At any point of time in your life have you had this question coming in your mind: ‘Why it happens to me alone?’ I am sure yes.

Arthur Ashe is a legendary Wimbledon player and was an AIDS patient. He became an AIDS patient due to infected blood he received during his heartsurgery in 1983. Once the news became public, he started receiving lots of letters from fans all over the world. One of the letters asked, ‘Why does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease Ashe’?

The reply what Arthur Ashe gave was awesome:
‘The world over 50 million children start playing tennis,
5 million learn to play tennis,
500,000 learn professional tennis,
50,000 come to the circuit,
5000 reach the grand slam,
50 reach Wimbledon,
4 to semi final,
2 to the finals,
When I was holding the Wimbledon Cup I
never asked the GOD ‘Why it happens to me alone?’

Today when I have to experience this pain I should not be asking GOD
‘Why it happnes to me alone?’ ‘

I heard the following great lines from some of my friends:
‘Happiness keeps you Sweet,
Trials keep you Strong,
Sorrow keeps you Human,
Failure keeps you Humble and
Success keeps you glowing,
Only Faith &Attitude Keeps you going…

‘Have great hopes and dare to go all out for them,
Have great dreams and dare to live them,
Have tremendous expectations and believe in them.‘

If you have already finished Born To Win you definitely know what I am talking about. If you are yet to
step into Born to Win keep this inspiring message close to your heart.

Arthur Ashe - Hats off to you: You are one more guy who started inspiring me greatly!

It was a totally a new and awesome experience. We just finished the Dubai camp (last week Abu Dhabi Camp was completed) which is one of the biggest children camps ever done. It was full of energy, fun, excitement and many super special emotions. As I always say the success of the Children camp is always dedicated to the great efforts of the coaching team. The entire coaching team (both the ACoaches and the Coaches) needs a big ’salute!’ You people were awesome and you are the people who made it happen.

The team of Assistant Coaches Apoorva, Adil, Swathi, Shruthi, Natasha, Kiran Madhu, Pranav, Gauthami, Sukjit, Abraham, Sagar Suri, Richard - You people were so inspiring and really made a tremendous difference in the amount of energy we experiened inside the hall! I love you all deep from my heart. I am going to miss you people till the time we meet next.

The Coaches from India Bhaskaran (Program Director), Manohar, Uma, Sudharshan; Coaches from Dubai/Sharjah Mathew, Hasan, Richard, Abdul Ghani, Beena, George. Each and every one of you made a huge difference in the life of those wonderful children. You all were totally guided and so certain on what you were doing. I wish this camp gives you all a new learning, and all the support required to move to the next level in your life.

As usual: Nirmala - your training and coaching made tremendous difference. Like how Richard Coach said, let the Force of Guidance be your voice!
Abhayan - You are like the basement of the huge building. Your efforts were the foundation for this greatest experience what we all had together.
Sendhil’s presence gave every bit of moral support required.

It is not only these set of people but each and every one who is part of OnlySuccess and every one who has coached in the past - your thoughts were always with us.

These days were not only the greatest days for the children but also for me. I am wondering how come in this camp there were so many varieties of people. The truth is no two children are similar. Interestingly in this camp every child was so different and that was the reason for such a great experience. I thank the super power nature for giving this greatest privilege to touch the lives of so many children and their parents. Let the children remain the way they walked out of the camp for ever in their life!

I have a rocking news to all.

We are doing a live phobia cure of Snake this week on Saturday.

What is a Phobia?
Phobia is the intense fear for something. One of the most feared creatures in the world is the Snake. I have seen individuals who can be scared even with the picture of the snake or when they see the snake on the TV.

Interestingly every human is not phobic to snake. People are phobic to various things:

Cockroach - Are you the one who run around the house to save yourself from a cockroach?
Spouse - No kidding. I am telling the truth.
Boss - They hate the office and always think what my boss will say Computer / Technology - They never learn new technology!

Why phobia or intense phobia is created in the mind?
Everyone is not phobic to snake or cockroach. Each individual is phobic to different creatures or activities. Why is it. Mind distorts certain creatures or events greatly.

There are people who can make the face of the cockroach so big and scream. There are people who can think of the touch of the snake skin or the lizard and intensify the fear.

Through the science of NLP(Neuro Linguistic Programming), I learnt this amazing truth:

Once the distortion is worked on instantly a phobia can be cured!

Even phobias of life time can be cured in minutes, which with a the traditional psychiatrist may take years of treatment.

How it will be if a super expert on NLP works on you or works on somebody live in front of you to cure the phobia? Mind-blowing? Here is the details of the Live Phobia cure which will be done by my Training Director Praveen Sherman. Obviously first of its kind. Grab a pass for you and your family today.

It happens on Saturday, 14th June 2008 at 6.30 pm @ Chinmaya Heritage Center, Harrington Road, Chetpet, Chennai. Call 4215 5353 or email to info@onlysuccess.net to get your pass.

I am sure you know right now camps are going on back to back for children.  In addition to what ever camps that got over in India there are four more camps coming up in UAE - Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi.  Obviously I love this period a lot. 

Lots of training, lots of coaching, and lots of fun.  More than all it is a great feeling of supporting the children to change their lives for ever.  Once common question I always hear from coaches is ‘Why Coaching is Addictive?’ 

Addictive means anything which you cannot stop easily.  Anything that you gives you a great feeling when you do, when you get indulged. Anything that you want to do it again and again, where heart takes over the mind.

I have always found two kinds of addictions:
1. Negative addictions - They are the ones that destroys us internally and physically in the long run.   Smoking, drinking, uncontrollable time spent on TV / internet, excessive sleeping etc

2. ???????? ????? ????????Positive addictions - They allow us to grow stronger emotionally and show our inner strengths.  Coaching is one among those positive addictions.

What creates the addictions in the coaching:  Anything that gives you an emotional ‘high’ always turns out to be an addictive behaviour.  When you are a coach to somebody you become a roll model for others.  People look up to you as a person whom they can trust, whom they can model and whom they can admire.  These factors push you to see yourself differently.  It helps you to easily come out of some of your lousy patters which you wanted to step out for years together. 

Like any new behaviour to set in for the first time always there is a resistance.  That is the reason I even see people come back to coach after one or even 2 years from the time they finish the Born to Win program.  But the interesting part is once they come in they realise that it is addictive.  They keep coming back for coaching.  It give an emotional ‘high’.  It makes you more disciplined.  It shows a new you.  It pushes your identity to the next better level.  It makes you grow internally. It creates the opportunity to make a difference in others life which for many of the coaches what I have seen is a first time experience.

I love positive addictions.  In fact that makes you grow faster.  Keep increasing your list of positive addictions and grow stronger internally.  Keep coaching….Say I love Coaching.

Last Sunday, it was an amazing Whoosh Event by Dr.M.A.Raja, Oncologist from Apollo.  What touched me instantly when I met Dr.M.A.Raja was his huge respect for human emotions.  I saw him more as a human than only as a Doctor.  He mentioned why he chose to be a Doctor when he was just 7!.  It was a well defined goal for him and he made that happen in his life.   His grandfather was a Doctor and he saw people walking into his room crying but when they were coming out they were happy. He saw his grandfather as a magician, a person who wanted to wipe off the tears of others.  He also wanted to be a magician in others life, a person who can wipe of others tears.

That gave him intense passion to be a Doctor.  It was a great story.  Obviously that is what made him a great Doctor - The passion to wipe off others tears.  It was inspiring!

If you have misses some of his great wisdoms here in I am going to list down for you.  Dr.M.A.Raja being a senior Oncologist we definitely had some amazing learnings from him.   The crux what really he drove in our minds are here:

A. He brought in the great example of Lance Amstrong, the guy who won cancer.  His story was inspiringn and definitely I will share more about him in my postings.

B. Some of the major risk factors that causes cancer: 
1. Genes:  Though it is one of the major factor there are research studies going on to even rework the genes.  I was wondering one day you can walk into a clinic and change your gene and come back.  How the life will change and what the way world will look like?  Great to think about.

2.  Pollution: Be aware of this and follow some basic rules to keep yourself away from pollution.

3. Evolution of Humans:  Today because of technology advancements we do little activities with our body and more and more activitiy using brain.  Once out of office the brain still have to work on lot of stuff, as you watch TV, as you engage in looking for information online etc.  Bring in lot of motion to your body.

4. Food:  His classification was simple; a) Cancer causing food b) Clogging food c) Foods boycotted for political or environmental reaons.  He told a strong No to Red meat.  If you are the one who takes lot of red meat either stop it or reduce it to one third today!  If are thinking how, use the techniques of NLP to break your craving for food that you must not take.

5. Mental Status:  If your are part of BORN to WIN I dont have to tell you the impact of the mind on the body.  Cancer hates people with download new ringtones free cricket ringtones ringtones software ringtones free nokia ringtones free blackberry ringtones polyphonic ringtones free yahoo ringtones totally free ringtones cricket download free ringtones cingular ringtones nextel ringtones software make ringtones boost free mobile ringtones download free nokia ringtones cricket free ringtones hotlink caller ringtones caller ringtones free samsung ringtones download free ringtones cell phone highly positive attitude.  Let cancer hate you.  Be there on first sunday of every month for ‘Attract the Outcome You Deserve’ event by 7 am.

6. Smoking:  You know the fact?  30% of cancer across the world is becuase of smoking.  Simple:  Stop it!

7. Life Style:  Look at your lifestyle.   It has to be energizing.  Every day routine of yours must be healthy and energetic. 

8. Infections:  Remember you have total control on what infections can affect and what cannot.  It is about how you eat and what you eat. 

It was great to have him here.  Definitely it added lots of insight into some of our prespectives of life.  I stepped on to the stage and asked him “Will a mind training like Born to Win will have any positive impact on a cancer patient?  If you feel yes OnlySuccess would like to offer seats for some of your cancer patients in the upcoming July 08 Born to Win.”  Dr. M.A.Raja also felt a strong yes and he decided to send some of them to the upcoming Born to Win.  By the law of Super Power Nature we expect medical miracles to happen!  I am sure you are with me on this. 

Defintiely the Whoosh committee has made a commendable job to organize such a nice event. Hats off Whoosh!

I often hear from people, ‘Vidya I feel tired now a days! Am I getting older?’. There are also times I used to hear from people, ‘I feel very depressed and I don’t know why’.

Worst solution is going to a physician or talking to a psychiatrist will land you up on a vicious cycle! I have even come across people taking anti-depressants and later figure out it is of no use, in fact they feel even more depressed as they get into a thought that mentally they are not ok! No body likes to see themselves as mentally imbalanced! Continuous Feeling of Tiredness also Contributes to Depression though.
