FOOD FOR THOUGHT

THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO LIVE AND LEAD LIFE. ONE IS TO LIVE & ENJOY LIFE FOR ONESELF AND AT THE MOST FOR ONE'S FAMILY, ANOTHER WAY IS TO LIVE FOR OTHERS. ONE IS SELF-CENTRIC AND ANOTHER IS SELF-LESS WAY OF LIVING. THE WORLD FOR SELF-CENTRIC LIFE IS LIMITED AND SO IS THE SELF-GROWTH, SELF-AWARENESS, SELF-EXPOSURE, SELF-EXPERIENCE... THE WORLD FOR SELF-LESS WAY IS LARGER THAN LIFE, IT'S A LARGE-ENERGY, LARGE-DOMAIN, LARGE-ENTHUSIASM, LARGER-CONTRIBUTION.... LARGER STATE OF LIVING. IN THIS STATE ONE EXPERIENCES ABUNDANCE, COMPASSION, HUMILITY, LOVE, GRACE, HAPPINESS, BLISS.... AT IT'S PEEK. THERE IS A LARGER PURPOSE IN SERVING OTHERS THAN LIVING SELF-CENTRIC LIFESTYLE. IT'S TRUE THAT EVERYTHING STARTS WITH SELF TO FAMILY BUT THAN ONE MUST GROW TO COMMUNITY TO SOCIETY TO COUNTRY TO WORLD TO UNIVERSE.

LIVING LIFE FOR OTHERS GIVES HIGHEST FORM OF INNER SATISFACTION, MENTAL PEACE AND SPIRITUAL UPLIFTMENT. THE MORE WE DEDICATE OUR LIFE TO HELP PEOPLE THE MORE WE SIMPLIFY OURSELVES, GIVING LARGER MEANING & PURPOSE TO LIFE. ONE THINKS BEYOND SELF-NEEDS AND TRANSITS FROM SELF-CENTERED TO SELF-LESS WAY OF LIFE, THERE ARE NO SECOND THOUGHTS, THERE ARE NO IFS AND BUTS, THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS. THIS WAY OF LIFE BRINGS TRUE JOY, HAPPINESS, BLISS, BLESSINGS, LOVE, GRACE, BREAKING ALL BARRIERS AND ALL VICIOUS CIRCLES OF LIFE, GIVING DIRECTION TO ONE'S SOUL JOURNEY AND INSPIRING OTHERS TO FOLLOW THE PATH. ONE RECEIVES EVERYTHING IN LIFE, AND THE FACT REMAINS THAT IN THIS STATE,  GIVING IS EVERYTHING.

WELL KNOWN ENEMIES OF HUMAN NATURE ARE EGO & ASSUMPTION. BOTH OF THEM BLIND EYES OF HUMAN AND DOES NOT ALLOW TO THINK BEYOND, TO THINK OF THE OTHER PERSPECTIVES OR ALTERNATIVES, KILLS THINKING POWER & CREATIVE MIND, NARROWING DOWN ONE'S ABILITIES, CREATING LIMITED BELIEFS. WITH LIMITED AWARENESS BREAKTHROUGH IS IMPOSSIBLE AND MAKING HUMAN TO THINK AROUND ONESELF. IN RELATIONSHIPS OR HUMAN INTERACTIONS SELF-CENTERED MIND KILLS FLEXIBILITY TO THINK ABOUT OTHERS, EGO & ASSUMPTION CREATES A WALL OF LIMITED COMMUNICATIONS OR EVEN NO COMMUNICATIONS. ONE CAN GET FREE FROM SUCH SITUATION BY ACCEPTING ONE'S AS WELL OTHER'S STRENGTHS & WEAKNESSES, BY GETTING RID OF EGO & ASSUMPTION AND BY ALLOWING BREAKTHROUGH - TRANSFORMATION FROM WITHIN. ACCEPTANCE OF THESE FACTS BRINGS DOWN THE WALLS AND ALLOWS EACH ONE TO GROW BY CREATING WIN-WIN SITUATION.

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.
