Have the Courage to Follow Your Heart and Intuition!

This week while speaking to potential investors, potential clients, potential partners, I realised while sharing all the desired data, information required for them to take decisions, at the end I expected them to follow their heart and intuition while taking decisions. However, the mind needs to see things before believing that they are possible. It needs to see the proof that if they follow their heart and intuition, they will get the things they want to get. And since we have created a society that honors the servant – rational mind, and has forgotten the gift – the intuitive mind, as Albert Einstein said it so beautifully, we listen to our fearful mind more than we listen to our heart and intuition. It takes a lot of courage to not allow the noise of the rationale mind drown out our own inner voice. I believe if we follow our heart and intuition, we will always receive the things we wish to receive.

“Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” ~ Steve Jobs. In my life I have always listened to my heart more than my rational mind. I have seen following my heart is what determines my passion, my desire, and my love for people and things alike. Most people leave things to others, or to chance. Yes, our heart does speak to us, so next time we feel our heart yearn for something, remember that if we really truly desire an experience from the very depth of our being, then we are meant to have it. Settling for less than we deserve or truly desire simply because we feel scared to change our situation is not what we are here to do! 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.
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 about 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 body. 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...
