To Travel is To Live To Learn!

This week I had the opportunity to Lead a Business Delegation of Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) to Italy for a week as its Mission Leader. It was a big opportunity given to me by CII to learn how two Nations can collaborate and open Opportunities for Business and it's People. Often times, I stop and reflect on how travel has changed my life. During these times, I realize how much travel is a part of me. Travel has always opened up so many doors and opportunities for me. For me, travel is Living & Learning. It is seizing each day and making the most out of every situation. For me, travel is experiencing things beyond the usual and is consistently challenging, exciting, and fulfilling.

Travel has a way of stretching the mind. The stretch comes from experiencing firsthand how others do differently, what we believed to be the right and only way. I believe people who don’t travel cannot have a global view, all they see is what’s in front of them. Those people cannot accept new things because all they know is where they live. The more I traveled the more I realized that fear makes strangers of people who should be friends. More Importantly, Travel brings riches in Life with Experiences, Learnings and Making New Friends.

When we travel we learn so much, opening our mind and heart and becoming a better person. We become open to experiencing and learning what the world has to offer and shape our worldview around it. I believe To Travel is to take a journey into yourself, To Live & To Learn. Once we have traveled, the voyage never ends but is played out over and over again in the quietest chambers of our mind. No one realizes how beautiful it is to travel until he comes home and rests his head on his old, familiar pillow. So sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

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...
