Power of Hope!

This week the Indian Government also launched its stimulus package. It was launched with the hope that it will help kickstart the economy which has been under lockdown for some time now. Hope is the little voice we hear whisper MAYBE the stimulus will give us all the required impact when it seems the entire world shouting NO! The power of Hope energizes us with life. It keeps us going when times are tough. It creates excitement in us for the future. It gives us reasons to live. It gives to us even when we have little or nothing left.
Hope shines brightest when the hour is darkest. We all hope that medical science will be able to find a vaccine for the virus that has affected all. Hope believes when the evidence is limited. All those who have been affected by the Virus hope that they will be able to recover fast. Hope energizes when the body is tired. Migrant workers walking for miles hope that he will be able to find Livelihood and his family safe back home. Hope sings when all melodies are gone. School kids are hopeful that they will be able to play with friends and go back to school again. Hope presses toward victory when no one is encouraging. College Students completing their graduation are hopeful that they will find work in the area they live in. Hope endures hardship when no one is caring. All of us are hopeful that we will be able to go back to work again and life will be back to normal. Hope dares to give when no one is sharing.
I believe fast Changing Landscape because of the ongoing crisis will require Imagination, Vision, Cooperation, and Efforts - all driven by the Power of Hope. In our Startup Jeevitam, we have recently created Partnership with leading Finance Company and Fundraising Foundation, with the hope to help Migrant Workers and Small Traders in their Livelihood. I believe Hope cannot make the problems we face go away, nor can it solve them. But it gives us something, even more, enduring: the motivation to keep going, in spite of it all. And as we begin to look beyond the immediate crisis, hope is the one commodity we all must harness. I now know, for myself at least, Power of Hope won’t be in short supply.
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...
