Tips for guaranteed SUCCESS in anything you do:

Hello my beautiful people! It is a lovely morning as I write this post.. Today I decided to share some of my secrets for success which if you follow will surely guarantee success in all your endeavors. I have held some seminars and lectures on 'How to motivate yourself to succeed' and over the years i have developed some strategies that have worked for me as well as my friends and co workers in achieving their goals.  But before we discuss the strategies to succeed , I want you to firmly believe that your performance is not only based on your ability but also your motivation. And here in this post I will be mainly concentrating on sharing with you some of my best motivational strategies. So without any further delay, let us begin!

The first thing which we need to do is change our approach when we are struggling to achieve something. Here I am reminded of Sir Isaac Newton's First Law of motion which says: Body at rest tend to remain at rest : some people simply are not motivated enough to take any action. So the question now is how to get started? For starters, you can simply set a deadline like I am not going to sleep or rest till I find a job or for students " finish this chapter"! But setting a deadline is a short term strategy and if you are constantly under pressure it can soon become demotivating and that is not what we want right? There can be some reasons as to why you are not taking any action and waiting for things to happen on their own. These reasons can be A)Habit B) No means at hand C) perceived cost is too high D) You may be lying to yourself about what you want!!!!

Who said you have to be the best in everything you do? Not being athletic enough or smart enough or artistic enough or talented enough, doesn't mean you can't play a sport or make the honor roll or take amazing/artistic photos or sing/dance. And if you believe you can't do something because you aren't good enough, well then you believe in nonsense, which is holding you back!  Let me share my little story with you guys. There is a prestigious exam in my country clearing which is no joke! A lot of fellows from my class did not clear it after so many attempts! But I was determined to succeed and I not only cracked it but also got a very good rank. It is not that I am super intelligent or something but I had this strong notion in my head that things will happen the way I want them to happen. Our brain begins to believe what we want it to believe. Had I thought I cant do it just because other people failed, I would have surely failed. Rather I thought I would surely succeed no matter what and I didn't even once think about my failure. This led me to success and there was no looking back. 

Another key concept with success is commitment. Commitment is absolutely necessary in order to achieve goals. You can say you will do something, but until you actually make a decision to commit to it and follow through with the relevant steps, you will most likely not see progress and achievement towards that desired outcome. 

Strategies to succeed:

 1. Visualize you success:
Think about your goal, how will you feel after achieving it? Who all will rejoice with you after your success? Trust your gut feeling when it says "You can do it:!

2. Create healthy competition with yourself:
One of my favorite approaches! If someone doesn't believe you can do it, then prove that person wrong. How? By showing them that you can achieve that goal, and even exceed that goal. Go after exceeding your expectations and the expectations of those who don't support you. Show yourself and them otherwise!  Repeat this mantra in your mind" I am going to step up and prove everyone wrong".

3. Don't forget to reward yourself along the way:
You should reward yourself along every little step you achieve towards your goal. This will keep you motivated. Have a theme song to get you psyched about the opportunity and the steps towards your goal! 

Having said all this it is not only visualization, theme song and the mantra alone which will make you succeed! You will need to follow through with the necessary actions to achieve your goal.So get up, get started! A whole new world of opportunities and success awaits you!!!!

Donna Karan Cashmere Mist perfume review:

Hello lovelies! I am back with yet another product review and this time it is a perfume which I absolutely adore. It is 'Donna Karan Cashmere mist'. I love trying different perfumes and I use them quite often. My favorites include Organza Givenchy and Estee Lauder Tuberose Gardenia. Last week my friend, coming from Canada gifted me this beautiful bottle of perfume. She thought I would really love it and bingo! She was right .. I loved it soooo much. "Lovely" was my first reaction! It is a rich gorgeous fragrance that is mild yet stays on for the whole day. 

 
I mean it is not overpowering in your face but is impactful and special. One word of caution though, if you are into fruity, bubblegummy, plastic scents the this one is surely not for you. This perfume says.... Caring , Tasteful , comforting, subtle and naturally beautiful. The dry down is fantastic! It has soon become my fav fragrance by far.

 
.

 
It is just warm and powdery and has a very nice feel good factor to it with a beautiful musky sandalwood that lasts all day. It is a timeless, ageless fragrance which is good for everyone! I am that sort of a person who will get headaches easily from strong overpowering fragrances! But this one to my surprise is so gentle that I will surely repurchase it! So if you are looking for a nice, powdery , floral scent with a lot of musky woody suede then this Cashmere Mist is definitely for you!  Have you tried it yet? Which one is your favorite perfume?

For instance , in last December the famous singer and rapper Honey Singh and Badshah were slapped with charges of obscenity by Anand Pal Singh Jabbal, a resident of Nagpur.The accused believed that they were giving a bad social message through their vulgar lyrics. 

Honey Singh was at the police station for a couple of minutes and he reportedly refused to submit a voice sample to go with the one collected from the video. "We are now going to submit the panchnama before the court for further direction," The times of India quoted senior PI RD Nikam.

Honey Singh was at the peak of his career when he stopped making music all of a sudden. According to speculations, he is just taking a break while others say it is because of a tiff between the singer and Shah Rukh Khan. But his wife Shalini Singh rubbishes all these reports saying that he was unwell and was advised complete bed rest by the doctors.

Lakme Eyeconic Black Vs Green kajal:

Hello ladies. In this post I will be reviewing Lakme Eyeconic Kajal in black and will be comparing it with the green counterpart and finally which on is better out of the two. Now to begin with, I love eyeliner , be it pencil, liquid or gel. My never ending love for eyeliners always take me on a hunt to search for the best eyeliner. Plus kajal is one such thing which I always wear, yes even at home on a lazy Sunday afternoon too! Lakme Eyeconic kajals are really super duper pigmented and one stroke is all it takes for the perfect look! 

These kajals come in a classic black pencil form and are very easy to use and carry. They are non messy and glide smoothly. Being highly pigmented a little of the product is used and one pencil finishes in 2-3 months. The best part is its staying capacity. It stays on for the whole day and even the next , I mean till the time you don't take it off intentionally it will remain there. 

I bought the green version because I wanted a change from the same old black look. Green also looks nice but for me personally not on the waterline though. You can use it on the upper eyelid for a pop of color. It smudges more often than black one and gives a tired look to your eyes. If you know what I mean... 
I love the classic black kajal and I have purchased it 6 times while I have still not finished the green one and don't intend to repurchase it either. As for me the Lakme Eyeconic Black is 9 on 10 whereas the Green is just 4 on 10. If you want a slight color on your lids and that too occasionally, you can consider purchasing it. For the black one I would say I lovvvveeee it and keep buying it again and again and You too should try it once!

Kareena Kapoor aged 34 says there is no need to hide your age!

Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor Khan says that she is proud to be 34 and feels that the key to aging gracefully lies in "letting the lines be" and not worrying about them. The Ra One actress feels that ageing is a natural and wonderful phenomena.  "I hate it when I look at somebody and know that they have tried to cover the lines," Kareena told IANS in an interview. 

Kareena finds men with lines on their face more appealing and intelligent. The same goes for women. According to her Maharani Gayatri Devi was very graceful and she aged with grey hair which looked very elegant. Kareena who is the daughter in law of timeless beauty Sharmila Tagore feels people should not try very hard to hide their age and laugh lines.

There’s a notion that “Never ask a woman her age”, but Kareena asks “What’s wrong in saying your age”.“I don’t want to be an 18-year-old or a 22-year-old girl. I am just done with that phase of my life. That is why I don’t even try to be 22,” added the actress.
“I’m 34 but I’m still endorsing an ice-cream, which people enjoy from an age of 6 to 60. That is an achievement in itself,” she said.

The beautiful and gorgeous Kareena feels that each brand an actor endorses reflects his personality. That is why she would never endorse meat, alcohol or cigarettes.  Talking about her filmy career Kareena is all set to leave for Punjab to shoot for her upcoming film 'Udtaa Punjab'. She says the milieu of the film is based on drug busting in Punjab and will leave “everyone shocked”. 

She would also be seen in Salman Khan's 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan'.
