Get Back Up Again, Become Audacious to Negatives

I have been having a lot of conversations on a daily basis with many on the contours of the present ongoing crisis. One theme which is emerging that there is certainly a lot of stress out there with so much uncertainty going on.

Many have taken a severe beating in their business, others are struggling with the constant changes in their lives and fear of the disease. This crisis has affected us all in some way. However, how we are coping up with the downfall is not the same as everyone. Few are still trying to get back & waiting. However, few have Got Back Up Again from their fall and are becoming Champion of their Work & Life.

A champion is defined not by their wins but by how they can recover when they fall: Serena Williams.

Whenever I read the above quote, I always remember my business partner for over seven years, Sridhar. I believe he is a True Champion, as I have seen him get up every time he has fallen down. In the last nine months, he has fought through difficult medical conditions. He has steered our Startup Jeevitam, a Livelihood Platform into the centre stage of the present crisis through our Innovative Technology, bringing in New Big Customers & Convincing Investors to believe in our Journey. One important thing I have learned from him is to keep our emotions in another room every time We fall down or rise up in life. Easier said than done, but helps substantially.

I have seen that when life knocks us down; repeatedly, the easiest thing to do is blame someone or something, and maybe even ourselves for the situation we are in.

However, doing that will only fill us with temporary satisfaction at most. I strongly believe that nothing is forever; the brightest day, the darkest night will eventually end. In a similar way, these ‘knockdowns’ in life are just momentary and will be the past of yesterday. Learning from these knockdowns and just moving ahead; guilt-free is the way I live. I’ll conclude by quoting Sylvester Stallone from the movie Rocky Balboa. “Life’s not about how hard of a hit you can give… it’s about how many you can take, and still keep moving forward.”

Happy Sunday!! Keep Moving & Smiling!
