Reinvent your life through sailing and blogging

Have you heard stories of great sailors?  JOURNEYS of Great sailors teach us a heck of a deal on blogging and reinventing life through blogging.  I found a great co-relation between sailing and blogging.  And both are ideal way of living your life King Size.

So what happens when your boat is off track or struggling in a storm or is struck with an ice berg?  You feel helpless.  What you do when your boat has lost direction and is wandering about in the ocean?  Your hope is someone will come and help you out.  Someone will show you the way of survival.  Some one will rescue your JOURNEY.

So in that hope you start sending signals in the air hoping somebody in the world will receive, interpret it and eventually send rescue teams to save your boat.  Blogging is very similar to sailing and we can learn great life lessons from sailing and blogging.

So you start sending the signals (write blog posts) and wait sometime.  As time passes by you see no help is coming your way.  You become nervous and frustrated.  Now what ! Either you give up or you continue sending signals.   Somehow you hope that someday will definitely come.  And you keep sending signals.  Few hours passes and now you meet some fellow men who have lost the track just like you.  They will either help you or pass by with no clue or even ignore you.

Similarly in life, you have lost direction in quest or you are failing or you want to reinvent your life.  And  you don't know what you do.  You identify the cause and start sending signals.  Some never do.  They are satisfied with their status quo.  Few accept the challenge and fight.  You don't give up and continue sending signals in the ether.   You keep posting  your thoughts on a blog and keep sending signals. 

Finally the boats arrives you get people who will be able to relate to your cause(interpret your signal).  They will support you to find your way and reinvent yourself.  They will comment on your thoughts.  Along the way you too will grow and become a learning individual.     

The great life learning lesson here was contributing to this world without expecting something and just hoping that somebody will recognize your work.  There will come a day when the boats will arrive and take you ashore. 

Key Points :
1) Identify your passion or your problem
2) Starting sending signals -write blog posts
3) Persistence - Continue sending signals
4) Hope - Hope somebody will relate to your feelings
5) Challenge your status quo

Blamers vs Seekers

Whenever you are facing a tough situation in your life, then you will meet individuals who are either Blamers or Seekers.  By seekers, I mean Solution Seekers.  Your effectiveness in dealing with a situation will be greatly determined by having an overwhelming majority of Seekers on your team.  The more you have these people, the better you will fare in any given situation. When you want to solve an issue and get a deeper understanding, you don’t want to spend time dealing with politics or calming a person’s emotions about trivial things.  You want to dive into details, do a root cause analysis and fix the problem.  Plus you want to prevent it from happening again.  Blamers have always someone to blame for their problems.  They get agitated easily.  They take it on themselves. Solution seekers are trying to solve the problem.  They are diving into the specifics of the issue at hand and what could be done to solve the problem and prevent it from happening again.  They are already at wor

A Make Sure List For Every Meeting To Stay On Track

Image
Some projects last for a long period of time and lots of meetings are conducted to get the project done.  During those meetings lots of things are discussed.  Lots of decisions are being made and responsibilities being assigned.  At the same time not everything that was important gets accomplished.  It is because other priorities took over and that one thing which was important never got done.  And nobody bothered to revisit it. I think these things should be addressed before a meeting is even scheduled and agenda being formed.  This is a checklist of things that need to be done for past, present and future meetings.   This will make sure that we are in the control of the project.  I see past, present and future meetings’ to-do lists as color coded items.  It helps me in realizing the importance of each of them.  Please make sure about the following things for every meeting we schedule. Previous meetings ( Green ) Run through a checklist from last meeting about things that need

Sugar A Status Symbol ! Really !

Sugar a symbol of status ! Really !   In the seventeenth century sugar was an item of luxury and it was considered as a status symbol.   It was very expensive item and of course the technology didn't existed to mass produce sugar from sugar cane. Suddenly they started producing more and more sugar flooding the market.  So prices decreased.  And sugar was added to everything into coffee, tea, dairy products etc.  It was turned into a necessity.   I was surprised to read this and you should read this   Sugar turned into a necessity . For more people to consume sugar they started promoting benefits of sugar.  Middle class also started consuming because a luxury item then was now affordable and they started consuming sugar like anything. Coming back to 2010 if you just walk into a super market you will see thousands of products which have ample of sugar.  It is enough to make you diabetic.  Guys any second guesses to why obesity and diabetes is increasing in 21st century than b
