The job that I would do for free is to render the service of motivation.
Motivation is the single MOST POSITIVE EMOTION that gives us hope and optimism to lead our lives in a meaningful manner. This motivates us to think that the future would be bright for all of us.
To MOTIVATE the most important criteria is to ACT.
Hence whenever you get a chance, motivate people around you and serve those who serve others.
Though Olympics itself is a lesson in itself I follow soccer and hockey Olympic matches the most, for the love of team sport.

The last thing on great leadership I have learnt is that leadership is like parenting. Let’s explore more.
Simon Sinek has done extensive work on this topic via his experience with US Navy Seals, great leaders and has come up with this wonderful metaphor.

If I were to write my own autobiography it would surely inspire you to welcome your infinite minded self.
The very fact that life is an infinite game and there are no merits in finite mindedness has been beautifully explained by Simon Sinek in his book The Infinite Game.
An infinite minded individual does not focus on trifles, strives to be a better version everyday without comparing with others.
The moment we develop this mindset we realize the benefits of thinking about long term benefits than short term dopamine driven gains.
The example of the gardener is an apt example of this mindset, which I encourage you all to develop for a fulfilled life.

Fearlessly take the Risk of Optimism and see the benefits it brings in your life. This blog post elaborates on the same.
I have been highly influenced by the work of Simon Sinek around the topic of optimism.
According to him the primary ingredient of progress is the unwavering belief that the future is bright.
This and having faith in God that something good will happen is necessary for a fulfilling life free of anxiety and stress.
Research proves that when we are positive about life, the brain functions in a positive manner at the expectation of a reward. This is similar to a dosage of morphine.
Hence adopting feeling is scary at the start but something we should never shed moving forward in life.

Life becomes a better place to live in when we complain less and contribute more.
We complain in a state when we are not prepared to take ownership for any shortcomings that we see. This leads to a proliferation of such complaints and never any fruitful solution.
As Simon Sinek aptly mentions in this quote instead of cribbing we need to contribute and bring about the change we want to see in the world.
This not only leads to more fulfillment but makes our lives much better.

One thing which I have started doing differently is constantly making an effort to lead life with an infinite mindset.
Adoption of such a mindset makes us forget about competition and helps us focus on making ourselves a better version by the day.
Simon Sinek’s book The Infinite Game, enlightens us on the need to approach the game of life with such a mindset. He argues that winning does not matter in life or business, our goal should be to keep playing the game of life with an abundance mentality.
