Believe in Yourself

 "Girte Hain Shahsawar Hi Maidan- E- Jung Mei”; "Wo Tifl Kya Giray Jo Ghutno Ke Bal Chale”. “Only a great rider takes a fall, for those who crawl, can’t”; by Urdu literati, poet & a writer Mirza Azeem Beg.

Many a times, this quote has given strength to saddle up & ride again.

In today’s turbulent times, courage has forsaken many, it’s becoming tough to hold ground & stay the course…

Crisis is the litmus test of your mettle and even if you fall or retreat, it's absolutely ok, unless you choose not to get up again.

All Endings are actually beginning and an opportunity to try better than yesterday. Thanks for sharin

To Me The Best Power is Empower

 

Trigger Analysis is so Important.....

 I like this checklist! How about you to be thoughtful for ??

There are many triggers in life that start the deep patterned beliefs & behaviours off. Everything is in the mindset - whether one feels empowered or powerless in response to any emotional trigger. But, EOD Understanding what is causing low behaviours can help relationships and resistance to ahead up.

Do Works That Matters

Not just persuade, but drill, practice, reinforce and, yes, brainwash.

The mission: to teach you that you’re average; That compliant work is the best way to a reliable living; That creating average stuff for average people, again and again, is a safe and easy way to get what you want.

Step out of line and the system would nudge (or push) you back to the center. Show signs of real creativity, originality or even genius, and well-meaning parents, teachers and authority figures would eagerly line up to get you back in line.

Our culture needed compliant workers, people who would contribute without complaint, and we set out to create as many of them as we could.

And so generations of students turned into generations of cogs—factory workers in search of a sinecure. We were brainwashed into fitting in, and then discovered that the economy wanted people who stood out instead.

When exactly were we brainwashed into believing that the best way to earn a living is to have a job?

I think each one of us needs to start with that.

Over time, the benefit of working for the man and following a manual as a compliant cog is going to go down, while, paradoxically, the difficulty in getting a decent job will go up.

We just lived through a few generations of huge companies that got bigger, giant bureaucracies that got bigger and white-collar jobs that got farther and farther away from actually making something that a customer might buy.

And then, pretty suddenly, that faded. Unemployment goes up, downsizing happens, layers of fat disappear and the idea that you could get a good job, indoors, paid well, doing not much except watching the dog that bites the pilot if he messes with the autopilot... well, those jobs are gone.

Is that it? Are you done? Is this the end of the road, the best it’s going to get, the beginning of the end?

Same job, but more work, less pay.
Same industry, but less growth, no challenges.
Same path, fewer options.

It’s entirely possible that you’ve trudged as far as you can go on this road, and that the slog is just going to be more of the same. Possible.

But I don’t believe it.

Why?

Because there’s more leverage, more degrees of freedom and more opportunity today than ever before—if you’re up for the choice.

The new industrial revolution (the one we’re living through, the one that’s changing everything) has opened doors for anyone (or certainly anyone with enough resources and education to be able to read this document). If you’ve got the time, the intellect and the access to get your hands on an idea that spread as this manifesto did, then you have the ability to reinvent yourself, regardless of what you do, who you do it with, or what the people around you expect.

The pillars we grew up with (things like General Motors, TV, the postal service, retirement, top down media and commodities) are disappearing and are being replaced with entirely new ways of interacting, making a living and making a difference. Not just for organizations, but for individuals—people like you.

Look around you. Who are the successful people in our world today? It’s not the Jack Welch, captain-of-industry type, nor is it the pension-earning, go-to-work-every-day-for-fifty-years factory man. A fundamental shift has happened, right under our feet. The system—the much vaunted system, the system that nurtured our parents and even our grandparents—has turned sour.

It’s like this: we were brainwashed. Brainwashed into believing a set of rules that aren’t true (any more). And because the brainwashing has been so complete, the shifts in our world and new opportunities they open up are easy to see as ways to shore up yesterday’s faltering system. Please, don’t fall for that. Don’t use the tools of today to support your effort to do yesterday’s job better.

This is an opportunity to completely reinvent your role in the system.

Do you remember learning to factor quadrilateral equations? x2 -32x +12? Why were you taught this? Why did they spend hours drilling you on such clearly useless content? Simple: you were being trained to be a compliant cog, someone who could mindlessly follow instructions as opposed to seeking out innovation and surprise.

The evidence is clear. The function of public education was (and is) to turn out compliant workers. Not educated voters, not passionate ideamakers. No, we spend all this money on school taxes to be sure that there will be enough people to do all the work that the factories once needed done. Exceptional teachers, the ones who make a difference, are not only rare, but they’re almost always in trouble for bending the rules and not optimizing for the standardized tests.

The brainwashing continues to this day. You’ve been brainwashed to believe that you’re stuck with what you’ve got, that you need to punch a clock, follow a manual and do what you’re told. I wonder who dreamed that up? It’s certainly in the interest of the dominant forces of our society to create an

oversupply of eager and compliant workers. But now, as the power shifts, so does your opportunity.

Are you serious about transformation? I’m not talking about polishing yourself, improving yourself, making things a bit better. I’m talking about the reset button, a reinvention that changes the game. That means an overhaul in what you believe and how you do your job. If you’re up for that, then right here, right now, you can start.

“It’s like this: we were brainwashed. Brainwashed into believing a set of rules that aren’t true (any more). And because the brainwashing has been so complete, the shifts in our world and new opportunities they open up are easy to see as ways to shore up yesterday’s faltering system.” 

Four words available to anyone. They’re here if you want them. The economy just gave you leverage—the leverage to make a difference, the leverage to spread your ideas and the leverage to have impact. More people have more leverage (more chances and more power) to change the world than at any other time in history. What are you going to do about it? When?

Here are seven levers available for anyone (like you) in search of reinvention:

1. Connect
2. Be generous
3. Make art
4. Acknowledge the lizard
5. Ship
6. Fail
7. Learn

 You took already a first step you read something that challenged you to think differently. The path to reinvention, though, is just that—a path. The opportunity of the time is to discard what you think you know and instead learn what you need to learn. Every single day. And I think this changes everything… if we let it with being generous to ourselves!

Share & Care is the living :) 

"Taking Lessons "

What an accurate and horrible term.

It’s hard to imagine that most people would look forward to taking lessons. In the piano or arithmetic or anything else.

You take medicine. You take your punishment. It’s unwanted but grudgingly accepted.

The term gives away the intent behind it.

Learning is different. Learning is something we get to do, it’s a dance, an embrace, a chance to turn on some lights.

You don’t take a workshop. You are part of one.

“This Will Change Your Mind”

 

How often is that true?

Not very.

Changing a mind is difficult work. It won’t happen with a standard intervention, and it probably requires enrollment on the part of the person you’re engaging with as well.That's how the voice inside your head works.The point of the exercise was to see if I could control my heart rate while under duress and increase focus at the same time.Learn what sounds you make, when you make them and when you do hear them, it will trigger how you can get your emotion under control so you stick to your guns or change your mind and make that hard decision. Most of all, trust your gut.
