The Indian leadership scenario is a combination of leaders who are kind-hearted, partiality-based, selfish, authentic, courageous, and organization-oriented. Some of these can affect the individual who is under a leader. If the leader is well structured and has the potential to guide individuals through good and bad uncertainties in the right way while considering the value of each individual's existence, this would be a revolution for every organisation or community.

Indian Leadership

As some leaders lack awareness of human existence for everyone, they tend to just work for their own benefit, which may be a pressure from higher authorities or owners. Overall, this affects the individuals. Most Indian leaders are made under the influence of their hereditary or own willingness. This inheritance can affect a leader in how they guide, react to circumstances, or work, so it's important to make them aware of the importance of life and their decisions.

Examples Of Leaders Drawback

The best example of Indian leadership is politics, where most of them are working to scam more money rather than helping the states under them. The main problem is that they don't have a clear understanding of human existence, how we should be grateful for what we have, and how we can be helpful to others who don't have what we have but just the fad on money. In this regard, incorporating existential psychotherapy into Indian leadership can help individual leaders, starting from the government to each organisation, which could be beneficial for each individual to achieve greater goals.

Politics

Through existential psychotherapy, we can make the leaders aware of life and the meaning that needs to be theirs, not just for themselves but for the individuals under them, which means the existential psychotherapist and the listener are both getting benefits. This can lead to a change in the way leaders treat people and behave with them because they will realise everyone has their own life and life is finite, so we should live with our full authenticity, if not shown to others, at least for ourselves. The decision-making process is enhanced from self-benefit to community benefit.

Impact Of Existential Psychotherapy

The leader will be able to understand that life has meaning in every uncertainty, not just the wins. Existential psychotherapy can even lead so many ruthless leaders to become better than nothing just by changing the atmosphere in which they live by choosing their own freedom. The leaders will be able to develop humility and inner peace through their own strength. By focusing on personal accountability, creating purpose, and accepting the inherent difficulties of leadership, existential psychotherapy helps Indian leaders who are confronting uncertainty become more resilient.

Development

It empowers leaders to face ambiguity head-on, strengthening their ability to overcome obstacles, persevere through hardship, and ultimately produce stronger deliverables and results. Existential psychotherapy can play a vital role in taking the Indian leadership scenario to the next level with the inclusion of Indian beliefs on spiritual existence for the well-being of each individual. Ultimately, the integration of Indian spiritual ideas with existential psychotherapy has the potential to greatly improve the leadership situation.

Uncertainties

Through addressing existential issues and embracing spiritual dimensions, this method cultivates resilient leaders who honestly manage obstacles, align with cultural values, and promote holistic well-being—all of which contribute to an increase in overall effectiveness as a leader.

How far is the Existential Psychotherapy needed in indian leadership scenario

Man is born to conquer nature and not to follow it.

When you think you are a body, you are apart from the universe; When you think you are a soul, you are a spark from the great Eternal Fire; When you think you are the Atman (Self), you are All.

The will is not free - it is a phenomenon bound by cause and effect - but there is something behind the will which is free.

Strength is in goodness, in purity.

The universe is objectified God

You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself.

The root of evil is in the illusion that we are bodies.This, if any, is the original sin.

One party says thought is caused by matter, and the other says matter is caused by thought. Both statements are wrong; matter and thought are coexistent. There is a third something of which both matter and thought are products.

As particles of matter combine in space, so mind-waves combine in time.

To define God is - grinding the already ground; for He is the only being we know.

Swami Vivekananda, the nineteenth-century Indian Hindu monk, is considered one of the most influential people of modern India and Hinduism.

The Sayings and Utterances of Swami Vivekananda

At the heart of suffering lies the mind's attachment to certain things, creating a sense of separation from the greater whole.

The Impact of Mental Clinging on Separation and Unity

In our quest for inner peace, we often gravitate towards actions that momentarily offer a sense of oneness. This pursuit, while seemingly benign, can lead us down the path of addiction. The allure lies in the temporary escape these actions provide from life's complexities. Each indulgence reinforces a cycle, as we increasingly rely on these behaviors to recapture that fleeting feeling of completeness.

Chasing Wholeness

Addictions often follow a predictable pattern: a trigger, such as hunger, leads us to a habitual response, like a quick stop at McDonald's. The immediate gratification is followed by a wave of regret. To break this cycle, awareness is key. It starts with identifying triggers and acknowledging the automatic responses they evoke.

Breaking the Cycle

The key is to seek comprehensive approaches that focus on underlying issues rather than just the symptoms. True healing involves developing coping mechanisms and resilience, ensuring that the solution doesn't become a new crux of dependency

The Trap of Replacement: When Solutions Become Addictions

Falling back into old habits isn't a sign of failure, but a part of the human journey. Recognizing this helps us avoid self-blame, which is unproductive and demoralizing. Instead, acceptance is crucial. When we acknowledge a lapse without judgment, we create space for positive action. Redirecting our energy towards constructive activities like meditation, reading, or exercise can be immensely beneficial.

Embracing Setbacks

I believe we've all experienced some form of addiction, and gaining a better understanding of how to effectively cope with it would be ideal!

The Love Serve Remember Foundation (LSRF) is dedicated to preserving and continuing the teachings of Neem Karoli Baba and Ram Dass. The foundation facilitates the continuation of these teachings through online courses, blog content, films, podcasts, social network channels and collaborative projects with conscious artists and musicians. To learn more or support, please visit https://www.ramdass.org/

Ram Dass (born Richard Alpert; April 6, 1931 – December 22, 2019), also known as Baba Ram Dass, was an American spiritual teacher, guru of modern yoga, psychologist, and writer. His best-selling 1971 book Be Here Now, which has been described by multiple reviewers as "seminal", helped popularize Eastern spirituality and yoga in the West. He authored or co-authored twelve more books on spirituality over the next four decades, including Grist for the Mill (1977), How Can I Help? (1985), and Polishing the Mirror (2013).

Ram Dass was personally and professionally associated with Timothy Leary at Harvard University in the early 1960s. Then known as Richard Alpert, he conducted research with Leary on the therapeutic effects of psychedelic drugs. In addition, Alpert assisted Harvard Divinity School graduate student Walter Pahnke in his 1962 "Good Friday Experiment" with theology students, the first controlled, double-blind study of drugs and the mystical experience. While not illegal at the time, their research was controversial and led to Leary's and Alpert's dismissal from Harvard in 1963.

In 1967, Alpert traveled to India and became a disciple of Hindu guru Neem Karoli Baba who gave him the name Ram Dass, meaning "Servant of Ram," but usually rendered as simply "Servant of God" for western audiences. In the coming years, he founded the charitable organizations Seva Foundation and Hanuman Foundation. He traveled extensively giving talks and retreats and holding fundraisers for charitable causes in the 1970s, 80s, and 90s. In 1997, he had a stroke which left him with paralysis and expressive aphasia. He eventually grew to interpret this event as an act of grace, learning to speak again and continuing to teach and write books. After becoming seriously ill during a trip to India in 2004, he gave up traveling and moved to Maui, Hawaii, where he hosted annual retreats with other spiritual teachers until his death in 2019.

Break the Cycle of Addiction - Ram Dass

There is nothing like looking, if you want to find something. You certainly usually find something, if you look, but it is not always quite the something you were after.

May the wind under your wings bear you where the sun sails and the moon walks.

Where there's life there's hope.

I have found that it is the small everyday deed of ordinary folks that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love

There is more in you of good than you know, child of the kindly West. Some courage and some wisdom, blended in measure. If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world

The movie has healed many of us for sure.  Here are Some of the most inspiring quotes and lines from the movie to remember. N

I think some people are afraid of having their own idea. That might be because their ideas might be wrong or they might have arguments because of their ideas. I understand them but I also know that it's not the best way

For Who Are Afraid 

Your idea might be wrong and some might not like your idea but that's not only about your idea but also every other ideas. So don't be afraid of it

Having An Idea

Yes, you can be wrong still. So you always need to examine your idea over and over. And having an argument is a good thing because you can learn from it. You might think your idea is wrong in some parts. Then change your idea! Always be open minded with every idea.

But What If I'm Wrong

We were stars that collided, destined to die, Yet in that beautiful crash, scars etched on high."

Love's Final Dance

Don’t be so quick to throw away your life. No matter how disgraceful or embarrassing it may be, you need to keep struggling to find your way out until the very end.

Remember, you have comrades. Us, who will support you with the things you can't do all by yourself. That's what a team is about, Commander Undine.

There's a certain person I want to protect...no, I just want to stay by her side. That is why I want to have enough power to make her not worry about me anymore, and if possible, enough power to save that person.

I already lost this life. I do not intend to stretch it out at the cost of my honor.

It’s hardly profound. The reason is very simple: I’ve found a reason to live. From now on, I’m going to live for the girl.

I think that this manga  really shows how you can have  main female characters that are simply badass! A great show that i would recommend!

Project Management is based on understanding and organizing your team's tasks which, as you might imagine, are numerous and often complex.To address this, at the Paperless Movement® we've created the "Output Elements", a set of objects to help you streamline these tasks.

"Unlock the Full Potential of ICOR® Output Elements for Flawless Project Management"

The Output Elements come in two primary categories: actionable and non-actionable.The actionable ones demand execution, while the non-actionable enhance organization and clarity.

Actionable vs. Non-actionable

The only actionable Output Element in ICOR® is the "task".Tasks range in duration from 15 minutes to 3 hours.They could even be under 15 minutes. It’s what we call a “speedy”, a concept we explain further in our <a href="https://paperlessmovement.com/task-management-course/">“Task Management like a Pro!”</a> course.

ICOR® Actionable Output Elements

Every task should start with an action verb like Create, Design, Write.This ensures clarity and motivation, setting a clear outcome expectation. For complex tasks, break them down into sub-tasks.This maintains clarity and ensures each step aligns with the overall goal.

Dealing with Tasks

ICOR® non-actionable Output Elements are:<ul><li>Goals</li><li>Projects</li><li>Workstreams</li><li>Operations</li></ul>They help group tasks, keeping them aligned with overarching goals for strategic progress.

ICOR® Non-actionable Output Elements

Goals in ICOR® are more than targets; they're directional paths ensuring adaptability and focus in your project management system.Projects encapsulate specific activities with set timelines.Workstreams handle ongoing tasks.Operations cover unique tasks like admin duties.

Goals, Projects, Workstreams, and Operations

ICOR® structures Output Elements hierarchically:<ul><li>Level 1: Goals</li><li>Level 2: Projects, Workstreams, Operations</li><li>Level 3: Tasks.</li></ul>This hierarchy optimizes management and execution. See full article <a href="https://paperlessmovement.com/articles/unlock-the-full-potential-of-icor-output-elements-for-flawless-project-management/">here</a>.

Mastering Project Management

As the curtain falls on 2023 and we prepare for a brand New Year, it’s time to consider your goals and what to expect from 2024.Maybe last year wasn’t the greatest. Perhaps you haven’t achieved much of what you expected. But this time, it will be different. You are the unsung hero of the story of your life. And you are only armed with a cup of ambition (and maybe a slice of holiday pie). You are facing the crossroads between “ This Year I Will ” and “ Where Did I Spend All This Time? ”. And the only thing you are missing is a fellow traveler and guide.

How to Set Up Perfect Life Goals

But fear not! Here I am. In this guide, we’ll navigate together the territories of your aspirations, values, and adaptability. And we will see how to write goals you can finally achieve. Welcome to my 7-step guide on how to set life goals for the New Year: 2024 edition. Let’s make this the year the one even your future self will high-five you for!

How to Set Up Goals in 7 Simple Steps

You are reading an excerpt from <a href="https://cosmopolitanmindset.substack.com">The Challenge</a>, a newsletter where I discuss self-improvement, goal-setting, habits, time management, and health tips and tricks.Every week you will get:<ul><li>a challenge to pursue to improve your life</li><li>an infographic to track it.</li></ul><a href="https://cosmopolitanmindset.substack.com/subscribe">Subscribe now</a> to help me continue publishing this type of content.

The Challenge

Any voyage needs some preparation before you start. And this is no different. On the contrary, you will probably fail most of your goals if you don’t prepare properly. So, start with a session of reflections on the past year.How did your goals go in 2023? Let me know in the comments! I already wrote a post on how to <a href="https://cosmopolitanmindset.substack.com/p/how-to-rate-your-goals-at-the-end">rate your end-of-year goals </a>last year. So, I won’t dive into this too much. But take a few hours to evaluate your accomplishments and challenges from the previous year. And identify what worked well and what could be improved.

How to Set Up Better Life Goals for 2024

A hero is nothing without core values that define his actions. So you better find yours to achieve all your goals next year. (Finishing them all will indeed make you a hero.) Yet, long-term goals require more than self-control, motivation, and consistency only. They have to align with your core values. Otherwise, you won’t meet any of those requirements. <ul><li>Write a list of values and beliefs. </li><li>Think about what matters most in your life. </li><li>Imagine your life five years in the future. </li></ul>

1 – Define your values.

You can write a potential list of goals for the next year and brainstorm everything you wish to accomplish. In this phase, there’s no need to think about a plan to achieve everything you want. But prioritize goals based on their importance and feasibility. And if you still need a method, the <a href="https://cosmopolitanmindset.substack.com/p/discover-your-life-priorities">25/5 advice from Warren Buffet </a>can help you understand which goal matters. <ul><li>Which things do you wish to accomplish next year? </li><li>Are they doable? </li><li>Do they matter, or are they just temporary greed? </li><li>Will they improve your current situation? </li></ul>

2 – Brainstorm and prioritize.

“ Oh no, here it comes! ” – you may think. And you would be right. S.M.A.R.T. goals again? Well, yes. But there’s a reason why everyone in the personal growth industry suggests writing them.Poorly written goals are hard to accomplish. You might already know that. And one good way to make perfect goals is to follow the pattern.

3 – Write S.M.A.R.T. Goals (1)

Here’s a short recap if you have never heard about it.<ul><li>S – Your goals must be specific and focus on a limited field. </li><li>M – You need measurable goals to track your progress. </li><li>A – Achievable goals are challenging but not impossible to reach. </li><li>R – Then, your goals must be relevant. They have to focus on your purpose and values. </li><li>T – And they must be time-bounded. Otherwise, you will keep working on old goals forever and never achieve anything. </li></ul>When writing your definitive goals, keep this pattern in mind. And improve them with any missing parts.

3 – Write S.M.A.R.T. Goals (2)

If you still can move after grandma’s third pie, it’s time to build an action plan for your goals.First, break down each of them into actionable smaller steps. You can use monthly or semestral milestones, for example. Then, give a deadline for each micro-goal. <a href="https://cosmopolitanmindset.substack.com/p/hope-vs-action-unleash-your-potential">Deadlines make you accountable </a>and help you replenish motivation as you approach them. <ul><li>Split your new year goals into 12 or 4 milestones. </li><li>Set a deadline for each milestone. </li><li>Set a check-in session for each milestone to review your goals and adjust your aim or strategy for the following period. </li></ul>

4 – Create an action plan.

I’ve always tried to set challenging goals because I overestimate my capacities. But as I failed, I learned a few things. Here’s what I know now.<ul><li>Never set goals during a high score.</li><li>Also, never set goals when you are in the dumpster. The negative bias makes you create goals that are too easy. </li><li>When you set a goal for something new, play carefully. Lower the expectations because you will experience many setbacks. </li><li>And don’t try to improve your last performance by more than 30%. </li></ul>Frustration will force you to give up when you set too challenging goals. So it is way better to play safe.

5 – Stay realistic.

When I started writing online, I kept everything to myself because I was afraid. It was my first time writing in English, and my sentences were terrible. (Please, don’t tell me they are still the same.) Since I wasn’t sharing my goals with anybody, I was justified in failing them. I could find whatever excuse I wanted, and it was easy to escape bad feelings . But you have to feel the social pressure if you want to reach your goals . So, share them with your family, friends, and mentors (here’s <a href="https://www.cosmopolitanmindset.com/how-to-find-the-perfect-mentor-to-help-improve-your-writing-skills/">how to find one </a>). Establish accountability.

6 – Establish accountability. (1)

The next time you want to quit, you will have reputation repercussions. So you will think twice about it.<ul><li>Share your goals with other people. </li><li>Plan regular check-ins with them to build social pressure. </li><li>Use your accountability partners for support and motivation. </li></ul>

6 – Establish accountability. (2)

I’ve built this newsletter on the concept of tracking your progress. So, what would this guide be without this step?I don’t know how you feel about it. But for me, tracking progress is the quintessence of reaching goals. There’s a hidden power I cannot explain with words. But a growing streak can motivate you more than anything else. It gives you a rush of dopamine you cannot find elsewhere. And you cannot ignore it.

7 – Track your progress. (1)

<ul><li>Use a journal, spreadsheet, goal-tracking app, or infographic to track your progress. </li><li>Celebrate small victories for every milestone you reach. </li><li>Challenge yourself to get to the longest streak possible. </li></ul>

7 – Track your progress. (2)

I guarantee you will write perfect goals for the next year if you follow these seven steps. However, I would like to add one last thing.Never stop experimenting. It’s impossible to think about all the variables that impact your life in one year. You can’t predict everything. But don’t give up if something happens and you think you cannot reach your goal anymore. Resize it and keep working. The same goes for goals that are too easy. You still have six months left if you reach your goal by the middle of the year. Will you just wait for the end of the year?

How to Adjust Your Goals

As we approach the end of 2023, you must set new goals for the new year. But that’s harder than you might have thought. But you can create perfect goals if you answer seven simple questions.<ul><li class="ql-align-center">What are your values?</li><li class="ql-align-center">What priority do you want to give to each of your dreams?</li><li class="ql-align-center">Did you create S.M.A.R.T. GOALS?</li><li class="ql-align-center">What is your action plan?</li><li class="ql-align-center">Are you realistic?</li><li class="ql-align-center">Does somebody know about your ambitions?</li><li class="ql-align-center">Do you track your progress?</li></ul>[<a href="https://cosmopolitanmindset.substack.com/p/7-simple-steps-to-set-life-goals">DOWNLOAD</a> THE FREE INFOGRAPHIC]
