Freedom Of WORK


I wish we all thought about – the “freedom of work”. Yes, Work!

I am sure all of us would want to spend most of our time doing something worthwhile. Of course the definition of “worth” would mean different to different people like money, fame, passion, etc. However, what I fail to understand here is a simple fact that, when we have so many different perceptions about work; why can’t we just step out to express and fulfil them in our own ways. Why do we have to feel so compelled in doing something that does not motivate us in a right sense that we want. May that be due to lack of opportunities, external pressures or at times due to our own prejudices and fear of being jobless, we all do get trapped in believing that the work that we have in our hand is a limitation or rather a helpless choice.

But can’t we do something about it. Why don’t we come out bold to express and live our freedom of work and be true to the driving factor that we get from it?

I am sure all of us would say- “Given a choice, why not?” But who said you are choice-less? Circumstances and responsibilities are not our bondage. And let’s understand that we cannot live up to them happily if we are halfhearted all the time.

It is tough to discover the true calling within us. But that should not stop us from trying it. There is no meaning in getting caught up in something that is merely an 8 hours routine and not our identity. Yes, Work is our identity and compromising on it would be a biggest regret of our lives. And moreover it is worth spending the time and effort in carving that identity in our lives. It is advisable that we take a brave step of embracing stress, trouble and numerous challenges for a stint while we are on that quest than spend whole of our lives in displeasure.

Job is nothing more than a choice and we all must spend some time in thinking how do we want to spend those 8 crucial hours of each day of our lives. We all must strive to live and enjoy the work we do and make it our identity.

Come on; let’s express our freedom of work.
We are free, and it is just a choice away…

Adapt to Change

Experience is the best teacher. We all learn through our experiences. We grow by experimenting with our ideas and exploring new insights from them. Whether it is about dealing with people, making a career move, or taking up an investment option, our assumptions are often challenged by the test of reality. People, who understand these nuances fast, learn from them and grow faster, whereas others, who struggle to get out of their prejudices, remain lost. It’s important to keep learning from our trials and picking up our lessons. Life is long enough to get another chance to do it better.  So, is true with businesses, it’s important to keep adapting to the changing environment. Variability can be managed if they are predictable. But, at times things go out of one’s horizon of thinking and clarity. When things go out of order, it’s important to be stable, introspect and take corrective actions. The more you accept reality the more you will widen your perception towards things. It is wis...

The secret of good communication!

Communication has a lot to do with our attitude. This thought struck me while pondering over the subject of effective communication with one of my teammates. It is essentially true that effective communication goes beyond the dynamics of language and talking well with people. The essence of it lies in getting, What, How, and When to convey a message right. And this reflects the maturity of a person. We often tend to focus only on factors like vocabulary, confidence, public speaking, and the accuracy of the language. But along with these factors, one also requires sensibility to analyze the situation and respond to it appropriately. Keeping the outcome in mind is the key to successful communication. It all goes well if we communicated in the best interest of the situation we get in. The leaders who drive work well are the ones who can communicate with others with empathy. Putting oneself in other's shoes is the best way to rationalize other's viewpoints. Somebody could be in pai...

Be Real

Image
  Gold does not worry about protecting its glitter, Shine is its inherent nature. Something that makes it unique & worthy. It knows that its strength lies in its purity.   Many who emulate it are well in its sight, But it is unshackled with their attempts to look bright. As no matter how much they pretend to shine, The truth prevails that their lustre is sublime.   Insecurity dwells in the pretext of a self-proclaimed glory, Fake propositions do not earn a success story. Genuineness is never in search of visibility, For confidence lies in being aware of one’s ability.   Needs and utilities will evolve with time, What’s significant today may tomorrow turn futile. What matters is how far have you been able to rise, Craving for adulations will only make you fragile.   What’s unreal will eventually fade away, And that what remains will find its way. More than your glitter, what’s important is your endeavour, Your str...
