Not Able To Mend The World Around.. Then Mend Your Ways..

 Are you relevant to the current times? Keeping pace with the tide is vital to be relevant.

Relevance is doing what keeps you up in your game of life. What does it take to stay relevant in today's world? I asked many of my friends and colleagues, what does it mean for you to stay relevant and what do you need to do to stay relevant? Since I am in the training and coaching field, I got answers from individuals of the same cohort. They stated that for them relevance means know what is latest in your area of expertise, gaining mastery over skills and behaviours of your type of job. For being relevant, usually we upgrade our knowledge, learn new skills and inculcate behaviours which clearly push your growth trajectory. 

But staying relevant also means shedding old notions, letting go off what does not work for you anymore. Staying relevant means making way for the new, giving up unhealthy and unresourceful ideas and beliefs.

Like a snake sheds his skin, and birds shed their old feathers, we humans also must shed our inhibitions and limiting thoughts. How often do we hear this? 'I think he does not like me that is why he behaved like this.' So flawed is our thought process.. as the line begins with 'I think..' If it is in your mind, it is a reflection of you and not the other person. How often do we question such a belief and get evidence either against or for it. I am so sure if we ask ourselves in retrospect, we will get more evidence against our unhealthy thought, than evidence for it. 

Let's counter all such thoughts, to stay relevant to our reality and surroundings.
