Be More Than What You Think You Are

Last year I got 'Skydive' as a gift from two of my close friends. It was on my bucket list and they were kind enough to gift me one of the most amazing experience in my life. Here are few lessons I learnt from my skydive Overcoming Fear : Skydiving pushes you to confront fear head-on. By jumping out of a plane, you realize that fear is often just a barrier in your mind that can be broken, helping you build confidence in other life challenges. Embrace challenges in life, knowing that most fears fade as you move forward. Trust : When skydiving, you must trust your equipment, your instructor, and yourself.

Trust your preparation, training, support systems & people, Living in the Moment : The intensity of freefall forces you to be fully present, an important reminder to be min...

They said all the right things. Then came the classic: 👉 “Let me think about it.” They didn’t say no. But something felt off.

The 12-Week Year is a transformative productivity concept that condenses a year’s worth of goals into 12-week cycles. Its importance lies in its ability to enhance focus, accountability, and results. By shortening the traditional annual planning horizon, it compels individuals and organizations to act with greater urgency and precision. Here’s why it’s important: 1. Sharper Focus: The 12-Week Year forces you to prioritize and set specific, achievable goals for a shorter timeframe. This heightened focus reduces distractions and helps maintain clarity on what truly matters. 2.

You can adjust your goals and strategies more frequently, responding effectively to shifting circumstances and opportunities. 4. Moti...

How Accountability helps you grow to the next level   At Oxygen Mastermind Group, we firmly believe in the power of Accountability and its Impact! What is Accountability? We perceive the powerful concept “Accountability” as a responsibility in multiple ways.
