Interactions that are remembered!

When you are with others, what you remember is the cordial interactions. This is true when interactions reflect genuine care and concern.

Interactions that directly touch on your well-being, what you do, where you are from, and what your interests and beliefs are, what they can do to help you. All such interactions tend to be fulfilling.

They try to understand you at your core. Not be judgemental. Not trying to look at you superficially. 

The generosity of offering others your attention is a gracious act. It comes from the confidence of having abundance and feeling secure about yourself.

On the flip side? You think if you offer yourself too much, you are getting emptied out to your detriment. The gripping fear that you are deprived of focus, priorities, and the fear of falling behind makes you act stingy.

You think concessions and the money will save you focus and keep you on track. Often it's not what the others really want. It is also not something that you want.

Everyone is just looking to have rich interactions. Interactions are excellent interventions in your productive spells. They help you feel energized. They are focus generators!

If playing a short-term personal game is your priority, it can come back to haunt you. A short-term and immediacy of outlook can turn out to be transactional in the end, although it may not seem like that.

If you ever intend to build some momentum in something that matters to you, it is best to overcome feelings of scarcity and insecurity. You are your best when they are absent. 

Generocity enriches interactions. You have to feel like you have abundant to share. Even when you don't!

Checks and balances!

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?

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!

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.

The best you can do is to own your decisions and accept the outcomes you get.
