Insurance to Success-1

I am miserable failure – I can’t seem to do anything right:
Problem: Everyone is a failure, if you look at it in certain ways.  Everyone has failed, many times, at different things. I have certainly failed so many times I cannot count them – and I continue to fail, daily. However, looking at your failures as failures only makes you feed bad about yourself. By thinking in this way, we will have a negative self-image and never move on from them.
Solution: See your successes and ignore your failure. Look back on your life, in the last month, or year, or 5 years. And try to remember your success. If you have trouble with this, start documenting them – keep a success journal, either in a notebook or online. Document your success  each day, or each week. When you look back at what you've accomplished, over a year, you will be amazed. It is an incredibly positive feeling. 
I’m going to beat so-and-so no matter what – I’m better than him. And there’s no way I’ll help him succeed. – he might beat me.
Problem: Competitiveness assumes that there is a small amount of gold to be had, and I need to get it before he does. It makes us into greedy, back-stabbing, hurtful people. We try to claw our way over people to get to success, because of our competitive feeling. For example, if blogger wants to have more subscriber than another blogger, he may never link to or mention that other blogger. However, who is to say that my subscriber can’t also be yours? People can read and subscribe to more than one blog.
Solution: Learn to see success as something that can be shared, and learn that if we help each other out, we can each have a better chance to be successful. Two people working towards a common goal are better than two people trying to beat each other up to get to that goal. There is abundance rather than scarcity.

Like success, failure is many things to many people. With Positive Mental Attitude, failure is a learning experience, a rung on the ladder, a plateau at which to get your thoughts in order and prepare to try again.

On Leadership-3

The longer we wait to take action, the harder it is to get started. Circumstances will never be perfect and waiting until they are is the same as going nowhere. The truth is, it will probably never get any easier to move forward and every moment that we hold back will just make things worse.
Momentum is one of the greatest examples of the Law of Attraction at work. Powerful thoughts are followed by other powerful thoughts. Powerful actions are followed by other powerful actions. We see it in the world around us every day. 
Momentum is an object moving forward at a fast pace because of the force or the momentum creating speed. This is a popular term used in leadership discussions. Leaders like to use the term momentum to describe the ease of change because the people are highly motivated to move in the direction that the leaders want their people to move in. 
It can carry you like a strong current carries a fallen leaf. It can ground you like an early morning walk through the woods. It can move you like wind moves a cloud across the summer sky. It can ignite your spirit and make you feel like you can do anything. Momentum can surge you forward and it can pull you under. It goes with your flow, follows your lead and enhances your chances. By weaving your ongoing success into your visualization practice you can accelerate momentum even more.
That one success of starting morning walking led to another success … and then another. I took up little bit small exercise.  I became a careful eater and the dumped the junk food. Started feeling like getting into new area of choices.
Like a cricketer who possess the intelligence and awareness to understand when momentum is shifting or has changed. There are many triggers that change momentum, from the roar of the crowd, or chant. The noise of crowd does not have to adversely affect performance but enhance.
Let momentum ignite you:
Once you feel it is growing, let momentum fan the fire inside you – a fire that may have been burnt out or smouldering under the surface for a long time. Let yourself feel love and passion towards yourself, your life and everything you do then begin to recover, uncover or discover your true potential. If often leaps out of the flames.
Let momentum push & pull you: Take that first step in a direction of your own choosing, then with each bold statement, each strong strides, each clear-thinking choice let momentum joyously lift you higher and farther. Exceed your own expectations and strengthen your resolve to be who you were meant to be and nothing less. Don’t strive and stress – instead simplify and find success on your terms.
STRUCTURED-ANNUITY-SETTLEMENT 
Managing the Momentum: 
Stay present and keep in the moment:  Win a point, don’t try to win the match.
Keep your effort consistent and hard: Don’t relax when you ahead or don’t push too hard when you’re behind. One step, one point, one stroke at a time. 
That is the power of MOMENTUM. Think about it, whenever you start something new for the first time or decide to embark on a new challenge or pursue a new ...sport, hobby, and business anything under the sun. 
Create a vision and never let the environment, other people's beliefs, or the limits of what has been done in the past shape your decisions. Ignore conventional...
Much better to swim with the current and the then find an exit. Momentum is like a current, We need to stay calm, relaxed. 
That is the power of MOMENTUM. Think about it, whenever you start something new for the first time or decide to embark on a new challenge or pursue a new ...sport, hobby, business anything under the sun.

On Leadership-2

We all one or other time faced with crises or struggle. Wasn’t it or not. That situation causes hopelessness.  But it’s in this despair situation the best opportunities emerge. If we can  keep our eyes and mind open.  
No matter what type of situation you are in, or what type of crises you lead, one of the keys that will determine the outcome is your mental attitude. If we see it as a problem with no hope, then definitely it is no hope situation. But we can find a new way you couldn’t have imagined before the crisis presented itself. It allows us to practice patience and acceptance and find renewed hope — which is the most beautiful thing. 
A crisis is an opportunity to change grow learn reflect and become better. It’s where we discover who we are and how we can find a new way we couldn't have imagined before the crisis presented itself. It allows us to practice patience and acceptance and find renewed hope — which is the most beautiful thing. 
Say a loss job; it was an opportunity for reinvention and to strike out on my own.

MORTGAGE=ADVISER 
Ten years back when I've to leave my job in US and return to India because of my father’s health it was an opportunity to reflect on that loved one’s wonderful life and for our family to come together in a way never possible before. I never thought what I am going to do?  
All I knew at the time was that if I could quit job after twenty years of experience, I could do anything. That’s what momentum feels like. (Word from Dalai Lama-pic)
When I moved and missed my job terribly it was an opportunity to learn introspection and self-sufficiency and grow closer to family here in my own country. When I daily face the terror of the void staring at me face to face it is my chance to push back and assert my will and imprint my soul upon this malleable world. And that my friends are beauty. It is the finding of renewed hope and growth when all else seems bleak and lost.
Achieving momentum starts with creating forward progress. Getting started is the most difficult part. It’s like the law of inertia: an object in motion tends to stay in motion, and an object at rest tends to stay at rest. Momentum is what happens when you get moving.
It can be harnessed, gathered and used as an incredibly transformation tool.
Getting into the cold waters is difficult but the momentum by trying, experimenting, taking a first step, forgiving yourself for slip-ups and then trying again. Plunge into whatever you’ve been putting off for “some day” and make today the day you begin. Imagine how incredible it will feel to let the current of momentum carry you from this one success towards another. Each can be a wave you ride to the next. 
It can carry you like a strong current carries a fallen leaf. It can ignite your spirit and make you feel like you can do anything. 
It is momentum – that invisible, universal force that can saturate your every choice, your every step, your every breath, and your every moment of resolve with vibrant, joyful energy. Momentum can surge you forward and it can pull you under. It goes with your flow, follows your lead and enhances your opportunity. 
Take that first step in a direction of your own choosing, then with each bold statement, each strong stride; each clear-thinking choice let momentum joyously lift you higher and farther. Exceed your own expectations and strengthen your resolve to be who you were meant to be and nothing less. Don’t strive and stress – instead simplify and find success on your terms. 
As I mentioned in my opening, every obstacle, blocks, turning and twists in our life throws an opportunity. It can be harnessed, gathered and used as an incredibly transformation tool.
Only Insurance in life is your mental attitude. Your compensation in life is measure by how you look into the opportunity around you.

On Leadership-1

Dammit! Why do these bad things always happen to me?
Problem: Bad things happen to everybody. If we dwell on them, they frustrate us and bring us down.
Solution: See bad things as part of the ebb and flow of life. Suffering is a part of the human condition – but it passes. All pain goes away, eventually. Meanwhile, don’t let it hold you back. Don’t dwell on bad things, but look forward towards something good in your future. And learn to take the bad things in stride, and learn from them. Bad things are actually opportunities to grow and learn and get stronger, in disguise.
You can’t do anything right! Why can’t you be like _____________?
Problem: This can be said to your child or your subordinate or your sibling. The problem? Comparing two people, first of all, is always a fallacy. People are different, with different ways of doing things, different strengths and weakness, different human characteristics. If we are all the same, we would be robots. Second, saying negative things like this to another person never helps the situation. It might make you feel better, and more powerful, but the truth is it hurts your relationship, it will actually make you feel negative, and it will certainly make the other person feel negative and more like to continue negative behaviour. Everyone is loser.
Solution: Take the mistake or bad behaviour of others as an opportunity to teach, show them how to do something. Second praise them for their behaviour, and encourage their success. Last, the most important, love them for who they are, and calibrate their difference.  
Your work sucks. It’s super lame. You are moron and I hope you never reproduce.
Problem: I have actually gotten this comment before. It feels wonderful. However, let’s look at it not from the perspective of the person receiving this kind of comment but from the perspective of the person giving it. How does saying something negative like this help you? I guess it might feel good to vent if you feel like your time has been wasted. But really, how much of your time has been wasted? A few minutes, A few hours! And whose fault is that? The blogger or yours? In truth, making negative comments just keeps you in negative mindset. It’s also a good way make friends.
Solution: Learn to offer constructive solutions, first of all. Instead of telling someone their blog sucks, of that a post is lame, offer some specific suggestion for improvement. Help them get better. If you are going to take the time to make a comment, make it worth your time. Second, learn to interact with people in a more positive way – it makes others feel good and it make you feel better about yourself. And you can make some great friends this. That’s a good thing.
PHD-IN-COUNSELING-EDUCATION 
Insulting People Back:
Problem: If someone insults you or angers you in some way, insulting them back and continuing your anger only transfer their problem to you. This person was probably having a bad day and took it out on you for some reason. If you reciprocate, you are now having a bad day too.  His u.problem has become yours. Not only that, but the cycle of insults can get worse and worse until it results in violence or other negative consequences – for both of you.
Solution: Let the insults or negative comments of others slide off you like Teflon. Don’t let their problem become yours. In fact, try to understand their problem more – why would someone say something like that? What problems are they going through? Having a little empathy for some not only make you understand that the ir comment is not about you, but make you feel better about yourself in the process.
I don’t think I can do this – I don’t have enough discipline. May be some other time.
Problem: If you don’t think you can do something, you probably won’t. Especially for the big stuff. Discipline has nothing to do with – motivation and focus has everything to do with it. And if you put stuff off for “some other time”, you will never get it done. Negative thinking like this inhibits us from accomplishing anything.

Solution: Turn your thinking around: you can do this! You don’t need discipline. Find ways to make yourself a success at your goal. If you fail, learn from your mistake, and try again. Instead of putting a goal off for later, start now. And focus on one goal at a time, putting all of your energy into it, and getting as much help from other as you can. You can really move mountain if you start with positive thinking.

How to Engage Employees

--> One of today's hot topics is employee engagement.  Here are some excellent business reasons to get everyone working to their full potential: 
An employee's motivation is a direct result of the sum of interactions with his or her manager.Bob Nelson 
We were asked in Jan.2012 by one of our client to take in-depth look at employee engagement and to report on its potential benefits for both company and individual employees. The client encouraged us to examine in particular whether a wider take up of engagement approaches could impact positively.
image-optimization-Dilbert
In the course of last 24 months, we have seen where performances and profitability of the company have been transformed by the employee engagement program. We have witnessed in our studies which show a clear correlation between engagement and performance – and most importantly between improving engagement and improving performance. Today we are putting this practice in more than a dozen clients.
Engagement, going to the heart of the workplace relationship between employee and employer, can be a key to unlocking productivity and to transforming the working lives of many people for whom Monday morning is an especially low point of the week. 
Employee Engagement – What, why and how
How employees behave at work can make the crucial difference between business and operational success or failure along with enough cash, clear strategy is vital.
Engaged organisations have strong and authentic values, with clear evidence of trust and fairness based on mutual respect, where two way promises and commitments – between employers and staff – are understood, and are fulfilled.
What we thought simple at first turned out be tough task. There is not a single  agreed definition of employee engagement – during the course of this review we have come across more than many definitions; many of them rejected and some of them agreed. What we have learned there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach and no master model for successful.
These four enablers of engagement have proved to be useful lenses which can help organisations assess the effectiveness of their approaches.
Despite there being some debate about the precise meaning of employee engagement there are three things we know about it: it is measurable; it can be correlated with performance; and it varies from poor to great. Most importantly employers can do a great deal to impact on people’s level of engagement. That is what makes it so important, as a tool for business success. 
·     There is employee voice throughout the organisations, for reinforcing and challenging views, between functions and externally, employees are seen as central to the solution.
·     A positive attitude held by the employee towards the organisation and its values. An engaged employee is aware of the business context and works with colleagues to improve performance.
·     There is organisational integrity – the values on the wall are reflected in a day  behaviors. There is no ‘say-do’ gap.
·     In particular, engagement is two way; organisations must work to engage the employee who in turn has a choice about the level of engagement to offer the employer. Each reinforces the other.
