The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today: Today's QOTD is some words of inspiration from H. Jackson Brown Jr. Life is busy and we are caught up in the daily stress of how life is going on, the future planning and the demands of the day. No matter how busy our life is - there is still a small element in us asking to take control and seize the day.

It always seems impossible until it's done: What a powerful quote – Nelson Mandela makes us challenge the assumptions of impossible and asks us to dare to dream beyond the impossible. The most natural response when something appears impossible is to give up and move on. But there are some desires, passions and dreams that don’t let us give up.

The Work From Home Debate: Are We Willing to Take a Pay Cut?

Work From Home: I came across a Forbes article today that claims up to 40% of people are willing to take a pay cut for the benefit of working from home. We all know that one of the benefits post-COVID has been work-life balance. We’re also aware of many companies trying to force people to come back and work from the office. I can see arguments on both sides of this. Source:…

Nothing is more difficult than to be able to decide - Napoleon

I like complexity as you’ve seen by now. This quote raises one such complexity about decision making. Most often we’re trained to think that decision making is a binary process. Make a list of pros and cons – then you’ll be able to decide. I only wish life was as simple as that. This quote by Napoleon lays it out beautifully – nothing is more difficult than to be able to decide! What these…

What you do every day matters more than what you do once in a while

I started reading this book, The Happiness Project in the quest to find my source of inspiration or passion for life. It is as if I’m on a mad rush to find my connection to something that makes me feel completely involved and either give me a sense of purpose or a feeling of satisfaction. The quest however continues, but I did fall in love with this quote – what you do every day matters more than…

Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men

#impossible #challenge #quotes #muhammadali #inspiration #motivation

Such a powerful quote by Muhammad Ali that talks about the power of challenge – defying common beliefs and standing true to our dreams and desires. I love most of his quotes because they challenge the status quo. Impossible in some ways is a status quo that needs a strong challenge. We have seen so many records being broken. They were all once thought impossible but someone went beyond these…

Champions aren't made in gyms - Muhammad Ali

#muhammadali #quotes #inspiration #motivation #quoteoftheday

This is a stunning quote by Muhammad Ali that talks about two valuable aspects. The first one is about the ability to dream, visualise and work towards them. The second part is about having the skill. They both are important to success. At some point, they cross the barrier of one being better than the other. They act together and get you to a special place – that place of being a…

Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment

#gandhiji #gandhijayanti #inspiration #quotes #motivation

Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment: Success and failure are all about the results – this is what most of us are taught to believe. I can see the logic in this because success comes with results and accolades that help us recognise a victory. This quote by Mahatma Gandhi talks about the effort involved in achieving success. Some of our successes can sometimes be fluke events.…

Failure will never overtake me if my definition to succeed is strong

#failure #success #quotes #inspiration #kalam #abdulkalam #motivation #quoteoftheday

Failure will never overtake me: These are powerful words to tell ourselves and make it a part of our belief system. There’s no success without failure. But, if we let these failures take over us and shake our foundations, we are doomed. It all comes down to our definition of success and how strong we’ve built these foundations. These foundations will be shaken through many experiences, some of…

Suffering is the essence of Success - Abdul Kalam

#suffering #success #quotes #inspiration #kalam #quoteoftheday #motivation

Suffering is the essence of success: I’m conflicted about this quote. Although I appreciate what Abdul Kalam says about suffering i.e. hard work, perseverance and facing disappointments, I’m also against suffering as a precondition for success. Our journey should be fun because it isn’t the results that matter in the end. It is about the journey we take and how we feel about it in the long run.…

The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others - Mahatma Gandhi 

This quote by Mahatma Gandhi talks about the social aspect of serving others and the personal aspect of finding your purpose. Finding purpose is a difficult question and many guides and coaches are working on it, it sometimes feels like a lost cause. Most guidance we receive about finding ourselves tends to be generic and unhelpful. Perhaps the best advice I’ve received is to try different…

I alone cannot change the world Mother Teresa

This quote talks to me about the simplicity and power of good thoughts and actions. One person may not be too big to make all the difference in the world. But one person can create a ripple effect by doing something that the rest of the world joins in. The beauty of this quote is not just in the humility Mother Teresa reflects in the quote. It is also about the belief in others and resonance that…
