are as lucky as you it could be possible that your initial plan fails but other plans are a great success.
- The 5th rule applies that you are not what your job is or the car which you drive or you are neither the amount of money you have in your bank. When we are talking about anxiety that grips us, the fear, the pain of failure what all things does really matter to you, do people judge you by the things you own or the task that we accomplish in life? Its not that you need to give away all that you have but don’t own the stuff to that much extent that one point comes where you cannot even live life the way you want.
- The 6th rule of Tyler states that people see or perceive themselves as they want to see, or they are comfortable thinking of themselves to be. You talk to your inner self on daily basis whether directly or indirectly, you have to accept your true self without any compromises. Live naturally and behave naturally as you want to be and do the things you like to do, run with the flow and don’t get diverted from it when you are doing what you like there are more chances of increase in productivity.
- The 7th rule applies that when you delve upon some task that doesn’t necessarily make you a professional in it meaning that you don’t become a chicken just sticking feathers up your butt. You just can’t become creative by being just that kind. You reach upon a stage of innovating new things with sheer hard work, no one can reach success without facing failures, as you get into the grove of achieving your task you come up with different ideas and your thinking process leads you to solving your problems, you need to take action if you are looking for results.
- Tyler’s last rule applies that nothing is forever, life is not endless you should know that one day you are surely going to die each passing minute you are reducing from your life. Life is priceless you should know that unless you understand that if you wont take up things in a real urgent way, life will just pass by so get going and live every minute of your life. You might think you have lots of time in life to live by and go on slow pace but then you might not even know when the time has all gone.
Get to a new beginning and get started with your work what urgently needs to be done and stop worrying about its consequences.

Writing on blogs can ever be so daunting task, but you go on stressing yourself deeper into it to get that final paycheck at the end of the month but how many of us really enjoy what we are doing? Let’s make our task more interesting without ever sacrificing on other commitments of life like socializing, parties, parenthood, etc.
There are so many variables which needs to be kept in mind before you sit writing on blogging items, you have to get straight to the point attracting interests of your readers till the end of the articles, although the work of writing might seem to be monotonous you can still spice it up with your creativity and talent. Firstly, you need to stop sleeping while writing, concentration is the key, secondly giving up on family and friends for some time, dedicating a few hours completely at work helps, thirdly you can write faster and learn new things too.
The main key in blogging is to hold the interests of your readers till the end, but how we achieve that target? Writing under deadlines can even be a very challenging task I remember the times when I used to have very little time writing big articles for websites and sometimes for newspaper ads, there are varied other blogging site where I pass on my articles weekly.
Writing every weeks get me in average of 5,000 to 10,000 words per week, it still not that much of a boring task like it seems although you can make it more interesting each passing day. You can have loads of time at your hands even by writing 100s of articles per week, given below are some few simple steps you can follow to write faster and even:
- You need to know what you are going to write, keeping thinking of the items you can to state in your next blog, once you are decided with one thing you will have clear mind in stating what you want in writing. Consume your time in thinking, even while you watch TV your subconscious mind can think and you can come out with some brilliant ideas. Even while washing your dishes you can start thinking creatively to get the hang of it, once you create an art by itself to start with creative headliners it goes on till the end.
- Interestingly, even when you write creatively you can set a proper sequence to all of your blogs yet make it look so different and unique. You can start your blog in a Q & A sequence, these are the most common communication starters. Starting with small paragraphs is a good idea as they state briefly what will follow. You can start with your own experiences and interesting stories you came across. You can list some of the sites with your work involved to get the confidence of your readers. You can quiz your readers about something and then state the answer in the following paragraphs that will keep them interested in your blog.
- Just start with your natural ideas as soon as you sit on your computer, don’t stop until you are blank on head with no words to type. At least when ideas strikes you, you shouldn’t stop yourself for correcting on grammar and typing mistakes, that can be corrected later let the natural words flow. You can make use of quick notes so that will remind you later for your corrections that are to be made later.
- After completing on your statements, go through your blog properly from beginning till the end. You can correct your grammar, fill in the empty place, replacements, etc.
- You can read your blog loudly, so that will give you an idea whether if it is really going to make an impact on your readers.
- Did the final touch up, its ready to be posted.
Follow the step given above and in some days you will see yourself writing almost double the blogs you have been writing and see the speed at which you type, you might really be surprised!!!
Once you get the hang of writing or stating your ideas forward, you might well know how to start with creative stuff.
You can give your advice or comments over the stated article.
