This week I saw this post on LinkedIn to which I could relate very much. It talks about Introducing Yourself First, Helping a Stranger First, Say Hello First - these Three Simple Actions may seem small, but they can have a big impact on our life and the lives of those around us. Introducing Ourselves First, I have experienced is an important step towards building connections with others. By introducing ourselves, we open the door to new relationships, new opportunities, and new experiences. Helping a Stranger First as I wrote in my blog last week, is an Act of Impact that can make a huge difference in someone's life. When we help others in any way, we not only make a positive impact on their lives, but we also feel good about ourselves. Saying Hello First is a small gesture, but it can go a long way towards making someone feel welcome and valued. I still remember when I used to go with my younger daughter to drop her to school, she would greet everyone she saw on her way. Hello Uncle! Hello Didi! Hello Bhaiya! Saying Hello to everyone showed to everyone that she was friendly, approachable, and willing to engage with others. I was known as Father of my younger daughter Ira in the entire society. All three of these actions - Introducing Yourself First, Helping a Stranger First, and Saying Hello First - share a common theme: Initiative. Life rewards those who take Initiative - those who are willing to take risks, those who step outside of their comfort zones, and reach out to others.
Taking Initiative has been important aspect of my life as a Startuprenure. In our Startup Jeevitam, Taking Initiatives has always helped us stay ahead of the curve and remain competitive. Taking Initiatives has always helped us come up with new and unique ideas that set us apart & ahead of others. Taking Initiatives has always helped us to be more innovative, adaptable, quickly seize opportunities and tackle challenges. Taking Initiatives has always helped us to challenge the status quo and Reimagine the way things are done. For example, we are reimagining the way College Placement Drives happen in India. We have taken the Initiative to Reimagine the way Vulnerable Segments can be helped in their Social & Financial Inclusion at a scale which is unprecedented. Accordingly, we have now created a strong foundation for growth of our Startup Jeevitam. Indeed, Life rewards those who Take the Initiative, it encourages individuals to Take Responsibility for their lives, and pursue their goals with determination and persistence, believing that their efforts will ultimately be rewarded. Life is a journey full of opportunities and challenges. Life rewards those who Take the Initiative to create their own path and make things happen, rather than waiting for others to do it for them. This is a fundamental truth that applies to all aspects of life, whether personal or professional.
Initiative is an essential trait for success in all aspects of life. In the professional world, successful entrepreneurs, leaders, and innovators are those who take the initiative and create new opportunities. Similarly, in our personal lives, those who take the initiative to improve their relationships, health, and well-being are the ones who reap the rewards. Unfortunately, many people make the mistake of waiting for someone else to make the first move, hoping that things will magically fall into place. However, this is not a recipe for success. In fact, life rarely rewards those who wait for others to take the initiative. It often means missing out on valuable opportunities as we may not be prepared to take advantage of them. It often means putting our fate in someone else's hands, which can be a scary and disempowering experience. Life does not reward those who wait for others to take the initiative. Instead, it's important to be proactive and take control of our own life. Whether it's pursuing our dreams, seeking out new opportunities, or taking the first step in a new relationship, being proactive can lead to a sense of empowerment and fulfillment that is hard to come by when we are waiting for someone else to take the lead. So let us all not wait for others to make the first move. Take the Initiative and Create the Life we always wanted to Live.
Happy Sunday!! Keep Moving & Smiling!!
