When will it be Your Turn to Live Your Dream?

Yesterday I was talking to one of my Younger Brother's Friends who had hit ceiling in his Armed Forces Career and was struggling to figure out his next career move, his next opportunity to live up to his dreams. I believe we all have a dream. A dream that we spend days, months, even years thinking about and wishing it was a reality. This dream, if fulfilled, could mean a major life transition that brings us greater purpose and happiness. Whatever dream is close to our heart – writing a book, moving to a new city, leaving that soul-sucking job to become a Startuprenure like me – I think it’s surely possible.

All great things start in our imagination. However, I have seen with many that once we imagine something, we may not act on it because of fear, self-doubt and life circumstances. I think the difference between who make the cut and others is - are we limited by our current capabilities or be unlimited by the open possibilities and thus become limitless. Over the years, while pursuing my dream as a Startuprenure, I have learned that it takes a lot of life adjustments, a great belief in ourselves and a steady focus on fulfilling the given dream. Our dreams are often at odds with our realities, demanding freedoms and resources we may not have. But this doesn't make them impossible to achieve.

We all have to start dreaming before we can achieve anything. I strongly believe that when it comes to any insane dream, it can definitely be achieved with lots of hard work and relentless persistence. Most of all our dreams can be fulfilled this way. 2020 is almost here. Some people say New Year's resolutions don’t work. I disagree. I’ve used them all the time. My this year's resolution is to take our Startup to a hundred million dollar Enterprise Value. Let us take this month to contemplate, start working, experimenting, thinking, getting mentally ready to live up to our dream and make a real commitment to achieving it. Come a year from now, We All could have a totally different life.

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...
