# The Turning Point

Ashok Kumawat

This book contains 45 chapters.

Think about accomplishing only the goals you have set. If you focus on more than one goal at once, your chances of success are slim.

When you set only one goal, then your brain tries to fulfill that goal in every way. In this state your mind becomes focused on a single goal.

Now imagine that you are standing in a floating boat. You see two islands simultaneously. Someone tells you that on one island there is a box full of gold and on another island there is a silver box. So what will you do?

Will you pick up those boxes from both islands simultaneously?

”No ”

You will pick one box first and then the second one.

That is, you cannot accomplish two goals simultaneously. First you have to complete one goal, then the other goal.

So keep one goal at a time. Focus your attention on only one goal at a time.

If you want to be successful, you have to remain focused.

## Chapter 1. The beginning of life Desire

Our desire is the basis of our entire life. Our actions are decided on the basis of our desires.

Is not that the truth?

Let me give an example – if I want to get the highest marks in my class, what will I do? I will definitely study more.

Therefore, it is clear that our actions are done according to our wishes.

But it is not clear yet that desire is the basis of our whole life. Imagine a small plant drying up. But you immediately add water to that plant. After some time, the plant recovers and grows rapidly.

Did it start growing only by you watering the plant?

“No”

There was already a desire to live in that plant, so when you add water, the plant immediately absorbs it and continues its growth. If the plant had no desire for life, would it have survived its life?

Therefore, it is clear that desire is the basis of living life. Therefore, life does not exist without desires.

So will you get your destination just by wishing?

“No”

Hundreds of desires arise in you in your daily life. Are all those desires fulfilled?

“No”

but why?

Tell me one thing. Do you want to be rich Your answer is “yes”. So do you only want to be rich in this whole world? “No” |

In this world, billions of people want to become rich, but only few people can become rich. Some people have their wishes fulfilled.

Have you ever thought why only those people could succeed?

If you think carefully, you will find that you never get the destination which is not very important for you, while you definitely get that which is very important for you, for which you put full power.

A lot of desires arise in your mind in your daily life but it is not fulfilled as long as it is very important for you.

So it is clear that –

(1). To have a life it is necessary to have a will.

(2). To get to the destination, it is necessary for the desire to be important.


### Chapter2. Goal Setting

Have you set your goal? If yes – then you can go to the next step mentioned in this book. If not – then stop.

Look around you. Every person is doing something to fulfill a purpose. Some are going to work to earn money, some are going to learn guitar and some are practicing singing songs. Every human has some purpose.

Look at your mother and father. Your mother is cooking for you because her purpose is not to starve. Your father is going on a job so that your needs can be met. Both of them are working so that they and you will be happy. They have a purpose to work.

Will they work if they have no purpose to work? – “No”

Therefore, understand one thing clearly that no work is done without any purpose. So, you have to make a clear goal right now.

How would you set a clear goal?

Let me help you. Tell me a little bit about what is the work that you get happiness after doing?

Sorry don’t tell me your qualification. I do not need it.

Let me give you an example.

Are you fond of singing? Or do you like to play guitar? Or are you fond of food? Or do you like watching videos? Or do you like watching movies?

It is also possible that if you like to do some other work, then you should keep the same in your mind.

Whatever work you like to do, you should make it your goal.

Wait. You are probably telling me that everyone loves singing songs and watching videos, it does not mean that everyone should become a singer (or something). And you are thinking that I do not even have the qualification to become a singer.

I want to tell you one thing clearly –

It is a little difficult to achieve the work which everyone likes, by making it their goal, but it is not impossible. You will have a very large competition field. But if you become a singer and your songs will reach many people – this will fulfill your two objectives – (1). You will earn a lot of money and (2). You will also get fame.

If you are thinking of qualification then you can achieve it even after your goals are set.

Did you tell me that “I am fond of eating”.

So make a product that you like very much and open a company that you will take to every corner of the world.

If you choose the target according to your interest, then you will always be happy while working.

Have you still not set your goal?

If you are not able to set your goal according to your choice, then let me see your qualification now.

Hmmm …

Your qualification is good, but it is the time of competition. Let me think a little…

If you have to set goals based on your qualification then think of these things –

(1). First of all, check what is the opportunity based on your qualification?

how will you do? – Using the Internet.

Now write them on a paper.

(2). Now write on the same paper how much money you need every month to be happy? Is it 1000 $? Is it 2000 $? Or a little bit more – $ 10,000? You have to write it clearly.

(3). Now determine the opportunity according to the amount of money you need.

(4). Have you got a clear goal? If yes – then try to achieve the same goal.

(5). “If not” – then create a new opportunity according to your desired amount. If your desired amount is large, then you must definitely create a new opportunity and you should also give jobs to other people.

## Chapter 3. Take Action

Often people set their own goals but do not take action according to the goal and fail.

Let me explain a little bit. “A student has to become a topper” – that is what sets the goal. The goal of that student is clear. But will he become a topper?

That student will never become a topper unless he / she studies, i.e. he / she will not work according to his / her goal.

The goal of many students is to become a topper, but very few students are able to do this – because they work according to their goals.

Therefore, it is proven that until action is not associated with desire, success will not be achieved.

You have to take action according to your goal. For example, if you are hungry, it cannot be pacified by drinking water. You have to eat to calm the hunger. That is, whatever you want, you have to take action.

Hmmm …

You are telling me that you have taken action, yet the results are not coming as per your expectation. Many people have surpassed you.

I have a answer for you.


### Chapter-4. Hard Work

The goal that you have set for yourself, the same goal many people have set for themselves. But only few people get the destination. What is the reason for this? If I answer in one word – “hard work”.

The harder the person works, the greater the chance of success.

My friend! Many people go to the factory in the morning and come back in the evening. Many people work as laborers to build houses.

Don’t they all work hard?

You are saying – certainly those people work hard.

So what does this mean? Why don’t hard workers have a lot of money?

My friend! You will work hard to grow a neem tree and hope that if you get apple fruit from that tree, will it happen?

“No”

Because you have worked hard to grow a neem tree, so you will get the fruit of neem, not apple.

So it is clear that work hard but do it in the right direction. You should work hard only to achieve your goal.


### Chapter-5. Focus

Think about accomplishing only the goals you have set. If you focus on more than one goal at once, your chances of success are slim.

When you set only one goal, then your brain tries to fulfill that goal in every way. In this state your mind becomes focused on a single goal.

Now imagine that you are standing in a floating boat. You see two islands simultaneously. Someone tells you that on one island there is a box full of gold and on another island there is a silver box. So what will you do?

Will you pick up those boxes from both islands simultaneously?

“No”

You will pick one box first and then the second one.

That is, you cannot accomplish two goals simultaneously. First you have to complete one goal, then the other goal.

So keep one goal at a time. Focus your attention on only one goal at a time.

If you want to be successful, you have to remain focused.

Is there any method by which you can increase your concentration/ focus?

“Yes”

I will tell you how you will do it.

Move to any room in your house where no one is there other than you. The atmosphere in your room should be relaxed. There should be no sound. Lay a simple carpet on the floor of the room. Turn off the lights in your room and sit on the same carpet. Now close your eyes. Start feeling your breath. When the breath comes in and when it goes out – just feel it carefully.

That’s all.

You have to do this 5 minutes in the beginning but gradually increase this duration.

You will start getting amazing results. By doing this, your concentration power will increase greatly.


### Chapter-6. Willpower

Without will power, no task can ever be completed. The person who has more willpower to do some work, the chances of that person being successful in accomplishing that work is more.

But why is willpower so important?

Let me give you an example. My friend! Have you ever seen a small ant carrying a grain of wheat several times larger than its own size? How can that small ant carry a particle larger than its own weight?

This is the power of will power. If you understand this, then you can easily do even the biggest work.

Will power = will + power

This means that you have a chance of getting success on the basis of how much strength is there in your desire.

But how to increase the will power?

It is very simple – whatever you want to get… strengthen that desire more. Believe me friend! You can do this.


### Chapter-7. Split your day Task

When do you do your important work during the day? Do you do this morning Do you do it during the day? Do you do it in the evening

Tell me when are you most active all day?

When you wake up from your sleep, that is, in the morning.

Therefore, you should do all your important work in the morning. In the morning your brain is very active. At this time, whatever you want to learn, you can easily teach.

When you wake up from sleep you feel very fresh. At this time, waste thoughts do not come to mind. Therefore, choose this time to do your most important work.

Divide your work into 3 parts of your day –

(1). Most important work

(2). Some less important work

(3). Less important work

(4). Entertainment functions

(1). Do the most important work in the first part of the day. At this time think nothing but that work.

(2). After the most important work is done, rest for a while. Refresh your mind. Now, complete the less important task.

If it is complete, you must rest for a while. If you want to do entertainment for a while.

(3). Do very less important work in the end.

## Chapter 8. Wake up early in the morning

What time do you get up? After the sun rises??

There are many benefits of getting up early in the morning. Let me explain you how?

(a). When you wake up early in the morning, the atmosphere around you remains calm at this time.

(b). At this time there is no negative energy in the atmosphere.

(c). If you do your important work at this time, no one will disturb you.

(d). At this time your mood is very fresh. Vain thoughts do not come to your mind.

(e). Waking up early in the morning eliminates your negative energy.

## Chapter-9. Strength of mind

Mind is the most powerful part of our body. Our mind can reach any corner of the world in an instant. Has that ever happened to you?

“Yes” |

Your mind is your greatest strength. If you ask your mind to complete a task, it tries to complete it in every possible way. But what if you don’t command your mind to do something? In this state, you get waste thoughts that create disturbances. You cannot find your destination at this stage.

So, if you want to be successful in your life, first of all you have to control your mind.

Why does your brain bring disturbing thoughts to you?

Before this, you have to know where your brain receives information from. Seeing through the eyes, hearing through the ears, touching with the skin, sniffing through the nose, tasting with the tongue – in these five ways the brain receives information.

(1). Seeing with the eye: When the mind sees something beautiful with its eyes, it saves that information inside itself. This information brings your mind to you again and again. This will disturb you. This is the first reason for thinking of disturbing you.

(2). Listening with ears: When you listen to a good music, your brain saves it inside you. This information (music) repeatedly brings your mind to you, which causes you to disturb. This is another reason to think of disturbing you.

(3). Taste with tongue: When you eat something tasty you enjoy it. Your mind wants you to have this joy again and again. Therefore, your brain saves this information inside you, which causes you to disturb.

(4). Smelling through the nose: If you go to a flower garden and you get a good smell of flowers, then you get pleasure from the fragrance of the flowers. Your mind wants that joy to be found in future also. Therefore, your brain saves this information within itself. And repeatedly brings the same thoughts in you, which causes you to disturb.

(5). From touching skin: The above-mentioned disturbing thoughts occur even after touching the skin.

Now you know why the disturbing thoughts come inside you. If you want to get rid of these disturbing thoughts, then you have to be detached from them.

You do not have to be completely detained, but to a minimum extent you will have to be detached from them so that the disturbing thoughts in vain will not enter you.
