In search of the right track!

There is no such thing as a right track. We are always in a way that we are on. Why are we constantly searching for whether we are on the right track!

Well,  there are a few reasons for it.

We don't listen to our own inner self. We are eager to get swayed by what others think of us instead of what our inner self signals us.

Learning to listen to our inner self might open us to what we really want and what we are missing that we would like to work on.

For the track we are on the make sense, we have to build the right surrounding that allows our best inner self to express itself.

Unless there is an opportunity for us to express our inner selves, we cannot see the influence of what matters to us.

Another thing that matters for the track we are on is to trust ourselves. Trusting makes us feel like expressing, sharing, and giving. 

We do so with much more confidence that we come from a place of positive contribution. Such confidence enhances the value of the track we embarked on.

For the track to be valuable, we need to know fully well that it is perfectly ok to change our minds. We have to explore, alter, abandon, and adopt things we pursue while still being on track we are on.

More vitally, the search for the right track begins when we get going!

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. 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.
