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 s...

I started this blog in 2007, right after joining corporate from B-School campus. I was super excited in life for everything that was happening around me. Yes, dreamy age when you think world revolves around you 😏 I started this blog as a way to share my stories, my experiences . 13 Years after it still holds true.

FOMO - Fear of Missing out How many decisions you have taken out of FOMO? How many your day to day actions are driven by FOMO? Have you purchased a car because your friend or colleague has one?  Do you go to malls, eat out every other night, drink because you see others are doing it? Was your last purchase driven by post from old friend on Instagram or Facebook? Do you go to movies because all your friends are going? Do you go to a particular movie because your friends like it? How ironic, fear driving our actions and decisions instead of a courage? And if you observe most of our FOMO things are harming us personally in short term as well as long term. Eating junk food, drinking, smoking, shopping, spending money on things we don't want or we want only to show off. All works AGAINST you, poor health, less money, feeling sad, inferior or jealous.  Take decisions which are in YOUR favor . Spend money on things you want, invest, if you don't know how to, learn. Exercise, read, w...
