Keep Moving & Smiling!!🏃🏽😊

People like to talk. And when they talk, they often muddy the water about what they really mean because people tend to speak through an autobiographical lens, i.e., "this is my truth because it is from my perspective". Sometimes making ourselves understood is easier said than done. Those moments when you need to read between the lines. The subtext is what makes life interesting. I have heard some variation of the belief that we must mean the things we say if we are saying them. It isn't rocket science to know that your empty words have a negative effect on those whom they are dispersed to. Promises that aren’t kept; what-ifs; seem to be the most common forms. Kind of like the other Golden Rule, “If you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all,” what is the need to say things if you don’t mean them? People need to think before they speak. Especially this day and age where people read into every little text message, spoken word, and vague look. I hav...

Last week I attended a session wherein Guru Gaur Gopal Das Ji was a speaker and he shared his views on why we should Respond and not React to any adverse situation. I went through many of his videos on YouTube and tried to understand why we Respond or React. We all experience plenty of negative situations and people. The key is to be prepared to consciously Respond to these negative inputs. Choosing to Respond instead of Reacting helps us to demonstrate reliable reactions with increases predictability for others and reduces their stress when they interact with us. When we React, we make a purely emotional and subconscious decision. On the other hand, when we respond to a situation, we make a constructive and conscious decision. When we simply React, our emotional instinct is in control, with little thought of the long-range consequences. When we Respond, our brain is fully engaged, and our self-awareness is high. We have long-term consequences in mind. But it's not easy to res...

Having been in Sales for so many years, learned quite early that If You Don’t Ask, You Don’t Get and If you do not ask, the answer will always be No. You’ll never know if you don’t even try. There is giant power in Asking for What You Want. All too often, our internal chatter prevents us from taking the steps needed to get us to what we want. We get kept small from our inner imaginings-so many of which are lies. You only learn things when You Ask Questions. You Get in Life What you have the Courage to Ask For. Before you “Assume” Try this crazy method called “Asking” The Best of the Best, those who live glorious lives – that matter - Ask Like Crazy. They understand that it’s a habit that must be polished for it to shine. And the more you do it, the easier it gets (like any skill). And so You Ask. For the support and help, you need at work. For understanding, You may seek at home. For a break, You need for Your business. For a better table at Your favorite restaurant. For a better se...

Yesterday was the death anniversary of my Grand Father, I had a lot of Pleasant Memories of my time spent with him. Life may end but memories last forever. Some say Life is a Memory. The future doesn't exist but/and its something we imagine. The present is gone in a whiff, so everything we experience in our life is a Memory. We can live a long life, but without a lot of Memories, we only experience a short life. If we don’t remember our life, it’s like it never happened. At the end of the day all that matter is Memories, so let us make sure we make them. Most things are forgotten over time. Even the life-and-death struggle of the loved ones, we go through looks like something from the distant past, I am yet to come out of the loss of My Mother. However, there is no timeline for grieving. We can’t rush it. We will grieve, with their Memories in some form, forever. We’re so caught up in our everyday lives that events of the past are no longer in orbit around our minds. There are j...
