I COMMAND ll I command all to be blessed. Every door opened, be blessed as they walk through. Every appointment of death, curse, harm, negativity, loss, or fear— be reversed into its opposite. I command life. Blessings. Protection. Positive thoughts and elevated energy. Abundance, gain, and authority over all things. I command that all receive their desires for their greatest good and upliftment— according to their faith. I command peace, unity, happiness, joy, love, and grace be given to all— for without grace, there is no mercy. I command total self-mastery— over anxiety, impatience, and emotion. I command love— to and for all, as we first love ourselves. I command awareness to stand as the witness, and alignment to flow through the divine purpose of the Creator. I command that all things kind, pure, loving, hopeful, and comforting become the new law— and love be its foundation. I command these things for myself. I command that these things begin with me. And now— may the Spirit in me awaken the Spirit in you. Now, and from this day forth… forevermore. Ase’

In this episode, I break down the three hidden gaps that hold most people back from reaching their full potential. If you have ever found yourself overthinking, doubting your own abilities, listen to this. https://youtu.be/90Z2fOiyTVI?si=U8ytJstQxk33MltL

How many people do we meet every day who walk around with a mask on their face? They smile. They laugh. They go on with life as if everything is fine. But behind the mask is real pain and suffering — the kind that becomes part of their persona. It turns into a habit. They start believing they must carry that heavy load alone, day after day, year after year. I’ve seen it countless times. And after five decades building and growing businesses — from my one-way ticket from Karachi to Montreal with almost nothing in my pocket, to scaling companies through mergers, challenges, and everything in between — I can tell you this: the pain is real, but it doesn’t have to define the rest of your story. Over those 50 years in business, I’ve witnessed all sides of human nature. The deception that slips into deals. The jealousy that poisons partnerships. The ego wounds that quietly destroy what could have been great. I’ve seen good people (and yes, myself at times) get trapped in cycles of suffering because they normalized the hurt, wore the mask, and kept carrying the weight as if it was their only choice. But I’ve also witnessed something far more powerful: the beauty of getting out of it. I’ve watched people — including myself — survive deep physical and emotional trauma and come out on the other side as fuller, wiser human beings. People who rediscover a life of genuine happiness and gratitude. People who one day look back and say, “Why did I suffer so long?” The answer is often simpler than we think. Sometimes you just have to make a decision. A real decision. Not a vague wish or a someday promise to yourself. A clear, from-the-heart choice to stop carrying what no longer serves you. To drop the mask. To choose gratitude over resentment. To face the deception or jealousy you’ve been tolerating and say, “Enough.” In my first book, A Matter of Destiny: Passion or Wish, I shared parts of my own journey — the resilience it took to keep going, the gratitude that became my daily anchor even in the darkest moments. That same thread runs through everything I’ve lived.

Yee Haw, I'm At Level 2.

I can tell you stories all day long… About overnight successes. About people who made it. About those who didn’t. But they’re just that — stories. Real life is different. In real life… You have your own challenges. Your own setbacks. Your own battles no one else sees. The world will tell you: “You can be an overnight success.” But it won’t ask you the real questions: Do you have the resilience? Do you have the tools? Are you consistent? Do you have the fire… the desire? Because nothing happens until you decide. Nothing changes until you take that first step. And even more important… Do you have the strength to keep going when it gets hard? Success isn’t built in stories. It’s built in commitment. In discipline. In keeping your word to yourself. So the real question is — Are you ready to do the work? Aslam
