Courage is willingness to take the risk once you know the odds. Optimistic overconfidence means you are taking the risk because you don’t know the odds. It’s a big difference. Daniel Kahneman
It got me thinking 🤔
What is courage?
Is it about a dare
To do, to execute
To be, to explore
To experiment or experience
The yet unknown
What is the root of courage?
Where does it stem from?
From fear to fearlessness
From doubt to determination
From confusion to confidence
From uncertainty to certainty
To confront at all costs
What are your thoughts on Courage
Sometimes I feel whenever life through you out to dare without option of retreat
This is the story of Cara Khan whose sense of spirit & adventure made her dare the seemingly impossible …
Cara E. Yar Khan is an international human rights advocate promoting the inclusion of people with disabilities within all facets of society.
Thank you my dear friend Ali Anani, for it was you who shared the above Ted talk link and suggested I share a few thoughts on her.
I dedicate these following verses to her daring spirit and dancing soul!
Life is
Inexplicable uncertainty in the now
Undefinable strength in the moment
Unimaginable challenges that arise
Infinite possibilities in the potential
Unstoppable hope in the living
Be it in strength or inspite of weakness
No matter the threats or unexpected opportunities
Life shapes and moulds in experience
Be it the desires, wants or needs
Life is a journey unto itself
Life is a circle in the living.
In salute to the very courageous Cara E. Yar Khan Her inspirational life story is an epitome of the magic of living a bigger bolder and yet a purpose driven life, In her I see the verve, and enthusiasm in pursuit of her Passions and her drive towards her Purpose as much as the Perseverance to attain it. And when these 3 Ps combine, success is bound to manifest itself. What matters is that she ignored what was preposterous and dared to dream.
Ignore the naysayers You have one life Live it well Give it the best you have got!
Keep the faith in trust and self belief Let go of illusions of less in assumptions You have everything you need within you In daring beyond doubts &fear Living life lovingly!
Truly nothing is insurmountable There is in you, the power That manifests when you need it most You may not know the strength And capabilities that you are carrying. But it is always there with you Simply trust in yourself To be there for you! You are more than enough for you!
I turn to self reflection and solitude walking in contemplative introspection, when I need to rebalance and align myself , as in doing so I am able to understand and reconsider how difficult it has been, given the circumstances and I comfort myself by acknowledging that I have done my best.
I am grateful for this ability to write and paint my heart away, and express myself through arts, just as much as being kinder and compassionate with myself. For in every such moment, I am learning to be a better me.
I also find great solace in meditative movements and soulful dancing that help me bounce back to normalcy.
As an employer, recruiting the right people for the job is extremely crucial for a successful recruitment.
While hiring Your degrees may not matter that much As much as… Your integrity, sense of ownership and dedication at work. Yes, the employers are seeking all of you, beyond the certifications Your drive, your ability & your commitment Is visible in all that you say & do.
For it truly does not matter where you come from or what you know, What matters is what you do with what you know.
Build the self to be aware, empathic and emotionally intelligent beyond your degrees and specialization.
For even if degrees get you the job It is your ability & adaptability that keeps you there.
Sail through life
Steering away from density
Be in the moment.
Live fully.
Rest easy sleep well
Be generous be mindful
Let your moves be wise
Choose well.
Be safe than sorry!
Let your boat of life be light
Burden it not by overloading
For it gets difficult to carry
The weight of your burdens
Be light and sail on
In the lightness of being.
The only bird that dares to peck an eagle is the crow. He sits on his back and bites his neck. The eagle does not respond, nor fight with the crow. It does not spend time or energy on the crow.
It just opens its wings and begins to rise higher in the heavens. The higher the flight, the harder it is for the crow to breathe and then the crow falls due to lack of oxygen.
Learn from the eagle and don’t fight the crows. Just keep ascending. They might be along for the ride, but they’ll fall off.
