Success And Karmic Lessons

Now listen up, Doris, Dahlia, Andy, and Gus—I’ve been thinking. Yes, I do that quite often, contrary to what your Uncle Bala says! We’re all out here trying to “make it” in life, aren’t we? Everyone’s running around like headless chickens, chasing success, but let me tell you something: success isn’t just about making money or collecting gold watches. Oh no! It’s about bringing together the four pillars of life—Intention, Thinking, Words, and Action.

Before you roll your eyes, Andy, hear me out. This isn’t some mumbo jumbo I picked up from reading too many books on spirituality (although I do have a weakness for those). This is about practical, everyday living. It’s about aligning yourself. You can’t just intend one thing and then think something else, say another, and do the opposite. No, no, no! That’s a recipe for disaster. You need to be like a well-cooked dosa—all the elements in perfect harmony.

First off, let’s talk Intention. When you start something, ask yourself, “Why am I doing this?” It doesn’t matter if you’re setting up a new business or trying to finish your pile of laundry. Your intentions are the foundation. If you begin a business just because everyone else is doing it or because it seems like the trendy thing, you’re already on shaky ground. It’s like starting to make a cake without deciding if it’s chocolate or vanilla. What happens? You end up with a mess that nobody wants to eat. Your intention is what flavors everything you do, so you need to make sure it’s clear and true to you.

Now, Thinking. You’ve got your intention clear, right? But what about your thoughts? Doris, don’t give me that look! I can see the gears turning. You’re wondering how you’re supposed to control all those thoughts buzzing around in your head. I know it’s tricky, but it’s necessary. If you’re thinking one thing but feeling something else, it’s like trying to drive a car with one foot on the accelerator and one on the brake. You’ll either burn out the engine or go nowhere. Gus, you especially need to hear this—if you’re going to start that app business, your mind needs to back up your heart. You’ve got to feel like you’re already successful, even before the first user logs in.

Then comes Words. Oh, words, words, words. They’re powerful little buggers. Don’t ever underestimate what comes out of your mouth. You might have the best intentions and all your thoughts in line, but if you’re speaking negatively or talking down your ideas, it’s like cooking the perfect stew but adding way too much salt at the end. No one will want to eat it, not even the dogs. What you say, how you say it, matters. So, speak about your plans with confidence, even if you’re faking it till you make it. And be kind, especially to yourselves—none of this “I’m not good enough” nonsense. You’ve got Aunt Selvi’s permission to be amazing!

Finally, we come to Action. Oh, how easy it is to dream and talk big, but do you know what really moves the needle? Doing! You’ve got to get off your behind and take action, my dears. Dahlia, you can’t just talk about wanting to get fit while you’re lounging on the sofa with a bag of chips. Gus, Andy, don’t think your app is going to build itself while you watch cricket. Your actions have to match up with your intentions, thoughts, and words. Otherwise, it’s all smoke and mirrors.

Now, let me tell you a little secret I learned from Sir Roderick Glossop—you know, that psychiatrist fellow I’m always mentioning. He’s quite the odd duck, but he’s onto something. He once told me that when a person feels out of whack—like when their life or business is going topsy-turvy—it’s often because their personality isn’t integrated. That means they’re out of alignment with themselves. You see, success depends on staying in tune with all these pillars we’ve talked about. If one pillar’s out of place, the whole structure wobbles like a house of cards.

And let me throw in a bit of spice here—the energy of wealth is, in fact, a feminine force! Oh yes, Lakshmi herself, the goddess of wealth, controls this energy. If you’re out here disrespecting the women in your life—your mothers, sisters, wives—well, good luck attracting prosperity! She’s not going to look kindly on that. Your relationships, especially with the women in your life, need to be harmonious for your business to thrive. So, be kind, especially to Aunt Selvi, all right?

And you know what? If you ever feel like your life’s gone off track, like maybe one of those pillars is shaky, there’s a little trick to realign yourself. It’s called hypnotherapy. Oh yes, don’t look so shocked! It’s not just for making people cluck like chickens. Hypnotherapy can help you get in touch with those deep, subconscious patterns that are holding you back. It’s like giving your mind a good spring cleaning—dusting off those old fears and sweeping in fresh ideas. Hypnotherapy helps you see clearly where your intentions, thoughts, words, and actions have gone out of sync, and it helps you put them right back where they belong.

So, my darlings, take a deep breath, straighten your shoulders, and start paying attention to those four pillars. Success isn’t just about the money or the flashy titles. It’s about feeling like you’re in tune with yourself and the world around you. And if you ever need help getting back into alignment, you know who to call—Aunt Selvi, of course.
