So I was lost, burnt out, stuck in a loop of self-doubt and frustration until one day I heard a voice from decades ago that completely shifted my perspective. That voice is Earl Nightingale. Hi, my name is Arvind Padmaraju. I'm a health and wellness coach and international certified healer. Just a few years ago, I was caught in a rut. I had goals, dreams, but no clear direction. So that is when, through my mentor, I watched, I heard this video called Earl Nightingale. I was consistently comparing myself, feeling like I wasn't enough. No matter how hard I worked, no matter how successful I was, I was earning almost like a very good salary in Dubai, but still I felt like unfulfilled. I was always feeling like something is missing in my life. So then, so one of my mentors told to listen this Earl Nightingale video for 30 days straight. So when I first started listening to Earl Nightingale's The Strangest Secret of Life, that completely changed everything, the way I look after my life. So one of the biggest things what I learned from Earl Nightingale was, we become what we think about. This one single statement actually enlightened me in a greater way. And I actually went back and actually observed whatever happening in my life. I was consistently thinking about what I don't want most of the time. Even though it was very simple, but it was so powerful. I started observing what is my thought process. Then I started rewiring my thoughts into what exactly I wanted. So also he talks about power of our thoughts. Importance of self-belief and how setting a clear goal and first step towards achieving it. And also, he also talks about reading your goal card and being part of Amazing Master Community. All these things are amazing. Another powerful sentence which actually hooked me is, success is a progressive realization of worthy ideal. That means you need to become who you want to be, who you want to become. You want to— you have to become who you want to become. Yes, this one line has completely reframed and looked at the success. Success is not a destination, it's a direction. So I did not just listen this video for 30 days and I started taking every single day the whatever steps he's been actually told in this particular video. I started writing down my goals every morning. I replaced my negative self-talk with affirmations. I started listening to The Strangest Secret every day, almost like 90 days. In my work, I began to see a big shift. I was not growing in my life. I could start seeing the movement was happening, and I started— I got double promotion in the matter of one year. In my relationships, I practiced the gratitude and also being present and able to understand other people's perspective rather than always putting myself into the ego. I ever created a morning routine based on my personal growth. So what I have used to do, the simple routine I used to do, the practicing silence, journaling, writing down my goal, and simple visualization to visualize what kind of a life I want. So what, there are challenges? Exactly. So some days I could not do it, some days old habits used to kickstart, and doubts creeps in. Still fear comes up sometimes. But I kept coming back to Earl's words. What is one word? You become what you think about. So that is one of the profound shifts I got. Within a year, because my mind is shifted, I started experiencing an immense flow of abundance into my life. I started focusing on my personality development. I learned a lot of skills. I learned how to build a business. I learned how to create a fitness business, and also I learned how you can heal yourself. I started upgrading my skills over a period of 2 years, and I also identified what are some of the things which is blocking me, which is stopping my progress. And finally, when I got aligned with my purpose and with my, uh, what I wanted to achieve, The life was truly transformational. Definitely there are more, many coaches who helped me in this journey, but he was the one through the coach who actually enlightened the power of focusing on your personality development. Earl's every word did not just change my thinking, it rewired my identity. I became more self-centered person. That means I used to, every single time there is a problem happens outside, I used to go within and identify what was something which is attracted, and I used every single problem as opportunity. So that's where my actual transformation happened. The biggest shift I now believe truly is I can design a life that I love. And I believe openly, I believe that every challenge opens up the new doors. If I actually see from last 2 and a half years, I became a full-time coach, quitting a 22 years of IT job, building a 7-figure coaching business and also building a wealth startup and more than creating 7 passive income sources and learned many skills, became a life coach, became internationally certified healer and became an internationally certified fitness and health coach and also became a TEDx speaker and did so many things. It is all because every single thing what I thought I just keep realigning my thoughts towards what I wanted. So that is what is powerful. And I want you to take one thing from this video is start focusing on your thoughts because your thoughts are what shapes reality. Guard them, feed them, direct them with the intention what exactly you want. So remember Earl Nightingale words. Timeless for a reason. Words are timeless for a reason.
