I learnt an invaluable lesson in person from Mother Teresa herself, and that lesson was that I had no business complaining as there was so much pain and suffering in this world. I should take charge of my life with an attitude of gratitude.

I flipped my approach to don the hat of a mentor and not the mentee.
Little acts of not complaining for an hour and pressing the reset button are simple ways of being thankful for this life and to unlock the positivity that resides in all of us.

There have been undeniably frustrating times when my body was slow to respond, while my mind was zipping ahead.

Given a choice between a fast body and a slow mind or a fast mind with a slow body, I definitely opted for the fast mind, and this turned out to be a wonderful driving force that taught me to be the master of my life.

Whenever I failed to take control of my life, I was at the mercy of others and that was not a feeling that I liked much. Therefore, I always strived to live my live my life on my own terms. These are some key messages I will be happy to share from my experiences to leaders to better handle constraints.
