Nothing in this world is certain. One cannot control everything, no matter how hard you try. Life is unpredictable, and you cannot always be sure of what happens. I had heard these words and thoughts a lot in my life but never truly felt their relevance unless life showed it to me the hard way.

“Life is unpredictable. Always be prepared for the best and the worst.”

Life was going pretty well for me, as I had a supportive family and two beautiful daughters. Just when I thought I’ve settled well and everything has fallen into place, life had something terrible to test me.

Our business faced sudden issues due to unavoidable circumstances. There were bank loans to be repaid, court cases to fight, and many other problems to deal with. When the stress and pressure got too much, my husband could not take it anymore. He committed suicide, leaving me and my daughters alone.

I always loved the idea of a perfect family, and I didn’t know what to do at the moment. I was not ready for what came in front of me. Being a single mother to two young daughters was not easy at that time. 

Life had opened two options in front of me. I could either throw up my hands in despair or stay strong for my daughters and business. As you can see, I decided to choose the latter. 

Was it easy? No. Was it necessary? Yes. 

The Journey of Rebuilding Business

When my husband died, many people were deciding who would take over the business. Everyone was in shock and confused about who will manage the business. Well, women entrepreneurs were not much in this industry. However, I offered to take over the business and handle it. 

Many people were shocked because nobody could put their trust in me. I knew what I was doing, and I trusted my skills. With time, they started seeing my potential and putting their trust in my working style. I knew it wouldn’t be easy to rebuild a failing business. Several court cases were pending, and High Court litigations were followed. So much so that even the staff started leaving. The higher authorities were calling on the behalf of clients, asking for a refund of their money.

I was surrounded by business problems from all directions, but I did not give up. I decided to face each problem with grit and determination.

The biggest challenge for me was to enter a business industry in which I had no experience. I entered a male-dominated corporate world to rebuild my family business. I started with baby steps and learned everything I could about the business. I never hesitated from talking and learning from people above me or below me.

Initially, people would not trust me much and expected I’d leave in a few days. It was very hard for me to gain their trust. They thought I do not have the right experience and qualification to manage this work. Now, I was not only working for the company, but also for gaining the trust of my team. However, soon things started to fall into place. People started trusting my leadership skills, and I gained their respect. Next, I had to work hard to bring our business on track.

I worked hard day and night, fought court cases, and repaid bank loans. Finally, our business was rebuilt. It was back on track with no trace of history left. In the marathon of building a business, the duration and seriousness cannot be predicted. 

One needs to have both the right mind and the right actions to turn chances into life-changing opportunities. When you decide to be a part of the game, consistently present yourself, and work hard each day, success starts to follow. One thing that I was always clear about was my purpose. 

A weak purpose can bring crisis and unhappiness. However, a clear purpose allows you to turn crises into opportunities. When you learn how to change a problem into a solution, half of your work is already done.

In my case, I did the same. I had a clear purpose of rebuilding my business, and I did it. We could now give our business a fresh start, and that’s how the journey of ‘Relaunch’ began.

Relaunch for Better Opportunities

When all our debts were clear, it was time for me to take my business on the journey of reigniting. I had to look for ways and opportunities to make my business a success. I led my team to a non-viable project of making synthetic leather that competes with the Chinese market today. 

Now, it has ventured into the European landscape by making environmentally friendly green leather. Our innovation and hard work helped us do our part in protecting the environment. 

However, all this did not happen overnight. I realized that to run the industry and gain respect, I should be technically sound. I decided to take some overseas trips to learn the production methods, global markets, and how things work. 

Being a mother of two daughters, I had to maintain an optimal work-life balance to ensure a happy and healthy family. Today, my business is flourishing like never before. The business management skills I acquired and used brought all the change.

Life is always unpredictable. If bad things happen to you, good things will also happen. Today, I see many young entrepreneurs giving up after losing money in their first attempt. When life challenges you, you can either show pity to yourself or work hard to overcome those challenges. 

Reignite Each Day and See The Difference

Rebuilding a business is not a one-day task. It takes continuous effort and hard work. You will need plans and tools to reignite your business. Recently, many businesses were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Universal crises are out of your reach, and there is nothing you can do to stop them.

However, giving up your lifetime of hard work to one year of disparity sounds unfair to me. Most of the time, giving up seems an easier option as it does not require courage. But is it worth it? Never.

A business might get boring or might slow down after some time. It needs ignition like other utilities of life. It is not something you can build and leave. You need to improvise and enhance each day.

Being a business coach, I have given many business coaching in top companies. I help entrepreneurs with corporate coaching. I understand the team problems, mind problems, and productivity issues of companies. I believe if all these problems are resolved efficiently, then any business can be rebuilt and relaunched. I help organizations by reigniting the spark in businesses.

No matter in which field of life you are, many unexpected things will happen. Things will not always go the way you plan them to go. Many situations might threaten your well-being, ambition, or your expectations. But if you look carefully, crises also bring opportunities for personal and business advantage.

All you need to know is ‘Why are you doing what you are doing?’ A clear purpose is enough to help you rebuild, relaunch, and reignite your life.

Relationships are not easy today. Relationships were never easy unless people were ready to adjust. Relationships are a mixed bag of ups and downs. Modern relationships are not easy, and there is no doubt about that. 

Today, lifestyles have changed, and so have our relationships. Our lifestyles have drastically changed, and these changes are reflected in every aspect of our living. A direct impact of these lifestyle changes is on our relationships. Being a life coach, many clients come to me with relationship problems. Modern relationships are messy and very difficult to cultivate. Modern relationships don’t last and easily fall apart. People prefer giving up on relationships to resolving conflicts. 

Relationships are a roller-coaster ride. You’re not always up, but also not always down. People do not have the patience to go through the downs of relationships. There are rosy spells in relationships, but there are rough patches also. However, people today prefer breaking up instead of putting in the effort to mend the relationships.

I have come across many clients and witnessed many relationship problems throughout my career. If you’ll know what are the most common relationship problems, you can brace yourself for weathering the storms, big and small. It helps your relationship to survive the tumultuous times without taking a major hit. 

No duration of a relationship declares it to be permanent. I have seen couples coming for counseling even after 20 years of marriage. I remember once a couple came to me for marital counseling. They had been married for 18 years and had two children, 13 and 16 years old. The husband was working in a renowned firm and worked hard to provide his family with all comforts. He had dedicated himself in his career to provide a lavish life to his wife and children. 

His wife worked initially but had to give up her job to look after the kids. She had been a dedicated wife and mother and was absolutely proud of looking after her family. However, she always felt that something was missing in her life. She often felt disconnected from her husband. Over the years, she felt their intimacy, love, and relationship have suffered a slow and steady death. Initially, she would excuse herself by telling her that her husband was working hard for his family and to be a good husband and father.

When she used to tell her husband about how she feels their relationship is stagnating, he would hardly respond. She was open about how she needs more attention, affection, and some couple-time. Her husband would change for a few days but would stick to his routine in a few weeks. He would often get angry about how his wife did not appreciate how hard he worked for his family. She would keep quiet and settle for it. However, after 18 years of marriage, she couldn’t take it anymore. She started feeling resentful and suffocated in that relationship and decided to get a divorce. However, they were asked to try relationship counselling before taking such an extreme step. 

They started counseling and decided to give one more chance to their relationship. It’s been a fulfilling journey for them as all their conflicts were resolved. This year, they celebrated their silver jubilee and feel the same love for each other that they did at the beginning of the relationship. 

What are the most common relationship problems?

Problems in relationships are inevitable. There are so many things going on in one’s life that a lot of problems arise in day-to-day relationships. Work pressure may take a toll on intimacy, or the spark might fizz out. From in-laws getting on your nerves to kids wreaking havoc on your love life, anything and everything can be a trigger to relationships.

Life throws all different types of problems, twists, and turns at you. But, when you’re together, there’s nothing you cannot sort. With time, such complications might start impacting your relationship dynamics. Let us have a look at the most common modern relationship problems.

• Lack of Time

One of the most common modern relationship problems is lack of time for either of the partners. Today’s busy lifestyle and hectic schedule have made everyone overwhelmed with work. People somehow find it hard to manage their personal and professional life well. It creates a time shortage for relationships. Every relationship needs time to grow and build, but when you don’t give enough time to relationships, they start withering. Most clients that come to me often say that their partner has no time for them. When both partners start feeling this way, they start getting distant from one another. For a relationship to sustain, you need to give enough time to your partner.

• Lack of healthy communication

I have counseled many couples in my journey of being a life coach. If there is one problem that every couple has always complained about is lack of communication. In fact, most relationship problems begin with a lack of communication. When you stop talking to your partner, or you stop discussing your concerns and problems with them, a distance is created between you guys. This distance keeps on increasing when neither of you makes the effort of communicating. Today, everyone is independent and arrogant. People avoid talking and making things right. They would rather give up on each other than talk and resolve conflicts.

• Fake Relationship

Well, one thing that is followed by many young people is forming fake relationships. People commit to a relationship with no will of loving or keeping their partner. Such relationships are built based on lies and fakeness. People would often use their partners for their personal desires. These may be sexual, financial, or physical needs. Many times people indulge in fake relationships because of peer pressure or social status.

Many people make a boyfriend or girlfriend just to avoid feeling left out. Such relationships can have a disastrous effect on the partner who was truly committed. Many times, one of the two partners is completely in love, while the other is just passing time. It is the most common modern relationship problem.

• Taking Your Partner For Granted

Another very common modern relationship problem is taking your partner for granted. Many times, when relationships get old, people tend to think that their partner won’t leave them, no matter how they behave. You might start taking the special efforts and actions of your partner for granted. When you have a lot on your plate, you easily fall into the trap of taking each other for granted. For instance, your partner might cook you your favorite meal every day. You’d appreciate it for some time, but soon it’ll become a routine. You’ll start taking the effort for granted without appreciating your partner. It forms a ground for top relationship problems and makes partners drift away from one another.

• Financial Insecurities

Today, couples are financially independent. They do not depend on one another for their money requirements. However, when it comes to spending on common house expenses, conflicts start arising. Everyone wants a partner who is good at spending and saving. You and your partner need to do sound financial planning right at the beginning of your relationship. If you fail to do so, these money issues can become one of the challenges of a relationship. You might suffer from a money shortage or might not agree on the spending styles of each other. In any case, money issues can escalate quickly and pose a problem for your relationship. Money is a crucial aspect of everyone’s life. When you’re a young couple, it might not be a cause of concern. But, when you’re married or plan kids, money matters start creating many problems. You should set short-term and long-term budgets and discuss your savings. It is one such problem that can be resolved easily with some genuine discussions.

• Trust Issues in a Relationship

Trust issues in a relationship are the biggest problems. If even once your trust is broken, you might find it hard to build the same trust again. Most couples that come for relationship counselling have trust issues with their partners. Trust is a big thing, especially in today’s time. If someone puts in their trust in you, then you shouldn’t break that trust. As a couple, not being able to trust each other is one of the fatal modern relationship problems. Lack of trust is not always about cheating or infidelity. It can be a simple incident that you cannot take out of your head. For instance, your partner might have lied to you in the past, and now you find it hard to take their word at face value. When trust starts vanishing from a relationship, it becomes a breeding ground for several problems. If you want to avoid any problems in your bond then you need to be transparent and trustworthy.

• Dividing Duties

It might sound like a small issue to be discussed in relationship problems, but it is a big one in today’s time. Today, both the partners are working, and both give an equal contribution to work and home. It is not the time when women used to handle the home, and husbands would work outside. However, now both partners go to the office and return together after a tiring 9-5 job. You cannot expect one partner to single-handedly manage the entire household chores. It is very essential to divide duties and manage chores in a balanced manner. A war over chores and disagreements are among the most common long-term relationship problems. Just like money issues, agreeing to the distribution of household responsibilities is a simple way to take constant bickering out of the relationship. It should be done from the beginning of a relationship so that it never poses a problem in the future.

• Career Goals

We live in a time where the coming generations are very concerned about their careers. Today, everyone’s priority is to build a life and a personality of their own. In fact, many people do not involve themselves in any relationship to ensure they build a strong career. Moreover, sometimes our life experiences change us. We may have gone through a trauma or a situation you could never get out of. For instance, suppose you both were ambitious and driven when you were young. However, as you started growing as a couple in a relationship, one of you had to take the step of prioritizing personal life. Most women have to leave their work after pregnancy because they have no one to look after their children. It may seem the right decision at that moment, but it somehow creates a sore feeling in my heart. When as a couple you’re not on the same page about life goals, they can drift apart quickly. You should always tell your partner what you’re going through and how your priorities are changing. When you’ll make them see through your perspective, they’ll understand.

• Lack of appreciation

As I said, humans cannot appreciate the same thing for a very long time. However, when it comes to relationships, both partners must appreciate and acknowledge each other’s efforts. One of the biggest problems is comparisons. One partner would often compare their share of efforts with the other partner. They would often say that they are doing more for the relationship. This disagreement forms many problems for the couple. People do not appreciate or compliment their partner for the things that they do daily. Lack of appreciation is among the most normal relationship issues among couples. Well, it is also the easiest to end. You can start taking each other’s good qualities and appreciate them. Instead of mentioning your partner’s weaknesses every time, an appreciative gesture can keep your relationship full of freshness.

• Mismatched sex lives

Sex is an integral part of relationships. If you do not have a happy sex life, then it is really hard to have a happy relationship. Mismatched sex drives are commonplace for modern relationships. It affects both the partners equally. Your sex life might be full of spark and fire initially, but it dulls down with time. As your body goes through myriad changes, it directly affects the sex drive of a person. Many changes occur with all the stress, hormonal imbalances, aging, and other problems. Soon sexual compatibility becomes an issue for couples. There is no doubt that lack of intimacy can make couples distant and disconnected. No matter how old your relationship is, make an effort to carve out time to get intimate with your partner. You may even seek medical help instead of just giving up on the relationship.

• Jealousy Issues

Just like trust issues, jealousy is also like a termite. It might not be visible initially, but it slowly eats your relationship from the inside. Modern relationship problems revolve around emotions like jealousy. A fleeting pang of jealousy if your partner gives a little attention to someone or even if your partner gets some attention from another person is felt. However, if the real emotion of jealousy establishes a grip, it can make any relationship toxic. You’ll start feeling jealous about anyone and everyone around your partner. I have seen people who constantly check their partner’s phone, stalk their social media, follow their location, and pick fights on every small issue. Jealousy affects both partners equally. While the jealous one disrupts their regular life, the other partner’s mental health is affected directly. So, if you feel even a bit jealous, you should talk and sort things out before they turn really critical.

• Over possessive partner

There is nothing worse than dating an over-possessive partner. When you begin a relationship, a little bit of care and possessiveness seems cute. However, when this possessiveness gets too much, you start feeling suffocated. A partner who’s so possessive that they somehow start controlling you is very astonishing. I remember I had a client once who was dealing with such a partner. His husband was very possessive and would always keep a check on her. He would not allow her to talk to male employees, go out with friends, connect with male friends over social media, and whatnot. It started affecting the wife’s mental health badly. He even asked her to leave her job because he caught him having lunch with a group of friends who also had male employees. She had to take counselling to get over the trauma and toxicity of the relationship. 

Relationships are built over trust. If you cannot trust your partner in any way, then the problem lies in you and not them. Everyone deserves freedom and independence. As a couple, you should value each other’s personal space and respect each other’s feelings.

• View about parenthood

One very modern relationship problem that most couples face is parenthood. While one partner is ready to start a family and has kids, the other partner always seems confused. Many times the views about parenthood do not match. Every couple dreams of raising children together but never feels prepared enough to do so. It causes a lot of problems and fights among couples. Moreover being parents is a big decision. When you have children, they take up a lot of space in your life. Many young couples are just not ready to compromise on their dreams and goals so quickly. You can discuss with your families and each other. One should always be sure before taking such decisions. If you force your partner to become a parent when they don’t feel like doing so, you’ll get blamed for the rest of your life. It is better if you mutually take a decision and go ahead.

• Unrealistic Expectations

Most modern relationships break because of unrealistic expectations of either of the partners. Today, people watch movies and serials and believe that love is a fairy tale when in reality it is not. You might expect your partner to bring stars for you, but they won’t. If you’re in a relationship, it is natural to expect certain things from your partner. However, sometimes people set the bar of their expectations unrealistically high. Relationships become a challenge for you where you want to stand perfect and win always. Even if you expect something from your partner, you should express your expectations explicitly. Expecting your partner to guess and deliver your desires will only break your heart. 

• Extra-marital affairs

When relationships live longer, people often start feeling bored with their partner. Committed monogamous relationships are harder to sustain than people think. It is one of the prime reasons why people fall out of marriages. You might feel you’ll find ‘the one’ and live happily ever after with them. Well, it won’t happen. In real life, romantic partners often start getting attracted to other people. If your relationship is monotonous, then the chances are even high. However, you should always be open about your feelings to your partner. When you talk and discuss such issues, your partner will understand. However, keeping them a secret will end the relationship. 

Final Thoughts

Many times we do not even realize our relationship is suffering. People today are too busy in their careers that they take relationships for granted. Life can get overwhelming, and you will always need someone to celebrate your success with. 

We all constantly crave for better things in life – better car, better house, better food, better clothes, better college, better grades and, of course, better phones. Don’t we?

You may have the latest iPhone but the moment you hear of a new iPhone version hitting, suddenly the one in your pockets starts looking oh-so-old (even though  only six-months old). Why? Because it is packed with tons of new features – the latest Snapdragon processor, finger print unlock, 108 megapixel camera with top-notch sensor for those drool-worthy, Instagrammaable photos. Sounds familiar? Well, quite. 

But as humans, do we stay the same all our lives? Do we also try to become better, smarter versions of ourselves? We may have finished our formal education but are we really educated or just about literate? Now, please try to understand it -there is a huge difference between them. What are we humans born with? Are we really learning new things with time?

What exactly defines us humans?

The Chhandogya Upanishada (छांदोग्य उपनिषद) has this beautiful story of a teenager who goes to a gurukul for education and when he returns as a 24-year young adult, he is full of stories of what he learnt there – a whole lot about astrology, economy, statecraft, society and the like. 

But the father is hardly impressed, “But did you learn something more abstract, invisible and untouchable, something you can’t see or feel?”

The father had a story to tell him.

“Let’s say there are two clay pots of different shapes and sizes -one can keep things fresh, while the other one keeps them cold. Now, the most important thing about these pots is the clay they are made of- the essence of clay. But you can’t see or touch or feel that essence but it remains their most important quality.”

Likewise, for us humans, our most significant possession remains our mind. You  certainly can point to your head as the residence of your brain but where is the mind? You can’t see, touch or feel it? Simply because the mind is not a physical entity; rather, it is purely abstract. We are just minds only – our thoughts, attitudes, ideas, beliefs, fears, values, insecurities, dreams and complexes. Our thoughts make us as they drive us towards action. And it is our actions that determine our destiny. Period!

What happens inside this all-powerful “controller” (the mind) decides our plans and their execution. WE are our BELIEFS only. Nothing beyond! Look at the seemingly incredible feet of an amputee (Arunima Sinha) scaling major mountain peaks, which proves what a focused, powerful mind can achieve despite physical odds. So therefore, it is our mind only, which can help us changing ourselves- becoming better or worse versions of ourselves.  We all know of the frail, tiny frog, who reached the top of a pole by outclassing its older, more capable fraternity simply because it didn’t hear and react to others’ taunts (It was deaf, actually!). The winning, deaf frog can hear only its inner voice – to emerge a winner while the rest listen to the onlookers.

Now similarly, we all know about that young baby elephant kept tied with a chain in a circus. It doesn’t succeed in freeing itself; rather, it gets hurt and bleeds and “learns” that it’s not possible. Later, the baby elephant turns into a full-blown adult elephant but the earlier, childhood beliefs stick. It may be strong enough now to break the chain, but it doesn’t even try to because its experiences have drilled into its mind certain beliefs about its own failings.

The result: The elephant will remain tied to the chain all its life! So is true of our perceived drawbacks, inabilities and limitations. Just think of it: How many of them are a result of your childhood conditioning?   

In fact, the blockbuster movie Three Idiots was so full of messages of all kinds. Remember Raju Rastogi? The guy who had no belief in his own talent and is into all sorts of superstitions and mumbo-jumbo.  Now contrast him with Rancho, the cool, supremely confident guy with so much belief in his abilities despite the opposition.  We all know what he was finally achieved vis a vis Raju. Of course, Farhan was clueless about what he wanted from life.

So, if I really want to develop a better myself, first and foremost, I need to appreciate the fact that beyond this body, I am a mind. In fact, our excessive body consciousness is a major obstruction on our way to glory. I need to step aside and look at myself as a mind full of untold potential and ask myself: What do I really want to make out of this life? Only then we can I hope to train my mind in the desired direction. 

And mind you, beliefs can not only change your life but can also create impact on others around you. There is this fancy name for the phenomenon – Collective Consciousness, which I have also used with my team to great effect.

 Regarding human mind, I am reminded of certain people for whom the glass is always “half-full”. These half- full glasses always look at the stars and never let the twinkle in their eyes become dim. They may be up against a rock, with not even a distant hope in sight, but they always remain full – of hope, optimism, positivity and enthusiasm. Now, can you think of some such well-known people –the  “incorrigible optimists”?

You can think of people like Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Mikhail Gorbachev, Helen Keller and Bangari Mathai- all of them fit this definition perfectly well. They were all so full of – optimism, openness to future, sense of responsibility and impeccable integrity. In more recent history, we saw an amputee Arunima Sinha do something virtually inconceivable- climb the Everest. Now the very thought of doing so can send shivers down the spine of a lesser mortal but then it’s a different stuff such heroes are made of. She, too, could have wallowed in self-pity or ended her life the way many others in similar situations do. But her innate optimism did the trick for her. A word of caution here. Being optimistic does not mean that one never has a bad day or a bad mood. Rather, it implies a constant sense of hope, even in the middle of great odds. It reminds me of John Milton, who wrote his best works after having gone blind. In his classic Paradise Lost, he says that our mind is its own place and it has got the power to create a Hell in a Heaven or a Heaven in a Hell. Such is the powerful human mind!   

These qualities really made them the kind of humans they were. But on the flip side, you have pessimistic, rigid, dishonest and irresponsible people. So it all boils down to – where do I want to see myself in future? The answer to this one is the key to the path your life will take.

Openness: Being open-minded is the golden gate to optimism. With an open mind, I can explore many more possibilities and avenues, which show me some light at the end of the tunnel. It ultimately makes me more positive and hopeful about my future. Here’s a case in point. You may have heard of a Mumbai builder Suraj Parmar, who ended his life simply because some politicians and government officers were harassing him. He had (hold your breath!) Rs. 3000 crore lying in his bank account. And ironically, he won the legal case after his death! And the Coffee Cafe Day founder VG Sidharth’s case is still fresh in our memory. His suicide note talks of financial difficulties and harassment at the hands of government officials.  Now, think of it for a while.

Do you genuinely think they had nothing left in the world to offer even a small glimmer of hope? Did they lack enough resources for a decent life? Couldn’t they think of better alternatives to solve their problems?

Let me come to my personal story. I have been privy to quite a similar case, that of my husband, who committed suicide. And the reasons were pretty much the same- loans amounting to Rs. 60 crore, stalling of his building project, hundreds of court cases and harassment by government officials. In retrospect, I believe it was his belief system only that propelled him to a  point where he began thinking that his world was crashing and there was no hope left. Had there been someone around when he gave into the suicidal impulse, he or she could have convinced him of the futility of his beliefs. And I am not saying so without reason. Look, if I, a homemaker and an absolute newcomer to this male-dominated business world, could successfully rebuild the business, repay our creditors and tackle the numerous court cases, in comparison, he was much more capable and experienced than I am. Just think of the potential possibilities he could have visualized for his business, only if he had the right beliefs ruling his mind.           

Our beliefs make us, our dreams, goals, achievements and therefore, our life itself! A very interesting thing is that our beliefs can change and there is only one person who can change them – look into the mirror and you’ll see that person. Yes, you heard it right! You HAVE the power to change your beliefs, and therefore your life. In fact, we all change with time. Think of it, are you the same fellow, who you were, say 10 years ago? Certainly not! As humans, we may be born “genetically blessed” or “jinxed”, but we  constantly interact with our environment and the people out there. And it is these interactions that shape and train us continuously- every single moment. Rather, I would say if you haven’t cultivated a new belief or haven’t shed an old one in the past 10 years, check your pulse. You may be dead!   

As a child, I used to place great stock in a loving family. I remember, I had read a novel wherein the sick protagonist walks out on his wife and children and how they suffer as a result. Therefore, a loving husband and a happy family remained my priorities for long. In fact, I can recall telling my university friends about it, who would simply laugh. Their reaction was a given, considering that I was a gold medallist in my LLB and LLM classes. But I had a certain dreams of having a caring, loving husband and a small, happy family and that’s what I created. 

But the tragedy made me change my belief system. I consciously decided to shed a particular belief and replace it with another belief. Yes, you can do that. You can change the way you think! In fact, you can choose the thoughts you’d like to enter or leave your mind. It’s entirely up to you.  And I did that. Quite successfuly! I trained my mind to think in terms of “A lion needs no company”. And now, I longer missed my family and didn’t wallow in self-pity like – Oh! Am so lonely. Were I so inclined, I couldn’t have evolved a better version of myself.      

As a kid, I had a great stage fear; my legs would begin to tremble. But my college hostel stay during class XI brought another problem – inability to speak English fluently like my classmates. Books proved to be a messiah for me in those troubled days.  All The World Is My stage – Well, reading this one drove away all my fears, insecurities and phobias. Here too, a conscious and deliberate change of thought had done the trick. So I could see all my thoughts about inferior complex, being a small towner, having problems with English- they vanished in a second and I could see a newer, better myself – more confident and ready to take on the world. 

 My husband’s suicide taught me an extremely important life lesson- of minding my mind. No matter how wealthy and healthy or physically fit you are, a badly or poorly trained mind can undo everything. The tragedy  hammered into my mind the supreme role of a healthy, strong, right-thinking mind for a successful, productive life. Again, I consciously trained my mind in this direction – and helped not only myself and my kids do so but also thousands of other people and brought a positive change in my own and their lives.     

My love affair with books went on. And I must say they have played quite a part in my life. And now I have a strong conviction – that humans have unlimited potential. But unfortunately, our beliefs are a limiting factor in what we are actually able to achieve. I hope you remember the British athlete Roger Bannister, who became the first one to finish the mile race in less than 4 minutes in 1954. Before he did it, there was a widespread (but erroneous) belief that a sub-4 minute mile race was physiologically impossible i.e. the human body was not made for it. But Roger, a neurologist himself, challenged the notion and smashed that mental barrier forever. His record remained a record for just 46 days because soon, there was a long galaxy of athletes smashing his mile race record. Back home, there was a long-held belief a double century in an ODI was impossible. But Sachin Tendulkar did that and made history!

In the process of my personal evolution, the most important lesson I learnt during my entrepreneurial journey was – my team is everything. Like the Ethiopian saying goes – if tiny spiders work together, they can tame a lion. I adopted a teacher’s role everywhere. And today, my team is my biggest strength. We are what we are only due to our team. I learnt to appreciate the pivotal role they played in not only turning a misfortune into a fortune but also successfully coming up with a new, 70% biodegradable product (in replaced chemicals). So come what may, hope is the eternal flame that needs to light up our path through the toughest phases of life.

Charlie Chaplin’s case is an excellent example of how hope can give a fresh life to a suicidal man. His mother’s soothing words became the beacon of hope for him and look, where he finally ended up! Likewise, Beethoeven, the great musical genius, felt quite depressed and wanted to end his life. But a noble soul inspired him to create his great classic Ode To Joy. But possibly the greatest example of modern times is Nelson Mandela’s, who had launched a struggle against the then prevalent racial discrimination (apartheid) and was put in the Robbin Island jail for 27 years by the white-led South African government. But look at the man who never lost hope through those trying times and finally succeeded! And to top it, he didn’t have even an iota of rancour or ill-will against his captors. Such grace and forgiveness! 

Rosa Parks, the gritty American woman activist, whose struggle triggered a civil rights movement in 1950s and brought about racial equality in public life, was equally driven by her beliefs. Similarly, the Padman i.e.  Arunachalam Muruganantham, who invented a low-cost sanitary pad vending machine, was motivated by a strong personal belief to improve the lives of poor women. And lastly, the Milk Man of India Dr. Verghese Kurien, who brought about the Milk Revolution in India and helped it become the number one milk producer globally. His belief in his ideas and a desire to improve the farmers’ incomes were critical to his success.

Such is the power of human beliefs! I can vouch for it – If I could transform myself from a homemaker into a successful entrepreneur, it’s only because of my changed belief system. Your beliefs can let you climb those dream heights. So challenge yourself constantly, come out of that comfort zone, break those mental barriers and make history!

There are many life-transformation stories of people where you can feel how life changes in no time. When we look around us, everyone is fighting a battle. Everyone wants to become a better version of themselves. However, to transform lives, you need courage and determination. 

Transform your life using positive and motivating words, imagination, action, and visualization. These elements can make dramatic changes in your life. They will encourage you to move forward, to move in a specific direction, and to make changes in your world. Inspiration is one of the most important keys to self-improvement. It is the drive to achieve your goals and transform your life. Many people get motivated for a few days and forget it in a few days. It is inspiration that comes from the inside. When you’re inspired, you will go ahead and not look back. I believe it takes 21 days of consistency to turn a motivation into inspiration.

To transform your life, you need to take action; taking the right action is the first step. When you take action, you set the wheels in motion so that your subconscious thoughts and your desires start co-existing with your conscious thoughts and desires. With this process, you are in direct control of how you want to transform your life into a better life. In other words, Inspiration is the key to taking action.

Motivation is a practical manual that helps people transform their lives into better and meaningful lives. Motivation motivates you to make positive changes in your personal life, career, education, health, romance, family, friends, home, and many other aspects of your daily life. In other words, if you want to transform your life and achieve your goals, motivation is essential for you to succeed.

Inspiration comes from the self-worth that you feel about yourself. The idea behind this new method of achieving success is that if you have high self-worth, then you will be motivated to make positive changes in your life. You will be more willing to take action, plan new methods of achieving success, acquire new skills, learn new skills, and pursue a new course of action. In other words, high self-worth will give you new energy towards life, which will motivate you to do great things in your life. High self-worth is necessary because if you have low self-worth, then you will always be worried about things and will have no confidence in achieving your goals.

Life coaching can also play a crucial role in transforming life. We all look for someone to be on our side when we feel low or stressed. A life coach can be a big help and motivator for anyone who wants to transform his or her life. If you look back, you’ll see many great personalities mention how their coach and counsellor helped them become what they are today. So, if you wish to bring some change in your life, remember, a life coach is always there to help and support you.

A Life Transformation Story of Sheer Hard Work

Before a young, tall, and dashing man became the superstar of the millennium, Amitabh Bachchan had to face his set of struggles. He went through a lot of challenges physically and financially. These hardships could easily break a person, but he managed to stay strong. 

The man himself has such an inspiring life transformation story for young people. For anyone who is struggling in life and wants to achieve something great, Amitabh Bachchan should be your role model.

Known for his good height and strong voice, Amitabh Bachchan faced a lot of rejections, specifically because of these two qualities. Movie makers would reject him because he was too tall to be cast at that time. 

All India Radio also rejected Amitabh because they felt his voice was too heavy for a radio jockey. He completely broke and decided to quit his dreams. But life had some other plans for him. Before he could quit, he got his first break in Bollywood n the movie Saat Hindustani. He even won a national award for the film. However, even after that, he could not attract many roles. It was after a struggle of two years that he got a role in Anand and Zanjeer. These two movies completely transformed his life.

Life is never easy and always unpredictable. As Amitabh Bachchan was climbing the ladders of success, Big B met an accident on the sets of Coolie. The accident was so severe that everyone thought this might be the end of Amitabh Bachchan.

However, a born survivor, he recovered quickly and started working in movies again. He became the richest actor in India and a role model to many. However, this was not the end of his problems. At the age of 58, he faced a major downfall. His early 2000 movies were not doing very well, and most of them flopped at the box office. He lost most of his earnings and was not getting movies anymore.

He did not lose hope and worked hard instead of giving up. He received a call for hosting “Kaun Banega Crorepati.” His wife Jaya suggested to him that it will not be good for a silver screen star to host a TV show. Amitabh Bachchan replied to her, “beggars can’t be choosers”.

He was even quoted saying, “Bad luck can either destroy you or reveal the person you are.” It was through his hard work and dedication that he was able to rise above all the rejections to transform his life.

The secret of transforming your life is through a systematic application of new methods and actions. A practical manual will help you to transform your life by motivating you to make and stick to decisions that will positively transform your life. It will assist you to create a plan of action and also help you to stay committed to it. Motivation will motivate you to accept small challenges that come along your way to transform your life into the life you desire. Finally, motivation is the key to transformational change.

You might think of some disadvantages of implementing the new transformation techniques. For instance, you could never become proficient at new skills until you are willing to take action. Also, taking action could take some time, especially for those who lack patience. However, the results of this effort would transform your life. By following the steps provided in this practical manual, you could never fail to transform your life.

10 Ways of Transforming Your Habits

• Create a morning ritual – One of my favorite sayings is, ‘action speaks louder than words’. So why not create a morning ritual that will make you feel like you are truly on the move towards greatness? A great way to start is to walk to your door, check the newspaper for the top stories of the day, and then, once you get into bed, switch the radio on and tell yourself that tomorrow is another day to live your life to the fullest. What better way to start the day than by telling yourself that tomorrow is going to be another day to live? It may sound simplistic, but for many who find themselves stuck in a rut, this can be a powerful habit to transform a life into something more out of their control.

• Read, Read and Read – If you want to improve on your concentration and focus, then you should read a lot. Reading a lot of books will help you in more ways than you can imagine. Many people may think that reading a lot means you have to be an avid reader, but you do not have to be an avid reader to benefit from reading a lot. All you have to do is invest a little bit of time to read and reap the benefits. 

• Learn to single-task – There are a few tips that you can apply to daily life that will allow you to achieve your goals more easily, even when you’re surrounded by people and tasks.

Did you know that by mastering a single-tasking technique you can improve your focus and effectiveness by up to 15%?

 It’s true, and in today’s hectic society there’s absolutely no reason for you not to be able to do the things you need to do with fewer distractions. The way this works is that by dividing large tasks into a series of small tasks, you’re reducing the amount of mental clutter that can clutter your mind and make it difficult to get work done. The best way to do this is to break large tasks down into a series of specific and easily managed tasks.

• Appreciate more – For those of us who are chronically stuck in a rut, or at least feel like we are constantly doing the same thing each day, it is often necessary to look for ways to appreciate more. There are two possible responses to this request. You could either decide to do something different every day, or you could resolve to change just one thing – perhaps to increase your appreciation for the good things that happen to you and focus on feeling gratitude for them. One way to make this decision easier is to look at boredom as the main obstacle to improvement.

• Surround yourself with positive people – Surround yourself with positive people who will give you hope so that you can begin to overcome your depression. There are many ways that you can do this, and one of the best ways is to find people who are willing to change you, to encourage you, and to teach you how to be more confident. It may take some time before you begin to see changes, but you have to surround yourself with positive people at first, to get used to the fact that you do have value, and that you deserve to be treated as well as anyone else. It helps you form the necessary self-esteem and self-confidence early on in your life before your negativity seeps into every aspect of your life.

I always advise people to surround themselves with 5 inspirational people. You should always have 5 people around you who inspire you to be a better person. For instance, you want to succeed in sports. You should keep someone with the same passion near you.

• Make time for exercise – Exercises should be done at least three times a week on top of your normal activities to get the maximum results. Many people think that it takes too much time to go to the gym or they don’t have time for exercise. But if you can commit to a workout regimen, your body will reward you with better metabolism and higher energy levels. You need to make time for exercise, even if your routine is to hit the gym five days a week or doing yoga exercises once a week. By making small goals for yourself you will keep your routine consistent. When you start seeing results, you will be encouraged to set bigger goals. 

• Master the art of listening – One important meaning of and applying the art of Listening intently is that you build a strong relationship with other people. It also improves one’s personal and professional life. It also becomes something that almost anybody can master. Like any other skill, however, you first must practice it, and then with constant patience, it becomes second nature. Mastering the art of Listening starts with you first accepting the fact that you have a problem with listening intently. Once you accept that you have this problem, and you do your best to overcome it, you are well on your way to learning the art of listening.

• Go for a social media detox – Social media is often a great way to stay connected with friends and family, but it can also be a great way to neglect your own needs and feelings. When you take a break from social media, you will be able to concentrate on those things that matter most to you, like family and vacations, instead of constantly being distracted by what is happening on your social media sites. Taking a break from social media is good for both your mental and physical health. 

• Invest in self-care – The concept of self-care is about putting yourself first and always making time for yourself. To do that you have to be able to take care of yourself first. That means you need to be able to plan your days ahead of time so that you know how much time you have left for all the important things you need to do. You have to spend some time on yourself. When you invest in self-care, you make sure that you get enough sleep, exercise, and eat well-balanced meals.

• Get more sleep – It has been found that people who work shift schedules often have difficulty getting the amount of sleep needed to sustain their normal daily activities. It can be difficult to work through the normal day/night routines when you are always on a temporary work schedule, and it can lead to a decline in alertness, poor performance, increased stress levels, and a general reduction in well-being. However, it is very important to get a good sleep. Minimum 7-8 hours of deep sleep is crucial for human growth and repair of the body. 

Habits play a crucial role if you want to change your life. Here are 4 major steps that you can take to transform your life. 

Step 1: Decide What Habits Are Worth It 

How to decide what habits are worth it to transform your life? If you have already figured out that most of your bad habits are self-sabotaging, then you will need to work on the ones that are not. It is a very important first step because habits, whether good or bad, are things that you do constantly. Therefore, if you are trying to change any habit, you need to figure out if you can do without. It is especially true for addictions, where the pleasure and excitement of the short term can easily lead to continued bad habits.

Once you have decided what habits are worth it to transform your life, you need to decide to try and stay with them or change them. Most people will find that the good habits are easier to stick with than the bad ones. There is no quick fix, and if you are thinking about changing something in your life, this is very important.

Step 2: Focus On One Habit At A Time 

The power of focus is a great tool to use in achieving all sorts of goals. You can focus on one thing to help you gain weight, lose weight, or even make money. If you want to change habits for weight loss, start with losing just a few pounds at a time. When you lose just a few pounds at a time, you are in a better position to be motivated by just that little bit. Choose one habit at a time to focus on it, and slowly change habits until you have changed many habits for weight loss. Tell people about your new goal every day, so you are held responsible for your success. Once you have reached your goal, reward yourself. 

Step 3: Set The Bar Low 

Sometimes I think that people set the bar so high that they can’t ever really get there. Then they start to pound on the door, and it just falls on them. So, why do this? Why do people try so hard when they don’t have to? If they had just asked themselves questions like:

Set the bar low. Find out what you’re doing every counterproductive day. Give yourself space for success.

Give yourself lots of space for success. It’s better to go slow than to go fast. It is where you build long-term habits. It is how you get all the dopamine hits in your brain to keep you motivated every single day. What gives you the power to keep pushing forward no matter what. When you find the right strategy for this, you will be able to make goals to move towards success with ease.

Step 4: Use Checklists 

Use checklists for better organization and get more work done. When you use a checklist, it forces you to think about the big picture and not just about every step in an activity. A well-organized workplace will allow you to get more done in less time.

Checklists save you time since they do all the thinking for you. Use checklists to automate repetitive tasks. You will also be able to do many other things when you use checklists instead of writing them by hand or even remembering what you should have done.

Conclusion 

When you are looking to transform your life, you have two big goals: To be happy and to transform your life. By making sure that both of these goals are in your sights, you can transform your life. It can be done. If you think that this task is too big for you to tackle alone, you might consider taking advantage of your relationship. With the help of your partner, you can transform your life into something even greater than you imagined possible. 

One thing to keep in mind is that you don’t have to change just one thing. Changing many different habits is important, as each little thing that you do can slowly add up, and before you know it, you are a completely different person. One thing you might want to try is a social media detox, getting away from social media outlets for some time. You can even use these challenges as opportunities to start realizing how much you’ve been procrastinating and what you need to do to get your life in order. 

Personality development is a set of activities, which are intended to develop and improve an individual’s abilities and competence, build personal capital, facilitate effective employability, improve quality of life and realization of personal goals and aspirations and facilitate the realization of educational goals and aspirations. It involves the development and implementation of policies that are meant to promote an individual’s capabilities, enhance his/her employability and build on his/her capital. 

Personality development includes the process of creating personal goals, targets, acquiring the necessary skills, implementing them, realizing these goals, and attaining appropriate means to acquire those goals. It also involves the process of identifying and establishing one’s identity or individuality, defining and measuring personal worth and worthiness.

A developed personality is all about 

• Building one’s support system
• Finding and utilizing opportunities and resources, 
• Improving communication and social networking, 
• Exercising and maintaining healthy and productive ways of being and living,
• Developing and enhancing one’s self-discipline, 
• Building on one’s strengths, 
• Developing and implementing effective career strategies,

• Appreciating other people’s ideas, 
• Keeping good relationships and generally enjoying life.

So how can we know what personality development goals are? It is always best to have a personal vision of success in everything that we do, especially in the area of work. We can make plans to achieve these goals, but the real test is when we achieve them. 

What is important to realize is that no single method will work for everyone because every person is unique and different. If you truly want to see personality development results, you need to consider and evaluate your circumstances carefully to find the path that suits you best.

Another important way to answer the question, “What is personality development?” is through the process of self-awareness and self-image improvement. These are two processes through which you can change your life and create the life that you want. With an effective personality development plan and the right attitude, anyone can succeed.

8 Life Changing Personality Development Skills

Personality development skills are qualities that you may already have or gain through education and training. Here are some examples of skills that people commonly practice for personal growth. 

1. Communication 
2. Problem-solving 
3. Self-confidence 
4. Listening skills 
5. Interpersonal 
6. Adaptability 
7. Work-ethic

Communication 

One of the most powerful questions one can ask oneself is “what are the benefits of communication skills in personality development?” The simple answer to this question is that they can help you to make the most of your own personality development efforts and to unleash your full potential. With the right communication skills, anyone-regardless of what their current abilities or capabilities are-can have a tremendous impact on the growth of themselves and the people around them!

Problem-solving 

Problem-solving is the one skill that everybody needs to learn and practice if they want to develop themselves. personality development is about self-discovery and improvement, so you need to be able to identify problems and how to solve them. However, most people can’t think creatively or decide on a solution for a problem; this is where problem-solving skills come in. The ability to solve a problem is an inherent part of all human beings, and it is something that everyone should take time to develop.

Self-confidence 

The importance of self-confidence in personality development cannot be underestimated. It’s a fact that it has been said that we are what we do, not what we own. That should be motivation enough to help us build and develop our self-confidence. Strong self-confidence in personality development can make the difference between failure and success in anything you attempt to do in life. It’s not hard to build up one’s self-confidence.

Listening skills 

One of the most important factors in personality development is the ability to listen effectively and be open to learning from others. Listening skills are not only a skill that people can develop through their education or employment, but it is something that can be improved through personal growth experiences. 

While listening is a basic human characteristic, it can be greatly enhanced through creative endeavors such as those associated with the art of communication. In fact, a great deal of success in communication depends upon how accurately one can listen. 

A good listener will be able to pick up on the subtleties of what another person is saying and understand what it is that he or she is trying to communicate.

Interpersonal skills 

Developing interpersonal skills in personality development is a key factor in attaining the life, career, and happiness that we desire. With the skills you learn to communicate effectively, negotiate effectively, manage effectively, and lead effectively you will be able to live a fulfilling life. personality development will provide you with skills and knowledge to help you in every aspect of your life.

Adaptability 

Adaptability can be described as the ability of a person to change and adapt to various changes, regardless of their environment. The concept of adapting is related to the concept of personal boundaries since these are created for our own benefit and to protect us from external influences which may be harmful to our well-being. 

Some of the people who may have great adaptability in their skills are those who have undergone personality development training or have acquired skills through various experiences. Others who may not be as good at this skill are people who have not developed these skills or people with little education on personal boundaries and development. The importance of adaptability in personality development deals with the fact that in life we always have to change and adapt and thus learn to develop our skills to get through different situations. 

Work-ethic 

Work ethics in personality development is essential for attaining personality development and improving your quality of life. As you go through your daily routines, there are certain tasks that you tend to ignore or take for granted. If you want to maximize the positive effects of your effort in personality development, you need to be more assertive and focused. These are just the things that work ethics in personality development can do to help you achieve your goals.

Leadership

The leader is always the star in an organization. As a leader, you have to lead by example, inspire your team members by your qualities and accomplishments, encourage them to take up challenges and be the best they can be, and strive for the impossible. It includes success at work, in sports, in life itself, and with your personality development. 

How to improve your personality development skills? 

• It’s interesting how self-development and personal growth can be linked. Your personal growth is directly related to how you feel about yourself. In many ways, the journey through life is a continuous self-improvement journey. One of the things that most people notice when they observe personal growth is that it usually involves a noticeable improvement in their state of mind. This improvement in your state of mind could very well lead to the manifestation of self-actualization. You are what you think, so if you think you are worthless, then you are worthless.

• So how can you highlight personality development skills? If you want to work on improving your self-development skills, you can start by noticing where you may need some work. Do you find that you have weak self-control or a low work ethic? If so, then you should try to develop your work ethic and discipline. But remember that self-development comes with discipline, so if you lack discipline, then you won’t likely be able to progress to a point where you are better than you were before.

• When you are trying to improve your personality development skills, you should also note any negative characteristics that you might have. Maybe you have a negative response to criticism, low tolerance for uncertainty, low energy level, or a hard time accepting and resolving conflict. After recognizing these issues, you may want to seek professional help or enlist your friends’ assistance. Regardless of how you get the help, however, you must do something to address these problems, because they can seriously hinder your personal growth.

• Finally, when you’re figuring out how to improve your personality development skills, you need to figure out what steps you need to take to achieve your goals. For instance, if you have goals that include becoming financially independent, you can pursue this goal. You can’t move forward unless you develop financial management skills. Even if you are already financially independent, you should consider taking some management classes to ensure that your money-making future is in place.

These are just a few examples of how to improve your personality development skills. There are many more areas that you can focus on. It’s just a matter of recognizing your strengths and taking advantage of them. With enough effort and determination, you too can be on your way to reaching your personal and professional goals.

Personality Development Skills In The Workplace 

Personality development skills help in every aspect of life, these particular practices may be helpful in the workplace and help you advance your career: 

• Be an active listener: In order to be an effective listener in the workplace, you must first realize that your life and the work you do together require that you take a very active role. As a leader, your communication is the most important aspect of what you do, and it requires you to listen carefully to people who are trying to communicate with you. It means not responding or interrupting someone who is speaking. It also means listening without judging, lecturing, or correcting what they are saying. Instead, you should allow them to convey their thoughts, and you can give feedback when necessary without taking sides on the issue. The more you participate, the more effectively you will be able to lead.

• Work well with others: When we do our best and succeed, we should be thankful to those who made it possible. And if we learn to work well with others even when we are successful, we will find that we have more opportunities in life to pursue, both personally and professionally.

• Believe in yourself: Belief in yourself. It makes a big difference. Believing in yourself simply means having confidence in your capabilities. It does not mean expecting miracles, but you can do every little thing you need to do to improve yourself and make yourself successful. It does not mean doubting your abilities, it just simply means doing everything necessary to improve yourself. When you believe in yourself and have confidence in yourself, then you are much more likely to be successful and achieve your goals.

• Adapt to change: Adaptability is a key component of personality development that relates to the ability to effectively change to change adaptively. It is the ability to change with the times and remain adaptable when circumstances change to suit your needs and mindset. Adaptability is related to the ability to change in ways that allow leaders to quickly and efficiently adapt to ever-changing circumstances.

• Guide those around you: Being a successful leader takes confidence, vision, and perseverance. Leaders who don’t encourage their team are more likely to lead them into difficult situations. Those who don’t communicate well are also less effective. Leading those around you needs to be a constant process of learning. 

• Be truthful: There are many reasons to be truthful in the workplace, especially if you are the manager of a company that is being trusted to provide honest services to its customers. A manager is in charge of the company and they should uphold and maintain honesty in order to keep the clients happy and the staff happy too. It is important to keep your head firmly on the right track and working on improving your truthfulness, communication skills, and personality development.

• Work through challenging situations: Each day I go through a tough situation that requires me to “come out of my shell” and work through difficult situations. One of the most challenging things I do in my job is to handle difficult bossy situations. It takes strength and courage to even bring up a simple question during a meeting or speaking with a client. But it is vital to be able to hold your head high despite the challenges you are going through.

• Organize your time, work, and materials: Organise your time and materials in a way that maximizes efficiency, productivity, and personality development. In an increasingly stressful world, it is vital to spend time doing what you enjoy. Organize your time-management skills for greater efficiency and get your work and life to manage your time and life better. Learn more about how to create systems, structure time, make use of personality development tools and learn how to organize your time the effective way.
