Living your dream

The biggest challenge of a visionary like you is probably to live the dreams and transform them into action.

What do you need to do so that your dreams can be seen, heard, touched and live a footprint in the universe?

• Of course, first thing is to have a dream, which must be something that even though is unreachable today is still possible. Maybe lots of effort is needed…
• Then you have to awake, that is, to put your dream into reality, to transform the intangible thoughts into tangible actions or at least a plan…
• …Because another step is to discern a pathway for the dream to come true.
• Now you must walk the designed path, making a step by step process towards your dream.
• At the same, you need to empower yourself, after all, when a dream comes true it changes your reality and you need power to face the obstacles that come with it.
• From time to time, check where you are and correct the path if that is necessary.
• One day, you will see your dream in the reality of your life. Celebrate and help others to reach their dreams too.

This post is a humble homage to Prajapita Brahma, who is my subtle mentor and whose day I celebrate today.

Every day is a holiday - Reason 34

Oh, yes, a leader works, and works hard.  But he or she knows how to celebrate too as it refreshes the leader and helps to trigger more creative ideas.

Normal people seem to love to queue eternally in airports or in unending traffic jams to take a holiday and to escape their normal lives once or twice a year.  We are not saying leaders don’t go through that, but it isn’t with the intention of ‘escaping’, because each day is her or his ‘holiday’.

Every day there is a triumph to be accomplished.  Everyday there is a moment when you, a leader, experience victory, and then it is time for celebration, a little daily holiday.

A celebration can be to make time to sit on a nice park bench on a sunny day, to enjoy a tasty mango or to read a book that has nothing to do with job, because a leader has no particular day put to one side to enjoy life’s pleasures.
