Life is all about choices we make!

This week's last two days were spent by us formulating Strategy for the Year 2020 of our Startups in our Monthly Strategy Review Meet. New Year, New Beginning, New Choices to be made. I again learned that Strategy we all agreed for the year in our review was all about making choices. We chose among many choices that existed for us and that will dictate what we will do and more importantly what we will NOT do during the Year. The choices we made will also determine the allocation of our resources, capital, bandwidth, etc during the Year. I know the most difficult part for us will be the discipline of sticking to the chosen options and not stray during the year.

On the personal front also like every year, this year too like most of us I have also made goals at the starting of the year. However, the Difference probably I can make this year is to make the right choices. I believe If I choose to confront the options before me with courage and confidence, I will try to open myself to a fulfilling path of my own design, filled with numerous possibilities. Rather than procrastinate in fear of making the wrong decisions, I will need to weigh my options and act on the best one available and revel in the chance to create the life I always wanted to live.

None of us can predict what life has in store for us in the year 2020. However, it is so important for us to understand that we will be making choices all the time during the year, even when we choose not to choose we would still have made a choice. It is our choices that will determine our experiences during the year. The quality of our life ultimately is shaped by the quality of our choices and decisions. I again wish that all of you are also able to Take Charge & Take Care of Yourself in the Year 2020. And make the right choices all year. I Wish You All again a Very Happy & Prosperous New Year 2020.

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...
