Will good changes ever take place?

By Bamboo In The Wind

Most often the change agents are in action and the change is in the offing. The bits and pieces of information that are around and difficulty in assimilation of that information to build a cohesive picture in our mind is the main reason the change is not apparent. But it sure is in the making - slowly but steadily.

Change is a function of influence and manner in which it gets created. Conviction of thoughts, relentless efforts, persuasiveness and ability to listen to alter the course (where it's necessary) are the prime contributors driving the change.

I have realized the quality of judgement is such a personal phenomenon. Judging people, events, situations are so subjective. I have also wondered how all great change agents have consistently possessed this uncanny ability to judge the surroundings where the thought provoking ideas might take root. Over time I have also begun to feel that thought provoking ideas first hit the deaf walls, traverse the unwanted paths and only then they go on the path that seemingly look like the perfect path that led it to success.

This one bit, that to explore constantly and to patiently learn from each exploration to get the distilled residuals are the key aspects that undoubtedly lead to positive change.

And I am beginning to feel bullish and confident that much of what we are witnessing right now is a positive and mass build-up that will lead to a great deal of relief!

Checks and balances!

By Bamboo In The Wind
Defining a good purpose, setting a target goal and getting people working on them is usually not enough! There are too many aspects involved in getting the results we want. For example, there is an aspect of painting the big picture, working on motivation management, productivity tracking, building experimentation labs, and erecting resilient systems that systematize the workflows. Just putting bodies to work and defining milestones rarely achieves the right results. The other aspects that help march towards the milestones in an orderly manner, they are equally important. At the very least, they make objectives widely understandable and results more attainable. The job of a thought leader is to enable progress and enable recovery. Therefore, it is never enough to have just ideas. Those with ideas also have the responsibility to assemble the work environment in such a way as to create situations containing the energy disperses. Energy dispersal from lack of clarity, loss of motivation, ...

The hyacinth at the surface - nectar - just beneath!

By Bamboo In The Wind
The envy of comparison is an unconscious, quietly growing emotion, like water hyacinth spreading unnoticed on a pond's surface. It surrounds the nectar of the water, creating the illusion of poison. The water itself, however, is inherently sweet, with the nectar infused deeply within it. But just cast off the tangled trap of those creeping vines, and the water will reveal its true nature—flowing freely, tirelessly, with a sparkling clarity. Water’s existence, its entire journey, is one of cooperation, of giving endlessly with a pure heart.  Even in the face of numerous obstacles and thorns along its path, water remains undeterred—a divine miracle, no doubt, but one forged through relentless effort. Who notices this journey? Who understands it? Water has no respite—it constantly battles friction and wear. "Why is this thorny life my lot?" It may ask, as feelings of resentment, anger, jealousy, hatred, sorrow, and helplessness arise. Just when it seems trapped, its spirit s...

Liked? Or Respected?

By Bamboo In The Wind
It is easy to bend backwards and accomodate others. When you do so, it is obvious to generate affection that leads to you being likeable. You tend to be always available, seek others' attention more that what your needs are for yourself, or do things to transactionally connect with others. As long as you continue doing what others prefer, you are sure to be liked! And who does not like to liked like that! People pleasing acts have huge downsides. It is different when you set boundaries, take a principled stand about when do you indulge with collaborative activity involving others and when you focus on your priorities. Principles drive energies, brings rigor and sets responsibilities. It is governed with consistency and you come across that uniform, thought and consistent in any and every situation as against preferential. Obviously, principled person is hard to pierce into. When you do, you will discover rythem of clear communication, prioritisation, importance of building long-ter...
