Beyond Horizons...

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 su...

Usually people talk, write, encourage about starting .    Maybe more people struggle with starting something than putting an end to something. Or maybe, focus is always on adding more and new than to subtract and eliminate .  Leaving a book that I don't enjoy, especially the popular and most recommended one has always been a problem for me. I have realized the price for completing the book which I don't enjoy is heavy. Since last six months I have been working on breaking this habit without guilt. Not having guilt is the tricky part.  Thinking in Bets: How to make decisions when you don't have all the facts is one the most recommended book I have came across.

Its either my sports knowledge is so weak or understanding US sports is difficult ;) I had to call ...

Challenges are ways to change.  They say people take 21 days to create new habit. Once you do something repeatedly over 21 days it tends to stick if you wanted to.  People generally take goals of weight loss of 10 KG, Writing a book, making a billion, starting a business etc. All seems overwhelming. They are if you wanted them to be. Good thing is they seem overwhelming to EVERYONE, even to people who do it often, who've have it before. If they have done it, you will be doing it too.  How they do it? Dream Big. Act Small.  Keep your dreams big, goals as they are. Though try actions which are small, doable and repeatable. Losing 10 Kg over 6 month time seems large, but exercise 30 minutes a day is a small change. Small change repeated everyday is going to lead to big change of losing weight.  I have found 30 Day challenge is another way of introducing small changes in your life. I don't use added sugar. This has been a practice over 7 years. It started with husba...
