Enough is a decision

Anxiety has a way of impregnating into our lives and snow balling mole hills into mountains. It dwells in the shadows and does not have any form per se. It begins with clouding our judgmental prowess. Before we know, our ability of applying logical rationality is tossed out of the window and we are weighing every negative aspect heavily in our mind and heart. This is just when fear injects itself and stands in the way of our decision making endowment.

We often tend to suffer emotionally. We give importance to everything other than our own soul. We fear taking a stance. We fear being a rebel. We fear losing. We fear rejection. We fear becoming a failure. It seems like a bottom less pit. It feels boundless. Anxiety to fear to depression, in no time we are engulfed in it all.

We all go through such phases personally and professionally.

What do you in such a complex scenario?
Breathe. Pause. Breathe.
Repeat till you can put your thinking cap on.

Define the situation.
Role play into becoming the Observer of your life.
Decide how important every aspect related to the plot is.
Do not work on assumptions. Label your thoughts and feelings.
Identify an index of plausible alternatives.
Let the core of your inner-self guide you.
Learn to say "Enough is enough" if needed and stand up for it.
Put a period where you need to and move on.


Enough is that period which is where it needs to be. It is not a measurement by the yardstick or the weigh scale.

ENOUGH IS A DECISION. Take it before it is too late.

A Legend Lost. A Legacy Forever.

 On October 9, 2024, India lost one of its most cherished industrialists and humanitarians, Ratan Tata. His last words on social media, " Thank you for thinking of me. " were quintessentially Tata—humble, understated, and full of grace. These parting words have reverberated across the nation, encapsulating the quiet dignity with which he lived and led. In an age where public figures often tower through grand gestures, Ratan Tata’s approach was markedly different. His power was wielded not through public spectacle, but through quiet action, compassionate leadership, and a relentless commitment to integrity. From his role in expanding the Tata Group into a global conglomerate to his advocacy for animal welfare and support for start-ups, Tata's legacy is one of kindness interwoven with visionary business strategy. What set Ratan Tata apart was not just the scope of his achievements, but the human touch he brought to them. Even as he orchestrated some of India’s most signifi...

FREEDOM

What is FREEDOM .?? It is the ability to deliberate or weigh alternatives and make choices of our own on our own. Decision is akin to making incisions to the deepest level possible of every available alternative without any fear or worry. Having done this it becomes easier to seive what really matters to us from what doesn't. Fear knocked at the door. Faith answered. There was no one there. Speaks volumes, doesn't it? Such is Life. It is all about making one decision after another which makes us who we are..!! So, how important is freedom? Let me tell you, it is bloody hell important to each one us. Let go off this and the journey thereon will be a series of debacles and heart burn. When I make a decision, I withdraw into my shell (Yes, I'm a typical cancerian.!!) cut off all alternatives and make a choice and having done that then I do not look back in life ever. There have been numerous cross-roads in my life that made me halt, pause my life and ...

Moving On...

If you haven't the strength to impose your own terms upon life, you must accept the terms it offers you. ~ T. S. Eliot Life can hit real hard at times. Some incidents knock you down, some breeze past while some blow you out and bring you to your knees. How many times do we wallow in the bitterness of our lives that has embittered us deeply to the extent of them leaving a dent on us? Be it the emotional upheavals due to the lows in business or career, a broken heart, being grossly misunderstood, lovelorn, untrue accusations, drifting away of close relations, death of revered ones, frayed experiences of being used as a pawn after having been unknowingly kept in the dark, caught in Catch 22 situations, the list would go on endlessly... It's oft said, "Move On...". Do not hold back onto the past, live in the present, dream of the tomorrows that are waiting to unfold themselves with time. Is it really as easy as it is said? NO. For the value system inculcated ...
