    Turn this Saying into your SONG

    I have always been a huge fan of Simon Sinek and his work. In this blog post I will enlighten you on a great insight from one of his book and urge you to sing this inspirational saying as your life’s favorite song.

    In his book Together is Better Simon mentions about the benefits of togetherness and why it makes sense to humans right from the caveman times.

    This African proverb which finds a mention in his book is truly inspiring to the core:

    Sing this SAYING as a SONG

    This saying has had a profound effect in my life. The essence is to slow down and enjoy the company of your near and dear ones. Since if we travel too fast in life there would come a time where there would be no one by our side.

    Have you realized the Power of Social Bonds yet?

    Right from the caveman times, the power of social bonds is what makes us innately human. This is what makes us so different from the rest of the animals.

    In his book Together is Better, the author Simon Sinek has wonderfully illustrated this aspect around togetherness.

    The below quote mentioned in this book from an African proverb is one of the best quotes I have ever come across..

    “To go FAST go ALONE.To go FAR go TOGETHER.”

    Read this post to feel inspired and start enjoying this super power that makes you innately human.

    What is your favorite season of year? Why?
    View all responses

    Of all season my favorite is the autumn season. Arrival of the month of October, helps me enjoy the season of human bonds.

    The month of October, heralds the arrival of Autumn season as well as a string of festivals wherein you can enjoy quality time with family and friends.

    This is also a time of the year when you take stock of the hard work done over the best part of the year.

    Without family, friends and social bonds our life in incomplete. And that is why this part of the year starting from October, gives me a chance to socialize with friends and family.

    The power of social bonds and the ability to respect it, indeed makes us human.

  • Encourage Vulnerability for THIS Reason

    Can you share a positive example of where you’ve felt loved?
    View all responses

    The positive example of when i have felt loved that I am going to share is of being part of TRUSTING TEAMS. Leader of a trusting team encourages vulnerability.

    Though in hindsight it might seem odd, but its true when members of a team feel trusted they are open to share their vulnerability.

    Trusting teams are ones where everyone loves to play a role and more often than not these end up being high performance teams.

    I have had the good fortune of being part of TRUSTING TEAMS wherein members have felt comfortable of being vulnerable and sharing their individual weaknesses without fear.

    Needless to say these are environments wherein you feel a sense of belonging and hence loved.

    Simon Sinek has shared multiple insights related to trusting teams which can be found in these blogposts.

    Once you get a chance go through some of these wonderful YouTube videos on why we should encourage vulnerability.

    If I had a freeway billboard, it would welcome seekers and preachers of MOTIVATION. It would encourage the visitors to collectively PILE ON MOTIVATION.

    Motivation is the single MOST POSITIVE EMOTION that gives us hope and optimism to lead our lives thinking that the future would be bright for all of us.

    Hence this blogpost focuses on Motivation, Inspiration and Optimism. My belief is that collectively we can all help each other to pile on motivation in our lives.

    As Zig Ziglar’s famous quote says:

    Read this wonderful book from Simon Sinek and feel motivated, spread the word around to pile on motivation.

  • Which is the BEST MONTH of the YEAR?

    Which is the BEST MONTH of the YEAR?

    I consider October as the Best Month of the Year.

    The month of October, heralds the arrival of Autumn season as well as a string of festivals wherein you can enjoy quality time with family and friends.

    This is also a time of the year when you take stock of the hard work done over the best part of the year.

    Without family, friends and social bonds our life in incomplete. And that is why this part of the year starting from October, gives me a chance to socialize with friends and family.

    The power of social bonds and the ability to respect it, indeed makes us human.

  • Why does a SENSE of PURPOSE matter?

    The following self help and motivational insight has been adopted from Simon Sinek’s book Together is Better

    “Most of us live our lives by accident-we live as it happens. Fulfillment comes when we live our lives on purpose.”

    Thus a SENSE of PURPOSE is quintessential for FULFILLMENT to happen.

  • THIS is WHY we HUMANS are SOCIAL ANIMALS..

    The following self help and motivational insight has been adopted from Simon Sinek’s book Together is Better

    “Life is beautiful not because of the things we see or the things we do. Life is beautiful because of the people we meet.”

    Our good memories with people whom we meet in life provides us the energy to carry on in life with greater vigor.
