The ONE Invisible Code: An Uncommon Formula To Breakthrough Mediocrity And Rise To The Next Level

by Sharat Sharma

There are two most important steps to succeed at anything - the first step and the last step.

Remember, the only religion of every dreamer is ‘faith’!

Don’t downgrade your dream to fit your reality. Upgrade your faith to match your destiny!

When you experience a phase of no result or inconsistent results, and when you feel like giving up on your dream, you have three options: The first option is to worry and give up. This is what most people choose. The second option is to keep trying. This is what most self-help books advocate. They say when the going gets tough, the tough get going. Every time you experience a tough situation, you must persevere more. Let me tell you a truth: perseverance without intelligence is a perfect recipe for failure.

Here is the third option: whenever you fail, you learn. You be more strategic and strive harder in every next big step you take. While doing this, let your spirit be high. Be a warrior, not a worrier.

Steve Jobs said it right. “You cannot connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward. You have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.”

“Every ‘mess’ we experience has a ‘mess’age! It changes our lives only if we are willing to listen and learn from the message.”

In a world where limitations are discussed over possibilities, mastery is the path chosen by only a few.

Acceptance of facts is a pre-condition to action. Non-acceptance is an ideal condition for the reaction.

“Dream is not the thing you see in sleep but is that thing that doesn’t let you sleep.”

You can avoid pain and let it destroy you or endure the pain and let it guide you.

Another fact that you must know is that when we deny taking responsibility, we blame, complain, and criticize everything. You feel like a victim, and it further drags you into mediocrity.”

There are two forces that shape your life—aspiration of the future and our current mindset.

“Well, with the survivor mindset, you do start with big aspirations, but when you face challenges, you get busier in controlling the challenges. These challenges demand you to change, but then you are reluctant to change.

the grass is greener on the other side is a half-truth; the complete truth is the grass is greener where you water it.”

The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would solve most of the world’s problems.

The one who conquers himself is greater than the one who conquers a thousand men in a battle. ~ Buddha

Without aspiration, one starts nothing. Without work, one finishes nothing.

“SMART goal-setting is an amazing system to set goals. It is a very logical and systematic way of setting goals, and it helps you set Specific, Measurable, Actionable, Relevant, and Time-bound goals.

Faith is all about believing. You don’t know how it will happen, but you know it will.
