Today, if you don’t appear to be successful no one cares even if you are successful.
The appearance of success is more important than success.
But does that really help get what you want from success?
Nope, it gives a false facade that gets destroyed as soon as the appearance is shamed.
Derogatory remarks never help(s) either yourself or others.
It spoils the environment and if there is any semblance of empathy between the parties, these remarks kill it.
Instead, look at it emphatically, look at it from a down-to-earth view, look at it from the eye of a child.
Try it for a couple of conflicts and see that conflicts vanish away, in-fact the other person is happier to resolve any differences.
Sometimes it’s best to throw the old leadership adage – “Don’t bring me problems, bring me solutions.”
In fact asking your team for input on what isn’t working, what’s missing, and where the bottleneck for the status quo is critical.
Problems are a prerequisite for innovation.
Computers (aka AI/ML) don’t actually think, we just think they think.
It’s a big mathematical process and historical data based on which computers can give us predictions.
Interestingly, a lot of these computer-generated outputs are facts but who cares about facts, human beings are creatures of emotions, creatures of greed, and creatures of highs & lows.
So don’t worry if you think someday AI will replace us, maybe in some limited areas, but as long as the world is ruled by chaos, emotions, and greed, we are safe!
The scariest thing in life is if you are not able to fulfill your destiny.
Two things come in the way:
First, knowing what’s your destiny.
Second, are you still not so far away to change your path to fulfill your destiny?
For some, you can’t find your destiny and hence never achieve it.
For some, you find your destiny and achieve it, even if it’s in the latter part of your life.
Most of us, find our destiny but can’t change the path or don’t want to risk changing the path.
If life is a journey on a continuous path.
Putting a break to it, to gain perspective is a must-have. Not only it helps to value life but it also helps in valuing the journey.
So take breaks and enjoy!
Learning “to lose” or “to fail” is important because it helps us experiment(s) in life and helps us try different things even if we fail.
But learning to fail is difficult to learn, our ego always interferes and it makes a dent in our self-confidence.
So let’s keep a day in a week where we are ready to lose or fail in whatever we are trying.
Call it “A losing day” or “A failure day”.
Today is my “Failure day” so I won’t mind failing, in-fact I will welcome failing.
We respect anything that bores, that’s complex and that’s out of our minds.
Why not embrace that’s simple, that’s reachable, that’s playful?
Because it’s simple, we think we are missing something.
Life can’t be this simple.
But, I hope in life it is as simple or as difficult as we make of it.
Are you trapped in your own body? Sometimes I feel I am.
Is your body listening to you, is it working for you or against you?
Be in peace with your body, get out, get exercise, get yoga whatever works to bring synergy within and without.
Get it working for you rather than feeling trapped.
If you’re a high achiever who feels bogged down by anxiety—worrying about worst-case scenarios, stewing over mistakes, comparing yourself with others—you can take action to overcome this common emotion.
