This is my hundredth post. I started writing on Jan 22. When I did, I had only one goal, to write. To write, in order to overcome the fatigue and my inability to work. I did not know what was behind those challenges. In February, even after my treadmill ultrasound test, nothing was conclusive. They told me that I had a strong heart and there was a little bit of murmur which necessitated an angiogram. And the rest is history as my whole life has changed in these last 100 days.

As I look forward to the next 100 days, I know that these days are going to be instrumental in where my life goes from here. Of course, I take the patterns of learnings from my past and these go along with me for a ride. I would obviously leverage these learnings and knowledge in order to survive as I can’t really start from a clean slate. However, I also come with the baggage of the past - the ones I would rather give up and give away, and yet I can’t or unable to. Not yet anyway.

My life has been a story of what I dreamt of it to be and the gap between that dream and its execution. My execution and action often fell short of what was required. There was always and is a gap between the things that I want to do, the things that I able to do, and the things that I really get to do in actuality.

So, here is what I see for the next 100 days…

• Kick start my health back to a workable state

• Get back to some productive work leveraging my skills, knowledge, and experiences. This has been an area of great despair for me as a change agent. I don’t believe what the market wants me to do as a coach, is worth my time and theirs. So, the trick is to look for opportunities where clients badly want it, so that I can help them with it.

• Translate my life to act where it is required. Learn to quickly get mundane and repetitive out of my way, so I can focus the energies on creating something of value. Expand these daily posts which only focus on random musings into some structured niche thoughts that help a certain demographic or target segment with solving real and pressing issues.

• Let go and kick off some of the baggage that holds me down. Much of it is mental and imagined, but hey that is the human problem - we are what we believe in, true or not.

• Act on impact. I teach focus on impact and that is true for me too. I am going to work on creating impact in whatever I do, not go after the run-of-the-mill and the low-value add. And show and it is done.

And most importantly I would like to close with lots of thanks to you. Thanks for being there in my ride so far. It is much appreciated. I hope I have something better to offer every day in my stories as I evolve and restart myself over the next 100 days.
