    How to deal with the UNKNOWN?

    Deal with Uncertainty can be really nerve racking and we need to be fearless enough to face the challenges associated with it.

    Planning for unknown times is an advise we receive from most but is something that seldom works when we are faced with associated challenges.

    I love this quote from Simon Sinek on plan and planning. This is a constant reminder to all of us to not obsess over planning.

    We need to be courageous enough to deal with unexpected situations in life by focusing on the present moment.

    The best way to plan your goals is to set short term goals and sub-goals which are measurable.

    Live in the Present Moment

    Knowing that the The PRESENT is your TRANSFORMATION tool is the best life changing advice that I can provide from my experience.

    Very often we regret about the past and worry too much about our future due to the inherent nature of our brain to vacillate from the present moment.

    This is the biggest cause of anxiety and worry in our lives.

    In his book The Power of Now, the author Eckhart Tolle has inspired all of us to live in the present moment and unleash our best selves.

    This insight should inspire you to live in the present moment.

  • Patience Pays in the Long Run

    Patience Pays in the Long Run

    Daily writing prompt
    Do you think everything happens for a reason?
    View all responses

    I do belieive everything happens for a reason. We just need to have faith in God and believe that patience pays in the long run.

    Everything that we long for may not come to us instantaneously but if our intentions are sincere then with the right effort and focus, results will come at just the right time.

    The best example of this is in selling. Many a times salespeople give up on prospects after the 5th attempt. Whereas in many of the cases it has been observed that the customer would have converted on the 7th attempt.

    Hence patience is a virtue that needs to be practiced and will bear fruits in the long run.
