Work is fun

Did a study 
Analyzed it extensively 
A few hundred charts I made personally 
A few months ago
Then forgot about it among other work items
Yesterday the team finally presented it to the leadership
Team asked me to present it fully which I did 
I received the best feedback ever
Recognition feels good.

Note to self

Slow down let go
Listen to your body
Rest if you must 
Get up and go when you can. 
Follow instructions that are good for you 
I am not a machine 
A human. The most sophisticated machine there is. 
Machines need down time too. 
Nothing wrong with that. 

Note to self.

Arise

उत्तिष्ठोत्तिष्ठ गोविन्द उत्तिष्ठ गरुडध्वज ।
उत्तिष्ठ कमलाकान्त त्रैलोक्यं मङ्गलं कुरु ॥२॥


Meaning:
2.1: (Salutations to Sri Govinda) In this Beautiful Dawn Wake Up, Wake Up O Govinda within Our Hearts. Wake Up O the One with Garuda in His Flag,
2.2: Please Wake Up, O Beloved of Kamala and fill the Hearts of the Devotees in the Three Worlds with the Auspicious Bliss of Your Presence.

(https://greenmesg.org/stotras/vishnu/venkatesa_suprabhatam.php)

In our prayer we sing to God saying please arise and bless the world with Your presence. 

As we pray to God to do His daily duty let's also remember that we have our own duties to perform every day as well. So let's rise and get to work in a way only we can :-)

Peak performance

Someone once asked a mountaineer, "Why do you climb mountains?"

"Because they are there", says he. 

Similarly in life, we have to be like the mountaineer. 

Climb some mountains over and over because they are there. 

Our personal mountains may not go away, but at least the joy of having climbed them one more time is ours to cherish.

Essential Favorites

Don't wait till the weekend to do your favorite things 
Do them today 
Do them everyday
Wake up early if you can 
Or sleep late 
Doesn't matter
Favorites don't need to wait
Favorites or life's essentials
Do them today. 
Live well 🌳
