Your Name Your Legacy

You don't have to start the next Apple to build your legacy. You don't have to set out on a worldwide journey to make your mark. You don't have to donate billions to a charity to leave a legacy. You don't have to.

You came here with nothing and you will bring nothing too. You came here alone and you will die alone too. If you think that leaving a legacy is important to you then read further. 

If you notice the common aspects of all the legacy builders, there will be one thing in common. They were givers. They gave something away or they contributed something meaningful to the society. 

All of us are going to die one day and your name should remind the world of something or the world gets to remember your name in assocation with something. Your name, your legacy and that will be an eternal life.

The ultimate thing that you can leave behind should be an idea. Leave behind an idea that can change the world and transform lives. Even if you failed to achieve in your lifetime, your idea will live and others will give life to it.

Now, that's what I call a legacy. Not your name or wealth. Your idea that can live and give life to others.

If You Don't Know What You Want Then Do This

One of the hardest point in my life was to find out what I really wanted. You can call that a goal, purpose or a milestone to be reached but I am talking about identity crisis here. When you are following a mentor you are becoming more like them in your shades and at one point you will realize that you can fulfill your potential further than that.  You have your own and unique potential and to discover that, you need to embark on a self discovery journey. That journey might take decades because you must try a lot and find out what works for you. Sometimes, it won't be just one calling for all. There might be a few in a row. To cut it short there's a simple way to find out what you want if you don't know what you really want. We have to go the opposite way and find out what you don't want. Choose someone that you know and you don't like. List down every single details on why you don't like that person. Write as many as you can until you run out of ideas. Now the ...

No One Has Ever Become Poor By Giving

No one has ever become poor by giving. - Anne Frank. She was 15 years old when she wrote this in her diary. To give is to achieve your life's purpose. Giving without any expectations is the purest of all. You don't necessarily have to give money. It can be love, time, knowledge and joy. Best of all it'll return back to you. Givers are achievers. You must give value and in return you will receive value too. Give like there's nothing to lose. Give it with love. Think Small T. Mohanadasan

New Year Resolution Won't Work Unless You Do This

It's New Year already and you must have decided to set a goal either for your physical fitness or financial fitness. Whatever your goal is it won't work if you can't stick to it for long term. The body that you have now is the sum of the food choices that you made over the years and you expect you can change just like that. No, it won't work. The ultimate reason why you fail to stick to your goal is because of your environment. No matter how hard you try, some external forces will suppress you and your goal. Don't try to fight it because you will fail harder the next time. The only thing that you must do before setting any resolution is to change your environment. You are the product of your environment. If you were born in a war zone, probably your resolution must be to stay alive. Your environment can shape you and it has power over you. The best thing that you can do is to set your environment in a way that can be inducing for you to create and follow processes t...
