Fulfillment 1
Seize the day! (Principle- Gratitude)
Most people in our world wake up and start running because the race has begun with yet another day to exist routinely. I say NO. Take some time when you wake up. That should be the highest, happiest point of your life each day. Let us make the principles practical. Be grateful that you have woken up today, because many did not wake up today. Just this simple thought and idea for action will change the energy of your day. The very fact that
Fulfillment 2
Unleash my potential everyday! (Principle - Rejuvenation and Continuous Improvement)
I always tell people Perfection is a myth because the day we are perfect is when we are in the box again. If I am not in the box, then I need to continuously improve for the better and strive for excellence. This is the miracle within us.
Fulfillment 3
Live a life of purpose as a purpose of Life! (Principle - Imagination)
Imagine if each of us over the years and centuries had thought and acted on one question How can I leave the world better than when I came into it, then we all would have a world that was not broken and had a better world for future generations. We must do this not because it is altruistic or selfish but because our children and future generations will also live in the same world. Thus if we are creating a legacy of a better world, it shall benefit our children too.
Fulfillment 4
Who am I (Principle - Integrity)
Whenever I ask people this question most do not know the answer. This one question is a multi zillion dollar industry and that is the reason why the world has so many gurus and ashrams. And like I always joke if any of these gurus can tell you who you are be very careful as they are misleading you.
Fulfillment 5
Create SMART Goals! (Principle - Resourcefulness)
Whenever I ask people if they have a vision and purpose of their life most say NO. Vision and Purpose gives us a direction in life to know where we want to go in our lifetime. The problem with most of the world is that we are running very fast without knowing where we are going. The day we discover our purpose, we know what we need to do in our life and that sets us on the path of self actualization to realize our GOALS.
Fulfillment 6
Be Happy with what you have! (Principle - Contentment)
All we want is everything. We want more in our lives without understanding our needs and thus end up running in the wrong direction and living other people's lives. We must map our needs and create our own desires rather than desiring what is advertised or what the neighbor has.
Fulfillment 7
Learn from suffering and adversity! (Principle - Passion)
There is not a single person in the world, who is bereft of suffering and adversity. Each person has their share of suffering and pain and hence in a way we all break at sometime and are broken people. When we break, most break-down, only some break- through. That is Passion. Passion finds it's origin in the Latin Word Pati, which means suffering. If we not ready to suffer for someone or something, then we are not passionate about it.
Fulfillment 8
Trust and Respect the self and create a positive aura around you! (Principle- Dignity)
A lot of people in the world are lacking in trust and self - respect. One can only respect others when one respects the self. When we do not respect ourselves, we end up doing things which are wrong, dishonest and harmful towards the self and others. When one has robust self respect, one always does right and treats the self and others with dignity.
Fulfillment 9
Learn to be light hearted! (Principle - Humour)
The problem with a lot of people in our world is that they lack a sense of humour. They take life too seriously and never see the lighter side of life. There is old saying Do not take life too seriously, you will never get out of it alive anyway .

Fulfillment 10
Be kind to yourself and to others! (Principle- Compassion)
One of the biggest concern which most people have is the feeling of bitterness and resentment within. People have just not learnt how to let go, forgive and let be. Most take their bitterness and resentment to their graves without realising that all their bitterness never even affected the other person and only poisoned the self. We must learn to forgive and let go.
