Power is of two kinds. One is obtained by the fear of punishment and the other by acts of love. Power based on love is a thousand times more effective and permanent then the one derived from fear of punishment. Mahatma Gandhi
It’s easy to get caught up in seeking validation and approval from others, but the truth is that the only person you truly need to impress is yourself.
You are enough, just as you are, and your worth doesn’t depend on the opinions or actions of others. When you recognize your own value and believe in yourself, you can accomplish anything you set your mind to.
Learning to be comfortable in your own skin and trusting in your own abilities can take time, but it’s a journey worth taking.
When you focus on cultivating a positive relationship with yourself, you’ll find that you’re happier, more confident, and better equipped to handle life’s challenges. Remember, you don’t need anyone else’s approval or validation to be happy and fulfilled. You are enough, simply by existing as you are.
It’s common to fall into the trap of seeking validation and approval from others, but the reality is that your self-worth isn’t dependent on the opinions or actions of others. You are enough, and improving yourself from where you are, is the only thing that truly matters. By recognizing your own value and having faith in yourself, you can achieve anything you set your mind to.
Developing a positive relationship with yourself and being comfortable with who you are takes time, but it’s a worthwhile journey.
By prioritizing your own well-being and self-belief, you’ll discover a greater sense of happiness, confidence, and resilience.
Remember that your happiness and fulfillment don’t require external validation or approval.
“To listen entails a fundamental letting go of self-centeredness. We have to be willing to put down our own thoughts, views, and feelings temporarily to truly listen.”
Did I offer peace today? Did I bring a smile to someone’s face? Did I say words of healing? Did I let go of my anger and resentment? Did I forgive? Did I love? These are the real questions. I must trust that the little bit of love that I sow now will bear many fruits, here in this world and the life to come. Henri Nouwen
Came across these words which can serve as a great reminder.
Good thoughts makes way for a good day… Think well.
Creativity thrves in an open minded approach with an ability to trust and try.
To take a chance is to take a step into the unexplored unknown dimensions of potential possibilities.
The creative spirit is replenished in such an atmosphere.The forays into the unknown can be a pure game of chance.
A dare unto beyond that may or may not pay rich dividends. But in those trials and tribulations a creative soul is nurtured. And new paths are created to journey on!
Success is an interesting journey and not a destination The more you sense the bigger picture You lovingly loose yourself in something hat is bigger than yourself… The greater your energy and the closer you are to where you want to be. Success is within each of us waiting for us to make a move towards it.
This tree is uniquely shaped and there is always a reason to be…
There is much in the pattern. With angles that self-balance. Supported in the shaping. To survive the storm. Swaying in the wind. So full of spaces in between To evolve and to grow. With confidence of connection Rooted in a solid foundation. The tree find its own flow Paving the pathway Manifesting its uniqueness. It finds its purpose of being.
Likewise to an organization That grows steadfast in trust In strength of the structure. Spreading its wings in faith
For when the roots are strong And potential is nurtured In valuing the roots In acceptance of the new… There is freedom to expand. With fresh perspective at play Every leader owns an angle towards sustainability. Great leaders may pitch great angles of perspective. But a great team is formed by great people. Like every living part of a tree is significant to the whole tree. Every individual is valuable to the organization. Every perspective matters to the cohesive whole.
A great read by my friend Ali Anani prompted me to write this post.
So much wisdom from nature in every form if we choose to see.
