What if changing your way of thinking could change your life? In today's ever-changing world, success is no longer just about skills or knowledge, it's about mindset. The reality is, that most people are completely unaware of the power of their thoughts. They go through life, reacting to events that unfold around them, with no attention to their thoughts' role in shaping their experience. Quit saying, “That's just who I am” One of the most disempowering things you can do is to tell yourself that you're just a certain way and that cannot change. #getitright #mindset https://lnkd.in/dXciu3qN

2023 was known for many “interesting” occurrences. There were several international crises that have humanitarian implications and it made me think that we, as a global society, need to do more to protect our God-given earth from such atrocities. I recently read something from Ryan Holiday in “The Daily Stoic” that resonated with me and if each person does this daily the world will definitely be a better and more beautiful place: Seven clear functions of the mind: 1. Choice - to do and think right. 2. Refusal - of temptation. 3. Yearning - to be better. 4. Repulsion- of negativity, or bad influences, of what isn’t true. 5. Preparation - for what lies ahead or whatever may happen. 6. Purpose - our guiding principle and highest priority. 7. Assent - to be free of deception about what’s inside and outside our control (and be ready to accept the latter). This could be a great guide and if everyone does this daily we will certainly see results. May we make the world a better place by daily incremental improvement.

Secret 1: Believe in the Big: Let’s enter our pursuit of equilibrium in a wild way. Let’s peek out the window and imagine great things coming our way.

Leading Uncertainty: Navigating Diverse Landscapes 🌍 In a world where uncertainty takes the lead, I consistently stress the golden rule for organizations: Strategic and operational approaches must adapt to the specific context. This principle is especially vital in complex, fragile, or volatile territories. I've captured these insights in videos 🎥 that showcase the stark contrasts in contexts, serving as a reminder for myself and others. These recordings shed light on the diverse landscapes of the global north and south, illustrating how they intricately shape readiness, response, and recovery efforts. Recognizing the subtle or invisible differences between contexts demands more than just a surface understanding; it requires specific expertise and pooling of our collective knowledge. Uncovering the nuances and navigating uncertainties effectively is heavily needed when the world keeps rapidly changing... #LeadingUncertainty #Adaptability #GlobalAwareness #StrategicApproaches #NavigatingChange #ExpertiseMatters #Resilience #volatility #globalsouth #globalnorth

Reflecting on a challenging chapter from the narrative of our past, we revisit a time when the weight of adversity felt insurmountable, casting shadows that seemed to stretch endlessly. Yet, in the rearview mirror of hindsight, we now perceive that experience through a lens colored not by despair, but by resilience and growth. As we sift through the debris of that challenging period, we unearth the invaluable lessons it bestowed upon us. We learned that resilience is not merely the ability to endure hardships, but the capacity to rise stronger and more fortified from their depths. It taught us the art of adaptability, showing us that flexibility in the face of adversity is not a sign of weakness, but of strength. In navigating through that tumultuous terrain, we discovered reservoirs of inner strength we never knew we possessed, and a resilience that enabled us to weather storms we once deemed unsurvivable. We learned that even in the darkest of moments, there exists a glimmer of hope, a beacon of light guiding us forward. Looking back, we realize that every trial and tribulation was a thread woven into the tapestry of our growth, shaping us into the people we are today. It taught us to embrace the ebb and flow of life, to find beauty in the brokenness, and to trust in our ability to navigate through even the most turbulent waters. So, as we pen down these reflections, we do so with hearts overflowing with gratitude for the challenges that tested our mettle and the resilience and adaptability they instilled within us. For it is through adversity that we unearth the diamonds hidden within the rough, and emerge from the crucible of hardship, forged anew. #ReflectionsOfResilience #NavigatingAdversity #LessonsLearned #EmbracingChallenges #StrengthThroughStruggle #AdaptAndGrow #GratitudeInAdversity #FindingBeautyInBrokenness #JourneyOfGrowth #ResilientTogether
