Hello dear friends,

This is Mohanji.

Today I want to talk about an interesting question which came to me or probably a remark.

The remark was like this.

A young lady she wrote to me,

Mohanji I have been observing you for some days now or some weeks now.

Everybody have 24 hours but you seem to have 48 hours.

How is that possible?

So I thought okay this is the subject which I should talk about today.

Well I also have only 24 hours just like you.

But how can we make a 24 hours 48 hours means double the time.

That's when number one clear purpose,

Number two lack of clutter which means clarity and number three a definite activity based on definite timeline.

That means I will complete this within this time.

So it's not rocket science.

It's very simple.

Means we have a day,

We have a full day 24 hours in which we are doing so many things.

We wake up in the morning and now we wake up early in the morning with early birds club.

Then we think about so many things what should we do now.

But just imagine if you had made a list of things you would like to do today,

Yesterday,

How will it be?

You wake up in the morning,

You have your chores of EBC and then you open your diary or book and look at it and say okay this is what I must accomplish today.

Within what time?

So we have clarity about the day.

We have a method means we know what to do.

You can actually add lots of things in the book saying that this is the person I should contact for this particular purpose like that.

So we can do all these things.

We can by just a bit of pre-planning we can do wonders.

Have you ever thought about it?

Because many people who are kind of lazy in the day,

They have not planned well.

Not because they are incompetent.

I have observed that.

All of us have the same time.

All of us have the same power or the caliber but clarity is different.

I have seen huge clarity in successful people.

When a subject comes to them,

They immediately see the length,

Width,

Height and all the vital statistics of that particular situation.

So that helps them.

So that is the training.

You got to train yourself to do that.

For which you need to start with having a discipline.

So clarity removes clutter.

This is the main thing which we must remember.

Why there is clutter?

Because we have not planned our day.

Then somebody may ask me,

I don't have a clarity about what I should do tomorrow.

Then start with something small.

Decide to give a difference in this world in your own way.

Like for example helping the poor,

Doing something good for the people or you learning a new thing.

Anything you can do.

Otherwise I always say the platform that Mohanji platform that we have in the world,

Called Mohanji platform.

It is for everybody.

A lot of people get fulfillment through that because you are able to help people,

You are able to guide people,

You are able to give a proper structure and purpose for people.

All this is possible.

And it is a question of opening the eyes and seeing it,

Witnessing it,

Accepting it and merging with it.

So this is all possible.

Everything is possible.

So have you ever considered looking at yourself deeply before the EBC?

I think many of us just slept our time off and then we woke up,

Then we are trying to restart ourselves through a coffee,

Through certain newspaper or something and this is actually like you are dragging your own body,

You are dragging yourself.

But we don't have to drag ourselves.

We are amazing personalities.

We are unique.

We have great power on earth.

We have a lot of possibilities on earth.

We must explore it.

So I think that all of us have the same caliber.

I don't have extra time.

You don't have extra time.

We all have the same time.

But what we can do with this time,

That makes the difference.

Are we wasting the time?

Are we bored?

Actually I don't even know the word boredom because I don't have that.

I don't get bored.

I am very very active because actually this is what makes me happy.

I have chosen to be happy.

We can choose to be happy for which then there is no boredom.

You don't have to fill your space with activity.

That is actually a very sad state.

If you have to fill your space or your time with activity,

That is a sad state.

But you can be in a happy state by being in charge of the time.

Means every time given to you,

Use it well and never say die.

With this thought,

I would like to leave you and let this be your thought of the day.

Please digest it.

Please ponder on it.

This is your food for thought which I put on your plate.

Now we will see you again next time.

But let this thought be digested well because it is very important thought.

And this could be life changing thought.

You must write down or you try writing down what you want to do tomorrow,

Tonight.

If you have a tomorrow,

You already have a plan and that plan will guide you.

And that plan should not be a small plan.

If A did not work,

It should be B.

If B did not work,

It should be C.

So A,

B,

C.

Alternatives as well.

And timelines.

You should do everything with timeline.

Not that I can do anything any day.

Not like that.

You should do everything within a timeline.

When you do things within a timeline,

You will feel a great energy,

Power.

And if that timeline could not be accomplished or means if it did not fall within that timeline,

Doesn't matter.

You push to another timeline.

But again,

You keep the purpose clear.

Let the clarity be there.

I will achieve this within this timeline.

If you have that determination,

Whole nature will support you.

Whole nature will guide you.

All nature will be with you.

The world will be with you.

Existence will accomplish it for you.

If you create accomplishment,

Lots of love.

This is Mohanji.

Wow! Thank you for this clear, practical guidance. Clarity and Timelines. I do not have big clarity at the moment, but as you suggest I can find clarity of purpose in small actions for now. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ

Clear, simple instruction. I used to do this, but at some point a few years ago, I stopped. I had even been taking the last 15 minutes of my workday to write my next day's work plans, but that stopped, too. I have been struggling to get back to a calmer, more peaceful, more effective and efficient way of living, particularly with a lot of new things coming into my life almost at the same time right now. I actually have a number of decluttering/organizing/business/school/professional books scattered on my bed right now as I tried to prioritize my plan of action to tackle each area. I chose this talk to listen to as I took a break, hoping hearing a voice other than my own would help calm my mind and shine a light on how to proceed. This talk absolutely did not disappoint! I welcome the reminder of what worked so well for me in the past, and the extension that for me, planning time-frames is especially helpful. Rather than returning to opening any of those books, I am putting on some music here that helps me focus, and I am about to reconstruct my goals, reverse engineering my path to success, and outlining a plan of action to make progress and achieve those goals. Thank you for sharing such an important insight and reminder for us here, and as kindly and succinctly as ever. I see you and the light within you. Be well. ๐Ÿคฒ๐Ÿปโค๏ธ๐Ÿคฒ๐Ÿป
