“Life without challenges is a boring life, isn’t it? Unless, of course, if you love gossiping and watching TV most of the time. Challenges are directly related to opportunities and growth. As they say, “A good sailor is the one who has sailed through the rough sea”. Similarly, a wise man is the one who has overcome different challenges in life and yet ready to face another one. If one wants to live a purposeful life, they must get comfortable with the unevenness of life. A man becomes wise with the variation of his experiences, not by his age.”

“The most dangerous phrase in the English language is, “We have always done it this way”.Many parents use this phrase to answer curious children. Many employees in organizations use this phrase to oppose change. Many people use this phrase to convince themselves so that they can continue to live in a comfort zone. This mindset has killed many dreams and aspirations and has derailed many successful journeys, for individuals as well as organizations. Never kill your curiosity. Never accept anything without asking questions. Something that had relevance 20 years ago, now has become irrelevant. There is always a first time in life. Something hasn’t happened till date, doesn’t mean it will never happen. Life is all about opening up us to new experiences.”

“If I run, I might fall.If I TRUST someone, I might get backstabbed.If I LOVE someone, I might get hurt.If I share my FEEDBACK, they might ridicule me or make fun of me.If I eat outside food, I might fall sick.If I disagree with someone, they might try to harm my child.If I take a DIFFERENT DIRECTION in my life (without any precedent), I might fail. If I DRIVE on road, I might meet with an accident.If I get into a relationship, they might try to change me.If I don’t follow social norms, they might isolate me.Oh God, with so many fears…one might just stop living. It is as good as being dead. FACE YOUR FEARS, don’t run away from them. As we know Murphy’s law, “IF SOMETHING HAS TO GO WRONG, IT WILL”. Till then, enjoy every day of your life and celebrate every moment of your life. BE FEARLESS. Do BUNGEE JUMP, SKYDIVE, climb mountains, do sea surfing, anything and everything your heart wants to do.”

“Whether planned or unplanned, no journey is easy. One can plan the date of journey, the mode of travel, and a place for the stay but how can you plan your experiences – people you might meet, the weather of the day, and situations you will be put through. So, what about the most unplanned journey – the journey of your life. It won’t be easy, right? But then who has been promised an easy life? No one. Life is just beautiful. It’s a balancing act. There are failures, rejections, disappointments, and hatred. And there are celebrations, acceptance, love, and compassion. Life is amazing. Fasten your seatbelts and be ready for unique experiences, designed just for you.”

“Though each one of us is BORN FEARLESS, our response to failures and rejections incites fear in us. If we get rejected, we are NOT GOOD ENOUGH and if we fail, we may become laughing-stock; our mind has been programmed in that manner by people around us. No matter how strong we try to appear to the world, criticism develops fear in us. As a result of it, we avoid doing things we are not certain about and if we fail in something, we make sure not to try it again. The only way to overcome fear is to face it. FACE YOUR FEAR. Don’t worry, if you fall or fail, get up and try again. Those who are making fun of you or are criticizing you, in reality, they are scared of you. They know…you will do it. They are criticising you because when they were trying something new, NO ONE ENCOURAGED THEM. They doubt their own capabilities.”
