Unselfish Thinking!

This week I read a small book 'How Successful People Think' written by John Maxwell. Chapter 10 is titled, “Practice Unselfish Thinking.” He says that Unselfish Thinking brings personal fulfillment and adds value to others. When we practice Unselfish Thinking we are paying it forward, and increasing the quality of our life of those around us. And to practice Unselfish Thinking we need to put others first, expose ourself to situations where people have needs and continually check our motives.

Adopting new modes of thinking boosts our chances of success, but there’s also a way of thinking about the world that can change our entire life: Unselfish Thinking. Taking that up might just redefine our concept of success itself. But the best thing about Unselfish Thinking is that it lets us become part of something much bigger than Ourself.

Over the years, I have seen that as we go into any relationship, we need to think about how we can invest in the other person so it becomes a Win-Win situation. The best relationships are Win-Win. Why don’t more people go into relationships with that attitude? I’ll tell you why. Most people want to make sure They Win First. Unselfish Thinkers, on the other hand, go into a relationship and make sure that the other person Wins First. And that makes all the difference. That’s my take on Unselfish Thinking and Success. What’s yours?

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...
