Have the Courage!

This week while seeing one of the serials on OTT, the leading Actress had some inspirational lines to share on 'Courage'. As per her, to survive in this world, we all need Courage, Guts. Courage to follow unconventional paths in life. Courage to be vulnerable. Courage to let go of what doesn't feel right. Courage to put yourself out there and take chances. Courage to settle for nothing less than you deserve. Courage to always go after what you really, really want. I am totally in Sync with the Inspirational lines on Courage shared by her. Courage for me is indeed a valuable attribute that can be very helpful in navigating life's challenges. I believe it can help us overcome fear, take risks, and face difficult situations with confidence and determination. My Father has not been keeping well the whole of this week and I realised that having courage to face these difficult times can be particularly important to push past obstacles.

Having the courage to follow unconventional paths in life can be both challenging and rewarding. In our Startup Jeevitam, we are always willing to take risks, step outside of our comfort zone, and challenge the status quo, societal norms and expectations. I personally believe courage is not the absence of fear, but the willingness to act in spite of it. Over the years I have learnt that by identifying our passions, setting realistic goals, being open-minded, surrounding ourselves with supportive people, and embracing uncertainty, we can find the courage to follow an unconventional path and create a fulfilling life that's true to who we are. Having the courage to be vulnerable can be difficult, as it requires us to open ourselves up to the possibility of rejection, criticism, and emotional pain. Letting go of something that doesn't feel right can be one of the most courageous things a person can do. I have seen, it takes courage to acknowledge that something isn't working or isn't making you happy, and it takes even more courage to take action and let it go.
Having the courage to put ourselves out there and take chances can be a difficult thing to do, but it is an important part of personal growth and achieving our goals. In my Startup Journey with Jeevitam, I have learnt to be patient with myself, and keep pushing myself & everyone around me to take those steps to achieve goals we have set for ourselves. I believe having the courage to settle for nothing less than what we deserve is an important aspect of self-respect and self-worth. It means to me that we recognize our own value and are willing to advocate for ourself in all areas of our life, including our personal relationships, our career, and our personal goals. Yes, with Practice and Persistence, we can develop the confidence and self-assurance we need to stand up for ourselves and demand the respect and recognition we truly deserve. We have to keep in mind that having the courage to pursue our dreams takes time and effort, but believe me it is all the worth it in the end. Let us not let out fears hold us back from achieving our goals and living the life we truly want. And like Gabbar Singh said in the famous movie 'Sholay' "To Liive in Fear is to Not Live at All (Jo Dar Gaya, Samjho Mar Gaya). Let us Have the Courage to Live the Life We Want To Live.
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...
