Corporate Sufi Tips
What is Life?
Life is an experience to cherish,
A fleeting moment to savor;
Life is a journey to eternity,
A blessing to be part of;
Life is a voyage to be charted,
A path to create for others;
Life, with all its twists and turns, is long and complex,
Yet it is as short as the blinking of the eyes;
Life seeps by, while we wait for the perfect moment,
Little do we realize that every moment is perfect;
That it is in the being, not in the doing, that life is lived;
Life, above all, is an opportunity to give and make a difference,
By so doing, experiencing the joy and bounty of giving!
Happy living!!
Execution
Without execution all your goals and plans don't lead to much.
There are many reasons you can find not to execute:
- don't feel like it
- too many things to do
- my hockey/football/ soccer team didn't do too well
- will attend to later
- waiting for someone's feedback or need approval
- waiting for the perfect time.
However, once you decide to execute and move forward things begin to happen.
Perfection slows you down. Striving for excellence is fine but not perfection.
Waiting for 100% information is not optimal. Once you have more than 80% information it maybe time to consider moving forward.
And when it comes to giving matters the time is always right to do the right thing. Now is the time to execute!
What are you waiting for?
It is about them, not about you!
I did a speech this week and someone commented he liked what he heard. I said thank you and asked him what did he specifically liked about what he heard? He could not come up with anything specific which made me think that perhaps I was not as effective. Then he said something which startled me. He said you came across genuine; most of the speakers I have listened to are so full of themselves!!
I know that I have been guilty of being too full of myself, and I was happy that I was not during this speech.
True giving comes when you forget yourself in the service of others.
Hey, it is not about you, it is about them!
How about you?
Do you make it about them or about you in whatever you do?
Seasons of Life
There is a time for joy and time for sadness; a time for victory and time for defeat; a time for growth and time for shrinkage.
A time of sadness brings one close to the recesses of their soul; in defeat a lesson to learn which otherwise you would not; in shrinkage a time to reflect.
No matter which season of life greets you, there is a sense of peace and serenity in you. And at every turn of the cycle, be it up, be it down, be it sideways, you find something to give - whether it is your time, wisdom or energy.
When you give, you feel blessed and you are inclined to focus on what is working for you, no matter how little it may seem.
Do you get ruffled when you are facing a time of sadness, defeat or shrinkage? Do you find things to give be it your time, wisdom or energy when the chips are down?
