Wow of the Now: Inhale the Now, Exhale the Past
By Kewal Gangani
(Best-Selling Author and Public Speaker)
When Kewal was nineteen, a profound transformation started which helped him to dissolve his old limited identity. The more you know yourself and Be yourself, the more clarity there is and that radically changed the course of his life. The next few years were devoted to understanding, integrating, and deepening that transformation, which marked the beginning of an intense inward journey. He expresses deep gratitude to his mentor for gifting him many amazing experiences and for which he is truly very grateful.
We spend too much time complaining about the way things are, and forget that we have the power to change anything and everything. “Wow of the Now” holds the potential to shape our future and change lives in ways you may never know.
The present moment is the most precious thing. People don’t realize that NOW is all there ever is; there is no past or future except as memory or anticipation in your mind. Most humans are never fully present in the NOW, because unconsciously they believe that the next moment must be more important than this one. But then you miss your whole life living that way. As soon as you honour the present moment, all unhappiness and struggle dissolve, and life begins to flow with joy and ease.
No matter what you have or don’t have, no matter where you stand right now, the most important thing that matters is the path you choose NOW. Change requires a decision; remember the past does not equal the future unless you live them. Take control of your life NOW because tomorrow is too late, yesterday is over and NOW is exactly the right moment, so START!

Why is it that some people seem to shine in any sphere in which they choose to exert themselves, and others cannot manage even a glimmer despite obvious talent? Research shows that it’s the way that they think about their ability that really counts.
Most of those who have achieved greatness, to use Shakespeare’s phrase, have worked extremely hard to get there. Many were told that they would never amount to anything. But they believed that they could achieve, and worked hard to do so.
Fixed or Growth Mindset? There are two ways to view intelligence or ability:
Ability it is fixed or ingrained – in other words, we are born with a certain level of ability and we cannot change that. This is called a fixed mindset. We can develop our ability through hard work and effort. This is called a growth mindset. People with these two mindsets actually think differently and also react to information differently.
These two different beliefs lead to different behaviour, and also to different results. Having a growth mindset (the belief that you are in control of your own ability, and can learn and improve) is the key to success. Yes, hard work, effort, and persistence are all important, but not as important as having that underlying belief that you are in control of your own destiny.
Did you know your brain can change? The good news is that you can change your mindset. Neuroscience shows that our brains continue to develop and change even as adults.
This book shows you how to claim that staggering power, as well as transform your life – and the world around you – in the process.
