1. ‘Why’ is very important.

  • Things done for the right reasons sustain in long term.
  • Things done for the right reasons bring out the passion required to succeed.
  • Reasons are at the core of everything, which ultimately presents the larger picture. Essence of larger picture is always in the smallest of idea/reason.

2. Always have a larger picture.

  • It doesn’t have to be reasonable, it can be outlandish.
  • Comes out of the ‘Why’ and guides all the smaller goals.

3. Starting small is the way forward.

  • Small but definitive.
  • Every action should have a measurable output attached.
  • Minimum viable product.

4. Always stay in present.

  • Past cannot be changed, has no influence on present. Be detached of it.
  • Future will happen because of innumerable actions being taken, some by us and most by others. We can just play our part in present.
  • Results always come in the future. And we have no control over the results. If we always dreaming about positive result that may induce complacency on the flip side if we are always thinking negative that builds up fear.
  • Staying in present builds confidence in accomplishing whatever smallish task we are carrying out.

5. Protect the asset.

  • Our body, mind and relationships are the assets we have. Constant work in needed on maintenance.
