THE MISSING CODE TO YOUR DREAMS

It took me thirty-five years
to get the missing code of my dreams.
Yes, you heard me right.
The missing code normally be used code
in technologies,
the password of a laptop, mobile phones,
credit cards, etc.
And we know that we can’t get access to
these things if we miss the code.
Similarly, there is also a missing code
to our dreams
and that can’t give us access
to accomplish our biggest dreams in life.
Hi, my name is Shalini Julija,
and I am a professional listener.
Lots of people share with me
that how they couldn’t achieve their goals
due to lack of time, money, knowledge or
maybe lack of other resources.
They keep on blaming people, things and
circumstances throughout their lives.
Let me ask, do we actually need to have
all these things to accomplish big goals?
Do you know how do we intend to have
big dreams or goals in life?
Mostly we all want to grow.
Then why a lot of people get settled
for small and ordinary
and said reasonable goals
instead of creating big ones.
We have also observed that
most of the time
we try to do things that we find easy
and hesitate to challenge ourselves
for something really big.
A lot of people find themselves confused
and have no clarity about what they want.
Some of us try to copy others
and fail miserably.
Now the question is,
what comes in our way
to be powerful enough
to set big goals with clarity
and accomplish them?
Let me share with you
the secret of living a powerful life
that most of the people
are not even aware of.
It is so simple, yet profound
that it is our way of being that
gives us results
and not what we know, do or have.
As we know that
our environment and surroundings
play a major role
in designing our identities
and setting our relationship
not only with others
but also with ourselves.
Our choices, decisions and
belief system give us
a certain way of being
that’s responsible
for our actions to be performed
in a particular way.
If I shared about myself,
I didn’t even realize
when I started to relate to myself
as a mediocre
and when it became my way of being.
I never had big dreams or goals in life.
The biggest goal of my life
was to get a decent job, to survive.
I completed my education and started
my struggle to fit in the world
as if I had taken
Darwin’s theory of evolution
to seriously the survival of the fittest.
I could manage to get few good jobs
for myself and also include with time,
I thought this was the best
I could do in my life,
but I was still not aware of
what was missing.
Few years back,
something happened in my life
that changed my perception
towards life.
For the first time ever,
I asked these questions to myself,
who am I?
What do I really want to do
and what’s the purpose of my life?
And I could see
that how I was living an ordinary life
due to a limiting belief,
deeply rooted in my subconscious,
that I am a mediocre
and not meant for big dreams.
I was committed, hardworking and
determined, but directionless.
As there is a famous quote by Paulo Coelho
that if we don’t know where to go
knowing this favorable.
For the first time,
I felt a suppressed desire to contribute
to the society,
to my country and to the whole world.
I left my job
to fulfill this new dream.
But it wasn’t easy for me
as when I left my decent job
to start something new,
people call me crazy,
but this time I was clear
and didn’t care what others had to say.
I simply followed what I felt right,
and today I not only do what I love,
but also own at least 10 times
more than what I used to.
It all got possible
when I broke my limiting belief,
my way of being got shifted
from a mediocre to a contributor.
And today, I want to share my learnings
with all those
who really want to do something big.
That it does not matter what you know,
do or have,
what matters the most
is who are you being?
Your ability to accomplish
big dreams in life
depends upon the way
you relate to yourself,
as it is rightly said by Robert Holden
that your relationship to yourself
sets the tone
for every other relationship you have.
So if you really want to do something big,
instead of asking
what to do and how to do,
ask yourself who am I being
and who do I need to be?
And you will find your missing code.
Thank you.
