Be A Finisher!

There are better starters than me but I'm a strong finisher.~Usain Bolt. Talk is cheap. Action speaks.The idea of getting something started is important. It takes courage, effort, and energy. Anybody who can get something started is worthy of note (nothing changes until you change). But what’s the point of starting if you don’t finish? Finisher for me is someone who is clear about his purpose, has the discipline to do the work every day, and who knows the importance of keeping his promises to himself and others.

But What it Takes to be a Finisher? Those who labor on have that little extra. They understand their purpose – They are clear to themselves and others about their “WHY;” they don’t find themselves second-guessing (too much!) what they are doing, why they are running. They have the discipline. They have the mental toughness to continue. They stay true to themselves. They have chosen their battles well. They know you can’t do everything, and it’s better to choose just a few things and do them well. They know that mental toughness is a muscle. With practice, you can get good at not quitting.

So right here, right now, reach deep into your heart. And commit from the best place that inhabits you - to finish the important things you start. Because Beginners are many; finishers are few. Whatever it takes to Finish things, Finish. Don’t be a 90-percenter. Be A Finisher.

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...
