Five Biggest Life Lessons learnt by a Cancer Survivor from her experience!

On my recent road trip, my wifey shared this TEDx video which she has seen three years back, it changed her life in a way, am sharing the excerpts of the video.

*First Lesson learnt was that the most important thing we should focus awareness on is to Love yourself.* When we love ourself we value ourself, when we value ourself we teach people on how to treat us. U don't find any need to bully or control other people or vice versa. Loving yourself is as important as loving everybody else. And the more you love yourself, the more love you have to give to other people.

*The Second lesson learnt by her was to Live life fearlessly.* We are brought up on a diet of fear, we are taught to fear everything, we fear eating the wrong food, we fear displeasing people, we fear failing and most of us are brought up fearing everything. People think that fear keeps them safe, actually, that's not true. Love keeps you safe when you love yourself and when you love others, you ensure that you keep yourself and you keep other people out of danger. Love keeps you much safer than fear does.

*The third lesson learnt was the value of Humour, laughter & joy in our life.* We are born knowing this stuff, we are born knowing that it's important to laugh because this is what kids do all the time. We are born knowing love and fearlessness, but it gets conditioned out of us as we grow up. Laughter is so important and humor and finding your joy in life is more important than any other spiritual activity you may think of. If we had more laughter, we would have a very different world.

*The fourth lesson learnt was that life is a gift.* Most of us live life as a chore but it should not be that way. And it's unfortunate that only when we lose something, we value, we do realize the value of it. It should not be too late for people to realize the value of their life. Your life is a gift and even the challenges that come to you are a gift. In the end, you will find your challenge as a gift and if you are in a challenge and it doesn't feel like a gift yet, it means have not got to the end yet.

*The fifth lesson learnt was to always be yourself. Be as you as you can be.* Shine your light as brightly as you can, embrace your uniqueness, just realize who you are, get to know who you are. Love yourself unconditionally. And just be yourself.

And with these five lessons, I invite you to go and live your life fearlessly.

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...
