How to enjoy Urban world?

Last week I was reading Joyful from writer Ingrid Fetell Lee. I am happy to share some insights which I learn after reading Joyful. Before I begin I first want to introduce you to Fetell Lee.

Ingrid Fetell Lee is a designer and the founder of the blog The Aesthetics of Joy.

Although I am not a designer. I really loved the concepts and idea in her book. You too can find Joy in everything - be it nature, your office space, office building, tube station, park, museum, your own home, trees, urban setup etc.

What she emphasized in her book Joyful is to observe the day to day things and find joy in it.

You can enjoy the beauty of lined up trees of the same size on the sideway walk.
Enjoy the trimmed grasses on your lawn or in the park
Look at the shape of different tiles along the pavement
See the grandeur design of open space in public places such as Train Station, Airport, Museums, Aquarium etc.
When at home, notice how your home interior is structured - TV, Sofa, Bed etc
Find peace when you look at high rise building of different shape making Skyline

In this book - Joyful - tips w.r.t improving home atmosphere were also suggested.

keeping your home clutter-free for the free flow of energy
do not block your living area
do not block entry and exit area of your house
Keep bright colours selection for your home

The key message in the book is to enjoy what you see when you are outside or when you are at home. Enjoy the textures, colours, patterns - symmetrical or asymmetrical and feel joyful.

The message is so profound because we hardly notice these outside things as we have been taught to find joy inside. But real Joy lies in enjoying everything which comes to our observation.

Always find joy at things which is near us and enjoy the beauty of both outside and inside world.

Leadership lesson from Narendra Modi - How he make use of Meaning, Power and Initiative towards achieving the Goal of “Corruption Free India”

#Demonetization is being used as one of the tool by our honorable Prime Minister Shree Narendra Modi towards achieving the goal of Corruption Free India. I would like to highlight how Narendra Modi utilize the strength of Meaning, Power and Initiative (considered as three leadership strength) as a step towards achieving the goal of corruption free India. The #Demonetization initiative by Mr Narendra Modi is a true case study of a successful leader and current or future leaders can learn the usage of these strengths and make use of it in achieving the goal of his or her company or country. Since Independence we are plagued by Corruption in every department of government and a lot of scam has occurred in the past on tax payer money. People were in fear because of this corruption and Narendra Modi like a true leader used this fear as a weapon to define its goal of Corruption Free India and has taken an initiative of #Demonetization which will lead towards that goal.
