Get Back Up Again

I have been having a lot of conversations on a daily basis with many on the contours of the Present Ongoing Crisis. One theme which is emerging that there is certainly a lot of stress out there with so much uncertainty going on. Many have taken a severe beating in their business, many are struggling with the constant changes in their life and many fear the disease. This crisis has affected us all in some way. However, how we are coping up with the downfall is not the same for everyone. Few are still trying to get back & waiting. However, few have Got Back Up Again from their fall and are becoming Champion of their Work & Life.

A champion is defined not by their wins but by how they can recover when they fall. ~ Serena Williams. Whenever I read the above quote, I always remember my Business Partner for over seven years, Sridhar. I believe he is a True Champion, as I have seen him get up every time he has fallen down. In the last nine months, he has fought through a difficult medical condition. He has steered our Startup Jeevitam, a Livelihood Platform into the center stage of the present crisis through our Innovative Technology, bringing in New Big Customers & Convincing Investors to believe in our Journey. One important thing I have learned from him is to keep our emotions in another room every time We fall down or rise up in life. Easier said than done, but helps substantially.

I have seen that when life knocks us down; repeatedly, the easiest thing to do is blame someone or something, and maybe even ourselves for the situation we are in. However, doing that will only fill us with temporary satisfaction almost. I strongly believe that nothing is forever; the brightest day, the darkest night will eventually end. In a similar way, these ‘knockdowns’ in life are just momentary and will be the past of yesterday. Learning from these knockdowns and just moving ahead; guilt-free is the way I live. I’ll conclude by quoting Sylvester Stallone from the movie Rocky Balboa. “Life's not about how hard of a hit you can give... it's about how many you can take, and still keep moving forward.”

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...
