Welcome to Mohanji Speaks.

Hello friends,

Hope you are doing well.

Today I would like to talk to you about an interesting question a 10 year old boy asked me.

This was a few months ago.

He asked me a question which is very relevant in the world of management.

I will tell you what he asked.

There are numerous animals in the forest.

There are lions,

Tigers,

Elephants and so many beings in the water.

Still why is the lion considered as the king?

Very simple question.

Lion is not the fastest animal,

Not the biggest animal,

Nor the smartest animal.

Then why is lion the king?

There are faster animals,

Taller animals and bigger animals and smarter animals.

But lion is still the king.

Why is it so?

The answer is attitude.

Attitude makes a person a king.

Lion never believes that he is small,

He is weak,

He is not tall,

He is not good or smart.

He never believes that.

He believes he is the king.

What you believe makes you.

If you believe that you are the ruler,

You are the ruler.

And if your attitude is that man is better than me or he is smarter than me,

He is taller than me or he is faster than me,

Then we will lose confidence.

This is exactly what happens when a lion attacks an animal.

The animal might be larger than him but the attitude of lion is that he has already won the war.

That's the right attitude.

In life we have to have that attitude.

Not to win over people but win over our own mind.

Self confidence.

Yes,

We can do it.

And whenever we have that feeling,

Yes we can do it,

We don't care about the opponent or we don't care about the obstacles on our way.

We don't care about anything and this should be our attitude.

We can win everything if we have the right attitude.

And the right attitude,

The smarter approach should not be to overpower people,

To conquer people or capture something.

That's negative.

It is to win over our own blocking mind.

It should be to win our own inner obstacles.

All the obstacles live inside us,

Not outside.

Outside are just expressions.

We are projecting them outside.

And we limit ourselves by being afraid of obstacles.

Oh,

I can't do that,

I can't do this.

This person is better than me.

He is smarter.

He can do it.

I cannot.

This is all created by us.

Actually it's not the truth.

The truth is that you can win everything if you win yourself.

This is very important for anybody.

Whatever you are in this world,

You should know this.

Because think about the lion.

He is not afraid of anybody.

He is fully confident.

And he is not attacking anybody if he doesn't want to.

Or he does not just pick up a fight for the sake of fight.

He leaves everybody alone.

But at the same time,

When he is hungry,

He will hunt.

And he will kill.

And he will eat.

That's the attitude.

So unwanted actions can be avoided.

Unwanted discussions,

Arguments,

All those things can be avoided.

Practice silence in that space.

And then do what you have to do at the right time,

In the right speed,

With the right attitude.

Here the thing is attitude.

We have the right attitude.

We can change anything,

And especially our inner state.

A few years ago,

In the mid 2000s,

So 2008-2009 time,

Towards the end of 2000,

In one of my programs there was a small girl,

Around 6,

7 or 10 years old.

And after the program was over,

She came to me with her mother.

So I asked,

What's a small girl doing in my program?

So she said,

Mohanji,

I heard you are very powerful.

So I said,

How do you know I'm powerful?

Who told you?

Then she said,

Mother told me.

I said,

If I am powerful or not,

It doesn't matter.

But what do you want from me?

So she said,

Can you transfer my maths teacher from my school?

I do not like her.

So I laughed.

I said,

If I change the math teacher,

The school will change me from here to heaven.

So I can't do that,

But I can help you.

But you have to do something for me.

Promise me that you will participate in all the school programs and win prizes.

Participate with a lot of conviction,

Confidence and win prizes.

I'll support you for that also.

And I'll support you in your mathematics.

You'll be able to perform in your maths classes better.

This I will promise you.

And also I promise you to support in your programs,

But you should participate in everything.

Don't just shy away from all things.

So she said,

Sure,

I'll do that.

Then she started participating and then she started achieving great results.

A few years later,

I met her and she told me that she was the head student of the school and she had won many prizes.

She won elocution competition,

All those things.

So here the attitude shift made the difference from a shy,

Small girl to a confident head of students.

This is the transformation.

Just one equation changed here,

Attitude.

So if you change your attitude,

We can make a great difference in our life.

And there you can think about how a lion handles its life.

Main thing is that be confident with life.

Be confident about yourself.

Adversities will be there.

Difficulties will be there.

Mental blocks will be there.

People will be there.

Opinions will be there.

Concepts,

Prejudices,

Attacks,

Even crucifixion might be there,

But you can rise above everything and shine bright.

This you have within you.

So attitude matters and the right attitude can create miracles in your life and in the world around you.

So attitude matters.

Think about it and discuss about it and make a difference in your own life.

Let you shine bright.

Remember,

We all are children of brightness.

This you should remember.

We are not children of darkness,

You know,

So we have to shine bright as children of brightness and we have it and don't wear the clothes of darkness and think you are not good enough.

You are good enough.

It's not about your color complexion,

Your beauty,

Your perfection.

It's not about that.

It's your attitude.

End of the day.

If you have the right attitude,

You can shine bright and you will.

Lots of love.

This is M.

G.

For you.
