Making Life a Celebration!


Diwali, which is one of the most important festivals in India, done differently this year. Much less fanfare but a lot more togetherness and still it's quite the celebration. In the Indian culture, there was a time when there used to be a festival every day of the year – 365 festivals in a year – because a festival is a tool to bring life to a state of exuberance and enthusiasm. That was the significance and importance of festivals. The whole culture was in a state of celebration. If today was plowing day, it was a kind of celebration. Tomorrow was planting day, another kind of celebration. During festivals like Diwali, family, and friends get together for the celebrations.

If we approach everything in a celebratory way, we learn to be non-serious about life but absolutely involved. As I reflect on this, I see the value in celebrating every day and figured we could all benefit from taking a moment to celebrate the little and big achievements in our lives. Can We Start Our Day as a Celebration? Celebrate the fact that we are alive. Can we celebrate our Micro Achievements? All too often we take ourselves for granted. Just finished writing a challenging e-mail to someone? Take a moment and celebrate that we did it. Can We Celebrate Others? When we celebrate all the good things others do for us, it helps us appreciate others more and it helps others feel great too.

Life is a Celebration. Live Out Loud. Live it Now. ~ Nikki Starr. Every day, life is a celebration for those, who know how to live life and make the most out of it. Only deep knowledge can bring a celebration, and we need to bring the celebration to everyone. When we celebrate the happenings of life we bring awareness and focus to these wonderful feelings and attract even more of this goodness into our lives. What better way to celebrate life than to live it. The celebration is a feeling and everyone has the power to feel, his way, with every different situation of his life. Let us all Create any reason to Celebrate Life! Let us all Focus on the Positives in our Life and have a Very Happy and Prosperous Diwali. I wish you all time filled with Love, Light, and Happiness...Today and Always.

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...
