Reinvent was the Theme of the Year'2022!

As we are in the last few days of the year 2022, it's also a time to reflect on the year gone by. As I look back on the year 2022, one theme for me which stands out this year was Reinventing Everything around us. Reinvent the way we Work & Live, Reinvent the Business Models, Reinvent the way we Meet People, Reinvent the way we Travel, Reinvent the way we do shopping, etc. For all the Corporates & those Individuals who read the writings on the Wall and Reinvented, survived, and are thriving. And for all those who did not Reinvent themselves, are facing challenges. I keep saying that in the last two years since the onset of the crisis, New Business Models/New Ways of Working/Learning/Living have emerged and the New Hybrid World has emerged. This New Normal forced everyone to Reinvent and change as per the demand of New realities to Survive. Whether it's an Individual or a Corporate, We are never too old/late to Reinvent Ourselves.

In the uncertainty of fast-changing times, it’s always easy to focus on what’s tried-and-true, to want to stick with what’s familiar, and to resist taking chances. It’s also easy to get caught up in the negativity around us and give in to the self-limiting beliefs that prevent us from reinventing ourselves. I have myself experienced so many times that whenever we wanted to take a big step or a small step in reinventing ourselves, we always faced resistance. It can take the form of guilt, fear, uncertainty, or timidity. Resistance is often unreasonable, irrational, and full of unfounded fear and excuses. To push through resistance, we need to challenge our fears and doubts, focus on our aspirations, and do the required hard work. I believe that through the power of reinvention, we understand ourselves better and what we ourselves are capable of achieving. Throughout the Year'22, I have personally tried to Reinvent myself in the way I work and Live and feel that it's still a work in Progress. For example, I do not go to the office daily, I travel when it's required and important. I invest time in reading as much, invest time in my daily walks & health regime, etc. I believe the new myself has made me much more calmer and focussed. Reinvent for Better Yourself.

Commit to Reinvent Yourself, to know that real growth happens in a place of discomfort. ~ Les Brown. Unexpected events like the crisis which started two years ago disrupted our habitual routines, jolted us out of our comfort zones, and forced us to ask big questions about what mattered and what was worth doing. It’s no wonder that many people have Reinvented the Way They Work & Live. We all had to choose what posture to adopt against the New Normal – whether to be a shaper of the future, a fast follower or to manage defensively, putting off change. Staying the same was no longer an option. At our Startup Jeevitam, we decided to take the lead and be the shaper of the future. Accordingly, this year we reinvented ourselves to be Earning Partner For Life of the Vulnerable Segments. Paradigm shifts from a transactional relationship to a long-term Partnership.  I believe that the winners not only execute relentlessly against today’s imperatives but also innovate and transform themselves to prepare for the future. This future is forcing all of us to step out of our comfort zones, to Reinvent ourselves with emerging Possibilities & Opportunities arising With the Fast Changing Times. 

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...
