Alright, the dream has manifested. The goal I set for myself
is complete. After releasing Blue Book on my birthday i.e 6th
October this year and Gold Book on 11.11.11, that makes it 5 books I’ve
released in 3 years.
What now, now what?
Before I start off on another project or take on another
business initiative, I thought to myself a very simple fact but a completely
life changing truth.
"See since the time we are born, as soon as we learn to walk
or mumble our first few words, we are put into a pre-school, then we go to
junior school, then high school, then college, then a post graduation college,
then we either do a string of jobs or if we are smart, we do business for
ourselves. Let’s not forget that most of us get married, have kids and before
we know it, our kids become the proverbial hamsters in this cycle of life." -Ankush Modawal
I realized that society and peer pressure makes ‘sitting
idle’ or ‘doing nothing’ such an unwanted situation for most of us that it is
nearly impossible to go against the normal conditioning or overcome the feeling
of guilt that comes from being just a human ‘being’ and not a human doing!
If a person is without a job or is not doing any work or is
‘unemployed,’ he or she is looked down upon. As if that person ceases to be a
normal human being and suddenly becomes a radioactive piece of shit!
I thought this fact to myself and realized that I have been
working, writing, studying and grinding towards my dream for so long that I hardly
had time to do anything for myself or others. I too was guilty of being a
hamster, but not guilty of being an unproductive one.
So, finally, I made a decision very recently that I would do
absolutely nothing except for chillin’ out and rejuvenating myself for the next
level of success, wealth and abundance.
Only one problem, after years of working and writing, my
lifestyle was crazily different to what I would plan to live for the near
future. Also, let’s keep in mind the fact that since I have been working for so
long, chillin’ out for whole days and weeks was an absolutely new experience
for me.
Anyway, I had made up my mind that I would give my mind,
body and soul a complete detox before I would start working or writing again.
“It’s only fair to give yourself a break, but at the same
time, a break does not include anything that would break you!” –Ankush Modawal
I am not the type of a guy who likes gossip, neither the
type of person who likes to be around negative people, situations or
conditioning nor the type who would put my emotional, physical or spiritual
strength in jeopardy over anything or anyone for long.
“Like the old saying goes, an idle mind is a Devil’s
workshop. Damn, it’s not only his workshop, it’s a place where he eat, sleeps
and shits too!” –Ankush Modawal
So how do I keep myself busy while doing nothing? How do I rejuvenate,
replenish and recharge my energies? How do I stay focused while not focusing on
my work? Here’s how!
The first thing is to realize that you do deserve this sweet
ass of a time! Not only do you deserve it, you have earned it. Once you remove
any signs of guilt from within your body, only then would you be able to truly
cherish and ravish the moments that are yet to come. Your family, friends or other
well meaning strangers might try to tell you to stop being idle, but ignore
them. If you feel what you are doing in your heart is right, do it.
#1: Sleep
Do you realize how fucked up our fucked up sleep patterns
have become? We have so much work to do that we have to take our cell phones to
the loo so that we can reply to the texts that are pending while we are
shitting? Hell, I know I did! Do yourself a favor and tell everyone you know
that you are on a break. The world won’t end if you don’t pick up a call or
reply to your texts immediately. Sleep like you used to when you were a baby.
#2: Read
Read the books you’ve been wanting for so long to read. Not
the drama novels, crappy news or mindless magazines. I mean real stuff! The
kind of things that would help you develop yourself and into an awesome
personality!
If your home got hit by a giant meteorite and everything was
destroyed, or if aliens abducted and brainwashed you or if you were stranded on
a deserted island, read the following 4 books and in a very short time, you will
become healthy, wealthy and happy!
a. The law of attraction: The basics of the teachings of Abraham
by Esther and Jerry Hicks
Only two words for this, POWERFUL STUFF!
b. You can heal your life by Louise Hay
Find out how certain type of thought patterns manifest as diseases
in the body.
c. Black Books (Part One and II) by Ankush Modawal (Yours
Truly!) I recommend this books for anyone trying to find the answers behind
life. The Black Books will really blow your mind away!
d. Gold Book; Golden rules of the rich and famous for
manifesting money by Ankush Modawal (Yours Truly, yet again!)
This book if for anyone who wants to understand the
energy behind money and wants to manifest more wealth within their lives. The hardest thing about getting money is to realize that it's easy.
I sound like a Hedonist right now telling you to read my
books myself, but this brings me conveniently to my next point.
#3: Write
I started writing because it was really therapeutic, that’s
why I have blatantly mentioned my books in the above list. Writing is something
that transformed my life completely and how I got to know myself. It became my
profession because it became my passion first.
All my books have helped
countless people really figure out what life is all about and how to really be
able to live the life of their dreams.
Also, there are things you feel that you cannot express to
others because either people don’t give a damn, don’t exist or are not there
for you.
So, what started as my emotional catharsis, ravings and
rants, became my full time profession. Now people pay me to write my thoughts. That’s
the power of dreams baby!
#4: Breathe
What the Hell is this, you might say? I don’t have to
breathe, my body does it for me! But know this that when you breathe
consciously, you become conscious of life itself. For a few minutes in a day,
breathe deliberately. Like the saying goes, “Take a breather.”
#5: Clean
It is said that we all are one with everything. That
includes our environment as well so when we clean our surroundings, we are clearing
our own limiting beliefs thus enabling ourselves to create a haven in which we
can completely and totally relax. Keep things to a minimum and surround
yourself with the best quality things you can.
#6: Solitude
Switch off your cell phone. Sit in a room alone in silence. Do
absolutely nothing except for just sitting or lying down. THINK and most importantly,
LISTEN!
“In the daily hustle bustle of life, the scream of our ego
becomes so loud that we cannot hear the whisper of our intuition.” –Ankush Modawal
If you are the type of person who doesn’t like being alone
in your own company, you might have long standing issues which need to be
sorted out.
We live in a time when most of the people of society are
spiritually divorced from their own self. Life has never moved so fast but we
all must slow down and realize that life’s not the destination, it’s the
journey.
And if you realized something, there is still a lot to do even
when you want to do nothing and replenish, recharge and rejuvenate yourself! What do you do to chill out?
