Road to Dream goes through a valley of distractions

Comes to my mind that our  dreams are like Garden of flowers, full of colour, beautiful, a place or situation where we feel happy and accomplished. However before we see that Garden we got to combat patches of weeds which resembles flower from far and can grow much faster and without much effort. Hence many times we get confused the weeds with flowers particularly when it takes sooooo long to grow a garden of nice flowers. 

Similarly In life we constantly confuse our ultimate goal (Garden of flowers) with so many distractions (patches of weed) along the way. Distractions always appear as quicker and faster, providing sort of similar or better result. And then we get there we see these are not the roses in the garden, the fragrance is not the same, I don’t enjoy this, why did I get here. 

Applied knowledge is Power

Sharing which I learnt through my Mentor: 

“Knowledge acquired and not used on daily basis is he mother of procrastination. Very similar to earring good food but not working out enough to make us fat and lazy. Both these create a habit of non-production and regret.”

Being intentional

You throw a purpose in your life and the decision making becomes so clear and easy. You become so intentional about your activities, you will see yourself go from spending mode to Investment mode in how you invest your time and/or money, how you nurture the relationships progressing you towards your purpose. Your day today doesn’t bother you because you know something big is happening first inside of you before it’s visible to your outside world. 

Imagination works fully when there no retreat

Adversity and temporary defeats are generally blessings in disguise, for the reason that they force one to use both #Imagination ; and #fDecision. This is why a man usually makes a better fight when his back is to the wall and he knows there is no back door. He then reaches the decision to fight and win instead of running away.

Leadership is about transperancy

A Leader who makes things easier for their follower not only is a weak leader but also creates a weak leader. 

A Leader must be transparent with their follower telling them what’s required to become successful, hiding the work and presenting it easy to people is nothing but selling an idea which is not long lasting.

Three key elements of Authentic Leadership

Being part of the Leadership Meetup, I felt like writing few lines on Authentic leadership. 

A leader doesn’t need authority to lead, a true leader leads by leading themselves first E.g. leading by example. 

A Leader creates movement by their “Vision”, 

A Leader inspires action by their “character” which comes from their daily behaviour and their dedication to “the cause”. 

A Leader commands respect by their “high moral standard” which comes from their honesty and fairness. 

Forced by fear or motivated by Dream

"FEAR" is a very strong emotion; and so is "DESIRE". Fear can keep us away from "Action" and we know that "No Action = No Progress". 

A strong "Desire" in the form of a definite goal can push us towards "Action" which means "definite progress".

If Fear bothers you too much then go to "COURAGE" who comes as a mediator. Fear keeps us average, Desire keeps us noticeable. Ask and you shall receive 💎🤛🏼👊
