How to deal with others

Sumeet Soni Home 1

The problem I have dealtwith all my life is people not being on time, people not prioritizing the right things.

Its crazy to see people suffering for the thigns they themselves did, they ignore their spouse and thenw onder why theyw ent away.

They ignore their children while they are growing up, then later wonder why they dont call them anymore.
This list can get pretty long if I want to.

But how does this help me?

For me the gretatest revelation was to realsie that probably they dont lnow better and probably this is what their life is about and let things unfild as they may.

Because we can never know what kind of a life or dreams others may have and what is important to them.

to end it all.

All that liberated me towards my opinion of opthers, was a realisation that maybe, just maybe,

Others have different priority than me, and I haev to just accept them as they are.

Now when someone is late, I remind myself that I have freedom to walk away, and leave the client, or break the relationship if i Want to, but if this relasitionship is more important to me than my time management skills, ill probably accept them as they are and seldom try to imporve them.

Love

Winter is jere

Sumeet Soni Home 0

Winter is the time when people sleep late, wake up late and hence, the day starts late.

This is a bigger shift than most people realize. 

This impacts your social media engagement.

This impacts traffic on the streets.

this also impacts lunch times and dinner times in restaurants.

We are more than dependent on weather than we realize living in a city.

Weather is important. Earth is important. Lets take care of it better.

First 100s

The most difficult are the first hundreds.

The first 100 thousands

The first 100 customers

The first hundred days after the marriage

And

The first 100 days after someone’s gone.

When we have nothing worth saying

Sumeet Soni Home, Office conversations 0

We always stop ourselves from creating. The whole art of creating is a drag. You think about the art, you think about the implications, you assume about the response you shall get on it.

And then you choose to not create.

Yet. Everyday and each day. Tonnes of instagram posts appear out of the void. Thousands of Facebook videos, and YouTube are uploaded. Not given a single s come thought. People just do things if they can. nothing more. Nothing less.

Yet we all assume that being creative is some mysterious process.

If you ask me, All the art in the world is just work. Simple plain work.

You do what you can and leave everything else to chance.

If you a genius. You creation shows.

If you ain’t. You can’t hide it.

So before you change your mind.

Just pick up the phone and create something beautiful right now.

Doing it matters

Sumeet Soni Home just do it 0

Sometimes we need to just do it.

Most of the time we just wait and never move.

We wonder and evaluate the process till it loses the essence of motivation.

Then we evaluate some further, and now we are scared to even think about the plan.

The idea here is to execute.

Raw, pure execution.

Just doing it.

Then evaluating it.

Then re-engineering it.

Then doing it all over again.

As Nike said it “Just Do It”

Benefits of reconsidering everything

Sumeet Soni Home reevaluate 2

Benefits of reconsidering everything

I am addicted to reevaluating everything.

If you ask my wife, she hates this habit in me.

She hates that every other month I like to sit down and change all the rules, structure, strategy and goals of my business.

And we own 4 business together. Hence I also understand what this would feel like to any stable person.

I on the other hand, love instability. I love chaos. I love to live outside my comfort zone. I love things to be organic. Changing all the time.

But, reevaluating everything has its own unseen benefits.

You see, we human beings evolve, we learn and forget, This happens everyday, constantly, and everyday we all wake up as a new human being.

The old goal doesn’t inspire us anymore, the old strategy doesn’t work with the market anymore, because the competition have caught up and are smarter than yesterday.

Restructuring our goals and visions always keeps us fresh and blooming up with new ideas.

Hence. Stop relying on old goals and strategy you made last year.

Go to your white board now and reevaluate everything your believed in yesterday, and come up with new goals and vision of your current self.

Only then we will be able to stay ahead than everyone else. And only then you shall always stay inspired and motivated.

Love

How comfort screws you over and what to do about it

How comfort screws you and what to do about it a

End of the Year 2017

Sumeet Soni Home happy new year 0

There are lots of things I don’t understand, out of them are memes that talk about how awful the past year was. I first assumed that there are some rare people who made these people who actually had a bad year.

Then I saw my friends and family tagging each other in these random things on social media.

That made me, actually ask people upfront about their review of the year, SHOCKINGLY, most of them graded past year as bad.

This made me think.

Then I recall people calling 2016 bad too, and 2015, and 2014; which made me realise something about people.

I think that people think, life is bad in general. Maybe their life sucks, mine didn’t. OR maybe I have extremely low expectation fom life altogther.

I dont know how, but I had an awesome year.

Started new projects, travelled a lot for business and pleasure, hired few good people in business, did some awesome collaboration, finished couple if courses, upgraded my home, and also the year where I read 52 books.

I don’t know what makes my 2017 the best year, but I feel it had something to do with the way I lived it.

ENough about me, how has your year been like?

 

Regards

SS.

Daily creation – One habit that will change your life

Sumeet Soni Home, Office habits 2

This one habit will change your life. The compulsion of daily creation.
 
Nothing has helped me be more productive than the “daily creation” habit.
 
Our current lifestyle can become too toxic if we are not conscious of it.
 
While we are constantly bombarded with information about business and current affairs of the world, which is what keeps us ahead than our competitors, but we are also constantly consuming unnecessary crap without even thinking about it.
 
Happiness lies in the art of creation – When we create something out of our head and present it to the world to look at.
 
Satisfaction lies in creation.
 
And creation is what we seldom do. 
 
Hence to keep check with myself, I came up with the rule of Daily creation.
 
Every day, I have to create something worthwhile, unless I am done with it, I won’t end my day and go to sleep.
 
On bad days I pick up my phone and write 10 ideas that will make a random product better. As a consultant, this gives me perspective about different industries.
 
On good days, I would have written blog posts, designed jewellery, had productive meetings, took photographs, created business plans and executed them.
 
The objective is that 24 hours should be enough for us to create something that we are proud of, for me this one habit has changed the way I look at time, energy and my day.
 
Try it, this can change your life with least effort and push you in the right direction.
 
This has taught me, time management, priority, art, passion and love for my work.
 
Hope this would help you as much as it helped me.
 
Try small things – 
 
Take a photograph that will help someone else and share it on social media. Make sure the photograph helps someone.
 
Tweet something that you learnt about your city and help others.
 
Write a blog about the new experience you had during your day.
 
Create something at your office, be conscious about helping others. Not selling.
 
Draw something simple.
The objective is to help someone else through your own lense of life. If you achieved it, you have had a creative day and go to rest for the next one.
until next time

What is the true meaning of life – Zen In Art

Sumeet Soni Home zen art 0

Meaning of life – lets deal with the cliche’ and Explore the subject older than humanity.

Happiness and meaning of life

If you start to look at the whole picture at the macro level. The life that we call our own is not entirely ours, everything that we act upon and contemplate about affects everyone we come in contact with.

One thing we can say with certainty is that our life is not independently and entirely ours.

Everything that we act upon and contemplate about affects everyone we come in contact with, hence others importance in our life is established.

I don’t believe that we are here to achieve anything for ourselves. But we are all living for one common goal which is shared with the whole humanity and the cosmos.

The goal is to make the world a better place for each and every living soul. We all feel it inside, we call it the voice of the conscience, we call it god and sometimes we even call it the voice of the soul.

We may plan and consider all we can, but in our heart, we all know that we are bound to our fate and nothing we desire can alter our path. Nothing that we do will ever confirm the outcome of our deeds, doesn’t matter what we wish or desire.

Now, isn’t this simply amazing? we can do and be exactly as we want to and leave all the fruits simply to chance, we may or maybe not become successful, yet we will learn and do all that we love.

We all have learnt this the hard-way, that life doesn’t care about our plans because it has its own plans to fulfil and its own goals to conquer. We are mere pawns in the world which have no kings, no knights nor queens…but mere pawns. We all are pawns and nothing else, no one is above anyone else here..all are just mere pawns…but how is this not the perfect setup?

Let’s for a change celebrate the truth that we all are simply here to be next to each other and help each other out just as we all belong to this large family called Humanity.

Each pawn to help other pawns, we are here to improve others life in whichever way the universe expects desires. Sometimes we know what our path is and sometimes we wonder and walk aimlessly, which eventually leads us to the exact destination where we were supposed to be at that given time.

If this is how the world works and conspires. Why do we fear simply walking towards our goal, and living every moment? Would worrying help? has it ever?

How does it matter if we are concerned or not?

if nothing is in our control, the least we can do is to have fun while walking along the mysterious path of the world around us, without fear or doubts and know that we are exactly where we are supposed to be….

Live for the bigger purpose, live for the betterment of our race. Life then will have its own meaning and its own purpose.

Love life and be whatever we want.
