What’s the expected?

If u can’t communicate to yourself and others what’s ur expectations…it’s impossible to achieve.

So the first move is to know what’s ur expectations with you!

Second is to set others’ expectations according to yours

And then set the final action plan.

As soon as we have done this half our work is completed towards whatever we are expecting.

Clarity of purpose fuels success…

In the vibrant city of Bangalore, there lived a man named Raj. Each day, with the rising sun, he would greet the world armed with a meticulously crafted to-do list, ready to take on the day’s challenges. This routine had become a yearly tradition, yet he couldn’t shake the feeling of being trapped in a cycle of incremental progress.

One bright morning, as he gazed out of his window at the dawning day, a wave of introspection washed over him. He questioned himself, “Why, despite my efforts, do I seem to be standing still? Why haven’t I achieved what I aspire to?”

Raj pondered these questions, seeking answers within himself. Was it a lack of hard work? No, he worked diligently day in and day out. Was it a dearth of connections or a fear of past failures? Again, he concluded, it wasn’t.

As he delved deeper into his thoughts, it dawned on him. The missing piece wasn’t effort, history, or connections—it was a clear, unwavering goal, a singular vision, a defined direction that pulsed with purpose.

With newfound determination, Raj set out to uncover this elusive vision. He knew that within this clarity lay the key to his ultimate success. It wouldn’t come easy; he would need to battle doubt, navigate uncertainty, and forge his own path. Yet, he was willing to fight for it.

Weeks turned into months, and slowly but surely, the mist of uncertainty began to lift. Raj’s vision crystallized, and he embraced it with fervor. With each step forward, he could feel the energy and momentum building.

In the end, it wasn’t merely luck that guided him. It was the unwavering focus on that one goal, that one vision, that propelled him forward. The city around him buzzed with life, but within Raj, there was a quiet, resolute force propelling him toward his destiny.

And as time passed, Raj’s journey became a testament to the power of having a clear purpose. He learned that in the grand tapestry of life, it’s not just about crossing off tasks on a list, but about channeling your energy towards a singular, meaningful direction. It’s in this pursuit that true success is found.

Think in Percentages…

When we think of success or failure in anything in life we think it’s black and white. So we either fail or succeed in it. But in life, it is not always black and white, you may succeed more in some of the events or fail more in some.

It is somewhere in the middle, when we start on something it is close to failure, and as we keep working, it moves toward success. In the end, it is more toward success than failure.

Hence we should think and work in terms of percentages. For example, if you have a presentation, think about how can you make it 50% successful, then how to make it 60% successful by working hard..and so on…

This outlook helps us to be realistic rather than committing ourselves as a perfectionist and getting scared to even attempt it. So start thinking in terms of percentages and try to improve your percentages of success in your destined areas.

Going away from originality…

Why are we going away from originality, what attracts us to these other cultures?

Is it the openness,

Is it the opportunity,

Is it vulgar, be it in form adulthood or in culture?

Is it the wealthy lifestyle,

Whatever it is, it is destroying our originality for our children.

Fight…

Fight can make it happen,

Fight can lead you to it,

Fight can win it for you,

Fight can help you stand back,

Fight can give back your confidence,

Fight can win hearts,

Fight can make a happy ending,

So fight till the end, and never give up!

Be Happy to Be Lucky…

Consider this, if you are happy these statements will be true:

• You will be healthy: Given that you are happy, your mind & body will be in sync and you will be in a healthy state.

• You will work smart and hard: Being in the state of happiness you will be sharp and can work harder if and when required.

• You will be a good decision maker: Whatever decisions you take most of them will turn out good since you are taking them in happy mode, not pressure or fear mode.

• People around you will love to be with you: People around you, be your family, your team, and your friends will all be happy around you since you will spread that feeling. They will love to be in your company.

• You will connect more with happy people: In and around you will connect more with happy and successful people.

• You will be more communicative and open: If we are happy, in general, we are in more accepting mode and open mode to ideas, to feedback, to improve, and to learn.

With all the above points in your favor, how you cannot be lucky?

So be happy and luck will follow you!

Take your time…go long…

When we think of any problem, we get anxious about how to solve a problem, how to tackle it stress-free.

But there is a secret to solving a problem stress-free or without being anxious.

Let’s take an example of a real-life scenario in an office setup for Ramesh, who is a Team Manager:

Ramesh, wanted his team to follow a set of specific goals.

He has tried earlier to make them follow many times but the team hasn’t listened or acted.

He got discouraged and stopped taking any action getting frustrated about what kind of manager he is if he cannot drive his team.

But let’s rephrase the problem:

He wanted his team to follow a specific goal in the next 6 months.

He added a longer time element to the problem, now with this time frame, he can first think of immediate subordinates and coach them first. And then slowly percolate it to the rest of the team. In the end with a more extended vision, he was able to drive the team.

Why can’t we do this to all our problems, add a time element and if possible a realistic longer time element to it? We look at every problem and try to solve it immediately, but things take time. 

With time on your side you can solve any problems in life.

Go analog…

If our mind is intertwined with digital, it cannot perform creatively. So make sure your mind goes analog, practice non-digital. 

And be patient in your analog environment, your creativity will come.
