Why Should Anyone Choose Change?

In the last couple of Months we all have observed that the world has changed and it's not going to be the same again. Our Lives have changed. The Business or Job we do may change, our business models may change or the way we live and work may change. I have spoken to many of my clients, friends & relatives in the last few days and everyone accepts that there is going to be a big change but what bothers me that many of them still refuse to start making changes in the way they live and work. They still hope that once the lockdown lifts everything may be the same again, their business/job & lives will back to pre-crisis times. They just want to wait & watch.
At the same time, few of them have accepted the change which is coming. They are not waiting for the lockdown to open and working hard to make things happen. They all are exploring new opportunities coming out of this crisis, creating new business models, working on synergies/partnerships, basically working hard & overtime to get ready for the new world. Believe me, It's not easy for them as they have to take hard decisions for businesses which they have built over the years, forego their ego while they are working on synergies & partnerships, Unlearn old ways of doing things and Learn new  Innovative ideas which will find acceptance in the new world.
In our Startup Jeevitam, we have accepted the change, worked overtime & hard in the lockdown to come up with new innovative ways of doing business like Digital Job Fairs/Campus Placements, etc, stitched new partnerships with Corporates, Governments & Industry Bodies and are creating new business models. To relate to the above points will like to share a story sent by one of my Senior Friends this week, of an eagle who at the age of 40 years, has to make a tough choice to increase its lifespan to 70 years. At this point, the Eagle has only two choices.DIE or bear a painful process and CHANGE. The Eagle chooses pain & goes through 150 days of painful transformation and lives for 30 more years. So why should anyone choose to change? We All Need To Change To Not Just Survive, But To Thrive. Get Ready For The Change And Fly Like An Eagle.
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...
