It's All in the Mind!

This week I saw a post on LinkedIn by one of our Ex Colleagues who shared his experience of Conquering Comrades Ultra Marathon. In the Year 2019 it was difficult for him to run 90 meters and here in 2023 he could conquer Ultra Marathon. He attributes his remarkable success to his mind which set out to achieve the impossible Task, his peers dissuaded him, however with his unwavering will, dedication and focus he could achieve the success. In our Startup Journey, so many times when we had set our minds on a particular goal which seemed impossible initially, however fueled by unwavering will, dedication, and focus, we could achieve the numbers we had set for ourselves. Whether it's conquering a challenging task, pursuing a lifelong dream, or overcoming obstacles, the power of the mind plays a pivotal role in shaping our reality. I personally believe that It's All in the Mind and if we set our mindset, it empowers us to achieve anything we set our sights on. “Whatever you hold in your mind will tend to occur in your life. If you continue to believe as you have always believed, you will continue to act as you have always acted. If you continue to act as you have always acted, you will continue to get what you have always gotten. If you want different results in your life or your work, all you have to do is change your mind.” – Anonymous

Willpower, the driving force behind our actions, enables us to harness our inner strength and propel ourselves forward. I have experienced so many times that when we possess a strong will to succeed, we are able to summon the determination necessary to overcome obstacles and persevere through adversity. And in this journey our Willpower acts as a guiding light, pushing us beyond our comfort zones and instilling within us the belief that we can achieve our targets we had set for ourselves. It helps us stay focused and committed, even when faced with setbacks or challenges. With unwavering will, we develop resilience and the ability to bounce back from failures, using them as stepping stones towards ultimate success. On the other hand Dedication, the unwavering commitment to our chosen path, ensures that we remain steadfast in our pursuit of excellence. In our Startup Jeevitam we have a Team which has unwavering focus and the willingness to invest time and efforts into our endeavors. Dedication keeps us on track, helping us stay motivated even when the initial excitement wanes or when the going gets tough. It drives us to consistently work towards our goals, putting in the necessary practice, learning, and improvement required for success. Dedication involves making sacrifices, prioritizing our goals, and being disciplined in our actions, all of which contribute to achieving extraordinary outcomes.
Focus, the ability to direct our attention and energy towards our desired outcomes, is a vital component in accomplishing our goals. Our Mentors have always guided us to minimize distractions and channel our limited resources into what truly matters. They have consistently pushed us to maintain laser-like focus, we has enhanced our efficiency, productivity, and creativity, allowing us to make significant progress. Focus helps us break down complex tasks into manageable steps, enabling us to work systematically towards our objectives. By eliminating mental clutter and honing our concentration, we harness the full potential of our minds and unlock the power to achieve the impossible tasks we set for ourselves. The human mind possesses remarkable capabilities when fueled by will, dedication, and focus. When we set our minds to something, the strength of our willpower propels us forward, enabling us to overcome challenges and setbacks. Dedication ensures our unwavering commitment to our goals, driving us to consistently invest time, effort, and resources into achieving them. Finally, focus allows us to harness the power of our minds, channeling our energy and attention towards what truly matters. With this triumvirate of qualities, we have the potential to achieve anything we desire. So, let us embrace the power of our minds and embark on a journey of boundless possibilities, knowing that when our mind sets to do something, with will, dedication, and focus, we can accomplish extraordinary feats.
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...
