Run Aways from Negativity!

This week I ran away from one of the WhatsApp Groups because it was becoming Very Negative or Not Positive (somehow I do not like the word Negative, I am replacing it with the word 'Not Positive). I believe people become Not Positive when they have issues not fixed. It may be that they’ve never had the chance, don’t know how to or simply don’t want to fix the issues they have in their life. And for those who don’t want to do, it is because fixing the problem requires some work, which they are not comfortable doing. The problem I see comes when we are friends with these people. Many Non Positive posts by them in social media centers on our current situation. They will present facts and all the necessary statistics to show that we can’t go far. In fact, we can’t go anywhere.

So when someone wants to dump Non-Positivity on us, we don’t need to take it personally. Just smile wave, wish them well, and move on. Believe me. We’ll be much happier. When we are on our journey to success, we cannot afford to be around Not Positive people. What we need is supportive and inspiring people. I am grateful for every single person who has come into my life, every person who has shaped my life, those who came to teach lessons and those who are a real blessing, they were all as important as each other, as they all shaped who I am today. Now I feel am wise enough to decide who will stay and who I must distance myself from who adds value and who takes it away.

Letting go of Not Positive people doesn’t mean we don't like them. It just means that we love ourselves more. We need to show ourselves some love and walk away while we still can. I think Not Positive people have a Problem for every Solution. The less we respond to Not Positive, the more peaceful our life will become. If our attempts to lift someone out of negativity are unsuccessful, we have to walk away. However, if we can't walk away from the Not Positive people, we need to do the next best thing...RUN!!

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...
