FACILITATING EXCELLENCE

We are all victim of circumstances, or at least its easier to fall in that trap. Why bother confronting. Blame it on situation, or people or well I can give you tons and tons of other reason and things to blame it on. Infact, my favorite is blame it on self. Go deep into the wallows of self pity. Realize how useless you are. And how easier it is not to make things work for you 'I always do that'. or 'Why does it happen to me'.  And then we get on with our lives. with the same situation, looking for a silver lining, hoping that one day all will be fine. Because that is  what life says, Never Give Up. So we don't. We go on fighting battles one after another. We want to be warriors. So what, is that not an admirable trait? I remember writing about it.

He mentioned Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, who is known for his creativity, energy and passion. Interestingly he goes on to say, that Mark Cuban believes that passion is overrated. Phew. Relieved, I was.  So now I could stop looking for what  I am passionate about and

  I am an entrepreneur. Actually made the shift recently. So here is what happened. I went to conduct a training session. I came out feeling incredible. Had a positive feedback from all the trainees. I could gather that each of my trainees who wanted a takeaway from the program actually got it. So here is the question, why was I confused, uncertain, unsure despite feeling confident. And then after lots and lots and lots of questions to figure out my thinking; I understood. I needed validation. Yes I have made the shift to an entrepreneur, but I still needed validation. I was still, sometimes working on an employee mindset. And that led me to another realization. The realization as an entrepreneur, to stop and congratulate myself for the good work done.

So at the end, on the journey of a new beginning, any beginnin
