The Challenges Of Adapting In An Ever-Changing World

The digital age poses a range of both opportunities and threats. One of the biggest challenges Rakesh believes men face today, is the challenge of adapting in an ever-changing world.

He shares, “While all men dream of becoming a “somebody”, those dreams can be easily shattered by the opinions of all of the “nobodies” in the world. So, the biggest challenge ahead for men, is to lead the change and adapt to the speed of growth.” 

A Daily Routine Acts As A Foundation For Growth

Rakesh has developed his own routine which acts as a foundation for his growth, stating “I am grateful to my mentors for introducing me to various routines to help keep my mind, body, and soul in sync.” His routine, which he calls “FORGIVER”, stands for:

• Forgiveness
  
• Oneness (“me” time)
  
• Reconditioning thoughts and beliefs
  
• Gratitude towards what I have
  
• Imagine what the future version of myself looks and feels like
  
• Vivid goals to make life meaningful
  
• Energize, eat and Exercise
  
• Read and reflect

Anchoring into a daily routine such as the above helps you come back to your center, which can be especially helpful when you feel yourself drifting off track, or losing focus and concentration towards your goals.

Success Tips To Live By When Pursuing A Worthy Goal

Success means to take full charge of your own life and live in pursuit of a worthy goal. Rakesh believes successful people live and breath three key elements, which are:

1. The discovery of one’s purpose and passion
   
2. Designing an astronomical vision and path that inspires others
   
3. Driving towards that vision with persistence, resilience and patience 

He shares, “At the beginning, I found it tough to transition from being an employee to an entrepreneur. Over time, I realized it wasn’t about proving myself to others, nor was it about earning money, but more so about becoming my best self and finding something that gives my life meaning and fulfillment.”

The next generation of leaders are making a significant impact in the world, with their courage, willpower and desire to create a new revolution of positive change. It is those who step up to the challenge, despite adversity, who will remain undefeated and leave behind a lasting legacy that future generations can also benefit from.
