Lessons from the Everest Base Camp trip of the past three Weeks by Dinesh Chandra
, CEO of Global Wellbeing Network
- Embrace Your Own Pace: Life is not a race. Don’t compete with others—find your own sustainable rhythm. We are all unique, with a divine purpose and a distinct dream.
- Stretch Your Limits: Growth happens when we push beyond our comfort zones. Maslow called it self-actualization—the journey toward realizing your full potential.
- Surrender Ego, Embrace Grace: True progress comes when we let go of ego. It’s grace that carries us toward our purpose, not pride.
- Value Both the Swift and the Steady: Whether you’re a rabbit or a turtle, both have their place. While rabbits may be fast, turtles live long and meaningful lives.
- Practice Gratitude and Compassion: Be grateful and kind to all you meet on this journey of life. Everyone has something to teach us.
- Start Each Day with Gratitude: Reframe every morning with a mindset of gratitude. People are kind and lovable, no matter where in the world you are.
- When Exhausted, Focus on One Step: When you feel like you can’t go on, just focus on taking one more step. Your body will follow, your mind like a zombie.
- Trust the Universe’s Plan: Have confidence in yourself. If you achieve what you set out to, great. But if you don’t, it’s probably because the universe has something better aligned for you.
- Dream Big and Act: Dream large, but also pay attention to those who show up along the way. Prepare, act, and let go—allow the process to unfold.
- Accept What You Can’t Control: Outcomes are beyond our control, but our actions aren’t. So, surrender, smile, and embrace today—you’re alive, with another opportunity to move closer to your dreams.
