During this time of year – Thanksgiving and Christmas, I like to consciously think about what I am thankful for. I am sharing 3 key aspects of my life that I cannot live without. As you listen, I encourage you to reflect on these same areas of your life and see if you can find gratitude for them. And if that is challenging, then it could be an indicator that it might be time to change a few things. Happy Thanksgiving.

Have you ever taken the time to see where your time goes? We waste time when we don’t consciously spend our time on the things that matter. As we are heading towards the end of yet another year, and another set of New Years resolutions, I recommend taking some stock to check in with ourselves. If we are not spending our time on the things that fulfill us, then we don’t need to set more goals. Lets focus on the quality of our time spend rather than on the things we achieved.

Meet my friend Bipin, author of a beautiful collection of short stories titled Notes of a Mediocre Man. We talked about Bipin’s journey from India to America, touching on topics I as an immigrant relate to as well – loss of home, searching for a new home and forging a new path in a new country. Finally, and after many years of sacrifice, Bipin successfully transitioned from corporate America into his passion of writing, a life that is not without its own challenges. Bipin’s life and stories greatly inspire me and I hope you find this interview just as enlightening.

The people I like are people that I am drawn to because they live the actions, behaviors and words that I also want to live. I look up to them because they set the example for the kind of person I want to be. And those are the people we should surround ourselves with. By spending time with the people we like, we become more like them.
