Don't stop when you're tired, Stop when you're done.

Don't stop when you're tired. Stop when you're done.

Believe in yourself & anything is possible.

Silence is better than unnecessary drama.

Good things take time.

All we have is now.

Whatever you decide to do, make sure it makes you happy.

If your dreams don't scare you, they are too small.

Success is not an activity, but a process.

Making mistakes is better than faking perfection.

The best way you get started is to quit talking and begin doing.

You know what I read motivational quotes similar to the one above or when I do a retrospective on course deviation or when I hear someone who has achieved great things or when I dream for big, I'll be getting energy like the water gushing out of a dam which was just opened. With kind that energy I'll start to dig things that come in front of me Wait! Wait! Wait! don't jump to a conclusion that I'm a highly self-motivated person by nature😜. There is also another side of me, I'll take few steps forward maybe a little more, and enjoy the kick with a new set of goals, unfortunately after that kick I tend to lose my concentration and restart the cycle from the first.

With the above introduction, I know you would have captured what I'm going to speak/capture as part of this blog. If you have felt that I'm not clear then for you folks let me explicitly let you know that I'm gonna write about Motivation.

The following are my perspective w.r.t motivation:

It is better to stop when you're no more motivated in doing a certain thing/work.
A piece of advice from the right person can be a motivational aspect.
Not all advice helps us to motivate.
A Motivation can be

Intrinsic
Extrinsic

Motivation is always from inner-self
Something that's not from inner-self, is just a facilitator to stay on the course.

From my view for us to stay motivated we could choose all or some combination of the following based on the situation/problem:

Always hope for the best and move march forward as much as possible.
Don't set high expectations.
Let it go if it's not controllable.
Develop resilience.
Consider every new step as learning and never regret it.
Stay +ve.
Don't blame destiny, it's the desire.

Let's meet on my next reflective journal on System Thinking.

What's RLJ & Why RLJ?

What is RLJ? RLJ, is one of the acronym that I'm connected to the most when compared to other acronyms in my life span, each and every cells in my body is aware of what is RLJ and what made RLJ a unique. RLJ is a symbol of trust that's been developed/built from the scratch for about 6-7 decades, I'm sure developing trust is one of the most hard part in this world and maintaining that same trust also requires same amount of contributions. Though RLJ is very much associated to my family, when I wanted to choose my carrier I have decided not get into RLJ for a while and I'm still staying away from it. Why I'm stay away? when it has its own charisma, because of the obsession & possessiveness that my father and grandfather holds with it and during my late teens & early 20's I was a bit skeptical to get myself associated along with them, as they had devoted their life entirely for it without any rest or entertainment thinking only to get RLJ running in full t...

Roller Coaster

Just imagine the following scene and try to imagine the feelings that you would have for each and every step when you take a roller coaster ride: You're in an amusement park and you see a very good roller coaster, You have decided to take that ride and standing in the queue, Your turn comes and you brace yourself with the belts, The Roller coaster starts with a jerk, Slowly moving towards the peak and stops for a while in between, Then with a jerk moves to the peak and stops for free fall, Here comes a twist and turns, ups and downs, Finally stops. Phew!!!!!! Hope you have imagined the feelings in each and every step, For me it goes like this typically, Love to get into the ride Curious & Excited Anxious Fear Afraid Joy + Fun Entertainment That's it???????? During my 10th session of MOB, Prof. Viji was not, as usual, she used to be in the class, all of a sudden she started to behave like a school teacher, blasted almost more than half of the class, and left ...

Follow your Heart.

Let me start with a flashback, will rewind to 22 years back, A day before my 10th public exams results (as I promised, in my first blog I'm covering this incident here). Of course, it was the summer holiday and I have completed my class 10th public exams, what would I be doing? I was playing in the streets in the evening and I was also learning the business from my grad father during mornings and after lunch also, roam in my chariot ( TVS 50) . My day came home from the shop more than usual, I had no clues why he is stepping out of the shop when there is a customer. In by evening I noticed the same behavior he stepped in-home and on curious I followed him to see why he is at home. He rushed and I happen to notice that he had a loose motion that day. The cause for it was me😜when he saw me at the home he asked are you not worried about your results? As I was an average student in the class with very bad handwriting he concluded that I may not pass and I'll give him a bad reput...
