10 Things I Wish I Knew 10 Years Ago

1. Progress is playing the game out there on the court, not in the head.

2. What you want, give it to others. That's the only way to get what you want.

3. Slow down. Growth comes only to those who move forward like a tortoise. Racing ahead like a hare leads to exhaustion and missing to reach the destination because life is a marathon, not a 100 metres race.

4. Kids mirror me. Look in the mirror if I don't like what they are doing. They'll only learn from how I live my life. School is merely to give me time to work on myself.

5. Happiness and fulfilment comes only from serving others - family, customers, employees, everyone around me.

6. Everyone is here to leave the world a better place by being the world's best in something. My purpose is to help them find it and to support them to live joyfully in the expression of it.

7. Prosperity and Success are an outcome of being love, gratitude, reverence, integrity and mastery; moment by moment. From a distance, the opposite seems true but lasting, deeply fulfilling, joyous greatness lies in the domain of love, gratitude, reverence, integrity and mastery.

8. Gentleness elicits greater performance and productivity from people than toughness. People perform much higher than their current levels when you believe in them being extraordinary whether they themselves believe it or not.

9. Challenging myself by learning new skills nourishes the soul.

10. Bigger the breakdown, bigger the breakthroughs. Therefore, embrace all breakdowns and receive them with gratitude as gifts from the Universe.

Love,
Jyoti.
