    How do you want to retire?
    View all responses

    When I retire I would love to be remembered as a person who stood for Fulfillment versus Excitement at all times. I encourage all of you to strive to leave a legacy behind by chasing fulfillment.

    Whereas excitement is DOPAMINE, Fulfillment is OXYTOCIN.

    Nothing highlights the merit of Fulfillment better than this quote from Simon Sinek.

    “Excitement comes from the achievement. Fulfillment comes from the journey that got you there. “

    For fulfillment to be a primary driver we should adopt an infinite mindset at all times without caring about competition.

  • Rechristened as OPTIMISM

    If you had to change your name, what would your new name be?
    View all responses

    I would love to be rechristened to optimism, the single most important human emotion.

    Optimism brings hope in our lives when we imagine the future to be bright. In the absence of optimism, pessimism takes over and builds stress and anxiety.

    Hence I am a big believer of OPTIMISM. Simon Sinek’s following quotes on Optimism are too good to ignore.

    “OPTIMISM is NOT the DENIAL of the CURRENT STATE. OPTIMISM is the BELIEF that the FUTURE is BRIGHT.”

    “Optimism is the ability to focus on where we are going, not where we are coming from”.

    “Optimists FOCUS on the PLACE they are GOING. Pessimists FOCUS on the OBSTACLES along with ROUTE. To become an OPTIMIST, simply look AHEAD.”

    So what are you waiting for, take the RISK of OPTIMISM.

    Why is it WORTH taking the RISK of OPTIMISM?

    While people from different communities, cults and sects adopt and follow different religions, through this blog post I would encourage you to adopt optimism as your religion.

    Optimism is the single most positive human emotion. It has been proven by research that being optimism can improve our immune systems and lead to a healthy lifestyle.

    So what’s stopping you from taking the risk of optimism.

  • Biggest driver of WORK LIFE BALANCE.

    Biggest driver of WORK LIFE BALANCE.

    How do you balance work and home life?
    View all responses

    Maintain a healthy work life balance is key to the well being of your children. But have you realized the biggest driver of work life balance?

    If you are led by a visionary leader and you are lucky to be part of a trusting team you feel safe at work. This in turn leads to a healthy work life balance.

    As Simon Sinek says:

    “Work-life balance has nothing to do with the hours we work or the stress we suffer. It has to do with where we feel safe. If we feel safe at home, but we don’t feel safe at work, then we will suffer what we perceive to be a work-life imbalance.”

    Thus it is key to be surrounded by members of a trusting team to lead a fulfilled life.

    What’s one small improvement you can make in your life?
    View all responses

    One small improvement each one of us can make in our lives is to embrace an infinite mindset. Adoption of an infinite mindset is the key to fulfillment in the infinite game of life.

    In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, we frequently end up comparing and competing with individuals with markedly different mindsets and goals.

    The key to embracing an infinite mindset is to unleash our own unique potential and being a better version everyday without paying heed to competition.

    Since the game of life is infinite and as players we need to keep playing, this abundance mentality is the single most important factor that can lead to a healthy and fulfilling life.

    Why is it worth adopting an INFINITE MINDSET?

  • Involve with the RIGHT COMMUNITY

    What do you do to be involved in the community?
    View all responses

    When you know that you are part of the right community, doing necessary things just sink in. To involve with the right community it is very important to know the correct definition of COMMUNITY.

    As Simon Sinek says:

    “A COMMUNITY is a GROUP of PEOPLE who AGREE to GROW together.”

    Just how like minded people form part of a growing community, the same holds good with a trustworthy team.

    Knowing this definition makes it easier for us to understand the importance of having people in a TEAM who BELIEVE in what a LEADER believes and more importantly the power of SOCIAL BONDS.

    The following insight explains the growth of open source communities.

    How would you improve your community?
    View all responses

    Community is a group of people who decide to grow together. Trust is the backbone of high performing groups e.g. a community. Hence I would preach trust to build a healthy and high performing community.

    Research proves that any high performing team is characterized by high trustworthiness. This is where all members feel safe to express their vulnerability to each other.

    “Strong relationships are the foundation of high-performing teams. And all high-performing teams start with trust.”

    “A team is not a group of people who work together. A team is a group of people who trust each other.”
