Free Chapter ― Professor M.S. Rao’s Upcoming Book “Spiritual Leadership: Stop Existing and Start Living”
Dear friends,
I am excited to share with
you that I authored a book on spiritual leadership and life leadership. It is
tentatively titled, “Spiritual Leadership: Stop Existing and Start Living.”
Here are the details about the book with a free chapter. I would appreciate if
you could share your thoughts about this book on social media channels
including Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google+.
About The Book
“Don’t ask what the world
needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world
needs is people who have come alive.” ―Howard Thurman
This book unveils the secrets
to unlock the power of mindfulness to excel as a mindful leader. It helps you
to stop existing and start living by identifying what makes you come alive. It
offers spiritual strokes to lead a happy and meaningful life. It outlines tools
and techniques to conquer the fear of unknown and overcome emotional baggage.
It explains rewiring your brain to be positive and resolving the conflicts
amicably. It unfolds that everything happens for a reason and implores you to
work for a cause, not applause. It enlightens that life is a train, not a
station. It concludes to live your life on your own terms to provide meaning to
your life.
This book is a short course
on spiritual leadership. You can easily toss the book into a briefcase or purse
and read here and there as time allows. It is a quick reference guide for all
spiritual seekers, masters, healers, learners and leaders.
“There is no greater gift you
can give or receive than to honor your calling. It is why you were born and how
you become most truly alive.” — Oprah Winfrey
People are born and dead
everyday but we remember only a few leaders including Mahatma Gandhi, Martin
Luther King Jr, Mother Teresa, and Nelson Mandela. What made them stand out
from others? What made them live beyond their lifetime? It is because they
identified what made them come alive to provide meaning to their lives. They made an immense difference to the world
without expecting anything from others. We will discuss what makes people come
alive to provide meaning to your life.
Existing
versus Living
There is a thin line
separating existing and living in this world. When you lead a scheduled life,
you exist in this world like anybody else. In contrast, when you lead an adventurous
life by exploring and experimenting, you live in the world unlike others. When
you exist, you spend your time whereas when you live, you invest your time.
When you exist, you emphasize status quo whereas when you live, you emphasize status
quo ante. When you exist, you lead
conventional life whereas when you live, you lead an unconventional life with
highs and lows. When you exist, you live
in your comfort zone whereas when you live, you live in your effective zone.
When you exist, you don’t exploit your full potential whereas when you live,
you exploit your full potential. When you exist, you make limited mistakes, learn
limitedly and remain as an ordinary person whereas when you live you make more
mistakes, learn greatly and excel as an extraordinary person and leader.
Tips
to Come Alive
To come alive, you must follow
your passions. You are gifted with only one life. When you follow your
passions, you don’t know how you spend your time because you enjoy doing every
moment of your life. Hence, follow your heart, identify your core talents and
build skills around them. Here are some
tools and techniques to come alive to provide meaning to your life.
- Avoid toxic people and
friends. Surround with people who spread positivity, happiness and joy.
- Avoid badmouthing others.
See good in others and appreciate them to elevate their energy levels.
- Let go off your
unpleasant. Learn to live in the present instead of brooding over your
unpleasant past and worrying about future which cannot be predicted.
- Forgive the people who
let you down. Be compassionate.
- Have the attitude of
gratitude. Thank God for what you have. Avoid complaining, criticizing and
condemning.
- Help people. It gives
you immense happiness and joy.
- Travel different places
to interact with different people and understand them. Additionally, you
enjoy nature and unwind yourself. You may acquire new ideas to explore and
experiment. Paulo Coelho authored the book ‘The Alchemist’ based on his experiences
while traveling.
- Build your network of
friends to share your emotions and feelings and to listen to them and
respect theirs. It gives you great comfort and solace.
- Avoid complexity. Make
things simple and straight. Steve Maraboli remarked, “Free yourself from
the complexities of your life! A life of simplicity and happiness awaits
you.”
Mentor
to Make a Difference
Serving students and sharing
knowledge free with the world makes me come alive. I enjoy doing it in spite of
not earning any money from it because I am making a difference to the world.
Similarly, find out what makes you come alive in this world to provide meaning
to your life.
Identify the talents, skills
and potential in people and encourage them to utilize. Most Nobel Prize winners
ascribe their success to their mentors and teachers who identified their
strengths and inspired them to dream big. Hence, become a mentor to make others
come alive and make a difference.
Life
is a Train, not a Station
We often hear that life is a
journey and we must enjoy every moment of it rather than worry about the
destination. It is a fact that everyone intends to reach their destination, but
they sacrifice their present moments by thinking about the future. In a similar
context, life is a train, not a station. When you think of only station you are
confined to a particular moment of your life, not the life. The collection of
stations becomes the process of train journey complete. You don’t know when you
will step down from the train forever.
You are born to your parents
and you will be supported by them and your friends. You will meet strangers and
known people in each station. Some will step down from the train while some
will enter into the train. Remember that you are born alone and die
alone. Hence, do good to others; make others comfortable and happy; and make a
difference to the world to leave your legacy to your next generations. Life is
great!
Conclusion
Don’t act as per the script
written by others. Write your own script in which you are the actor, director
and producer. Life is a precious gift. Enjoy it. You cannot travel back to your
history. Hence, enjoy every moment of your life journey. Find out what makes
you come alive. Be a giver. Add value to others. Make a difference in the lives
of others to live beyond your lifetime.
