Unstuck.

By Bamboo In The Wind
Have you run out of ways to try? Do you feel held back, or stuck? Feel a huge burden that you are going to miss the boat and there is no one who cares about your situation. That feeling is the worst nightmare.

Our urge to be self-sufficient can resist us from reaching out for help. This is usually because it might make us look weaker, and dependent.

Asking for help is a great way out however less futile it appears. When we ask for help, it triggers a conversation about what's on our minds. It's a process of redirecting our thought from what looks impossible and turning them into possibilities. It has the effect of clouding judgments that prohibit us from making movement. Look at what happens we go to Gym, go for a run, or are at the workplace. We effortlessly strike conversations that aid in loosening us up giving us ways to think a bit more freely.

We tend to take ourselves and our abilities a little too seriously. When we are stuck asking for help isn't a weakness. It's a sign of being to open the possibility of failing to ask the next best person for support in dealing with our personal or work situations.

We underestimate the power of collaboration and human nature to depend on each other has the power to create an environment conducive to progress. We simply need to be open to asking for help.

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, ...

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...

Own it!

By Bamboo In The Wind
Owning is an act of proactive work.  You own through willingness and willingness emerges as a result of feeling the sense of belonging. Initiative helps define baby steps that gives you access to responsibility. Responsibility allows you to take actions that give you the power to influence but never control the outcomes. However, this act of taking baby steps eventually lets us be owners - of our own decisions. Owning vital responsibility usually results in desired results and happiness for yourselves or owning responsibility can sometimes mean taking an arduous endless path to make those around you happy. The best you can do is to own your decisions and accept the outcomes you get.
