Infinite Possibilities Project


#InfinitePossibilitiesProject 

          The universe is infinite and achieving your goals drawing power from this infinite universe is what we all aim for. But actually jotting them down, prioritizing them and acting upon them is what no one actually achieves. Taking small, timely steps to understand our self, our needs, our priorities and goals in life is important and this is what #IPP has done for me over the period of 30 days.
The Project has helped me introspect, made me set my priorities. Some activities have motivated me to dream and pursue the dream; given me energy to work towards the goals and the completion of this project has given me a sense of accomplishment.
Learning is the breath of life, and this project has helped me to learn about myself. To look at myself too, learn to be at peace with oneself. I have learnt to dream and to take steps towards follow the dream. To keep myself motivated, smile and make the day – a memorable one. I have learnt to love myself and my dreams, aims and goals. Nothing is too far to be achieved, and nothing negative in the present actually matters in the long run. This project has taught me that taking small but definite steps, helps you to move towards your goal.
To love yourself doesn’t mean that we forget others, it means, give time to yourself and to what you want to achieve in life, meanwhile, as you stay happy others stay happy around you. You have a sense of accomplishment which drowns the stress and worries about trivial issues around.
I have been able to realize what my priority in life is. How important my dreams are and I obtained the zest to follow my dream. It has taught me that “no dream is too big”, it is your imagination and your perseverance that makes or breaks your dream.
Over the period of 30 days of this project, I sense a feeling of happiness, and accomplishment. This has made me look forward to take steps towards making my dream a reality. It has taught me that it is not impossible to achieve anything; just – keep moving, rather than being stationary – tiny steps can complete a long journey.
Last year I read a lot of books and I wanted to change myself. I never took any steps but kept procrastinating. But now I have realized, there is no better time than now – this moment to start anything. This year, I will dream big and take steps to achieve that dream. Last year, I was just a reader, this time I will read as well as write, and most importantly I am now writing the new story of my forthcoming life, which is much more blessed, tranquil, successful, happy and abundant.
The entire Infinite Possibilities Project has had a captivating effect on me. Every day, I looked forward to the upcoming activity, and though Mike said, it was a 10 minute activity; it actually kept my mind in an active state for the entire month. I am asked to pick one favourite activity; it would be, writing a letter from my future self to my present self. That made me realize how we fuss over trivial things, which will not matter at all at a later stage in life, forget 5 years, but even five months from now. It also gives an inspiration and a sense of motivation. Claiming and discussing how all the dreams are fulfilled, motivated me to act and to take steps to fulfil my dreams.
Of course each activity is fun and inspirational, I will use many of these activities, especially taking tiny steps towards my goal, and writing about my successes to myself. Also I would write some letters, or questions that I have to my future self, and I hope to receive answers from my future self. – As Richard Bach did in Bridge across forever, he met his future self to get answers.
I am unaware of being challenged to face fears, but yes, it has made me take bold steps and put my foot down to make myself to reach out and work for myself. While working on this project, it does make on think about making action plans and taking actions.
The biggest realization that I have had is that no dream is too big, and no trivial issue is too important to put away your happiness. Happiness is actually dependent on other people or circumstances, so more than happiness if we are able to find peace and contentment – we should find peace inside our self – happiness comes along.
My new regimen for daily spiritual practice would be to find new challenges, like these throughout the year and to spend at least one hour for myself every day.
