A Prelude to a Journey of Intent and Empowerment

It was that time in my life, when nothing seemed to go the way it was meant to go. I then realised, there is nothing “the way it has to go”. It just happens and life seems to keep going. I was meant to take control, take action. And here I was in a confused state of mind. I knew I didn’t want to do what I was doing. However, what is that I want to do?????? It was the biggest question to answer.

Not to anyone, but it was to me.

What am I doing? Why am I doing? Where am I going with myself? What is that I am looking for??? Too much to think, too much to act on.

The biggest question…

 “Can I take a plunge into doing something different?  

The only affirmation was Yes, I can.

I quit a well-paid job, mindful of the fact that, it meant a few compromises. Completely willing to do so, accepting the reality and said good-bye to a constant monthly salary.

Some of my spiritual practices helped me stand strong and take these bold decisions. Forgiveness & staying in the present moment came to me easily as I practiced “Mindfulness”.

 I just knew what I needed, when….My “I Can” attitude helped me stay grounded & brought in a new beginning. I was “There” just wanting to give back to people, to the society. Want to make a difference. I stood strong amidst less encouraging people. Yes, I set out to do what I thought was bringing a meaning in my life.

What got me to where I am, was my attitude towards life and my behaviour towards situations. I decided I am going to help people look at life with a better perspective and help them bring change in their behaviour, for a balanced life with better quality. Being a people’s leader, I loved being with people, coaching & mentoring them by sharing some of my own experiences with my learning. I always told people live & enjoy life in the present moment.

With this… I started my journey towards my goal.

Initially, it was a struggle to explain to people as to why I quit the corporate job after 2 decades. It was a challenge to communicate with them that

·       I can make a difference,

·       Engage with me as a trainer and you will see something different.  

As days went by, I noticed people failed to understand this aspect of mine. Gradually I cut it out of my conversation. I changed my approach and confidently spoke to people. Here I come across a different set of people. They were more interested in my personal stuff rather than engaging me for work.

It was a rich learning phase… Various People and Diverse Experiences. Some of them pleasant, and more of them unpleasant. 

I began to ponder if this is how I should continue?

Is this how women are treated when wanting to work independently with passion??  

Unanswered questions!! I wished I had someone to discuss this with. Someone to guide me better.

 A turmoil of emotions within me, fought rejections from known trusted sources.  

While the urge to do what I set out to do was growing stronger… Disappointments, people’s talk, people’s ugly intentions were trying to take over my peace of mind.  

I couldn’t let that happen, because that’s the only thing I earned for myself. I would never want to miss to mention the immense emotional & moral support from my closest family, which was my biggest strength.  

I Struggled, walked the path with hope and the grit that I will do what I set out to do. That was my passion. Living a peaceful life was my passion. I can’t let that die!! 

I finally gave up on people who I thought will be with me through this journey. Some gave me a cold shoulder, turned their back and walked away. That’s the reality of life. This is where the world is heading, I thought. People are scared to help, while I knew I had to do it. I had an option to give up. But I knew I had the best ways to get to where I wanted to see myself.

When I stopped believing there are helpful and kind people in my known circle, I channelized my energy towards the right direction; and as I believed from deep within, the universe conspired in getting me what I needed the most. And here comes a complete stranger who was willing to stand by me, hold my hand as a guide/mentor. A humble, simple and grounded human, with absolutely no intentions, just interested in bringing out the best out of me. He is an Inspiration, Guides & Mentors me.  

With renewed Energy and Clarity in Intent, I begin with enthusiasm & great excitement, with lot of learning, a journey towards Empowering Lives, Transforming cultures and Enabling Excellence in Businesses. A Journey that will bring the Best of People across Cultures together to create an Ecosystem that our future truly needs.

This is a Prelude to my Journey… and I am happy you are part of this story.

 There are so many wonderful people with deep passion and intent to make a difference to this beautiful world. People blessed with unique gifts wanting to come together to live their purpose in their life time.

 Do not give up, because that’s the easiest of all.

Be positive, what is meant to happen will happen to you.

And Believe in yourself and make that your biggest strength.

 Let your passion drive you to your goal and happiness.

 And like it has happened to me, find your critic, your mentor, your guiding north star to realize your dreams with intent. It’s a beautiful life destined to create awesomeness! … Let’s begin!
