I posted this pic on Instagram, and got moderate traction.

Posted the same pic on LinkedIn, and got huge traction, because of course, of the like minded people.

One of them asked my favourite book recommendations. Well, 90% of them are recommended, however, here’s listing my top 10:

Before the New Year begins…

We all are talking about what 2019 taught us, yours truly being one of them.

Though that’s all great, I respectfully urge you to think over, what’s something you want to master in 2020.

Not a resolution.

Not a goal either.

Something that’s a part of your identity as much as perhaps your cellphone is.

And when you’ve decided, don’t wait for 2020 to teach it to you by December end.

Instead, be someone who teaches their awesomeness to the world as and when they learn it, something that’s independent of clock of time.

Why is it important?

Because the time needs to know, you’re the Master, not the other way round.

Time

You may want things to happen quickly.

You may want results to pop out like a toasted bread.

You may also want to show them to others.

However, what takes time, takes time.

The awesome stamina you have after three months of strength training.

A wonderful friendship that has seen the scars of time.

A goal that made you rise earlier every single day.

Great things take time and patience.

And make you more powerful in the process.

Here’s wishing y’all a Merry Christmas!

The least used asset

Bob Proctor said in a YouTube video, most people, if they were asked what they were thinking, would go blank.

Thinking is a muscle, and the more you use it, the lesser you need to depend on the outside world to judge your life situations.

In this world of AI and bots, the only way to have a living is to use your least used asset: the power of thinking.

You aren’t getting this life again, just in case you forgot.

A Real Conversation

What could a real conversation do to you?

Wish someone could tell you that you are capable of huge things?

Need real hot truth? Something that doesn’t hurt as well?

You will be served exactly that, however before that I want to ask you something.

What’s the point of letting others control your life?

Why do you need validation of that one person?

Is your life independent of others opinions?

Today’s video contains all about that. Enjoy!

Let’s talk about remote control

The current times have the luxury of stopping and recording a TV show.

If we go back to a decade, family members used to fight over remote control of television. Even if someone had to walk up to the kitchen or to open the door, they’d carry their remote control along, so that the other members didn’t get a chance to change the channel.

People knew, back then, that the person with the remote control, owns the game.

Fast forward to today, how many of us hold the remote control of your happiness?

Not only that, they also blame someone else for taking away their happiness by not playing the channel they wanted to see.

It’s called budding resentment. If you want to dig out five more minutes to understand that, today’s podcast episode is a great way to explain that. Check it out here.

What’s inside a hidden face?

Some people (still!) never upload a picture of themselves online.

Not that they hate themselves, however they are scared that their picture may be misused.

The point is, not to make you upload your picture.

The point is, to tell you, that if in the worst case your picture is used to be made fun of, it won’t ever reach you.

If it reaches your loved ones, don’t they trust you?

More than anything else, isn’t it a real fear of being seen?

Be seen. We need your example to be enlightened from.

Uncategorized

Strange, no?

You post content to be liked.

Or may be you post it because you want to share some inspiration.

The reason could be any. The intention, couldn’t be any.

The intention, your vibes, your positivity, and your power, reaches way before you say or post anything.

And it’s a powerful journey.

When people know who you are, what you do starts making sense automatically.

Uncategorized

To gain someone’s attention

Starting with “to get something” is a dangerous place to be, because it makes you vulnerable.

Start with giving relentlessly.

Without the intention of receiving.

Without worrying about whether they’ll give you what you want.

Just with the intention of making their world better.

Why to do that, you may ask.

Because in order to let them decide freely and give it to you, you really need to let them know that you care. Like your parents did, and you’re ready to do anything for them, right?

Uncategorized

There’s no way

When you say there’s no way, that time also you’re creating a way.

The way is, to go for a walk and then take no decision.

Maybe you don’t need to stop, you just need to take a break.

Maybe you don’t need to take a break, you just need to know where you are and where you wanna go.

It’s okay to be okay when it’s not okay. Just be okay with it. You will reach a place of being okay.

What will you trade for happiness?

Today as I entered my room, I wondered if I was really happy.

In the process of earning money, in the process of figuring out life, in the process of understanding how things work, make sure happiness is your real currency.

If you are’t happy, you aren’t happy.

It’s that simple.

If you want to know how I chased my happiness from the place of insecurity, you may want to check out this video. It’s the most vulnerable I’ve ever been.

Being effective

If knowledge were power, everyone would be powerful, especially in this era of internet.

Then why isn’t everyone powerful?

Because of two reasons:

1. People don’t implement.

2. Before sharing knowledge, people don’t sit back and radiate power to others. If they did that, everyone else would feel it and life would be more powerful, less powerless.

Isn’t this is what you are looking for?

You don’t deserve to be rude

People may be not behaving according to you.

However you don’t know how good they may be.

If one lesson life has taught me over and over again is this: NO ONE has earned your rudeness.

If you don’t be careful, you’ll walk around the world as someone who takes away their happiness.

And you don’t want to be one.

Uncategorized

Scared of change?

Life is changing so much.

A lot of us started with Orkut, followed by Facebook. Now is the dominant Instagram, with TikTok taking over.

The power you have on your cellphone is more powerful than that a President had three decades back.

There is, however, one thing that remains constant from the day you were born till the date you leave this body.

I’ll talk about it in today’s podcast. Hope you enjoy it.

It’s “show” time!

If you don’t know what to do, still show up.

If you don’t know how your presentation would be responded, still show up.

If you don’t know who all will like your work, still show up.

If you’re not sure if things will work out, still show up to make them work out.

Most of the things are done when we show up. Question is, will you show up?

For the first time

Yesterday was the first time in almost 3 years that I didn’t publish a blog.

Not because I got lazy, rather because Internet services were taken away in my hometown, where I was yesterday.

So what were the great things that came out of that massive Internet cut?

First and foremost, I didn’t have withdrawal symptoms on not being able to access the internet. That was something to be proud of.

Secondly, thinking about scheduling my blog posts one day in advance. It rules out the perils of anonymity.

What do you think?

The One Thing ☝🏻

You want to change your lifestyle.

Maybe you’re not getting the results you wanted.

Things aren’t working out as you wished.

Do nothing, other than change one thing.

What is that one thing?

Well that you know exactly in your heart.

You just need to decide to change “that one thing” and witness changes happen in all areas of your life.

Uncategorized

Shout to be out

People tend to shout when they don’t get what they asked for.

People tend to shout when they feel insecure about what they have and don’t have.

Insecurity

Anger

People not behaving according to you

People saying mean things behind (and in front of you)

People blaming you for their mistakes

Your competitor getting ahead of you even they started after you

All these things are going to happen.

The only job people are going to get done when they shout is, scare more people and make them aware of being around you.

If that’s not the destination you want to reach, probably being patient and kind could do the deal.

Like they always do.

Uncategorized

Results

You don’t know how and what kind of results you are going to get.

What you do know is that you are going to get results if you do the work.

If you simply stay put and do nothing you will get no results even if you have got a great luck.

The solution, then, is to get up and do the work. Get up and start taking action.

Results follow action. Nothing follows doing nothing.

Like always, you get to decide.

Nothingness

As she walked out, I saw her walking in utter confidence; myself reduced down to nothingness as invisible as an atom.

The worst part was, she didn’t know she was the reason of it. I didn’t know myself, when did I give her that baton.

Yet here she was, marching her own path with pride. There I was, unable to understand how it happened.

Then, in an instant my intuition hit me and I got the answer.

Nothing happens by pure luck. By whatever, two, three or eight decades we have spent in this lifetime, what is carried along with us is the deeds we did and karmas we created in the past lives.

Nothing happens purely by chance.

Now if me reducing down to atom was a past karma, the good news is: I can create a whole new karma in the present. The greater news is: it does not have to be at the cost of creating a negative karma with that fellow human being again.

It does not have to be recreated like that. You can overwrite anything you want, any number of times, with your new karmas.

Today.

And rise up from the ashes to the greatest peaks without bringing anyone down.
