New Year Resolution #4 - One Million Thank You #TheLifesWay

Hi Friends, 

There have been some of the habits I have followed over the years to increase my gratitude power as per the Law of Attraction and also to increase my productivity in several areas from time to time. I have watched The Secret movie way back in 2007 for the first time and since then I am glued to the video. I have learned a lot from the video as well as followed so many practices over the years. Last year during the lockdown, I came across a book named Happy Money by Ken Honda where the writer told me that any of your tasks which is pending for a long can be achieved if you say Thank You 100,000 times and be grateful about it and I took it really seriously to adapt into my lifestyle. He further told that there is nothing that can stop you from achieving that task if you have the belief and conviction in your gratitude towards the Universe. 

I generally walk and bought a hand-held digital counter to implement saying the 100,000 Thank You continuously in a jap (in Hindi) way meaning the muttering of a mantra. I generally try to achieve as and when I remember but for 2022 I am setting a goal to achieve it every month once for sure. For the same, it boils down to 3333 per day which can be achieved if you walk for around 3 kilometres every day then you can easily say Thank You as you take each step. One by one you will reach a stage where your counter will show 99999 and I can tell you that's one of the happiest moments for sure. 

I have been irregular at this task so I have not seen or is not able to connect the dots where this has helped me in my life in a big way in 2021. But I am sure whatever small I have achieved in 2021 is only due to this for sure. I have seen myself winning contests where I really wanted to win, I have seen myself getting things I wanted to buy. It's really a habit that you should adopt to take you a frequency where you can feel great about yourself and others around you. I also felt internally happy that I am doing this task and slowly I will have the conviction with belief too and that's what I wish for you too! I am sure if I go by this rate and at the end of the 12 months, I will be crossing One Million Thank You's for sure. It will be 1.2 Million THANK YOU's that will create a great life for me this year in 2022. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

I am sure that you are following my new year resolutions and I plan to update these posts once I achieve a particular goal for the week or month or as I feel about it a little later in the year. I also plan to create some of the affirmations videos in the various categories on my Youtube Channel and the same will be released soon. Let the process begin today! 

Cheers!!!

#TheLifesWayReviews - Money Smart by Vilochanee Naidoo #MoneySmart @Vilochanee #BookReview

Hi Friends,

Money Smart - How to Be Finance-Savvy and Live a Wealthy Life is written by Vilochanee Naidoo who brings all her knowledge gained in her 21 years of experience in Finance and Procurement with various Blue Chip companies. Money Smart is a very thin book of just about 102 pages containing 12 chapters on various topics from Income, Budgeting, Buying a car, Buying a property, Financial Wellness, Savings and Investments, Shopping Principles, and Managing Contracts and Obligations amongst various other topics. 

It's quite an easy financial book to go through as compared to the others which take you on the route by various American authors where they mostly mention the IRS and other forms but this book specifically focusses on South African millennials and students who have just started their career. I received this book at the start of the month and yesterday night I completed the same from the first page to last page in around 2 hours as I thoroughly enjoyed reading the same. 

The book doesn't delve deeper into the nitty and gritty of the topics but gives you lessons learned kind of practicality to keep your expenses within certain percentages which are actually followed by financial consultants and advisors throughout the world. If you follow her advice, I am definitely sure that you can enjoy your life with whatever income means you have while creating multiple sources of income on the go. The starting chapter is a little bit longer as it explains the need for this book for the South African economy and could have been cut shorter but once the main topic comes the book flows from one topic to another quickly. The book seems to be a compilation of various financial articles, speeches, and blog posts written by the author and made into a book format but none the less, you are getting the same in a hard copy format without any efforts so go for it. 

The book tries to change your money quotient to work on your goals, feed the same to the Universe, and then build an ecosystem as explained in The Secret by Rhonda Byrne using the law of attraction. I have been using the same principle since the first time I saw the Secret video in 2008. But am I financially independent? No, but Am I financially savvy? Yes and this book validated my learnings over the years that if I continue working on my goals, then I can definitely achieve financial freedom one day in the near future. As she says mentioning Investopedia that by the age of 40 - 3 times your annual salary in savings, at age 50 - 5 times and at age 60 - 6 times shall be in your bank accounts. I think I have achieved the first portion as I will complete 40 years on 22nd July this year and now need to work Money Smart towards the next phase of life from 40-50 years of age. Thanks

Money Smart can be bought hardcopy from as little as R350 or eBook for R199 or via kindle at R66. More information about the book can be found at www.money-smartbook.com

6 Days To www.TheLifesWay.com 5th Birthday Celebrations #5YearsofTheLifesWay #27Dec2017 #SelfSufficient

Hi Friends,

Life will always be full of surprises and you will always be amazed at what it offers if you are curious enough. There is no dearth for someone who is ready to take on the challenge to live the life joyfully. Gratefulness is the first step which can really bring us a positive change in our lives. I have felt this so many times in my life that stay humble and you will get what you have even in your subliminal mind. I have full faith in the Law of Attraction and Law of Karma.

I think on a different pattern where I want to be self-sufficient as I don't like using anyone's else stuff and only love my own things which I have bought. I can live without until the time I can get the same for myself. In my life, I have always taken care of all the things myself and totally loved handling the pressure or the thought process to overcome the same. It has helped me grow into an individual who has his own opinions about stuff and views on several topics. 

I can always talk about various topics, stuff, and things under the sun and I have won so many General Knowledge contests. I have always thought of myself as an encyclopedia of information with a good processor to get the information access fast when someone asks me in a quiz contest. That competitive spirit is always inside me and I have loved bringing that up during the contest. If there is some contest going on and if I am interested in winning the thing, there is nothing that can stop me to reach my end result. I will always achieve what I set my eyes on and I am thankful to Universe to help me in the same. 

Nothing can be accomplished without hard work and if you brain power then it will be easy. It just needs discipline and perseverance to carry on towards your goals. Sometimes I have felt that a person takes a lot of time to define new goals once the first ones are achieved, there shall never be the dearth of activities you want to learn or do in your life. Always keep a life journal with you and keep making the list of things you want to do in your life! Life is limited but you can have the infinite joy in this life and that's living the life in a real The Life's Way!!! - Aashish Rai

13 Days To www.TheLifesWay.com 5th Birthday Celebrations #5YearsofTheLifesWay #27Dec2017 #LuckyDays

Hi Friends, 

It always happens that you get what you don't expect or have already bought some time back. In my life that has happened a lot and many times, I have got the same kind of products which I already just bought myself. But anyways a prize is always great and is received with a lot of gratitude to the Universe and the Law of Attraction which I believe in fully. 

The first time the lady luck smiled at me for something I always wanted to achieve was in London when I won a Sony Handycam HDR-XR350 at a UEFA Champions League Hyde Park Showcase to the Finals at Wembley, London, UK in 2011. I totally loved the same as the same was imported from Germany to London along with UEFA team and I used it to capture a lot of birthday events of Keisha and many celebrations at home. The 7.1MP Handycam with 160GB was worth more than I could buy myself and at that time I only had Panasonic FZ5 digital camera. I am thinking of doing video blogs using the same once I sort out the battery issues in Sony Handycam. The Handycam is stored in a small bag from Timberland which my brother-in-law gifted me from Russia. I did buy an extra battery from the USA via my brother but that too is old now to perform at full capacity. Sony is still the main sponsor of the Champions League Trophy.

Similarly, when Google launched their Nexus 7 tablet and my parents visited USA, I specifically gave them my Credit Card to get me one 16GB edition but as the same was sold out, they bought me a 32GB one. I simply adored the Nexus 7 and still watched most of my content on the same. Within 15 days of I receiveing the same when my parents came back from States, I won an Apple iPad Mini 16GB in one of the contests for Hyundai Motors, India. I was so happy and immediately fall in love with the new device too.

After buying my own Nikon D7000 DSLR camera, I participated in Mission Samsung Blogger Challenge in 2014 and as a part of Community Challenge Winner - I received an awesome Samsung NX300 Mirrorless Camera. The camera is too good in low light and holds a 20MP lens. The photographs are so good that the Mercedes-Benz also appreciated my clicks and a lot of them are shared on my social media channels including Instagram. I used it at many places from portraits to events and all the images using the camera is awesome. I bought a Purple cover for the same from Game Store at the sale for ZAR 50 and it holds the camera safely. I am looking to buy another battery for the same along with a 45mm lens which will enhance this camera further. 

In the last few years, I am thinking that I have not applied the Law of Attraction fully into my day to day living as surprises are not coming to me in their full capacity or my demands from the Universe have increased a lot. It's not that the Universe can't fulfill them but firstly I need to be able to accept them and also totally deserve them. In my London Handycam experience, I spent the whole Saturday at the event participating in all their games and activations without eating food etc and again went back on Sunday morning to do the same but came back once I got a call from them to announce me as a winner and handing me the prize. I was so happy. 

Similarly, with Samsung Challenge - I knew when I wrote the article on a weekend afternoon with a cup of tea in my hands that it will definitely win and from that day onwards - I never left hope and one day I got the email that I have won the contest. I received the camera after a small hiccup with the PR company where they were sending me a Samsung point and shoot camera instead of the original prize which I pointed them from the initial terms and conditions of the contest. They were humble enough to correct the same and sent me my prize in 2-3 days. I could not use it immediately as there was no SD card in the camera package so had to wait till I reached home. That day I still remember I had to attend an event too before making my way to my house and there was no SD card with me during this whole time. Immediately, the next day I bought a series of SD cards as spares for all my cameras. 

Wating for the days where Universe says to me - Your Wish IS My Command! Till that time...Cheers!!!
