How to be More Successful

Once at the door of Lotus gallery, a Lotus client, a lady business owner, told me to remember to tend my garden, and remember to burn my Lotus incense daily and meditate, when I asked how to be as successful as her or more.

I looked at her and shaked my head while asking what do you mean by tend my garden? She answered your inner garden while pointing to her head and heart, wishing me luck and left.

I never really figured out what she meant entirely about inner garden. My mind and my heart? How and what's to tend? I definitely understand the burning of Lotus incense and meditation.

Until I read The Monk who sold his Ferrari recently. When Julian revealed one of the seven secrets is to always tend your garden, that of your mind. This secret means nourish your mind with new information, dare to dream and create better future. Then her words clicked in my head! I have been told similar ideas about 'broaden your mind' many times after her I think. But, now its crystal clear to me, that what I should be doing right. It's like my Lotus crystal Guan Yin sending me a message, because recently I have placed my Lotus sandalwood beads on her while I sleep. I placed them on her after I have made my prayers and meditation.

Napoleon Hill said: "Faith is the element, the “chemical” which, when mixed with prayer, gives one direct communication with Infinite Intelligence." I feel when my goals gets more clear, my purpose more definite and defined. I know directly when and what's right to think and do. I also feel that this Faith becomes more amplify and powerful with the Lotus treasures storing and broadcasting this Faith, be it's the Lotus Crystal, Jadeite, Sandalwood, Agarwood and more. 

And I believe you have treasures in your inner garden too. Should you choose to accept Lotus treasures to store and broadcast this Faith: nourishment of mind with new information, dare to dream and create better future into your garden, I congratulate you.

Dare to Dream Higher.

Water your Lotus seeds of Greatness with Believe

During World War II, the Germans introduced an unbreakable code to transmit messages coded by the famous Enigma machine which ranged from gossips to military instructions on ship attacks.  As I watched the scene from The Imitation Game, I saw Alan Turing, a computer scientist trying to crack the Enigma code.  He was different from the rest of the team who used traditional cryptographic techniques which were unsuccessful when the Germans changed codes at midnight.

 

Enigma machine that looks like a portable type-writer

One day, while his commanding officer was trying to shut him down, his colleagues stepped in for him saying “Trust me when I tell you there is no one who would rather say this less than I do, but… he’s right.  Alan is right.”  They believed in Alan based on the logic that their current methods were unsuccessful and Alan is the last chance that could possibly break the code and win the war.  After a brief stroke of genius, Alan altered the programming slightly and did manage to break the code.

Alan had yet to crack the Enigma code, and his colleagues believed in him.  This led him to believe in himself that he could crack the code.   Believing in people before they have proven themselves is the key to motivating people to reach their full potential.  This goes for your Lotus treasures too.

 

Lotus Exquisite Gallery: where clients believed in betterment

 

We stepped into the Lotus Gallery ourselves, selected our own Lotus treasures, host them with our efforts and resources.  We should believe that they have the ability to improve our lives for the better.  When we have yet to receive, we develop faith and belief in the Lotus treasures with our abilities and attitude that we will eventually receive.  When we have received, we feel gratitude for the Lotus treasures and for our actions that led to our harvests.  After we received, we look forward to a higher step helped by our Lotus treasures and our onward-looking attitude for growth.

 

6% of the world (350 million people) believed in Lord Buddha's principles, had faith in Him.
