Everything in life happens according to our time, our clock!

"I know people who graduated from college at 21 and didn't get a salary job until they were 27. I know people who graduated at 25 and already had a salary job. I know people who have children and are single. I know people who are married and had to wait 8-10 years to be parents. I know people who are in a relationship and love someone else. I know people who love each other and aren't together. There are people waiting to love and be loved. My point is, everything in life happens according to our time, our clock. You may look at your friends and some may seem to be ahead or behind you, but they're not. They're living according to the pace of their clock, so be patient. You're not falling behind, it's just not your time." - Julissa Loaiza

This week I saw a video based on the above quote being circulated over Whatsapp. After watching this video I began to accept how true it really is. We all do have our own time clocks and we should never feel the pressure of what society deems as normal. We might feel sometimes like we want to give up, but we should never give up. We should never give up because we have a purpose in life, we just haven't found it yet because our time clock isn't there yet. We need to stop comparing ourselves to everyone else. We need to be patient, We need to be prayerful, consistent and smart-working. I believe there’s no latecomer in wealth or success. We should never feel depressed like we are falling behind, it’s not just our time yet! What tomorrow holds in store for us no man knows! God’s time for us is the best! Pray and work smart!

The important point to remember is we choose our own path. Along that path, we choose our own way, and everyone will have something different and unique to them, we won't reach where we want to be all at the same time. Now in my Second Innings, I have realized that We need to create meaningful, purposeful fulfilling lives for ourselves. And also we need to learn to use that to make an impact and a difference in the lives of others and society. That I believe will be a true success.

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...
