Don't use Your Head when it comes to Your Heart!

 This Sunday I happen to see a Movie 'Gulmohar' on the OTT Platform. It's one of the good movies seen in a long time. This movie is all about emotions, family & relationships. One of the dialogues which stuck with me was 'Don't use Your Head when it comes to Your Heart'. I think it's a phrase that is a reminder to trust our intuition and make decisions based on our feelings and inner guidance, rather than solely relying on logic and reason. When we listen to our hearts, we tap into a deeper sense of knowing that comes from within. It's a sense that can be difficult to put into words, but we all recognize it when we feel it. It's that feeling of being in the right place at the right time, of knowing that something is true without needing any external proof, and of feeling a deep sense of connection with the world around us. Listening to our hearts is about more than just following our emotions or making impulsive decisions. It's about learning to trust our intuition and cultivate a deeper sense of self-awareness and connection with the world around us. By doing so, we can make decisions that truly align with our values and desires, and live a more fulfilling and authentic life.

When faced with a decision or conflict, our mind may come up with numerous, different and quite logical reasons why we should act as it advises, but if we listen to and trust our heart—however illogical or irrational it may seem—it is usually right and we are happier as a result. There is great brilliance and beauty inherent within the mind because it is capable of understanding the most intricate scientific and mathematical theories and can make complicated corporate decisions. Yet the same mind can get caught up in trivia and nonsense, becoming upset or even unglued over a seemingly harmless remark. It runs our life, pushing and pulling us in all directions, from attraction to repulsion, creating endless dramas in acting out our insecurities and fears, because it is not in touch with our deeper feelings. It is actually a source of great richness, and this wealth is one that cannot be squandered or lost. It is the core, the essence of our being, a reservoir of joy, powerful love and infinite compassion that lies within us.

If we only consider our gut or our heart or our head, we’ll miss out on a lot of important information. We’re apt to not feel in alignment with the path we choose. If we work to find a decision that our gut, heart, and head are in alignment with, we will feel a sense of all the lights turning on in our bodies. Our heads are programmed to keep us safe, to think of all the reasons why our guts and our hearts are wrong. I call the part of our mind that comes up with all the what-ifs and yeah-buts the Voice of Doubt. Any time we have a call that will take us into the unknown or asks us to let go of something that’s been important to us, the Voice of Doubt will appear. To soothe our inner Voice of Doubt, we need to learn how to respond to it with compassion, understand what it needs, and take steps to meet our many needs while also following our heart. If we keep paying attention, over and over and over again, to our gut and our heart and our head, we’ll be equipped to make wise decisions that take into account the fullness of who we are.

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...
