Science behind
The two brain theory: Frontal lobe and limbic

The frontal lobe, involved in conscious thought and higher mental functions such as decision-making, plays an important part in processing short-term memories and retaining longer term memories which are not task-based.

Mind has a mind of its OWN.

The limbic system supports a variety of functions, including emotion, behaviour, motivation, long-term memory, and olfaction. It appears to be primarily responsible for emotional life, and it has a great deal to do with the formation of memories.

He not busy being born is busy dying!

Knowing others is wisdom, knowing yourself is Enlightenment.

EVALUATE: Yourself, what's important to you, What you do!

Knowing: what you have in your life, what adds value and what sucks life out is start of it. Define all important areas Define what makes them up Write down the parameter which would make the situation ideal for each of important areas. Evaluate your current standing against ideal standings.

Science behind
Humans are more than just consciousthey are also self-aware. Difference: Consciousness is awareness of ones body and ones environment; Self-awareness is recognition of that consciousnessnot only understanding that one exists, but further understanding that one is aware of ones existence. Another way of thinking about it: To be conscious is to think; to be self-aware is to realize that you are a thinking being and to think about your thoughts.

PLAN: Identify The Path, Simulate The Execution

The subconscious mind
Your subconscious mind is like a huge memory bank. Its capacity is virtually unlimited. It permanently stores everything that ever happens to you. Your subconscious mind is an unquestioning servant that works day and night to make your behaviour fits a pattern consistent with your emotionalized thoughts, hopes, and desires. All your habits of thinking and acting are stored in your subconscious mind.

Nothing plays more important part in your life then your character which in turn depends on hardcore beliefs and habits which a human can cultivate. And your character is resultant of your Value System. So build our value system consciously.

ACT: Align & Achieve

The best way to predict your future is to create it

I never worry about action, but only inaction.

ALIGN & ACT:

ACT ACT ACT Have a plan & Act Act as per plan! Align the plan and Act Plans = good intentions; ACTION = hard work. Celebrate the success and Act! Action is the real measure of intelligence. Action and Motion are different things! Develop a sense of urgency. Remember: Every ACTION has equal and opposite REACTION; Be prepared for it.

Even if youre on the right track, youll get run over if you just sit there.

Mind the change; Measure the change!
