P + P = Possibilities Unlimited ..


Hi Team,

There are two things that are crucial to take YOU and any team forward.
The first thing is to understand how crucial you are to the team. How your presence and absence impacts the overall functioning of the team. How you coming a mere 20 mins late takes the productivity of 20 mins x 5 people making it 100 mins. Taking the overall unproductivity of the team to over an hour and a half of sheer time-waste.

I’m sure you are curious as to the 2 P’s by now. 2 P’s that will set off a domino effect in the overall ability to set off a charge. To start a revolution.
Eg - When 2 people begin clapping and the cheer begins to engulf 4 then 8 then 16 and eventually a whole auditorium. The effect of an individual starting something that goes on to touch the collective souls of a million is easily known. The same happens when a whole auditorium is clapping and you hear a gunshot!! Exactly the opposite. Now suddenly everyone is silent.
What will it take to wake everyone up again??
What is required to awaken sound of life, as it is??

The 2 P’s.
1 – Perseverance
2 – Personal Accountability

Perseverance is the feeling, when you wake up and open your eyes to the morning sunshine. Based on your drive and passion – you will either see the brightness of a new chance and new opportunities. Or you can see the mundane routine that fast awaits you. Perseverance is kicking the negativity through your own personal admission to strive for newer and higher levels of success. To take that 1 centimeter while climbing the straight face of a rock climbing expedition. Knowing that you’re atleast that much closer to the top. The shivering of your hands as you get to the 18th push up in a 20 set. The drop of sweat, the bystanders, the critics, the seconds hand on the clock. Everything can distract and distance you from your goal. But if your own determination is strong enough to focus and blank out all the naysayers – then victory is yours. There may not be a standing ovation of cheering fans. But the satisfaction of achieved something. The feeling of self-confidence.

Personal Accountability is the flip-side to any achievement. Because, in every achievement – YOU want to stand up and take credit. But in the times of failure. Personal accountability turns its ugly head into denial and shifting of the blame. Success has many fathers – but out of their own admission. Failure has even more fathers – out of blame and excuses being thrown all over. Sometimes, we even fail to see who and what and why we are blaming others. It’s a crazy frenzy of getting the shadow of doubt, off your back. Its natural – but easily cured. By your own admission. With your own conscience as your witness. Ask yourself – have you really done enough?? Not all that was asked of you. But all that you could do. All that your energies could handle. All that you could dream is possible through your efforts and the support of your team mates.

Personal Accountability drug that makes your perseverance a more potent drug!
Its the spike that makes you try harder and harder – because you realistically can always do more today that you did yesterday.

The goal isn’t far – if you know where to go.

I assure you that I will persevere – I will be accountable.
To myself, before others – I am afterall my biggest critic. With my experiences as testimony – I pledge to move forward. To take us all forward.

Do You>>??

Or
Do you plan to blame the entire universe for its conspiracy against you??
Do you plan to exit and abandon ship when you are most required??
Do you not see a common goal??
Is existing enough??




In it 100%,
Me..
