Share Your Story!

This week I was on a Panel of a Start-up Conclave and had the opportunity to share my Startup Journey with the audience who were Startupreneurs. I was enthused by the response I received from all & that's the time I realized the importance of Sharing Your Story. I believe we don’t have to be a writer or a performer to share our powerful story. Truthtelling is all about letting the world know what’s in our hearts. In diving into and sharing our story, we free ourself from the burdens of the past and allow ourself to step into glorious new chapters in our life. All while letting other people who might feel alone in their journey know that they aren’t.

Sharing your story can be a great path toward self-love: It affirms that we are worthy of having a voice, worthy of being heard, worthy of being cared for, and worthy of being loved. It helps to think about our life as a story with a beginning, a middle, and an end. It helps to think about how the various events—even the not good ones—have been part of a journey toward the person we want to become. There may be times when we are simply not ready to talk about our story—and that’s okay! But when we are ready to share, do so—for everyone’s sake. We don’t just tell our story because of the good it does to us; we do so as a service to others who may be struggling with similar issues.

Sharing your story is heart work. It's not easy work, but owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we will ever do. In my recent experience,
I realized that we don’t just help people by sharing our story — we find people who care by sharing. Besides, it also offers the opportunity for someone to help us. I believe when we speak of things that we feel deeply, it is more likely that we’ll be able to touch the hearts of others. Our heartache is someone else’s hope. Share Your Story, as we do not know how one sentence of our story can inspire someone to rewrite their own.

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...
