Being Compassionate!

 The present ongoing crisis has brought into focus the compassionate side of many of us. We have seen the heart-warming stories of people reaching out to the less fortunate abound during the ongoing pandemic. Across India, many Philanthropy Organizations & Individuals have been at the forefront of charity work. From donating home-cooked meals to migrant workers to offering financial support to daily wage workers, many came forward in this crisis and contributed their bit. In times of crisis like the present one, compassion has unified us all.

Since the onset of the ongoing crisis, Saving Lives and Saving Livelihood has been the focus of all. Our Startup Jeevitam, a Livelihood Platform for the vulnerable segments of society, has suddenly come into center stage. We have been working with Government Bodies, Industry Associations, and Philanthropy Organizations to help vulnerable segments find Sustainable Livelihood for their Security & Dignity. While working with many of these Philanthropy Organizations I was amazed to see the kind of work they have been doing to help people in need because of the ongoing crisis. Compassion which means the willingness to give, I believe has been the driving force behind all the work being done by them.

If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion ~  Dalai Lama. These words are instructive because they refer to the emotional benefits of compassion to both the giver and recipient. In other words, the rewards of practicing compassion work both ways. I think to feel sympathy for someone is just not enough. We must also be willing to take action. I believe a single act of compassion can change a person’s life forever. If we take it upon ourselves to show compassion, even in little ways, we can make a tremendous impact on the lives of others. I have experienced how rewarding life can be when we sincerely make the effort to bring hope and opportunity to those facing challenges in the present crisis. This Ongoing Crisis requires all of us to step forward, reach out, be compassionate, and help as many in need.

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...
