  • 00:00:12

  • 00:00:16
    my head was anything that flows with
  • 00:00:19
    change is creation because change is the
  • 00:00:23
    only constant change is inevitable
  • 00:00:27
    change messes with our story it picks us
  • 00:00:30
    up from a position and puts us in a
  • 00:00:32
    place where we are both comfortable and
  • 00:00:35
    not that is change and I believe change
  • 00:00:39
    is the Catalyst for
  • 00:00:41
    change I had a long speech ready with
  • 00:00:45
    two pages but one of my friends said
  • 00:00:48
    something to me today and I just
  • 00:00:50
    crumbled that page and threw it away
  • 00:00:53

    the changes that have been happening in
  • 00:02:50
    my life that one story I'm going to
  • 00:02:52
    share it with you all today imagine this
  • 00:02:55
    is your Island this is a small beautiful
  • 00:02:58
    Green Island you live on and across
  • 00:03:01
    ocean there's another lushy Green Island
  • 00:03:03
    you see every single day you come to
  • 00:03:06
    beach to probably collect shells you see
  • 00:03:08
    that beautiful island one day you
  • 00:03:10
    realize that your island is all rotten
  • 00:03:13
    it's it's dtin and if you stay here on
  • 00:03:16
    this island you might die as well the
  • 00:03:19
    only way to get out of that island is to
  • 00:03:22
    swim across that ocean and reach that
  • 00:03:25
    another lushy Island you have been
  • 00:03:27
    seeing every single day the day you are
  • 00:03:29
    ready to dive in clouds come and the
  • 00:03:32
    visibility of the island is zero you
  • 00:03:34
    cannot see that island now there are
  • 00:03:37
    questions in your head should I go
  • 00:03:40
    should I swim should I not because I
  • 00:03:42
    cannot see that Island what should I do
  • 00:03:45
    should I dive in there or no but I have
  • 00:03:48
    a question weren't you seeing that
  • 00:03:51
    Island every single
  • 00:03:52
    day just because your vision is foggy
  • 00:03:56
    right now just because you're not able
  • 00:03:58
    to see that Island right now doesn't
  • 00:04:01
    mean that it does not exist your dreams
  • 00:04:03
    your goals everything is there you just
  • 00:04:06
    have to cross that stream of ocean just
  • 00:04:09
    have to go deep dive into the ocean of
  • 00:04:11
    your thoughts because every single time
  • 00:04:14
    to reach somewhere you have to let go of
  • 00:04:17
    the negativity that is within you this
  • 00:04:19
    story has helped me come out of all the
  • 00:04:23
    changes that has been happening in my
  • 00:04:25
    life and get this perspective get this
  • 00:04:28
    perspective of changing with the process
  • 00:04:30
    and not getting consumed in it I think
  • 00:04:33
    that is exactly what a catalyst would do
  • 00:04:35
    now there's going to be another question
  • 00:04:36
    how do we do
  • 00:04:37
    that how do we not get consumed by the
  • 00:04:40
    process how we stop that Rush of emotion
  • 00:04:43
    that is coming in our head that we are
  • 00:04:45
    feeling in our heart the only way out
  • 00:04:48
    is to surrender to surrender to the
  • 00:04:52
    process yeah to let that sink in to let
  • 00:04:58
    everything come come to you let your
  • 00:05:02
    fear go away let you not be result
  • 00:05:06
    oriented and only action driven that is
