What are you thriving for?

I recently posted about happiness on Thrivearc.  It is not about happiness. I understand happiness is vague and relative term. What triggered me to write about it is how intentionally we approach to happiness? *T hing that most matter to us.  Ask anyone and everyone, what do they desire? More often the answer is happiness. Well I like other specificities too. Like someone I had a chat with last week, said she is looking to get pro tennis player. She just started learning it in pandemic and can't seem to get it enough. One of my friend wants to build new toys for kids, he thinks most toys are same one what he played with. He is looking to bring new ones in the market.  I find my happiness with connecting to new people. Working with them to see amazing transformation they go through. I find my happiness in reading with my kid, old stories with new excitement or new stories with old thrill. I feel happy when I write. I find happiness in tinkering many of my ideas, some I succeed with

Being yourself

No other idea has ever come close to my heart than selling people to be themselves.  No matter what age, position, emotional state of a person one thing I have observed repeatedly is, we all try to fit in.  There is nothing wrong in 'fitting in', as long as it does not hurt being you. (Tweet) Be it a personal life or professional life, people constantly try to fit in as per some ideal persona, journey set by their ecosystem. While doing so, we keep compromising our true self. I don't believe you one bit if you deny this. Ask yourself, When was the last time you have chosen to speak against popular opinion? When was the last time you expressed what you really think? When was the last time you felt true connection to someone or something? When was the last time you felt uncomfortable? Comfort is enemy of your growth. Comfort is enemy of your true potential.  Fitting in is a myth. Fitting in is a greatest obstacle to belong.  What are you holding back till now? Please share he

Coolest Things I learned - February 2021

1. Did you know that there was 6000 years of gap between invention of a wheel and putting those wheels on suitcases? Even moon landing was 3 decades before. Nicholas Taleb in his book 'Antifragile' refers this as a human imagination(or lack of) #GoodReads 2. New word I liked from my kids book she read to me called Diva & Flea. Flâneur - Someone(Somecat from a book) who wanders to see what there is to see. Great flâneur has seen everything, but still looks for more, because there is always more to discover. *The word is mentioned in Antifragile as well :) Coincidence like this makes me realize, when you are looking for something, universe conspires in bringing it closer to you.  3. Communication Principle: KISS which stands for Keep It Simple, Stupid I like how this principle has a wider application in other things of life. 4. Changing the world does not have to be about technology. An inspiring journey of founder of Planet Abled -  Neha Arora You must check this. 5. Zoom fa
