Why are we not having enough conversation?

Conversation plays a very important role in our Personal/Business life. We need communication to express our needs, thoughts, and opinions to others and conversation is important in communication. Every conversation is an opportunity to share and to learn.

So, last week, I was catching up with some old friends at a restaurant. We were reminiscing on some good times, enjoying some delicious food, and having some great laughs. At one point, my eyes ended up wandering to a nearby table and noticed something odd. At that particular table of six, everyone was silent. They all had their phones in their hands and they were just typing away. I gave them the benefit of the doubt. Maybe they had a long day and they were just unwinding. The next thing that I noticed blew my mind: they were all communicating with each other through a group text. When someone posted something, they all laughed, exchanged a few words, and their heads were once again, buried in their screens.

With each passing day, I am finding that more and more people’s main form of communication is from behind a screen. Even I have been guilty of too much screen time as well. The art of face-to-face conversation is dying and it is starting to become more obvious with the passing of each year. Social individuals are now being shunned and deemed as strange.

The thing is, a conversation isn't hard, we just make it that way. Sometimes the greatest adventure is simply a conversation.
A lot of relationships are spoiled due to lack in conversation. An open conversation has the ability to solve most of the life issues. We must avoid unwanted EGO and have a frank conversation to solve a lot of unwanted misunderstanding in our life. Happy Sunday!! Keep Moving & Smiling!!🏃🏽😊

Be Authentic, Do Uncomfortable Work And Surrender To The Outcome!

This week I saw this Ted Talk about the above. I could relate to it so much to my Journey. Authenticity for me is a collection of choices that we have to make every day. It’s all about the choice to show up and be real, to be and to let out true selves be seen. It is also about being true to who we really are. Authenticity is more than speaking; Authenticity is also about doing. Every decision we make says something about who we are. Authenticity starts in the heart. If we are our authentic selves, we will have no competition. I believe Hard times arouse an instinctive desire in us to Be Authentic. As a part of our uneasiness towards change, we tend to resist anything that feels uncomfortable, scary, different and new. We tend to play small even, to resist being seen and evaluated. To resist the unknown. Being Uncomfortable brings engagement and change. Doing Uncomfortable work means we’re doing something that others were unlikely to do because they’re hiding out in their comfort zo...

Let Our Strengths Become Our Unstoppable Advantage

Image
Activate to view larger image, Summary: True competitive advantage comes not from trying to be perfect at everything, but from doubling down on our unique strengths until they become unstoppable advantage. When we focus on maximizing what we're naturally great at rather than fixing every weakness, we create unfair advantages that can overcome any competition. Key Takeaways: - Doubling down on our core strength can be more powerful than trying to be well-rounded in all areas - Confidence in leveraging our unique abilities often matters more than having multiple average skills - Success comes from maximizing strengths rather than minimizing weaknesses This week, I came across a fascinating article about Sania Mirza's "unfair advantage" that resonated deeply with my own experiences in business and life. The article described how Sania, despite criticism about her fitness and agility compared to other players, dominated matches through one devastating strength - her powe...
