No Goal is hard to achieve when pursued with devotion!

This week BJP received a unprecedented victory. Amit Shah, an intense Hindu nationalist played a very vital role in this victory. He combined his belief in India being a potential world leader with the conviction that no goal is hard to achieve when pursued with devotion. He set one such goal for himself when he said the party needed to expand and make gains in inhospitable terrain, setting the stage for “Operation Coromandel” which saw BJP making impressive gains in West Bengal, Odisha and Telangana. Success did not come on a platter. Shah, a diabetic on insulin thrice a day, visited Mamata Banerjee’s fortress 84 times as party president. He also conceived the North East Democratic Alliance as part of an outreach that saw the party emerge as the predominant national party in the region and fetch a record number of seats in this election.

The journey to our goals and grand ambitions are often fraught with failure, hardship, and inner discord as we strive to make something real out of what begins as a lucid impression in our minds, and a yearning in our hearts. This is where the true test of our inner grit and resiliency begins to unfold — where we can choose to pursue the goal with devotion, or not at all. Devotion is the glue that galvanises our motivation, allowing us to press ahead with integrity and fervor. Our goals demand wholehearted and emphatic efforts, testing us all the way, yet whispering through the quiet recesses of our innermost being to just go the distance.

Over the years I have learned that mental devotion to my vision is something I must do before anything else. Those exciting goals must be converted into reality. They have to become a part of my identity and who I am. Only if you can become totally loyal and responsible to what you want, can you overcome challenges and any setbacks along the way. Our goals are delicately sculpted by a fierce and spirited love and determined by our passionate and faithful devotion.

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...
