Gita Gyaan :The more things change , more they remain the same

I need a job change : i am fed up of doing the same thing for years
I need city change : this city does not suit me.
I need to change my wardrobe : Its so old looking, un fashionable.

Yet no nobody wants change, we are happy if good things in our life don't change. We dont like surprises, weather, guest, visiting relatives, accidents any univited, unplanned change is not welcome. but yet it happens , factors beyond our control and we adjust.

But when things change our usual first reaction is ,Oh shit !

some 20 years back, somebody senior in the family had given me the wall hangout of Gita saar. it did not make any sense then, but looked nice so i got it framed and keep that as a wall hanging a ready read in my office.

why office ? did somebody ask.

because thats our warzone, karam bhoomi, yudh Kshetra. thats where we do our karma for which we are paid, which gives us material goods to make our life meaningful and happy.

Thats where all the political battles are created and fought. thats where our strength and building, retaining and standing for relationship is tested.
Thats where we get our Krishna's ( guide and mentor), the kauravas ( system and corporate rivals), the dhritrashtras ( management), the bhism ( seniors, influencers but not decision makers, commercial or board of directors) and of course the pandavas ( team ).

The more we try to avoid the above, the more they bother us. It only when we face our fears that we realize that the gyaan was actually practical knowledge.

People are drunk in thier power, power that comes from position, position goes , power goes. what remains is the hangover, headache, vomiting feeling and nauseatac sensation.  best , dont get drunk. the power was not with you , it was the chair. it was there before you came, shall remain after you have long gone. You think its you and thats the high, which gives you the low.

Focus

On your Karma, 
To deliver good leadership , vision to your team. Be the Krishna
To create atmosphere where people can work with peace, goodwill and harmony. Be the Arjun
To drive people to new heights of potential and achievements. Be the Drona.

Only then, you shall be at peace with your self, your growth, your stature, your peers. At peace with yourself. and Hence be happy with what you have, where you are. 

Accept change, Drive Change, Evolve. above all have BELIEF. BELIEF in power of CHANGE !
