What does it mean to believe in your dream
Believe in your dreams. They were given to you for a reason – Katrina Mayer
Dreams are Realities unrealised!
Many of us, we have loads of dreams…but only a handful of us realise them…Why?
Because of the outer voices that derail us, making us fall in the belief that our dreams are impossible to realise, either because they are too ambitious or because WE are not good enough the turn them into reality.

Sometimes these voices come from others, and sometimes they come from ourselves. For far too long we have underestimated the power and possibility that life is the act of dreaming what can be and that we all have to do the work it takes to make our dreams a reality. It is called VISUALISATION!
The power of visualization is AMAZING, MAGICAL and POWERFUL! WE have the capacity to ‘SEE’ things that is not yet true, TRUE in our MIND – in fact this is how it is – every thing that has been ‘created’ or I should say ‘invented was created twice, once in the MIND and then in reality. The mind of the human being is the factory of imagination – WE IMAGINE TOMORROW and the FUTURE! That’s the power of the MIND!
Our dreams are magic, and if respected, nurtured and honored, they ultimately bring an abundance of meaning and purpose to our lives. Dreams guide us as we reach for the stars, follow our heart's desire and do the things we are passionate about. Dreams help weave the fabric of who we are, and they reveal what matters most to us. They allow our spirits to shine, and they reflect our uniqueness and authenticity.
Even when we hear the call to put our dreams aside, louder, clearer and more powerful voices remind and connect us to the truth, beauty and wealth of our dreams. These voices are our own, coming from our subconscious mind, reminding us most of the time of WHO WE ARE!
SO, you see, we can DREAM any DREAM, as BIG as can possibly be imagined by the MIND, BUT this is where OUR mental strength and toughness is put at test. Will we persevere AND believe in our dreams or are we going to simply put it aside as the outer voices are shouting us to do?

April 26, 2022 S9 E9 “Seeing” it is not enough - you have to Believe! with Ravin Papiah
“Seeing” it is not enough - you have to Believe!
Seeing is Believing!
You may have heard this saying – Seeing is Believing, but what you see is not always true!
So, what is a Belief?
A BELIEF is something that you believe or accept as true. You might believe something based on a fact, an opinion or an assumption. When you believe something, you might not have immediate personal knowledge, but you are satisfied that something is the way it is.
Your belief system is NOT necessarily correct or accurate. Interestingly, not only are you driven by your beliefs, but you will also unconsciously look for evidence, or other experiences that will confirm and reinforce your beliefs as you don’t want to be wrong. Your beliefs are often your perception of the way things are and what you believe to be true. But this does not mean that your belief is actually true!
Tao de Haas, in his article ‘about my brain’ says:
In other words, when you believe something to be true you will rarely question or think about the validity of that belief.
You form your beliefs from a very early age. These beliefs are based on your environment; what you were told, what you heard as well as what you observed and experienced. Your beliefs are also the conclusions you draw from these experienced. You form beliefs about yourself, about others and the world around you.
People hang onto their beliefs even if they are limiting or fly in the face of evidence to the contrary. This is why it is so hard to logically reason with those who hold strong beliefs based on a ‘feeling of knowing’ rather than evidenced based logic and scientific proof.
On some level, people might know their beliefs do not make sense and are contrary to all evidence, but as the latest research in neuroscience tells us, beliefs that are not consciously and deliberately challenged will always win out over evidenced based logic and reality.
You create your beliefs consciously as well as unconsciously and you hold them dear. You will also try to reinforce your beliefs constantly (unconsciously and consciously). Why? Your beliefs fulfil part of your safety needs. Your brain needs to have beliefs in order to feel safe. You have created a whole system of beliefs that have formed your map of your inner and outer world. Without your map you are likely to feel lost.
This map is called your belief system, a system that guides you in your everyday functioning. As Johann Wolfgang van Goethe said ‘Man is made by his belief. As he believes, so he is’. You don’t want to contradict yourself or prove yourself wrong. Why would you want to admit you are using the wrong map? So you will defend your map of both your inner and outer world.
So, are Beliefs a help or a hindrance?
Here is the problem. As Frank Lloyd Wright says ‘The thing always happens that you really believe in; and the belief in a thing makes it happen’.
Your belief system (your map) is often strongly influenced by other people’s opinions and prejudices. The formation of your map was more than likely unconscious and without deliberation. So what if your map is sending you in the wrong direction or a direction that you don’t really want to go? Or your map doesn’t align with your needs, values and desires?
That is why it is of utmost importance that you challenge and update your beliefs often to ensure your map supports and guides you in the direction you want to go. Re-examining and reinterpreting the experiences that created your belief system, especially negative ones, is essential if you want to change your beliefs.
Re-examine your limiting and negatives beliefs and ask yourself:
Where does this belief come from?
Is this my belief or have I adopted it from someone else?
How does this belief help me?
How does this belief hinder me?
How do I know this belief is true?
What is my new and updated belief?

April 17, 2022 S9 E8 Fanning the Flames of Desire with Ravin Papiah
E8 – Fanning the Flames of Desire
Fan the flames of Desire to glow as bright as the sun – Mahima Pareek
Wishing will not bring you riches, But DESIRING riches with a state of mind that becomes an obsession, then planning definite ways and means to acquire riches, and backing those plans with persistence which does not recognize failure, will bring riches.
In the book ‘Think & Grow Rich’, Napoleon Hill gives us 6 steps using which your DESIRE for riches can be transmuted into its financial equivalent:

FIRST – Fix in your mind the EXACT amount of money you desire. It is not sufficient merely to say, ”I want plenty of money.” Be DEFINITE as to the amount. (There is a psychological reason for definiteness of purpose)
SECOND – Determine exactly what you intend to give in return for the money you desire (There is no such reality as “something for nothing”)
THIRD – Establish a definite date when you intend to possess the money you desire
FOURTH – Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire, and begin at once whether you are ready or not , to put this plan into action
FIFTH – Write out a clear, concise statement for the amount of money you intend to acquire, name the time limit for its acquisition, state what you intend to give in return for the money, and describe clearly the plan through which you intend to accumulate it
SIXTH – Read your written statement aloud, twice daily, once just before retiring at night, and once after arising in the morning. AS YOU READ – SEE AND FEEL AND BELIEVE YOURSELF ALREADY IN POSSESSION OF THE MONEY!

April 17, 2022 S9 E7 Understanding Desire with Ravin Papiah
E7 Understanding Desire
Desire knows no boundary. It is simply the very nature of the Universe itself. Desire is the very root of the Universe. Darcy Lyon
Galen Guengerich Ph.D., in his article ‘The Four Stages of Desire: From Everything to One Thing’ in Psychology today wrote about why we should stop wanting everything and focus on what matters most.
As a culture, we’ve had ambivalent feelings about feelings of desire from the very beginning. The Christian tradition generally takes a dim view of desire, mainly because it tends to focus on the ephemeral satisfactions of this world—variously termed the lust of the flesh or the pride of the eye—rather than the eternal rewards of the next world. Western philosophers, on the other hand, have generally viewed desire as fundamental to human life. To be human is to desire what we do not have.
Desire motivates us in many important ways: physical desire, for example, is called hunger or thirst; intellectual desire is called curiosity; sexual desire is called lust; economic desire is called consumer demand. Remove these expressions of desire, and human life as we know it would cease to exist. Our culture in general and our economy in particular are built on our desire for things and experiences we do not have.
The 15th-century Indian mystic Kabir, a poet and philosopher, who today is revered by both Hindus and Muslims, argued that desire constitutes the true wealth of humanity. One of the leading 20th-century interpreters of Kabir was a spiritual teacher named Eknath Easwaran, who once explained in a videotaped lesson that Kabir views desire as having four stages.
The vast majority of people, Kabir says, are born with countless desires—too many desires to pursue any one of them with conviction or dedication. Most concern the superficial aspects of life, such as personal appearance or personal possessions. People who have many desires are the poorest of people, Kabir says, and they seldom achieve any success in any field. Their lives are also the saddest, because they are the most superficial, dominated by too many desires that matter too little.
There are other people, Kabir goes on to say, who are born with some desires, and these are usually people who lead what are considered successful lives. No matter what field of endeavor they choose, they manage to accomplish at least modest goals, because they are able to focus on only some desires.
A fortunate few individuals, however, have only a few desires. Out of these come the geniuses: great scientists like Madame Curie and Albert Einstein, great musicians and poets, great humanitarians and political leaders. These individuals have very few desires, and thus they will make their mark in whatever fields they commit themselves to.
Finally, a few rare individuals have only one desire. These are the great mystics—spiritual leaders who often practice meditation, which is a demanding discipline designed to reduce one's number of desires. Over time, says Kabir, meditation can reduce a person’s desires from countless to many; then from many to some; from some to a few; and from a few to only one. As the number of desires becomes fewer, the desires themselves become less superficial and more profound.

Kabir also describes a pattern of emotional development that corresponds with the decrease in the number of desires. People who have many desires, he says, often have volatile emotional lives. Their emotions go up; they come down. They get upset easily; they calm down quickly. None of these emotional conditions lasts very long, however; one of the great advantages of being superficial is that you are never upset for very long because the things that upset you aren’t important. But neither are your satisfactions important or enduring. Nothing lasts long, because nothing matters much.

April 17, 2022 S9 E6 Depth of Desire with Ravin Papiah
E6 Depth of Desire?
The Size of your Success depends on the Depth of Your Desire - Anonymous
What is Depth?
Purpose, personal mission statements, core values, our “why” – what ties all these things together? Depth. We use these things to help us go deeper in the areas of our lives that matter most.
So what is “depth”? How do we define it, and most importantly, how can we create more of it? What does it mean to go deep in an area of your life – and what are some of the things that prevent us from experiencing it?
Just imagine what life would look like if you go deep in the areas that were most important to you? To do this, you need to define what depth meant to you. Let’s look at the DEPTH model on the D.E.P.T.H. model. Here are the five areas that impact how deep we go in any area of our lives: Desire, Energy, Purpose, Targeting, and Habits. Let’s dig in a little deeper…
Desire
The single most important driver in creating depth is desire – it’s the spark that ignites everything else. Atomic Habits author James Clear captures it this way, “Desire is the engine that drives behavior. Every action is taken because of the anticipation that precedes it. It is the craving that leads to the response.”
Getting clear on what we want requires answering some basic questions… If you were to envision living life on your terms, what would that look like? Even more important, what would it feel like? What kind of lifestyle are you trying to create for yourself and your family? What are your goals and aspirations in life?
Energy
With a clear understanding of what you want and the life you’re trying to create, your energy is the next place to focus your attention. You need to choose where you’ll be investing your time and what activities will turn your wants into realities. Keep this in mind – energy is a finite resource. We only have so much of it, so spending it wisely is critical.
Ask yourself… What actions are you willing to take to get what you desire? What activities will you invest energy into? Where should you be spending your time? What should you be doing, and where should you be applying force to create movement?
Our desires have no value unless we are willing to put energy and effort into working toward those wants. Without that, they’re just wishes. Answering these questions will help you lock in on where you should spend your energy.
Purpose
Want to 10X your efforts? When we align our desires and energy with our purpose, it catapults our results. Purpose is the multiplier that increases your impact and allows you to go deeper more quickly. It’s also the element we need in order to get through the challenges of creating depth – those moments when we encounter barriers or pressure. When we’re passionate about what we’re working on, it impacts our willingness to fight for what we want, be stubborn, and persevere.
Ask yourself these questions… What gets you out of bed in the morning? What are your core values – the things that are non-negotiable in your life? If you have a personal mission statement, what have you identified as your motivations? What drives your decision-making, and how do you want to be remembered when you’re gone? When you attach the answers to these questions to your desires and energy, you’ve created a strong foundation for depth in your life.
Targeting
With your desires, energy, and purpose aligned, here’s the part I have struggled with the most… targeting. As I shared in the beginning, I wanted to be great at everything, and I spread myself too thin. I was unfocused – not laser-focused. It wasn’t until I started targeting the most important things (not everything) that I started experiencing changes in my life.

April 17, 2022 S9 E5 E5 What is Desire with Ravin Papiah
E5 What is Desire?
The Starting Point of All Achievement! – Napoleon Hill
A Burning Desire is a Consuming obsession of your Life!
People have many needs and wants, and many times, they just don’t get most of them. Why? People are busy working for the physiological needs to survive, and they are mostly struggling to get access to these needs. And then, people have many wants, needs that are not instrumental to survival, but people want in order to feel happy, elated, different, bossy, etc etc. In order to get access to your wants, most of the time you need money for that, thus in most cases where people don’t have the money, they don’t get these wants.
So, what is DESIRE then?
Desire is that WANT that you have that you are READY to do anything to acquire, It is not a wish, not a hope, it is a burning, dominating pulsating want! It is something that you ‘see’ all the time, something you wake up with, you go through the day with, you go to bed with….
What you need to know
First, have a vivid, burning desire to accomplish a clear cut, definite purpose. In addition, you must couple that desire with total determination to achieve it. Finally, only then do you have the fuel required to drive you to take the required action.
Know what you want. Have a plan to get it. Be open minded. Have the flexibility to modify your plan or adopt a new one if the old plan isn’t working. Believe in and have faith that Infinite intelligence will assist you. Ask for guidance. Continue to do so until such time as you find a plan that does work!
What you need to do
Definiteness of purpose
The benefit of having a definite purpose is the automatic development of a number of traits that are of vital importance in developing the mental aptitude for success. They include:
self-reliance
imagination
enthusiasm
self-discipline
concentration of effort
Exercise – Create a visual image of what your life will be like when you are in possession of what you desire. Design and make a “vision board” with pictures of the things you will have when you are living the life of your dreams. Place your vision board where you will see it most frequently.

April 14, 2022 S9 E4 - The Birth of a Successful Mindset with Ravin Papiah
E4 - The Birth of a Successful Mindset
2. Goal-Setting Mindset
Knowing what you want will motivate you to reach it. The goal has to be exciting and challenging.
Proper goal setting is important as it will help you to hit the target without worrying about the deadline. If it doesn’t challenge you, it won’t change you. Set high goals and don’t stop until you reach them.
Your goal is your target and the clearer you see it, the more focused you will be in your path to reach it. Living with a clear intention will help you get rid of distractions and fly straight to your goals.
If you are clear and specific with what you want to achieve in life, you are already setting yourself up to win. You’ll do much better than most people who are blurred with their life’s purpose. If you have the sound wisdom of emotional and personal satisfaction, then it will be easy for you to achieve a goal-setting mindset.
It is time for you to take charge of your life and create the amazing success you want by intentionally moving toward your clear goal.
3. Learning Mindset
If you want to succeed, you must aim for growth. Change is possible if we believe in that. Start believing in your capacity to achieve greatness, and you’ll find that everything in your life will follow suit.
There are a couple of things I would like to point out when talking about growing through the learning process. Just because you are struggling, that doesn’t mean you’re not learning. Every failure has something to teach you, and everything you learn helps you grow.
If you are unwilling to learn, no one can help you. If you are determined to learn, no one can stop you.
Don’t Be Afraid to Fail
For many, it’s the fear of failure that stops them from achieving great things. However, that can be taken care of by learning new skills, getting better at certain tasks, and developing new approaches.
In the process of failure, consider all your mistakes as a way to grow. Sometimes, taking the risk may be scary, but remember that the more you fail, the more you will learn and grow.
Master New Skills
Mastering new skills can be very challenging, but you need to remember that it doesn’t happen overnight. We’re never as good as we possibly can be at a given skill as soon as we start practicing it. It takes work and time to master.
Whenever you embark on learning a new skill, stop putting pressure on yourself. Instead, understand that you will encounter struggles. Simply focus on your learning journey, starting small, and building your skills bit by bit from there. Progress will get visible over time, which reinforces your confidence when it comes to learning.
Be Curious
Being curious is a great characteristic that can be developed for a success mindset. Curiosity will open your mind to the many possibilities, focusing on what can be learned. It’s a great way to practice not being attached to just one way of doing things
To encourage curiosity, work to quiet your inner critical voice and act despite fears. Start by asking questions: How? Why? Why not?
According to Zimmerman, a thirst for knowledge is something that can never be quenched and should be a lifelong quest. She explained that having an endless supply of curiosity is key to seeing beyond what’s in front of you, discovering what you are truly capable of, and keeping yourself in a growth mindset.

Success is a Mindset. Let’s Learn How to Create a Positive One! Anonymous
Why success depends on your mindset
“How you think when you lose determines how long it will be until you win.” -Gilbert Keith Chesterton
The 8 Mindsets of Success – the what and the how
To ensure you’re always in the right frame of mind to be successful, learn these eight mindsets for success and notice the changes they bring to your life.
Remember that you are in charge and have everything you need to adopt these mindsets for success if you want to live an extraordinary life.
Self-Acceptance Mindset
Everything starts from within you. The better you get to know yourself, the better you’ll be able to adapt and grow beyond your wildest imagination.
This very popular quote by the unknown authors puts it the best:
“If an egg is broken by an outside force, life ends, but if broken by an inside force, life begins. Great things always begin from inside.”
Developing Self-Awareness
We are who we are with all the oddness, uniqueness, perks, and struggles. Successful people will always be aware of the tougher times as well as their reactions and behaviors to them.
If your life has no failures or no difficult times, then there is no growth or learning. Just know that suffering is optional. Successful people might struggle to achieve their goals, but they won’t suffer because they know the difference between struggling and suffering. This difference separates success from failure.
Trusting Your intuition
It’s important to know when is the right time for you to take action and trust your gut to help you choose so it’s fully aligned with your purpose. Your inner voice can be your best ally. Trusting yourself will help to move forward no matter the struggles.
Positive self-talk can motivate you in the face of a challenge and keep you focused. Here’s how to make it work for you:
Be realistic in your talk.
Find the “why” behind your talk.
Talk to yourself in the second person. It increases your willingness to perform and your actual performance.
Talk out loud. It makes you more likely to retain information and learn.
Believing in Yourself, Your Abilities, Skills, and Drive.
Patience goes hand in hand with self-belief as any success requires time. Impatience makes you lose concentration and gain self-doubt. Understand your strength and trust that they will provide when needed.
Embracing Your Passion
The passion will allow you to engage in fun so the path of success will be simple and easier. Take the time to understand your passion. It will help you at the time of difficulty.
Being passionate about what you do gives you that inner drive so you’re willing to produce better results.
Steve Jobs said it:
“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.”
Practicing Self-Compassion
It’s all about acknowledging mistakes and then forgiving yourself for them. Practicing self-compassion will help you to let go and move on from mistakes.
A great place to start is by saying “no” more often. It’s an enforcement mechanism to uphold your boundaries, and boundaries are for meeting your needs and upholding your priorities.

April 14, 2022 S9 E2 What is success? with Ravin Papiah
What is Success and Why are we all after it?
Success is the accomplishment of an aim or purpose. And it is good to know that there is a thin line between success and failure. To understand success, it is very important to understand failure first!
So, why is success important to human beings?
Success provides confidence, security, a sense of well-being, growth and achievement, the ability to contribute at a greater level, success gives hope, and success provides leadership! Without success, everything cease to survive – humans, communities, companies, goals, dreams, and even entire civilisations cease to exist!
What success is all about?
In one of his blogs, Grant Cardone, Forbes Top 10 Most Influentials CEO's, said:
The last couple of years of economic turmoil should have made it obvious that we all underestimated how much success is needed and how valuable it actually is to our survival and well-being.
The most important thing you have to know about success is that:
Success is IMPORTANT
Success is YOUR obligation
Success is your DUTY

How do we get success?
Success is a mindset!
If there is no such thing as success, then there is no such thing as DESIRE, and if there is no desire, the entire world revolves about comfort and conformity, and it does not lead us anywhere.
The multitude, millions and billions of achievements, inventions and visions that have brough the world to what it is today would have NEVER happened if human beings were not aiming towards success in their endeavours, whether thriving towards discobering the ultimate drugs to a life-threatening illness or disease like the covid19 pandemic or finding a suitable transport system to move from one place to another, or from one country to another etc…
Without the aim of success, there would be no progress of any kind, parents would have no persuasive reasons enough to send their kids to school or companies would have no arguments to ask people to come to work.
Success is the fuel of progress, it alights the fire of curiosity and fans the flames of research and progress.
Success is vital for survival and beyond!
TO achieve success in life, we need to:
Build a Growth Mindset
Improve our Emotional Intelligence
Pay attention to our own emotions
Manage our emotions
Listen to others
Develop mental toughness
Believe in ourself
Keep trying
Set goals
Find support
Strengthen your willpower
Distraction during your moments of weakness
Practice your will power
Focus on intrinsic motivations
Challenge yourself
Stay curious
Take control
Don’t fear competition
Nurture traits linked to High Potential
Conscientiousness of your actions (consequences and other people’s perspectives)
Accepting of ambiguity (willing to change, not fearing the unfamiliar, valuing diversity, challenging your perspectives, considering opinions and ideas of other people)
Capable of adjustments
Courageous
Curiosity (relating to your interests, learning new things)
Competitiveness (focus on your own imporovements, compete with yourself, being happy when others succeed)

April 14, 2022 S9 E1 What is mindset?
E1 What is mindset?
Nothing is IMPOSSIBLE! The word itself says “I’M POSSIBLE” – Audrey Hepburn
Why do we need to understand what is mindset?
The dictionary defines Mindset as a mental attitude or inclination. I love this word ‘attitude’. It tells us all about the kind of mindset we ‘decide’ to have when we rise up early in the morning or when we go to bed at night and all throughout our day. You may wonder, I said ‘decide’! Yes, decide, because this is something we decide even when we think we did not! Because even not deciding is a decision! When we let our mind wander, we LET our mind wander, that is we have decided to let our mind wander – something we can control, as we can also NOT LET our mind wander, we can decide to FOCUS our mind on the things that matter to us, like positivity, belief, faith, patience, perseverance, happiness, joy, living, growing, achieving, succeeding, etc etc etc But I agree, this is NOT easy. IT is not easy to have a positive mindset – it takes WORK! (483 words)
What you need to know
The Mindset is made up of two words – MIND and SET!
Which simply says that you can SET your mind to work for you…or against you!
Carol S. Dweck, in her book “MINDSET” talks about the two mindsets: (1) the fixed mindset and (2) the growth mindset.
What you need to do
How to develop a growth mindset
Researchers have found that it is possible to promote a growth mindset by teaching students about neuroscience evidence showing the brain is malleable and improves through effort. There are several ways to develop a growth mindset:
1. Realize that, scientifically, you can improve
One of the most direct methods of fostering a growth mindset is by understanding our brains are built to grow and learn. By challenging yourself with new experiences, you can form or strengthen neural connections to ‘rewire’ your brain which, in turn, can make you smarter.
2. Remove the ‘fixed mindset’ inner voice
Many people have a negative inner voice that acts against a growth mindset. Try to flip thoughts such as ‘I can’t do this’, to ‘I can do this if I keep practicing’ to nurture a growth mindse
3. Reward the process
Although society often rewards those who achieve excellent outcomes, this can work against a growth mindset. Instead, reward the process and the effort exerted. One study by Dr. Carol Dweck showed that rewarding effort over results on a maths game improved performance.
4. Get feedback
Try and seek feedback on your work. When learners are provided with progressive feedback about what they did well and where they can improve, it creates motivation to keep going. Feedback is also associated with a pleasurable dopamine response and enhances a growth mindset.
5. Get out of your comfort zone
Being brave enough to leave your comfort zone can help foster a growth mindset. When faced with a challenge, try to choose the harder option that will allow you to grow.
6. Accept failure as part of the process
Failure, setbacks, and initial confusion are all part of the learning process! When trying something new, see occasional ‘failures’ as positive learning opportunities—try to enjoy the discovery process along the way.
The Wrap Up
The growth mindset is the belief that intelligence and ability can be nurtured through learning and effort. Growth-minded people see setbacks as a necessary part of the learning process and bounce back from ‘failure’ by increasing effort. This mindset has positive effects on motivation and academic performance in learners. The limited evidence from neuroscience suggests the brains of people with a growth mindset are more active than those with a fixed mindset–particularly in areas associated with error-correction and learning.
