The above are some of the examples of complaining in day-to-day life. It has zero efficacy and only leads to an enhancement of negativity The situation does not change no matter how much one complains or whines Nobody cares if you complain It depletes positive energy It enhances toxicity It makes the ...

What is enthusiasm Enthusiasm is that ecstatic energy that you feel deep within when you approach anything with the excitement,passion and drive to deliver and grow.It is more beautiful than svaroski diamonds and the sunset in the Fiji Islands.It fuels you to outperform yourself and propels you forward as you chase your dreams and goals. Sadly, this energy is eaten into by asshole bosses, complaining colleagues,nasty hours, overtly demanding clients, lack of appreciation ,team politics,lack of sleep,excessive caffeine and doughnuts. After a while, typically an employee shows up at work looking and feeling like a corpse and does not have the motivation to perform.It is all about the paycheque and paying bills thereafter.Also, promotions,new responsibilities,career growth cease to interest the employee. His/her fire is getting extinguished by this stage. The answer to re-kindling the fire is re-injecting enthusiasm or preventing the loss thereof. The ways to do tha...

New job and additional project management responsibilities.International travel for work.Living out of the suitcase.Late night drinks with prospective clients to get new business.Tapas bar dates.Yoga between lunch and tea right inside the office.Screaming toddler ,split cornflakes and milk.Running late for the Pilates class. Everything crumbling around .Time please.I just want to leave all this and go for a holiday in the Bahamas.Pending project report.Buzzing fax machine.Damn!!! This is a snapshot in the life of a single ,middle-aged executive who works for a large corporation ( also a single parent to a toddler) in any large city in the world.She tries her best to meet the demands of those at work, at home and tries to pull time for activities and exercise. The whole collage appears gray and then turns black though. Her intentions about wanting to have a balanced lifestyle with fun and enjoyment along with career progression.Sadly, she is not able to manage it ...

Success is likened to a big Ferrari and a house in the Bahamas overlooking the sea for the rich and elite.It is that new closed deal after which one manufacturing company will acquire the assets of another .It is that admit into Stanford or Yale.It is that private equity job someone landed at KKR.It is those new Cartier watches and that ride on the Lambourghini. It is two square meals in sub-saharan Africa.It is a pitcher of clean drinking water.It is admit to a school in war torn Syria.It is a night of peace without any bomb going off during war. It is that successful zazen you conducted with the team at the dhamma centre.It is mindfulness and peace.It is yoga and green tea without any stress.It is that trip to the Himalayas wherein you don’t have cell phone network and hence loads of tranquility. Success means different things to different people depending upon where they’re at in life. Determine what it means for you and then chase it relentlessly. There is ...

Imagine a typical Monday morning.Ned’s mobile phone alarm goes off at 7 am.He snoozes it   in 15 minute increments till 8 am and then rushes to the bathroom with a start.He can’t find clean clothes to put on and just wears the shirt from Friday on which he had spilled wine and douses it with loads of deo to mask the smell. His head hurts from last night’s beer overdose   and he crave latte immediately.There is no milk in the house though and he makes do with black coffee for now.He opens the fridge scrounging for something to eat and realizes that it is empty.He rushes to office without breakfast and then plans to order a bagel once he reaches there.

After the bagel his boss asks for an update on last weeks projects and ...
