Being Marica

So much is happening around us! A very big part of me wants to consume the daily updates on a "need to know" basis purely to retain my focus and my sanity. Economically we are warned of crunch and are in full view of punches thrown globally. A piece of news I did pick up on is how Sylvester Stallone hoped that he had kept the rights to Rocky films. In all fairness it was his every word and work which went into it. When I reflect on this I'm also urged to feel - maybe that's just the way it was meant to be!  Maybe his opportunity cost to take him from unknown to known. I also think of the late Steve Jobs who was fired from the company he started. Not easy to understand what it must have felt like for him. I also personally know someone who, through a set of  extremely disheartening circumstances, was cornered into exiting a role which she was committed to and giving many late nights to. Not easy! None of these instances could have been for any one of these p...

It's no secret, I'm into a few things. No, no! I am passionately focused on a few, key things. Yeah, that sounds about right! I'm not going to list any because a quick scroll through my platforms should leave you with enough to work with. That's until we can meet in person. I'd love to cook you a meal actually😊. Will you accept? I'm here thinking -  'how the hell am I going to do this?' How am I going to silence her? Her. The Fearless.

I recently discovered Paulo Coelho's few minute reads on his blog. In a quick speed  read Paulo's still able to capture a great part of me. Paulo, to me, is someone who gets things both simple and complicated and who makes sense of it with great simplicity for us all. I don't mean to sound like I'm crushing on him because I am equally appreciative of James David Landis's literary brilliance, wit, his He Said She Said twitter snaps and his book's title's. What I've taken from both author's short and thought provoking writings is that great minds,  whether shared in detailed reads or short 'stories', is more than enough for me. More than enough is something I hold onto closely these day's. It's my sense of gratitude and the acknowledgement of things being good enough for me however life expresses them professionally and personally. However things show up, abundantly or limited, I am so good in a place of 'more than eno...

Alot is happening! Good and bad alike. We have innovations and solutions being created for good and which are equally causing societal distresses. Industries are outperforming their under performance with business rethinks and new focuses which is refreshing - and which also poses challenges to human competency. Humans are embarking on a new set of self indulged and humanly induced complications designed for humans, by humans. Some of us also prefer to term these complications as innovations! Globally, we see some countries working well together and others are revisiting how to work well together. Last week a country, which I regard as progressive for a bunch of reasons, decided to send thousands of its citizens for work to the UAE. Open markets visibly personified! More of what I understand as an aspirant startup owner, who opts to remain centered on our business goals for now, is the shift in mindsets for global support. It's refreshing and in many ways hassle free with...
