When You Take On Something Give It Everything You've Got!

This week I saw a post made by Indra Nooyi on LinkedIn wherein she shared her experience when she arrived in the US - She shares that 'She was Green, full of ambition, and nervous about what her future would hold. They say the best time to plant a tree was 10 years ago. The second best time is Now. To this version of herself, she would say: plant the tree. She says When you take on something give it everything you've got. Be yourself and if people can't accept who you are, it's their Loss'. In ongoing crises many of us are struggling to get up, we need to remind ourselves why we are doing, what we are doing? And we need to be in the moment, challenge ourselves and give it everything thing we’ve got, no matter how painful it is, every day with No excuses. It’s either that — or living with the pain of regret. I know have chosen Our Start-up Jeevitam, to give it everything I have got.

'Wherever you go, go with all your heart.' ~ Confucius. 

In my over thirty years of experience, I have learned that some people succeed over others because they give 100% to whatever they commit to. Most of us commit to something but usually give it a half-hearted effort. It means that we don’t have that much energy for it, we are not that motivated for it, or interested in doing it, or inspired but still participate in whatever we are doing. Putting a half-hearted effort into things that matter in life means we are constantly falling short of our potential. Our “half-hearted effort” is still exhausting. It consumes energy without producing results. It’s stressful. It makes us feel like a failure when we’re not. It’s just that we haven’t fully committed to something. This is why we need to do everything wholeheartedly, we need to give our 100%. Doing things wholeheartedly means we bring our whole self to work and we lead from our heart. This way we will be more likely to be the person who cares more, shares more, understand more, say more, feels more, hears more, and is liked more. I firmly believe we can accomplish anything if we do it with all our hearts.

'It's nice to invest yourself fully in whatever you're doing. I think it's best to try and give everything you've got; otherwise, what's the point? ~ Joshua Sasse.'

 For me, Passion equals commitment. Over the years as a Startuprenure, I have learned not to hold back on my level of passion. Jeevan, our startup allows me to commit to what it is my love and I don’t spend a waking moment not coming up with my next move. Through my passion, I get to see the potential I have in my own passion. Besides, I believe in commitment and an endless pursuit to find a path and walk down it with my own two feet. This is where I find the energy I need to do what I always wanted to do. Yes, I believe we can do whatever we put our mind to. We all need to make a decision and then act. Go All Out and Give Everything You've Got.

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...
