Resilient Person's guide to Life Struggles -- Part II

Resilience was introduced into the English language in the early 17th Century from the Latin verb resilire, meaning to rebound or recoil

Value origins from Latin valēre meaning to be strong, be worth

Values provide us insight to what are the reasons behind the decisions we have made through our lives.

For example, I Divya Srivastava, the coach of this whole program, have the core values of Serve, Inspiration and Growth.(I deduced them through a scientific framework) And since I know these values now, it is easy for me to make decisions in alignment with my values. Without discovering my core values I was lost, disoriented and was confused on which path to take.

My core values keep me in peace and emotionally fulfilled.

There are other values which support your core values. We do that in order for smoother transitions in life and work. Such a value is Resilience.

Dr Ginsburg, child paediatrician and human development expert, proposes that there are 7 integral and interrelated components that make up being resilient – competence, confidence, connection, character, contribution, coping and control.

Building these resources within oneself is one way of creating resilience. It is a muscle which needs work to keep strong.

A lot of times we know what is important to us, our Core Values, but we lack Resilience. When life hits us hard, it want us to become stronger. For example, my value of Serving is useless if I do not have the strength to handle rejection of people who do not want my service. When I do not show resilience, I am unable to follow the path of my Core Values. This applies to all, without an exception!

When we use the compass of our Core Values and the strength of our resilience muscles, there is no mountain we can not climb!

Luck

What does luck mean to you? Is luck a coincidence? Is luck hereditary? Is being lucky important? Is it the only way to be successful? Can you choose luck? Can you get lucky by wearing gemstones? Well, if it answers any of the above, and you must have heard this before, we make our own luck, just as we make our own destiny. Luck is, when we move our butt. When you returned that extra money a person gave you, which years later, he remembered and provided you with the job you have been looking for desperately. Luck is, when you have done the certification which at that time seemed of no use, and years later pays you more than anyone else. Luck is, when you have been kind and everyone else has been kinder to you, because the universe works that way. Luck is, when you randomly talked to the person on the next table and he starts to give you opportunities which you were looking for. Luck is, when you learnt good deed from your parents and replicate them. Luck is, when you have don...

My experience with Neuro-Linguistic Programming and Spirituality

We often underestimate our minds, we forget that we are more than our bodies. I read in the book, Think and Grow Rich by Oliver Napoleon Hill, that we have access to any and every secret we might want to discover, through our subconscious mind. The question arises- how! But first let us discuss what is Neuro-Linguistic Programming. Quoting from the site https://neurolinguisticprogramming.com/ "Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is defined as the study of the structure of subjective experience and what can be calculated from that and is predicated upon the belief that all behavior has structure." In my words, NLP adds structure to our perception of this world. It provides us models, tools and techniques to make the best use of our individual minds and to train it to success. NLP shows how the mind works to make the most out of it, whether you want to lead a simple life or become a millionaire or even both. For instance, "Sleep over it" is not just a phrase...

Goal Vs Outcome

An outcome would be, to earn a crore rupees in the next year. A goal would be the idea to work upon which will get you that outcome, for example, to make a course and sell it to a crore people. Many people do not understand the difference between these two and hence end up only having an outcome in mind. A goal is the way to achieve that outcome you desire. Goal is action oriented and something you deliver to the world in form of an idea or a product or a service. Any outcome you desire is an output of give and take. You can not expect an outcome if you do not deliver something. Find that something within you and unlock your potential. Create it into a service or a product or should I say an asset. Wrap it in a brilliant deal that no one can deny. Once you give that to the world, the world will bring you your desired outcome. You need steps? 1. Write down what do you desire in life. This sets the outcome. (For example, I want to earn a million) 2. Make an extensive list of w...
