I’m not literally asking the question, but posing a question that we face every day. This is something we think about in all the different decisions we go through in life. It can range from career, financial and personal matters that are all dear to us. I’ve got a slightly different perspective on this topic.

All my life – I’ve faced this dilemma and I’ve realized the formula that works for me. I choose to run. Whatever the situation maybe, but when that inexplicable feeling inside me tells me to go for it – I choose to listen to it. What I’ve realized is that when you decide to go 110% on your chosen path, the energy and time you normally would put at the fear of failure – goes away. You have no option to fail and you choose to put all your energies on the positives. Failure never becomes an option and it shouldn’t be. Life doesn’t always work that way – but the chances are – if you build your DNA to grow a wall that can eliminate any negative noise – your chance of success just grows astronomically. Always stand up for what you believe or want. That inner voice is your friend.

Now – I’m not saying I jump into everything “gung-ho” – there are limitations here. Look at the state of our economy it’s the result of the build-up from the credit crisis we face today. That’s a mistake that’s costing many Americans and the overall economy dearly. The difference here is – separating tangible risk with material risk. If we choose to invest materially into something that we can’t have control of – like money – the risk of failure increases. However, if we choose to invest our time, focus, energy, discipline, values on all the tangible goals we have in life – you begin to build that inner-confidence that defines your DNA to succeed.

So, as even Nike says, JUST DO IT.

I was fortunate this weekend as I got to celebrate a lot of things. On Friday it was my elder brother’s birthday, Saturday was my nephew’s birthday, and of course Sunday was Mothers day. It was a memorable time since I cherished every moment with my family. It’s not too often we’re all in the same place for 72 hours.

I also spent a lot of 1:1 time with my father, whom I admire greatly. Given the success I’ve had in my life – he also knows the great struggles and problems it comes with. As well as, the shift in how society ends up labeling and taunting you when you become more visible. Therefore, he reminded me of a famous shayari (poem) that he heard. It was great to be reminded of these words. I’ve translated the words from hindi to the best of my capability – as I think the words are beautiful and powerful and the underlying theme is something we can all relate to.

Chal Rahe ho tho – bathani ki zaroot nahin
As you begin to reach your destiny – there is no reason to say

Chal Rahe ho tho – bathani ki zaroot nahin
As you begin to reach your destiny – there is no reason to say

Rukh ge jis din – pooche ga koi nahin
Because, if you ever fail – no one will ever ask

Jhante he jo – dhol vo peethe nahin
But, those who know – will never expose their noise

Chalte rahte hein bas – mor kar dekhte nahin
They will simply march toward their destiny – with never looking in the past…
