The real work that takes place to build a success story happens behind the scene and not many see what's involved, what it takes and how much effort goes into making something that delivers value to the audience. Entrepreneur, Professional, Parent, Spouse ... whoever you are, whatever your project is (business, job or family), the goal is always to do your best and keep being a better version of who you were yesterday. It's not what you will get in return but who you are doing for and what difference will you make, is why you do those things. Celebrate where you are today, celebrate how far you have come and keep your focus on where you need to go. Tomorrow is uncertain but what you are doing and can do is entirely in your hands. Believe in yourself, keep making the magic you do and let your actions define your future, as much as is in your control. Your efforts, dreams, loved ones, and you, are worth it! Dream Big, Make It Happen!

Alone, Happy & Focused - By Choice

Rabindra Tagore wrote, "Ekla Chalo Re".

Time and again, this song and its lyrics have had immense role to play in my life personally and professionally, that kept me going despite all the odds and roadblocks standing like a massive iron-wall in my face.

The opening lyric is -

*******

Jodi Tor Dak Shune Keu Na Ase Tobe Ekla Cholo Re

("If no one responds to your call, then go your own way alone")

The song exhorts the listener to continue their journey, despite abandonment or lack of support from others. The song is often quoted in the context of political or social change movements. Mahatma Gandhi, who was deeply influenced by this song cited it as one of his favorite songs. (Source Wikipedia)

*******

My flaws are mine and mine to deal with, but so are my values to live up to. After my father's murder, life changed in a way that personal and family safety became the biggest aspect in every decision we made in our lives. It remains a prominent factor in deciding where my family or I will go or not. My mother has not gone within tens of miles of the suburb for 21 years, where he was brutally murdered. For over a decade I did not even visit the country altogether. Our lives changed, for good!

Fast Forward to 2010s, as I became an Entrepreneur (surprise surprise given parents were Entrepreneurs too!!) I realized, very often that even in business, very often you are alone. You have a team; you have an entourage but when it comes to making big choices and taking risks you are alone. And that is not a negative thing. It is just accepting and understanding the reality that it is nobody else's burden to make those choices for you.

When making these choices I ask myself three questions -

1. Am I making a choice that will in any way, shape or form help my family, community and people I value?

2. Will my choice become a hurdle, disrespect or violation of anyone's rights as a stakeholder?

3. Will I be able to sleep with satisfaction and gratitude after making my decision?

And only and only when answers to all the questions are positive and I feel good about them, I make these 'Ekla' choices.

What I have realized over the years is, that when you are responsible enough to make these decisions for yourself considering how it impact those you value, and still think and decide as an independent person- you make a decision that will help you grow as well as will have a positive impact on your loved ones, and everyone else affected by your choices.

I am a lover, lover of people, teams, friends, family, spouses (well only one when I have one) and for me, even the decisions I make ALONE are decisions where I process the impact and effect on those I value. I am loyal, I am committed, and I am connected so for me, ignoring the impact on others is not even a possibility.

At times it will not be understood and appreciated and it sure isn't pleasant for me, and I understand I cannot (and do not aim to) please everyone, but where I can and where I should, I do consider others in my 'Ekla' choices too. I AM SELFISH BUT IN THE MOST UNSELFISH WAY, GO FIGURE!

At the end of the day, my vision is very clear - INSPIRE myself and others to use the power of Creativity, Engagement and Leadership to influence progress and empower myself and others to Dream Big and Make It Happen.

If I can stay true to this with Clarity, Truth. Courage and Resilience, everything that I must face in the process is a lesson I am grateful for and willing to learn.

How do you make your decisions?

Disclaimer: The previous profile photo was far too serious and needed a bit less 'I am hangry' look so replacing. LOLOLOL!!! - On a serious note though .. - It is time to train our Mind, Body, Heart, Clients, Team even Professional Network, Family, Friends, Pets .. to know how you are going to be a Fierce & Indomitable Force of Joy, Prosperity and Kindness in their lives. It is time to #INSPIREinfluenCEL. - It would be sheer stupidity to say 2019 was not a great year, or any year of our life that we get to be alive even with any amount of challenges - Each year gives us opportunity to learn more about ourselves Our strengths, weaknesses, courage and fears And to recognize who is going to be with us In the worst of times and who is going to sashay away At the first sign of trouble. - I am grateful for all of the years, months, weeks, days, minutes and seconds I have had in this life and I am going to get further Because none of us know, when that clock stops ticking. - I am grateful. I am focused. I am clear. - And I am here for YOU! *terms apply* - Let's #DreamBigMakeItHappen together! Szebastian Onne G.
