Talking on leadership reminds me on my trek to BR Hills in Karnataka. As the trek became steeper and steeper, I started breathing heavy and my muscles got tightened.

I was struggling and looking for excuses to stop. Probably to give it up altogether. I looked up and there was a way lot to go. I asked myself, am I helping myself here or sabotaging. Becasue every thought of ‘I can’t’ is like adding extra weight on my shoulders. Say I was adding 5kgs weight on every ‘negative thought’ I entertained.

The I decided to walk forward with a steay goal to reach the hill top but more importantly with a engaged focus on the next 10 metres or so. Once I reached that, it was like throwing a 5 kgs weight off from my shoulders. So as I trekked up, and reached subsequent reach goals, the weight on my shoulders reduced. It made me light and I reached the peak successfully.

That was a big lesson. Think positive. Set your mind on the big picture and the eyes on the rungs.
