Five Minutes Millionaire: Life Is Nothing but Experience of Emotions in a Moment of Time

By Dabeer Mallik

Life is a journey and road is the destination, our value system is our Atlas guide to lifes challenges, and we make our decisions by referring to its maps; our values. Unfortunately a map book drawn by an inexperienced teen-ager is not a reliable guide to steer us through the twists and turns of life, nor is it good for a safe highway driving. We learn our values from our parents and the surroundings. Most of the parents are/were not versed with the science or art of success, so they passed on the values they knew best; especially if they were poor they may have passed a very limited vision of life to you. In their opinion, making a living and raising a family were the ultimate challenge, and they may have lovingly and innocently passed them on to you, there by robbing you of your true potential. True potential of any life is no less than Mother Teresa, Gandhi, Donald Trump, Martha Stewart or any other household name. The only difference is Desire, and a proven value system. To succeed in life one needs desire, but most of us dont know where the desires come from or how to create them; for that one needs to understand how our mind functions.

No doubt Desire, is the starting point of all major success, desire alone is not enough. We also need Faith, a clear unshakable understanding of how Nature or God grants desire that look totally out of our reach. And last but not the least what role, if any does money play in our success, how do they get rich and what can you do to ensure your riches.

What good is all the success, if we cant even be happy, even though success and possessions have very little to do with happiness if at all. To explain all these issues that involves psychology, metaphysics, spirituality, religion and economics in a book that can be read in two to four hours without putting the reader to a sleep was/is a challenge. This book is specially written for young adults who dont have time or interest in reading such topics. Five Minute Millionaire draws on solid facts to inspire the reader; it is written in interesting provocative style, in short articles ranging from one line on a page to a maximum of three pages printed in a large font, yet it inspires every reader.

The book comes with optional Instant Motivation, software that lets you see your progress on a daily basis. They say nothing succeeds like success, when you see your money grow, your health improve and your happiness increase, it reinforces your belief in your thinking, your system and your actions; that is the secret to ultimate success in life, realization of ones full potential.

Preface

If one life is all I can touch, and it happens to be yours, it is one more than I have touched in my entire life and an ample reward for all my effort. The difference an inspired life can make is far beyond one’s imagination. An ordinary life when inspired becomes a mighty force that transforms the world, creates history, and inspires millions of people to follow its footsteps. Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa, Donald Trump, or any other famous person you can think of were ordinary people until they got inspired, and then the same ordinary life became a beacon of inspiration for others.

None of us know our potential until we are bitten by the bug of inspiration; and once bitten by this contagion, life sings to a different tune. Attitude, behavior, and conversation change; people notice the difference, the smile on the face, the sparkle in eyes, and the spring in the feet, they all change to reflect the potential. Even nature suddenly becomes cooperative; people and resources start to appear and the circumstances seem to propel toward the destiny—are you ready?

This book is primarily written for young adults who do not like to read. Unfortunately, they are also, in most cases, the poverty-conscious people; they believe that making a living is the ultimate challenge in life. It is a tragedy to see these millions of very bright people who go through the life without ever claiming, fame, fortune and joy that is rightfully theirs.

To succeed in life, one need to understand human being as a success mechanism and how to inspire it, purpose of life, why nature created you and how it is constantly trying to propel you towards your destiny, money as a source of power, how to acquire it and how to use it towards your highest purpose. These subjects require in-depth discussion on science, metaphysics, spirituality, philosophy, and economics. The challenge was to make it simple, keep it interesting and be brief. Did we succeeded, you be the judge.

Who Is This Book for?

If your name is Donald Trump, Bill Gates, or Martha Stewart, you have wasted your money—my apology. But if you are not yet a household name and you have one or more of these questions this book is for you.

What is success? Why do we need success?

How do people succeed?

How can I succeed?

What is life? Is there a purpose in life? Should there be a purpose in life?

What is God? Where is he/she? What role does religion play in one’s life today?

How does nature work? Does it know our desires? How does it decide who should get what?

Who is at the center? Whose interest should come first—self, family, church, state, or society at large?

What is reality? How does it differ from our perception?

Is it possible to be happy at will under any circumstances? If so, how?

How can one attain health, wealth, and happiness?

What is money? How to attract it? How do people get rich?

This book is for students, counselors, and young adults, especially those who don’t like to read. It will change your life forever, introduce you to principles of success and empower you to expect bigger and better things from life. It will make you money conscious and help you make your first million in next seven to ten years. It will teach you how to be happy at will and inspire you to claim fame, fortune and happiness that are rightfully yours.

How to Use This Book

Some of the ideas are expressed in just one line on a page, some a paragraph, and a few of them are more than one page. Printed in a large font, none of them takes more than a few minutes to read. They make an interesting reading, and you may be tempted to rush through them. But if you don’t ponder over them and question their veracity they will never become a part of your reality, your consciousness. They will pass through you like a neutrino, unnoticed, unregistered, and insignificant; just like all the ideas that came and left without making any difference in your life.

You will encounter some philosophical, spiritual, scientific, and metaphysical concepts expressed in common day-to-day language; but their comprehension requires contemplation, analysis, and discussion. One simple way to understand them is to debate them, let some one else question them while you defend them. It is only through such discourse that you will understand them, if at all.

I dare you to question these ideas, toss them around to your friends, and let them challenge it; and if need be send me an email at [e-mail], we will duke it out.

At some point, their intellectual truth will dawn on you, but merely understanding an idea does not constitute a belief system. A solid belief system is the basis for leading a successful life, and such belief system can only be acquired through experiment. Once you are intellectually convinced, you have to try them; it is your personal firsthand experience that will form your new core belief system. Stories of miracles do not create faith, miracles do; try these ideas, and see your own miracles.

Once you have read the book and are committed to try these ideas for leading a successful life, you may order Instant Motivation software to monitor your progress and reinforce your belief system. It monitors and displays progress in three major areas, health, wealth, and happiness; it takes only five minutes, and you will see your growth in each of these areas on a daily basis. Good luck.

Part 1

Some Pearls of Wisdom

What?

Q. What is life’s biggest responsibility?

A. Decisions!

Q. What is life’s biggest challenge?

A. Making decisions quickly and accurately.

Q. What are life’s proudest moments?

A. When we accomplish something we thought was beyond our capacity.

Q. What is life’s biggest tragedy?

A. Going through life without ever realizing it’s true potential, living but not Living.

Q. What is life’s biggest mistake?

A. Blowing the only chance we get at life.

Less is more!

Thoughts are pearls.

Inspect them before you discard them.

Truth is simple.

Life!

Life is a fine vehicle. If you don’t know how to drive, you could hurt yourself and/or others. You have to know where you are going, or else it will take you nowhere. Money is the gas in the tank; without it, it goes nowhere.

Status!

Life at its low end dodges law to survive; in the middle, it learns to coexist; at the upper end it formulates law. Where would you rather be? To be in the upper class, you will need money, contacts, and communication skills.

Circumstances!

Circumstances are like a big oil tanker, you cannot turn on a dime. Its inertia is a mighty force to reckon with. Start the turn well in time or you might have a Valdez disaster at your hands.

Feelings!

Life is nothing but an experience of emotions in a moment of time. Their quality, intensity, and persistence define the tapestry of our life—some good, some bad, and some in-between. What if there was a way to feel happy at will? Fortunately, there is; and it is simple.

Emotions are our bodies’ natural reaction to a thought; change the thought and feelings will change. Material things are simply triggers. They trigger the thought that create the feelings, and feelings last as long as the though persists.

Reading!

If you can’t read, you are denying yourself thousands of years of human experience. One life is certainly not enough to experiment with what has already been done. To read is definitely the better choice.

Profanity

Why Do People Use Profanity?

Because they lack vocabulary to express their emotions.

Life’s

Self-Destruct Mechanism

There are three basic desires that sustain life: desire to know, desire to do, and desire to be. As these desires end, the desire to live ends. Atrophy kicks in and destroys life. Hasta la vista!

Part 2

This Is Your Story Until Now!

Um Pleasure!

Of the pleasure, by the pleasure, for the pleasure; and pleasure you shall seek!

Your life started when a man and a woman made love, one of the most pleasurable acts in life if not the most pleasurable act. The struggle to win life started when it reached its climax; Climax is the climax, isn’t it?

Nature has built our entire success mechanism around pain and pleasure. Every one of the five senses translates every stimulus into either pain or pleasure. Our mind loves pleasure and repels pain. Pleasure is assurance of growth, and pain is warning of destruction; and therein lays the automated system of human success and continuous growth.

You are Very Special!

There were at least fifteen million sperms per drop; there were roughly ten drops. All of them—and you were one of them—raced through a slimy substance through the fallopian tubes to fertilize one egg. The race lasted for several hours, almost a day, and was longer than a marathon; you won. You couldn’t have won if you did not have good health, speed, cunning, faith, perseverance, and dexterity. So the moral of the story is you are very special:

1. You won the race for life by competing against roughly one hundred and fifty million competitors; it was not a chance.

2. You have all the character traits of a winner to do and be anything you want.

Just take a moment to analyze this:

What was at stake? Life. And what were the odds? One in hundred and fifty million.

Now compare these odds to winning a jackpot in lotto where the odds are one in seventy-five million. Lotto, you win by chance; this you won with your own effort.

All of the character traits that are required for winning were with you at the time of conception are still with you and will remain with you until the day you die.

You have all that it takes to do and be anything you want to, for you will never face a situation where the stakes are so high, or the odds are so heavy.

You Are a Complete

Success Mechanism

If you observe a baby who is trying to pick an object for the first time, you will notice that the tiny hand swings to the right, then left, then right until he grabs the object. This ability to learn and succeed is a part of the human body’s design. The human body, through its five senses, brain, and imagination (mind) is fully capable of learning, adapting, and ultimately succeeding in its purpose. That faculty is built in and cannot even be destroyed except in case of severe brain damage.

Secrets of Success

The secrets of success have been known to mankind for thousands of years. Prophets, pharaohs, and kings—all have used them to seek power and to train their children and lieutenants. But they were a closely guarded secret amongst the elite passed on from one generation to another until the middle of twentieth century when they became a public knowledge*. Since then, every known leader in business and public service has used them, and there has never been a leader of any significance who has achieved prominence without the use of these principles.

* There are three books that cover this subject thoroughly, a must read for any student of success mechanism.

Three Magic Words by U. S. Andersen

Infinite Possibilities

As a child, you had infinite time, infinite possibilities, and infinite desire to know. You wanted to touch everything, taste everything, learn everything, and do everything. But your parents/guardians, in their desire to protect you from harm, started to force limitations. The two dreaded words don’t and can’t were introduced in your life. Thorough and extensive use of the stick and carrot approach was almost a foolproof system to discipline you.

To begin with, parents look so awesome and powerful that children mimic everything they do and say and any part of child’s behavior that is out of synch with parent’s values is forced through powerful persuasion techniques.

Thus far there is nothing wrong with the picture; without such a love and protection, you couldn’t have survived. The problem starts when you grow to be beyond a baby, somewhere between five and twenty-five years of age.

Our parents/guardians were no pharaohs, kings, or prophets—perhaps not even very successful people, and, in some cases, not even versed in the modern concepts of success. Without the basic knowledge of success, the vision of life as to what is possible or what can be accomplished in a lifetime becomes abysmally limited. Not only that their vision was limited, it was their reality; and they wanted to implant it in our belief system as a value with passion. They believed they were doing us a favor; and without this knowledge of so-called reality, we will be doomed to naivety. The real damage is done when the limited vision of parents is passed on to a child with love, compassion, and sincerity for it leaves no room to question its veracity.

To draw an analogy, here is a true story. A friend of mine joined Pakistan Air Force; and on his graduation as a jet fighter pilot, this is the advice he got from his loving mother, Son, don’t fly high or fast. Any fighter pilot will tell you that if he had followed his mother’s advice he would not have lived to tell the story.

The advice most of us got was no different than the advice the pilot got from his loving mother. The only difference is that he (pilot) went to a professional school for flying, and we don’t go to any school for success. Unfortunately, such organizations are rare and out of reach for a common person.

For those of us who grow up in poor neighborhood, damage to our psyche is not limited to parental behavior, entire surrounding and almost every stimulus is working against us. Everything we see, hear, touch, taste or smell sends a message of poverty, shortage and paucity of basic necessities of life. People quibble over petty things and all discussions are centered around jobs and making a living. We grow up believing that economic survival, making a living is the biggest and ultimate challenge. Such deep indoctrination at an early stage of life is not easy to dispel. Such people end up focusing their entire energy on making a living and pass on the same message to their next generation. That is a very narrow vision and a big tragedy for that individual, his next generation and the society as a whole. Even though you are capable of accomplishing great feats in life, you cannot even think of them, let alone attempt them unless your vision is changed. It will take a sincere effort at overhauling of your belief system before you will start to dream.

Take a moment and imagine. Suppose you were born and raised in an Amazonian jungle in a tribe that still roams around naked and hunts wild animals for food. What would be your life’s challenges and ambition? Perhaps you would want to be a great hunter! Now imagine that you were born in Roman times in one of a legion commander’s home. What would be your ambition? Perhaps you would want to be a great conqueror! And if you are born in a poverty-conscious environment, your biggest ambition would be economic survival.

Life, its challenges, and its purpose at large is defined by our surroundings and the time and place we are born and raised. The most important part that I am concerned with in this book is the poverty consciousness, or the prosperity consciousness. Depending on our living conditions, we acquire either a prosperity consciousness or a poverty consciousness. It is the poverty consciousness that limits our vision, ambition, and scope of life, thereby depriving us the possibility of realizing our full potential.

Those of us who become poverty conscious are quite content to make a living and call it a success. In a way it is a great success, but a success of mediocrity; it is still a failure of life’s full potential. It is like winning a small battle and celebrating while losing the war. By the time you finish this book, you will be convinced that making a living, raising a family, etc., is a very limited vision. It is akin to throwing away the most precious gift life only God could give—the greatest sin you can ever commit.

Desire:

One Down and None to Go!
