GLOG 5


It is more blessed to give than to receive. It's more productive to give than to receive. The reward for giving is the opportunity to give more. Your capacity can never be expanded or stretched staying only in the receiver mode. Receivers tend to be followers and docile, while givers are in the proactive zone. When I think of giving, my landscape is beyond money. I think of ideas, solving problems, sharing solutions. The world is pushed forward by givers who are the ones willing to give their lives to create solutions. It is a sin not to be innovative, not to be a contributor or a value distributor. When I meet a person of influence, my outlook is to seek to add value to that person, to give upwards, not to receive 1st. Influencers know pests and cannot be intimate with such. Why do we acquire more knowledge, why do we research, why do we meditate, why do we welcome interesting challenges? Because they are bread for us. It is a thing of Joy to be the solution or to be the difference-maker where you are, to be the go-to for life's daily challenges. Developing that muscle is worth it. Just like exercising, continuous exposure to problems is required to refine that ability. There is no vacation for givers. The world needs us.

Routines help. There are days of strength and days of weakness. Days when you have fire in your bones, days when you feel deflated. Routines help with synchronization. There are days I wake up feeling as if my day was aimless. But when I remember my routine, I have something I can use to coordinate myself, otherwise I will feel I wasted my day. These routines are definitely defined and preplanned. You cannot be creating one on the day you need it. It just reminds you that there is work to be done, deliverables to be delivered. It keeps me in check. It takes 69 days to create a habit. Consistency is mighty. The results are beautiful if you do the discipline. I am always reminded by Robin Sharma in his book, the 5 am club, that "successful people (like me) have formed the habit of doing things that failures don't like to do. Top producers make it a habit to do the high-value activities that average ones don't feel like doing, even when they don't feel like doing them.”

GLOG 4

Talking about the "what I am passionate about" conversation. That is a question I have no consistent answer to you. Does it mean I halt my life till that question is answered? No. It's always in my consciousness to know what I was born to do. Every fibre of my being desires to latch on to what it is. It is the longing of my heart all day and night. I will find it . Between then and now, I will be faithful and diligent in what I find to do with my hands. I have learnt that the way to develop interest in what you have no interest or flair for is to learn more about it. This takes discipline. Distancing your thoughts and intelligence away from that chore that you abhor will institutionalize the apathy. This trouble with this distancing mindset is that it wastes precious time, and you have no story to tell also of how you got victory in this situation because one thing is for sure, many are in the same arrangement in life. What story can you give to inspire someone going thro...
