✨ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗚.𝗟.𝗔.𝗗. 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲: 𝗔 𝗦𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗠𝘆 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁’𝘀 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝟯 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸𝘀 In one of my recent coaching sessions, a senior leader (coincidentally also named Rakesh) sighed and said: “𝗛𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗹𝘆, 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝘆 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘄.” That moment stayed with me. How often do we fall into the trap of thinking that unless something big happens, life isn’t worth noticing or celebrating? Here’s the truth I’ve learned as a Happititude Mindfulness Coach: 👉 Our soul doesn’t label moments as 𝘣𝘪𝘨 𝘰𝘳 𝘴𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘭. It simply experiences them. What matters is whether we are present enough to notice the 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲, 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 hidden in our everyday lives. So, I introduced him to the 𝗚.𝗟.𝗔.𝗗. 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲. 🔹 𝗚 – 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲 At first, he struggled. Then he said softly: “𝘞𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘶𝘱 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩𝘺 𝘵𝘰𝘥𝘢𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘺 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘦𝘢 𝘪𝘯 𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘦.” His energy softened instantly. 🔹 𝗟 – 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 He remembered telling his wife life felt monotonous. She reminded him: “𝘋𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘺𝘰𝘶’𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘦.” That reflection shifted his perspective. 🔹 𝗔 – 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 After some silence, a smile: “𝘛𝘰𝘥𝘢𝘺 𝘐 𝘨𝘶𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘺 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘢 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘺 𝘤𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘦, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭.” 🔹 𝗗 – 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 His face lit up: “𝘞𝘢𝘵𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘺 𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘭𝘢𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘥𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘴𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘨𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨.” ✨ Three weeks later, here’s what he told me: ✔ “I feel calmer and less restless.” ✔ “I notice small wins instead of waiting for big ones.” ✔ “I show up at work with more clarity and presence.” The shift was visible—not just in his words, but in the way he carried himself. Sometimes, transformation doesn’t come from dramatic breakthroughs. It comes from noticing the everyday moments we usually overlook. 🌙 Tonight, before you sleep, try this: 1️⃣ What am I 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗹 for today? 2️⃣ What did I 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 today? 3️⃣ What did I 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵 today? 4️⃣ What brought me 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 today? You might be surprised at how much good is already present in your life. ✨ What would your G.L.A.D. list look like tonight? With purpose. With heart. From one human to another. — Rakesh Verma

ow Mindful Are You of Your Strengths and Weaknesses? (And how often do you use that awareness to your advantage?) One of my clients came to me feeling mentally exhausted. Despite being smart, committed, and successful in many areas of life, he felt like he was constantly falling short. Why? Because he was overly focused on fixing his weaknesses. His inner dialogue was dominated by self-criticism: “I need to be better at this… I’m not good enough at that…” The more he tried to correct everything, the more burnt out and unmotivated he became. Through our coaching sessions, something shifted. We paused the “fix-it” mindset and instead turned his attention to what truly energized him. We explored his core strengths—the ones that naturally gave him confidence, flow, and impact. And we reframed his weaknesses not as flaws, but as signals that needed mindful management. That shift helped him reclaim his energy, rebuild self-trust, and show up with greater clarity and purpose. Try This Reflection for Yourself Step 1: Identify Your Top 5 Strengths and Weaknesses Strengths are traits that energize you and leave you feeling effective and satisfied. (Examples: strategic thinking, empathy, problem-solving, adaptability, optimism) Weaknesses are patterns that drain you or hold you back. (Examples: overthinking, indecision, perfectionism, avoidance, impatience) Step 2: Ask Yourself • How often am I intentionally using my strengths at work and in life? • Where are my weaknesses getting in the way of progress or peace? • What needs to shift so I can show up more effectively and authentically? ⸻ What To Do With This Insight Put Your Strengths to Work • Choose projects and responsibilities that draw on what you naturally do best. • Set goals that stretch and excite you—not ones that drain your energy. • Share your expertise by teaching, coaching, or mentoring others. • Combine strengths in new ways to solve problems creatively. • Experiment with applying your strengths in unfamiliar situations to build confidence. Manage Your Weaknesses Wisely • Use your strengths as anchors to balance weaker areas. • Partner with people whose strengths complement yours. • Introduce new habits deliberately, linking them to your values and goals. This isn’t about erasing weaknesses, but about putting them in the right place: not in the driver’s seat. Self-awareness is a leadership skill, not just another development exercise. When you understand what lifts you up—and what pulls you down—you navigate choices, relationships, and goals with more clarity. So ask yourself: When was the last time I paused to reflect on my strengths—and how they shape my day, my decisions, and my direction? I’d love to have a conversation if this resonates or sparks something for you. ✋ With purpose and heart, for one human to another. – RV
Strengths and Weakness
"Swaraj jaane ke liye khud hi marna padta hai." Or as someone once said, “To reach heaven, you need to die yourself.” A few years ago, I was in a meeting with the COO of a leading real estate developer. We had known each other for some time, so the conversation wasn’t just transactional. We began speaking about leadership, team dynamics, accountability—and the reality of how people show up at work. In the middle of our discussion, he said something that caught me completely off guard: "Rakesh, swaraj jaane ke liye khud hi marna padta hai." I was stunned. There was a pause. Silence. Neither of us said anything for a moment—but that sentence lingered in the room like a truth waiting to be acknowledged. We moved on and wrapped up our meeting. But I couldn’t stop thinking about what he’d said. Back home, the words kept echoing in my mind. So much so that I had to step outside. I walked to a nearby garden, sat in a quiet corner, closed my eyes—and just reflected. And then it struck me: That line was more than poetic. It was a truth most of us try to avoid. To reach self-leadership, you must die to your old self. To reach personal freedom, you must surrender your attachment to comfort. To reach heaven, you need to die yourself. Not literally. But inwardly. You have to let go of the blame, the excuses, the idea that someone else is responsible for your growth. You have to step into ownership, even when it’s uncomfortable. In my corporate journey—and now in my coaching work—I’ve seen how often people outsource responsibility. They want change, but not the discomfort that comes with it. They want results, but without the hard choices. They want growth—but hope someone else will carry them there. A few months ago, I had to pause two coaching journeys midway. Not because the clients lacked potential or intelligence, but because they weren’t taking responsibility for their own goals. They had defined what they wanted, but weren’t following through. They expected me to carry their accountability. But growth doesn’t work that way. True transformation begins when you stop outsourcing your power. Yes, others can support, guide, and challenge you. But only you can commit to the path. Because... Swaraj jaane ke liye khud hi marna padta hai. To reach heaven, you need to die yourself. Let go of what’s keeping you stuck. Release the old stories that no longer serve you. Shed the identity that waits for permission. And then—lead & take actions . If this message resonates with you like it did with me, pause and ask: What part of me needs to dissolve… so the leader in me can rise & I can take actions and be accountable ? I’d love to hear your reflections—or have a conversation if this opened something within you. #SelfLeadership #Accountability #InnerTransformation #ExecutiveCoaching #OwnYourJourney #Swaraj #LeadershipDevelopment #LettingGo #MindfulLeadership #ConnectWithRakeshVerma

🎯 Big Dreams. Stuck Reality. What’s Missing? “I work hard. I keep switching jobs for better roles. I say yes to everything. So why do I still feel stuck?” This is the silent frustration many professionals carry. One client I recently worked with was exactly in this place. He signed up for 12week journey together. He was talented, ambitious, and hungry for growth. He switched jobs every 1–2 years chasing better titles. He worked late nights, said “yes” to every project, and constantly pushed himself – hoping someone would notice and reward his effort. He had a long list of dreams – leadership roles, financial freedom, making an impact. But deep inside, he was frustrated. He felt like he was running hard without moving forward. The real problem? He was dreaming big, but without a clear GOAL & roadmap. It was like typing the wrong destination in a GPS – no matter how fast you drive, you’ll end up at the wrong place. Through professional coaching, we pressed pause and started building a foundation: Clarity: What does success truly mean to him (beyond titles and “looking good” on paper)? SMART-PURE Goals: We transformed vague aspirations into specific, measurable, realistic, and values-aligned goals. Reality Check: Where he stood today – his skills, networks, experiences – and what was missing. Options & Roadmap: Which opportunities would genuinely build his future and which were simply distractions. Commitment: Was he fully prepared to take consistent action to reach his vision? The shift: He stopped chasing job titles for the sake of it. He started making deliberate career moves that built credibility, skills, and relationships aligned with his long-term vision. For the first time, he felt in control of his career. He wasn’t just dreaming anymore – he had a clear goal , direction, a roadmap, and the commitment to make it happen. Here’s the truth: You can work incredibly hard, switch jobs often, and still feel like you’re not getting anywhere… if you don’t define the right goals, pathway, and actions. This is the power of professional coaching. It helps you move from being “busy” to being purposeful and unstoppable If this resonates with you, let’s connect to explore where you are, where you want to be, and how you can get there – with confidence and purpose.
