Your wish is
my command
2009,
August 15, My 1st Toastmasters meeting
I
was called for a table topic. My heart beat was thundering at a high speed, my
mind went blank, and I was frozen. I was speechless and nothing was coming out
of my mouth. Not even air was coming out of my mouth. I stood in the centre of the stage for 45 seconds
without uttering a word. Then I went back to my place with my head down. That
night I could not sleep and I switched on my TV to watch a movie. Those 45 seconds in the club and the 1 hour 45
minutes I spent in watching the movie, changed my attitude towards public
speaking.
Dear
TMOD, My dear fellow and future TMs, Guests, Good morning
The
movie I saw that night was “The Secret”. How many of you have seen this Movie? Great!
The
movie is based on Law of attraction. What is law of attraction? It is intention
manifestation model. I know it sounds complicated. In simple terms, you ask
what you want, you truly believe in it and you will receive it.
The
three important things which I am going to talk are
1. Law of attraction
2. Sending right signals
3. Tips and Techniques to
practice LOA in our daily lives.
Law of Attraction
Law
of attraction in 3 steps are Ask, Believe and Receive. [Visual here]
That
night I decided to be a good public speaker. I visualized myself speaking
before a huge audience on a daily basis. I raised this wish and I truly believed
in it by attending our TMs weekly meeting. Eventually I received the benefit of
it. On the day Corporate Club was chartered in my company, I spoke in
front of an audience of 500 people. Yes, The Law of Attraction works. It works
for me and it works for each and every one of you.
To
visualize it better, it is like ordering / asking the universe your wish. A
genie will appear in front of you and says your wish is my command. [Visual
here with a picture of Genie] It is as simple as that.
Even
mythology says Ask, you will receive it. Knock and the door will open for you.
Sending right signals
Most
of the times we talk about things which we do not have. We are sending signals
of not having again and again. Let me take an example of our friend Rajesh
Natarajan. Every time he is on stage, he
talks about not having girlfriends. That is why he is not attracting any
girlfriends. As per Law of attraction, if he asks for more girlfriends and
visualizes himself with girlfriends and truly believes in it, I am pretty sure
2013 will bring more girlfriends.
What
kind of signals do we send in our club or at work place? What kind of subjects
do we talk? We crib about our wives or Husbands? We are always sending signals
of things which we do not have? The right approach would be to send the signals
which we want to have. Law of attraction will work for you.
Tips and Techniques to practice LOA
in our daily lives
Even
while delivering this speech, a part of my mind says, you are not good. To
overcome those actions, I always keep a magic stone with me [Visual here]. I
learnt this from the movie and use it on a regular basis. Who is your worst
enemy? Self-criticism is always your worst enemy. Whenever I get any negative
thoughts, I touch this magic stone and replace it with a positive thought.
The
movie says on a single day we get around 65,000 thoughts. Let me repeat it is
65,000 thoughts. To make it easier, It can be related to both good feelings and
negative feelings. You can always replace any negative thoughts with a positive
thought to make your life better and joyful.
We
can extend the same law of attraction to our day to day life. If you want that
dream job, that promotion or your entrepreneurial venture or to overcome your
relationship, wish for it and truly commit and believe in it by visualizing it and
you will definitely receive it.
To
practice the secret in daily life, let us visualize our wishes for 5 to 10 minutes
a day. To make it more effective let us visualize our thoughts as soon as we
get up and just before you go to sleep.
Even,
Buddha’s teaching confirms this theory as well.
Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.”
In
a nutshell, Law of attraction boils down to Thoughts becomes things. By changing
your thoughts and you can change your destiny.
Fellow
toastmasters,
I
can relate the secret of the secret movie with my favourite quote from Basha
movie is “Unn Vaizhai Un Kayil” your life is in your hands.. Go for it.
Over
to you, TMOD.
