After attending your sessions, I have learnt to "Keep the outcome in mind". I now perceive my problems differently and I now realize that I'm part of both the problem and the solution but, emotionally, I have to watch myself so I don't play victim.
It hit me when you asked me if I really believed I could make someone happy (unhappy). I suddenly realized I couldn't and that it was each one's choice to be happy (unhappy). So I shrugged off the false responsibility I had assumed.
What you did was great. And thanks tons for it. But 80% of me is what I - nobody else - is responsible for. And I need to do my 80% before I reach for the 20%.
Am struck about the power of the club for the people you help. I think you are sitting on a goldmine!

Your sessions have helped me focus and also provided me a sense of direction. Not only are they interesting but also very enlightening. It has opened up new avenues of growth and exploration. I now feel that I can do something about my life instead of feeling stuck. I have moved to the next level in my life.

Maybe you think that I'm exaggerating my reaction, but believe me, the conversation we had was the trigger which made the exploding and opened for me a door of enthusiasm and excitement. I went home after we finished, I was so excited and active and start thinking about what we said. I don’t know why I feel like that or from where I got this excitement and enthusiasm, and I really don't care as long as I'm like this.
My Dreams and Goals have become clearer and bigger, I don’t think I can sleep tonight before 6:00 am. I feel so energetic and powerful and what ever happened to me today, it all started bcoz of you and what u did for me it could be simple, but it means a lot to me and I believe it has changed me.
Thank you Neelam for being the great person you are and for what you did for me, may God bless you. Hope to see you soon.

The Wake-Up! sessions are interesting, as I get to meet like-minded people who are also in search of their calling. I realized that I am not the only person who is confused, there are others also and it is quite natural. It helped me get a better perspective of who I am and it feels great!! Even though I may have not yet fully set out on the path to make my dreams a reality, the feeling of knowing my dreams itself is joy.
It is also good fun to attend the sessions and take part in activities.
-Arun Chaddha, 22, Student
I have begun to realize and understand many things about me, which were earlier overlooked/ignored. I find Wake-Up! interesting, as it not only opens up a lot of possibilities to reach out to our inner-self but also helps us focus on our strengths rather than the problem in any given situation.
It is also a great way to lay the foundation for financial planning.
Wishing Wake-Up! the very best and happiness to come. Its time to Wake-Up! folks:)
-Shilpa Murthy, 25, Principal Architect – The Canvas
Wake-Up! has made a difference in my Life. Thank you for bringing the best in me and giving rebirth to my life.
Neelam, your sessions have made me think, understand the “Purpose” of my life, help me realize who I am, sometimes laugh and sometimes cry. Now I do things which interest me, I go for aerobics, eat healthy food, think positive and also started Spoken English Classes.
Seriously, I feel that loads of weight has been lifted from my shoulders. Whatever the problem is big or small for me, I handle with confidence.
Wake-Up! has really WOKEN me and is helping me to have a Better Life, which I had always dreamed of having.
Neelam...Thank you for your sessions – it is changing me and will make a difference to my family and everyone around me.
Wake-Up! is not about self-improvement, it is about self-remembering.

What I have achieved attending Wake-Up! sessions.
Every person wakes on daily basis, but in Wake-Up! sessions, we wake up with a cause of trying to realize our real and hidden potential. It made me think and realize my pros and cons of life.
It is in knowing the potential we are blessed with. We put it in paper and understand ways of how to achieve the same. It made me realize my potentials and the methodology to achieve the same
Apart from knowing one’s potential, we also go through our dreams and goals of life and how to achieve the same and in what time frame can we achieve the same. This is the benchmark for further successes in life .We have periodic checks in regard to the same. I have set certain goals and dreams of life, also set targets for the same and trying to achieve the same.
But one thing I would like to tell that people do dream and have goals but as time passes people tend to forget the same. But in the Wake-Up! sessions we are able to keep a check on same and also guided to achieve the same.
In life one tends to meet different types of people and one has to address each one of them on a personal/professional manner. In one of the Wake-Up! sessions, we learnt to address different people in a different manner.
In our daily routine of life I was also taught, which many people tend to forget is to take out specific time for oneself for positive growth in personal life like in form of reading, exercise etc, which a person likes to do in life. I have started to explore other things in life on daily basis to gain more knowledge and give my life a new meaning.
The best thing about Wake-Up! is the “Thought for the day” by mail that I receive by the facilitator on a daily basis.
It is not only I but as my wife has also been attending, she has also realized the same and I have noticed a lot of changes in her.
Thanks a lot for making my life more meaningful.Keep up the great work and all the best for the future as we all try achieve our goals.

-Fr. Gregory Paruvaparampil, Director,
St. Thomas College of Nursing Chethipuzha, ChanganasseryRespected Madam, I like your supplements covering Health, Woman’s life. I am inspired by your New age living.
-Kalaiselvi Sivakumar
I like the examples you use. I am able to see the problem from a different angle, and the problem looked so simple. I guess the primary problem with today’s generation is not money or power, it has more to do with feeling confused, not knowing what is important in life, and managing day-to-day expectations. Moreover, people try to rush through, and always find themselves in a rat race. These complex problems initially seem simple, but eventually take their toll. I guess you are doing a great job of helping people who are stuck with such problems.
