FOOD FOR THOUGHT

OFTEN ONE GETS ATTACHED TO ONE'S SUCCESS, SO MUCH SO THAT THE SAME SUCCESS LIMITS ONE'S POTENTIAL AND BELIEFS. THERE COULD BE NUMBER OF REASONS BEHIND SUCH BEHAVIOR, WHICH COULD BE, LACK OF CONFIDENCE, OVER CONFIDENCE, FEAR OF FAILURE, LACK OF CREATIVITY, LACK OF CLARITY, OBSESSION OF ACHIEVEMENTS, LACK OF ENTHUSIASM. AFTER REACHING ONE MILESTONE, THERE IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE A FALL BEFORE REACHING OUT TO NEXT MILESTONE, ONE HAS TO RECOGNIZE AND UTILIZE THIS FALL CORRECTLY AND ENCASE OUT OF IT FOR THE NEXT MILESTONE. IF ONE IS AFRAID TO RECOGNIZE FALL AND PRESUMES TO REMAIN IN THAT OLD ZONE, WILL MISS OUT THE GREAT AT THE COST OF GOOD. ONE HAS TO LET GO CURRENT STATE EVEN IF ITS GOOD, TO REACH OUT TO NEXT LEVEL OF STATE FOR ACHIEVING GREAT. CHANGE IS INEVITABLE, ONE HAS TO KEEP  ON LEARNING - RELEARNING DURING THE FALL AND PREPARE FOR THE NEXT PEEK. THIS IS A CONTINUOUS PROCESS, THERE IS NO HALT, THERE IS NO STAGNATION, LIFE MEANS GROWTH, LIFE MEANS PROGRESS AND PROGRESS MEANS H...

HUMANS ARE BORN WITH A GIFT OF INFINITE POTENTIAL BUT UNFORTUNATELY OVER A PERIOD OF TIME HUMAN LIMITS THEIR POTENTIAL BY THEIR BELIEFS. LIMITED BELIEFS STAGNATES THE ABILITY TO EXPLORE THE TRUE POTENTIAL, HENCE THE ABILITY TO GROW. LIFE MEANS HAPPINESS, HAPPINESS MEANS GROWTH AND GROWTH MEANS PROGRESS. HAPPINESS IS IN CHALLENGING ONESELF FROM ONE MILESTONE TO ANOTHER, DISCOVERING NEXT LEVEL, TO REMAIN CREATIVE, TO THINK BEYOND, TO EXPLORE THE TRUE POTENTIAL, HAPPINESS IS PROGRESS.

COMMITMENT IS GIVING OUT ALL 110% WITHOUT ANY SECOND THOUGHT, 110% PASSIONATE ABOUT THE COMMITMENT, DREAMS, GOALS, TARGETS. THIS HOLDS GOOD FOR ALL AREAS OF LIFE - WORK, RELATIONSHIP, SPIRITUALITY, AND HEALTH. COMMITMENT DEMANDS MOVING BEYOND ONE’S CAPACITY, BEYOND ONE’S IMAGINATION, BEYOND THOUGHTS – MIND - FEELING, BEYOND COMFORT ZONE. ONE CAN EITHER CHASE ONE'S DREAM ZONE OR CAN SIMPLY ENJOY THE COMFORT ZONE IN WHICH ONE IS LIVING. BOTH ZONES CAN'T CO-EXISTS. COMFORT ZONE IS SAFE, SECURE, CERTAIN WHILE DREAM ZONE IS UNSECURE, UNCERTAIN BUT PROMISES HIGH ENERGY, GROWTH, UNLIMITED POTENTIAL, UNLIMITED REWARDS. THE ONLY WAY TO SUSTAIN IN DREAM ZONE OR COMMITMENT ZONE IS BY BURNING BOATS MEANING BURNING COMFORT ZONE AND FOCUSING ON COMMITMENT ZONE.

BY THINKING AND PLAYING SMALL WE LIMIT OUR OWN  C APACITY TO GROW, GROW TO NEXT LEVEL. WE AS A HUMAN BEING, NOTHING SEEMS TO BE IMPOSSIBLE BUT ALL OUR POSSIBILITIES ARE DEFINED OR RATHER CONFINED BY OUR MIND'S LIMITED BELIEF SYSTEM. WE REMAIN CONTENT OR RATHER LAZILY CONTENT ABOUT OUR PERFORMANCE, OUR INPUTS, AND OUR RESULTS. BECAUSE OF OUR SMALL DREAM AND SMALL PLAY, WE HARDLY COULD MAKE A FOOT PRINT WITHIN OUR OWN FAMILY OR EXTENDED FAMILY. BY THIS WE UNDERESTIMATE OUR POTENTIAL AND WE NOT ONLY DEPRIVE OUR SELF BUT ALSO TO THE WORLD FROM THE FRUITS OF OUR TRUE POTENTIALS. AS A MAN OF ACTION WE MUST DREAM BIG ENOUGH AND A CONTINUOUS PURSUIT TOWARDS OUR DREAM BENEFITING LARGER MASS OF PEOPLE, SERVING THE HUMANITY AND THE WORLD.

LEADERSHIP IS NEVER ABOUT IMPOSING DECISIONS, IT'S ALL ABOUT MANAGING & EMPOWERING PEOPLE. ALLOWING PEOPLE TO GROW, GIVING FREEDOM, CREATING ENVIRONMENT FOR CREATIVITY TO FLOURISH .  LEADERS VIEW OR OPINION IS JUST ANOTHER PROSPECTIVE , A VIEW POINT. LEADERSHIP MUST BE FLEXIBLE AND FREE FROM EGO AND SELF-CENTERED BEHAVIOR. LEADERSHIP ALWAYS ACTS AS A SUPPORT SYSTEM AND LEADS A TEAM TOWARDS GROWTH & SUCCESS. TRUE LEADERSHIP SEES THINGS BEYOND OBVIOUS AND ITS ALWAYS FUTURISTIC.

ONE HAS TO CHANGE WITH TIME OR ONE CAN'T SUSTAIN. CHANGE IS INEVITABLE, ONE NEEDS TO ADAPT TO THE CHANGING SITUATION, THESE ARE EXTERNAL FORCES AND ONE MUST SUCCUMB TO THE SAME. IT'S A CYCLE AND FROM TIME TO TIME ONE WILL HAVE TO CHANGE WITH CHANGING ENVIRONMENT. ONE CAN OVER COME THIS SITUATION BY CHANGING ONESELF WITHIN, BEFORE EXTERNAL FACTORS PLAY THEIR PART, ONE NEEDS TO ACTIVATE INTERNAL FORCES AND KEEP ON CHANGING BEFORE TIME. THESE INTERNAL FORCES CAN BE ACTIVATED BY DOING RIGHT THINGS, BY CHOOSING RIGHT PATH, BY CHOOSING PERSONAL GROWTH AND CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT OF ONESELF. IT'S A CHOICE WHETHER ONE WANTS TO CHANGE BY INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL FORCES.
