Fire in the Belly!

 This week I flew to Chennai to meet a senior Bureaucrat to collaborate for the Social & Financial Inclusion of Vulnerable Segments. Whenever I meet him, what sets him apart from others is his strong drive, passion and determination to help as many in the state get skilled and find Sustainable Livelihood. I see him as an individual who is highly motivated, dedicated to the cause and wants to set an example for others to follow. I believe everyone has a unique passion and drive that fuels our ambition and helps us navigate life’s ups and downs. This inner fire, often referred to as 'Fire in the Belly,' motivates us to pursue our goals and dreams, no matter what obstacles may arise. 'Fire in the Belly' refers to a deep-seated passion and drive that propels us forward, no matter what. It’s the 'Fire in the Belly' that keeps us going when things get tough and helps us stay focused and motivated. People with 'Fire in the Belly' are often described as having a Strong Sense of Purpose and a Burning Desire to achieve Goals.

A Strong Sense of Purpose gives individuals like me the drive, motivation, and determination to sustain our passion and efforts towards our pursuits, leading to what is often called 'Fire in the Belly.' I have experienced this kind of drive and motivation can be a powerful force for our personal and professional growth, enabling us to overcome challenges and achieve our aspirations. "Lakshya" is one of my all-time favourite Bollywood movies that tells the story of a young man named Karan who starts out as an aimless individual and eventually discovers his purpose in life through his journey in the Indian Army. Through his experiences, the movie shows that having a strong sense of purpose can give direction and meaning to one's life and lead to personal growth and fulfillment. In our Startup Jeevitam, we have also discovered our strong sense of purpose to help Vulnerable Segments in their Social and Financial Inclusion which keeps us going.

Burning Desire to Achieve Goals is a crucial aspect of having "Fire in the Belly". In our startup Jeevitam, we are a team of dedicated individuals who have this intense drive & motivation to pursue Jeevitam"s Goal to help Vulnerable Segments in their Social & Financial Inclusion. It provides all of us the energy and determination necessary to overcome any obstacles or challenges that may come along our way. With this level of passion and desire, we remain focused and dedicated to our goals and do not allow us to give up or lose our motivation when faced with difficulties. A well-defined purpose & burning desire to achieve a goal are powerful motivators that can help individuals & business reach their full potential and overcome any obstacle that may come their way. With a clear vision and a supportive network, anyone can cultivate a Fire in the Belly to achieve their goals and turn their dreams into reality.

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...
