If you are currently living the life of your dreams and nyou are the person you always wished to be, I applaudnyou. You can stop reading and go out and enjoy your nwonderful life.
But, if you have not achieved every goal on your things nto do before you die list. If you realize that personally nyou have more room to grow. And if there are dreams and ndesires you still need to give birth to, continue tonread on.
Now back to my original question. Is Where You Are –
Who You Are? On the road to success and the life of yourndreams you will encounter obstacles. You will have nsetbacks and adversities.
When you experience the challenges and disappointments nin life it is important to remember that where you are, nis not who you are. You may have recently had what some npeople would consider a huge failure (where you are), nbut you are not the failure (who you are).
I made some stupid decisions that resulted in me losingnmy family, job, apartment and self respect. (where I was)
But deep down inside I knew I had the power to rise abovenmy circumstance (who I was). It is possible that you nhave simply made some bad choices.
At some point in our lives we all have made bad choices.
Those choices were made based on our decision making nprocess at that time.
It was established on where we were at that moment in ntime (where you are). It had nothing to do with who we nwould become as a result of the maturing or learning nprocess (who you are).
Picture this if you will. You are driving a brand new
Rolls Royce. You make a left turn when you should have nmade a right turn. As a result of making the wrong turn ndoes that change the fact that you are still driving a nnew Rolls Royce? Of course not, it means you are driving nthe new Rolls in the wrong direction.
As human beings we sometime allow others to devalue nus because we have made some wrong turns in life. To add ninsult to injury we degrade ourselves. Because of a nbad choice, a wrong turn we mentally go from driving nnew Rolls Royce to driving a beat up Pinto.
When in fact the only thing that has really changed nis the direction in which you are traveling. You are nstill driving a new Rolls Royce. You are still the God ngifted champion (who you are) you were prior to making nthe wrong turn (where you are).
Take a good look at where you are right now. If where nyou are doesn’t match who you are, make a left turn, nright turn or if necessary make a u-turn.
Deep down inside you know the essential adjustments nyou need to make to get back on course. I would likento offer you a piece of advice.
Pull over and get direction. Getting a coach or mentor nwill not only expedite you getting back on the right ntrack. It will also increase your cruising speed which nwill enable you to reach your destinations much faster.

What does it mean to be selfless, and how can someone become more selfless in life?
According to the spiritual science of Akram Vignan, the meaning of âselflessâ is to live oneâs life for the sole purpose of serving others, by whatever means one can and according to oneâs skill set and ability; and to do so without expecting anything whatsoever in return.

How to Donate?
Worrying that your money will be used up cannot preoccupy you. Whatever money is spent is fine. The spending of money is encouraged because it destroys your greed and allows you to keep giving. Upyoga is awareness. When you do something auspicious or give to charity, give with the awareness and intent that others will benefit from your donation. Give anonymously in order to avoid fame. That is called giving with awareness! That is called upyoga. There are some people who refu
