Real, risks and important (IM 353)

Nothing is real unless we believe it to be. Risk is only real when we believe it to be. Perception is the filter through which we define our reality, and it is this filter that determines what we fear and what we value.

Similarly, nothing is inherently important unless we believe it to be. We assign weight to events, objects, and people based on our internal narrative. What one person sees as a catastrophe, another might see as a necessary hurdle.

Risk can represent either danger or importance, and the distinction depends entirely on how we perceive it. If we view risk as a threat, we remain stagnant. If we view it as a marker of something important, it becomes a signal for where we should direct our focus. By changing our belief about what constitutes a risk, we change the entire structure of our decision making.

Defining the core values (IM 352)

Core value is the blueprint that an individual or any organization believe and follow. It's reflected in their all works and projects.

Defining core values is important because it gives us the direction and motivates us for future works. It creates the sense of belonging to the employees and also to the customers who use your products.

So, defining core values should be the first thing to do before establishing any companies or organization.

Sticking to your habits (IM#351)

Sticking to a habit every single day can feel incredibly tedious. This is the "boring" part of the process that no one talks about. The challenge is that results rarely show up right away, and this lack of immediate feedback is exactly why most people become disappointed and quit just before the breakthrough.

In the beginning, you are in the "Valley of Disappointment." You are putting in the effort, but the curve of results stays flat. However, you aren't wasting your breath; you are storing potential. Sticking to a habit is a long-term investment that compounds silently.

It might not seem fruitful today, but there is a massive shift waiting for you further down the road. This is where your daily agenda becomes your greatest defense. When you trust the Law of Process, you understand that the "tedious" work is actually the foundation of something big.

Just be patient. Stick to the system. The reward isn't missing; it's just gathering momentum.

The beauty of being present (IM 350)

Being present means being both physically and mentally present. We are physically present most of the time but our mind is busy with something else or somewhere else.

When we control our mind and make it fully present where the body is then things start to change. We see the true beauty of being present. We see happiness, patience, tranquility, love, compassion and fulfillment all around us.

We see openness which gives us the hope that there is no barrier in our way which in result gives us the courage to move forward.

So, being present both physically and mentally worth it.

Busyness doesn't matter (IM 349)

what matters is how productive are you.

Being busy and being productive are very different. Most of us are busy but very few of us are productive.

Being productive is coming up with something on the positive side. Being busy is coming up with nothing but losing the time which is very risky in terms of growth.

SO stop focusing being busy instead be productive.

Establishing your brand (IM 348)

Brand is the story about you, your vision and the thing that you have accomplished as a brand. Establishing a brand is very tough but it is very important to monopolize the market.

Everybody go for the branded products because it belongs to them or it makes them feel that it belong to them. To establish a brand you must make your product/service in such a way that the customer/user feels its their own.

Particularly a brand matters in the developing countries like my own: Nepal. Since the beginning only one of the brand i.e CG Group has monopolized the Nepalese market. To disrupt it or to challenge its market, the new initiation is going on through various sectors including technology, agriculture and tourism. But there are various thing to be considered before going public. It is about the challenges that might be encountered along the way because of the big lobby of CG and its impact on the customers.

The new brand should focus on developing trust. It should include customers' happiness and fulfillment as their priorities. It's goal should be providing a good service or the product not just money.

It means it is possible to establish a new brand in Nepal. It's just the matter of time. A huge thing is coming; all we need is the patience...

Execution is essential. (IM 347)

Ideas are like flames of fire. It flames high when we execute on it and it goes away when we don't execute.

Ideas come and go. It will remain an idea unless we execute on it. Tactics and strategy all are great but nothing surpasses execution: the real work.

So, execution is essential; it keeps us alive.

We're in a disruptive world (IM 346)

We live in a disruptive world. Nothing here lasts long. One thing comes and then something else will overrule it.

That's how it works and has been working...

Uber came and disrupted Taxi and many other transportation companies. Airbnb came and disrupted the big lobby of lodging and tourism companies.

Similarly, crypto-currencies is on the verse disrupting the paper money as whole. Digital wallets are evolving in a rapid pace to overrule banks.

And this all is fair because we live in a disruptive world.

Own your outcomes (IM 345)

There are things in life that are beyond our control, and there are things that remain within it. We cannot control every event, every setback, or every circumstance that comes toward us. But we can still control how we respond, what decisions we make next, and whether we take responsibility for the direction of our lives. Owning our outcomes begins with recognizing that difference.

It is easy to complain about circumstances, bad luck, or other people when life becomes difficult. Blame gives temporary relief because it shifts pressure away from us. But it also weakens us, because the moment we place all responsibility outside ourselves, we give away the power to act. Responsibility is heavier in the short term, but it is also what restores strength. It brings our attention back to the part of life we can still shape.

Owning your outcomes does not mean pretending you control everything. It does not mean denying hardship, unfairness, or limits. It means refusing to live as a victim of every condition. Even when life brings difficulty, we still have choices: whether to learn, whether to adapt, whether to improve, whether to keep moving. That is where agency begins.

When we become accountable for our actions, decisions, and responses, life becomes more honest. We stop wasting energy on excuses and start building something with what remains in our hands. Responsibility may not remove every obstacle, but it gives us a way through them. In that sense, owning our outcomes is not just about success. It is about dignity, strength, and the discipline of facing life as an active participant rather than a passive observer.

Where you stand..? (IM 344)

“Know thyself.” - Inscription at the Temple of Apollo at Delphi

Before a person attempts to change the world, pursue ambition, or build a future, there is a more fundamental task: understanding where they stand. This idea appears repeatedly throughout philosophy because self-knowledge has long been seen as the beginning of wisdom rather than a secondary virtue.

Socrates argued that the unexamined life is dangerous precisely because a person can live according to illusion without realizing it. We often judge ourselves by intention while reality judges us by action. Our habits, reactions, fears, and patterns reveal the structure of the “self” more accurately than our aspirations do. To analyze where we stand is to confront the difference between selfimage and reality.

Existentialist thinkers later pushed this idea further. Jean-Paul Sartre believed that people frequently live in bad faith; avoiding honest confrontation with themselves by hiding behind excuses, roles, or circumstance. In that sense, refusing to assess oneself truthfully is not neutrality; it is avoidance. A person who does not understand their weaknesses, dependencies, or contradictions becomes shaped by them unconsciously.

Even Stoic philosophy begins with this recognition. Epictetus taught that progress starts when a person becomes aware of what is within their control and what is not. Without accurate selfassessment, discipline becomes imitation instead of transformation. A person may desire growth while remaining blind to the very habits preventing it.

That is why knowing where you stand matters. It gives context to ambition and structure to change. When we see ourselves clearly, we begin to understand what we lack, where we are weak, and what must be strengthened. The future becomes more shapeable once illusion stops governing the present.
