There is Light at the End of the Tunnel!

This week one video sent by my friend from the Middle East stood out in the context of the present crisis. I am sharing few excerpts: "Accept that we have no control over the situation. Let go of any thoughts of trying to plan too much for the next month or two, things change so fast. Don't be angry and annoyed at the system. Anxiety goes down. You make the best of the situation, whatever that might be for you. Accept that this is what it is, and things will get easier. Try not to listen to, read or watch too much media - it will drive you crazy, there is a thing as too much. The sense of community I have felt during this time is incredible. Appreciate this enforced downtime. To those beginning this journey, you will get through it, listen to what you are told, follow the rules, look out for each other, There is a Light at the End of the Tunnel.

The scale and magnitude of the present ongoing crisis are unimaginable. Besides the medical crisis, another crisis that is unraveling now is the crisis of Livelihood. Millions of citizens across the world have lost their livelihoods in the past many months. In the present circumstances, it may seem very hard to get to it, but I believe we can do it. It's just that we need to keep working towards it and we will soon find the positive side of things. When there is darkness all around, we have two choices: draw our attention to the fear or direct our focus towards the light. When we focus on the glimmer of light in the darkness of the tunnel, we renew our faith and trust that relief will soon follow.

No matter what we are going through, I strongly believe there's a Light at the End of the Tunnel. No matter how bad things are right now, it will be better soon. No matter how stuck we may feel, we will find innovative solutions to the problems. No matter how many days we may spend at home, we will find innovative ways to work. No matter how many days we may spend wishing things were different, we will unlearn and learn new ways of doing things. No matter how hopeless and depressed we may feel, things are going to look up again. There is light at the end of the tunnel if we all keep safe.

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...
