    Enjoy the Season of Human Bonds

    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.

    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 you had a freeway billboard, what would it say?

    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.
