Failure is a ruthless teacher. It doesn’t coddle, doesn’t ask for permission, and certainly doesn’t arrive at a convenient time. Yet, for all its brutality, failure is a master sculptor. It chisels away arrogance, exposes assumptions, and reveals truths that success often obscures. My ventures, … [Read more...]
The Rhythm of Greatness: Sprint Intentionally, Rest Deliberately, Win Consistently
Sometimes it takes stepping away from your environment and your routine to truly appreciate the why, what, and how of your own life. As I spend time in India, observing and experiencing the differences, I can’t help but notice the stark contrast in how people approach work, time, and energy. … [Read more...]
Leadership in Crisis: Hope is Not a Strategy
Lately, Canada has been spending a lot of time bracing for impact, caught in the gravitational pull of America's turbulence. I have heard a few folks talk about “coping”, as if endurance is a strategy, as if waiting out uncertainty will somehow lead to stability. But in moments like these, … [Read more...]
I See You. Take Your Time.
We move too fast. Not just in how we rush through our days, but in how we expect things from others - quick responses, immediate results, instant understanding. We measure progress in speed, efficiency, and output, forgetting that real growth, real connection, and real leadership don’t operate … [Read more...]
Alive Doesn’t Mean Awake
Most people don’t notice when they stop living. That’s the tricky part. There’s no alarm that goes off. No one pulls you aside and says, "Hey, you’re just existing now.” You still go to work.

If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society ... then the tolerant will be destroyed, and … [Read more...]
Complaints Are Easy, Change Is Rare
We all complain. About work. About people. About systems. About life. It’s universal. We do it over coffee, in meetings, while scrolling through headlines, or quietly in our heads as we lie awake at 2 a.m. And to be fair, there’s something deeply human about naming what isn’t working.

The Quiet Poison of a Life That Moves Just Enough
There is a kind of life that looks respectable on the surface, even admirable. It’s structured, efficient, maybe even outwardly successful. It makes no noise, causes no trouble, and fits neatly into social frames. But this life - this quiet, competent, slightly ambitious life - can be deadly. … [Read more...]
The Life We Inherit, The Life We Choose
Somewhere between what happens to us and what we make happen, life unfolds. We inherit a world shaped by choices we did not make, but we navigate it through choices that are entirely our own. The interplay of karma and dharma - one handed to us, the other shaped by us - is the quiet tension … [Read more...]
The Vanishing Act of a Life Well-Lived
What disappears with time was never the point - what truly matters is what it leaves behind. In a hundred years, the house I live in - the one I obsessed over, poured my earnings into, made sacrifices for - will belong to someone who never knew my name. They will repaint the walls, tear down … [Read more...]
