Find the Work You Love Finding and creating your life's work will bring you more abundance than any other single action you can take. Your life's work will involve doing what you love to do and will in some way make a contribution to the greater good of mankind. Money will be a by-product of doing what you love and will flow effortlessly into your life, without even much thought." - Creating Money: Keys to Abundance by Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer Don't ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive. - Harold Whitman I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle. - Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer. If enough individuals can develop themselves, even partially, into genuine, natural men, able to use the real potentialities that are proper to mankind, each such individual would then be able to convince and win over as many as a hundred other men, who would, each in his turn upon achieving development, be able to influence another hundred, and so on - George Gurdjief We are all born with the seed of greatness which is lying latent in us. Very few of us recognise and use them. We invite you to join the minority group of individuals who can make an IMPACT in the world. Welcome you to the world of discovery of your true potential...

Sometimes in your life you will go on a journey. It will be the longest journey you have ever taken. It is the journey to find yourself. - Katherine Sharp THE FIRE WITHIN YOU 8 VENU BHAGAVAN
Preface Congratulations for your desire to live a life of deeper meaning and purpose which has attracted you to this simple wisdom contained in this book. Reading this book itself is a sign of your readiness for an arrival to the core. Definitely the content of this book will help you discover the FIRE within and help you expand your horizons. As the saying goes When the student is ready, the teacher arrives. The Teacher can arrive in any form-through a book, an incident or in the form of a person; the means doesn't matter, it is just an excuse. When we want something, life will guide us to it, but by unexpected paths. Like a cell phone searches for network, our mind searches in the mind-net to get what we want. Thus the credit of having this kind of book is absolutely yours. This is not a motivational or a personality development kind of book. It is a self awareness book. Being aware of 'who you are', 'why you are here' and 'what you are capable' of being and doing. While reading this book, the dreams which are in hibernation can surface and open up new possibilities which you would never have imagined possible even in the wildest dreams. This book may not be sold in millions but if it can ignite one in a million who in turn impact millions in a positive way, the purpose of writing this book is served. My best wishes in discovering your best self which can make you a highly competent human resource. The faster you realise who you are in core i.e. your niche the longer you enjoy your life. The resources in this book provide you with a strong driving force to move towards the core self. You can learn how to reinvent to expand your life...every one of us can be a Miracle. "You cannot change your destination overnight, but you can change your direction overnight." - Jim Rohn THE FIRE WITHIN YOU 9 VENU BHAGAVAN
Throwing Some light We cannot solve our problems with the same level of thinking that created them. - Albert Einstein If you are on a highway in the night where there are neither street lights nor moon light, yet you can drive at ease because the car has head lights which shows the sign posts along the road. Similarly when the light within is present, one can reach the destination with ease. In order to make the light within present one has to ignite the fire within. The light of a small candle can dispel thousands of years of darkness. The information in this book is like throwing some light on things that matter most in your life. In the presence of light, there is no room for darkness. There are three knowledge zones. You know that you know. You know that you don t know and you don t know that you don t know. The last zone is the undiscovered gold mine. It happened in a house. In the middle of the night a house caught fire. The whole house was burning, and the master of the house was fast asleep, drunk. Everybody escaped except the master. Then the neighbors realized that he would not be able to come out because he was so drunk. A few people rushed in though it was risky and started dragging him out. As he was drunk and fast asleep and also heavy it was difficult to pull him out of the window, but that was the only possibility as the door was burning. They tried from one window, then they tried from the other window, but it was becoming increasingly difficult. Then one wise old man said, Hit him hard on the head! Wake him. Then he will find the way to get out and we need not worry. So they hit him hard on the head and he opened his eyes and they all jumped from the window and he also jumped from the window. As Gloria Steinem said The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off. The content of this book may hit you hard. The THE FIRE WITHIN YOU 10 VENU BHAGAVAN
hitting is out of compassion. You can throw away this book, if it irritates you by this time. But if you want to throw away the irritation, read on. There are some chapters, you may feel are irrelevant to you; they can be dodged. Take a day's time to read this book and reflect. While you are reading this book, when some thing touches you deeply, take time to reflect before reading further. In those moments of silence, the glimpses of your heart s desires can be found. The voice unheard can be heard. I like thinking of possibilities. At any time, an entirely new possibility is liable to come along and spin you off in an entirely new direction. The trick, I've learned, is to be awake to the moment. - Doug Hall To get the maximum benefit from this book, read, pause, reflect and record your ideas and possibilities in a personal journal. More than reading this book word to word and making a meaning out of what was said, look for the insights which would awaken the bubbling spirit in you. We are here to live our life to the fullest with passion, compassion and celebration so that our visit to this planet is successful. This work contains wisdom of many a great person. In each quotation there is fire and the rest is my commentary in bringing the wisdom to your door step. There are books which talk about success in life. But this is a kind of book that helps to make life a success. The best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up. - Paul Valery, French Poet, Essayist and Critic, 1871-1945 THE FIRE WITHIN YOU 11 VENU BHAGAVAN
Personal Coaching No one lives long enough to learn everything they need to learn starting from scratch. To be successful, we absolutely, positively have to find people who have already paid the price to learn the things that we need to learn to achieve our goals. - Brian Tracy In this age of information, there are numerous self help books that have flooded the market. Today people are more confused than ever by unwanted information. Hence taking even a simple decision has become a complex process. Many times it is not the information that inspires people but often the confirmation of the information which emerges within that inspires people. To play any professional game, one needs a coach to stay as a champion. If we consider life as a game, then we need life coaches. Today we do not have time to learn from our mistakes. It is wise to learn from other s mistakes. A coach can only coach when a player is ready to be coached. It is your willingness to accept, acknowledge and change that will produce results that can eventually transform your life. I offer you this book with great honor and with a hope that this book will cause a break-through in your life. Get ready for a new view of life. It is impossible to stay unchanged reading this kind of book. A farmer went out to sow. As he sowed, some seeds fell by the roadside, and the birds came and devoured them. Some fell on rocky ground, where they didn't have much soil, When the sun had risen, they were scorched and withered away. Some fell among thorns. The thorns grew up and choked them. And others fell on good soil, and yielded fruit: some one hundred times as much. - A parable by Jesus. It is not only the seed but it is the fertile soil that allows the seed to sprout. Miracles happen in a space where trust and faith rule over doubt and disbelief. THE FIRE WITHIN YOU 12 VENU BHAGAVAN
