Learning from Little Leaders

I woke up to the sensation of my arm being dislocated from my shoulder. I squeezed my eyes shut and started to create a plan for rehabilitation only to realize that the arm was attached perfectly. It was only soreness. 

My son loves baseball as much as he loves his tablet. Somehow, he maneuvered me in taking him to the baseball field to practice his batting and pitching even though I grumbled for a whole hour. 

Why do I need to take on another task? Don’t I do enough for you already? I’m outdoorsy but not into sports- you know that already! Will I need those shoes so you don’t pulp my toes?  Why don’t you call your father to ask if he can take you after his work?

After seeing my resistance he called his father three times during that hour but of course, the big guy wouldn’t answer. His excuse was that his phone was on silent and he lost track of time while working. Really!

I had to bite the bullet when my son started to help with “chores.” Chores I invented to stall. He waited patiently while I put o “those shoes” and even remembered to carry a water bottle.

Still, in my skirt, earrings, and makeup, I went to the baseball field (It’s better to suck at something while looking good). My mind kept telling me, “remember: you have played street cricket and Gilli Danda in India.” SIGH!

We started with simple throwing and catching, getting used to each other, and then my son showed me how I need to behind the plate and how to throw. I started as a wild pitcher- the balls went in every which direction except across the plate. My darling son continued to instruct me on how to do it right, and eventually I got the hang of it (somewhat).  After pitching the ball about a million times, it was my turn to bat so he could practice his pitching. And guess what? I can HIT.

What struck me most was  how amazing my son was throughout the process. He was patient –not once did he get mad or frustrated. He didn’t over instruct me. He was encouraging. He celebrated every decent pitch of mine. He motivated and inspired me to do better. He made it fun. Most of all, he was so proud of me for getting out of my comfort zone and trying something new. 

I learned a lot about being a good leader. 

I can’t believe I actually enjoyed the whole experience and can’t wait to go back to the baseball field. My son has created a monster!

Make out of your comfort zone.

Comment "aye" if tou agree. ✨✨✨✨ A leader should know how to help people grow! It's the responsibility. If you are a leader, pull them out of the comfort zone.

I taught them something new and gave them a wig to put on. Some are scare and some eager to try. If it scares us, perhaps it is a good thing to try, put self out there. #amarisEducation #garyveechallenge #gazellePenang #try #new #explore #wig #goldenwig #dosomethingneverdone #getoutofcomfortzone #speechanddrama #play https://www.instagram.com/p/B8U9wt4pHbU/?igshid=7o4ri6fp6oii

I'm not a huge fan of hiking, but like that random lady told me during the Valley of Fire hike, it's good to do something out of your comfort zone and you look uncomfortable. #talkingtostrangers #hike #hiking #notafanofhiking #getoutofcomfortzone #bigsur #worththeview #nature #somuchgreen #walkingstick #gettinglost (at Big Sur, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwGoYsshUuH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=z1cmli1ojyxg

I knew early on, it isn't what I can't do, but what I am used to doing that keeps me from my goals. I had to get out of my comfort zone and take a risk. It was this day in 1996 after breakfast with my new family. I realized it's ok to take chances and just do it. My brother in law who you can not see inspired that thought that moment. Great guy love him. #takearisk #setgoals #comfortzone #Throwback #1996 #grandstreet #centrestreet #nofear #believeyoucan #believe #getoutofcomfortzone (at Landmark Coffee Shop)

My Quietness

Chaos. I’d change that into quietness. It isn’t silence. Maybe a billion thoughts honking in your head. Pong Pong! Many of these walk over your life and you’ve lost the count. Over the years, the world has become so quiet at the least, my world. Not that I am in the country side. Wide awake in the city midst with just thoughts for company!

At a fast pace, the world keeps changing. The view ain’t…

ENTREPRENEURSHIP. “If you could get all the people in the organisation rowing in the same direction, you could dominate any industry, in any market, against any competition, at any time.” - Patrick Lencioni We were given a mission by the World Islamic Economic Forum (WIEF) to curate a unique once-in-a-lifetime learning experience for global youth entrepreneurs and changemakers from Canada, United States, United Kingdom, Germany, The Gambia, Sudan, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, China, Sri Lanka and more. And in good spirit, we accepted it 👍🏼 Little did the Young Fellows know that they would be doing Dragon Boat with our partner, Society Staples, after learning sign language. Well, entrepreneurship is about responding to surprises and taking risks as a team. What better than getting wet together and being on the same boat with other entrepreneurs 💪🏼 Looking back upon reflection, several shared that they initially had apprehension and felt anxious but later on discovered that a physical activity like dragonboating has much life lessons that they brought back to their home countries. Everyone enjoyed it 🤗 A highlight for many, we hope they treasure these precious memories we shared at the Kallang River <3 Happy Dragon Boat Festival 🐲 #WIEFYoungFellows #GetOutOfComfortZone (at Kallang Water Sports Centre)

What are you willing to do to achieve your dreams? Most of the time the real reason why we never able to reach our destination in life is we never did go out from where we are right now. #getoutofcomfortzone (at Liliw, Laguna)

If you can see your path laid out in front of you step by step, you know it's not your path. Your own path you make with every step you take. That's why it's your path.

📚Get Out of Your Comfort Zone Fear of failure, rather than lack of ability, drives us to hesitation. For comfort, we trend towards a comfort zone – a behavioral space where our activities are predictable. The benefits are obvious: contentment, low stress levels and a sense of security. The glimmer fades when we breach the boundaries of comfort. Following are the benefits derived and skills required for breaking out of your comfort zone: 👉Overcoming the fear barrier - Rationalizing fear masks the reality of the situation: you are afraid to admit anxieties and dismiss something as not worthwhile. Instead, accept the fear and think of how taking the leap can provide the impetus for growth and learning, or for realising other goals. 👉Customizing the situation - Translate your resolution into specific behaviour. Identify the challenge and find appropriate solutions. There is no one-size-fits-all proposition. Each situation is unique and needs a customised solution. So tweak the situation, take control and get the most out of it. 👉Mentorship - Connect with people who inspire and bring strength of purpose. A mentor will help you adapt to the new situation, motivate, and give you the confidence to push through and achieve your goals. ❗️In conclusion, adaptation takes time. However, a good plan and determination will maximise output potential.
