I totally resonate with you. I have been learning immensely from nature, from biographies of people. Calling naysayers as disguised angels is awesome. They trigger us, but the positive side of that, is we take actions much faster and get moving on things we would otherwise take our own sweet time to do. Thank you for this podcast
Awesome, Vidya!
10 different places to find lessons and learn from:
activate your reticular activation system
when you know what you really want you’ll see the opportunities right in front go your eyes. Decode the essence of what ever you encounter in your own life
1) Out of nature- park, beach, wilderness, garden etc. Inventions are adaptations of natural phenomenon
2) From your mistakes: break the pattern of repeated mistakes, be a one mistake learner
3) learn from other people’s mistakes-pull out patterns and document ideas
4) Reverse mentoring: learn from your kids while you are teaching them
5) From your colleagues: your peers, see what they’re doing, how are they improving, take lessons
6) Public places: airport, bus stand, mall, the street. be receptive to your surroundings and how things are being done.
7) Pull lessons out of your disguised angels in your life: people who trigger you, who put you down and naysayers, they strengthen your resilience
8) Courses: online and offline
9) YouTube Videos
10) Blogs from sources like Medium
Bonus: From podcasts
3 actions that I will take from this:
1) Be more regular on medium, create and consume
2) Pay more attention to my surroundings
3) Document things as and when they happen and try to analyse for ideas.
Cheers!!!

10 different places to learn from
First is nature: Go to a park, to the mountain for a few days
Greatest inventions are derived from nature
So many examples, ships are created, airplanes built
Observe and model, integrate and create something new
Second, from your own mistakes: Make a whole list of mistakes
Break the pattern of making mistakes, pull lessons from mistakes
Smarter thing is the third one: Learn from other people’s mistakes
Study and analyze others, pull out patterns, identify their mistakes
Fourth, learn from children: They are now more evolved, there is so much to learn from them
Help children become creators and coaches
They are Gen Z and they are in tune with nature
Fifth, learn from colleagues: There is no competition, observe how they improve and adapt best practices
Sixth, learn from public places: Markets, malls, magazines, marketing materials, offers, structured headlines, special offers
Superb ideas to learn from, pick up lessons from anything
Look around, observe billboards, big brands’ activities, be receptive and decode the wealth of research available
Be smart enough to analyze and become an analyst
Seventh, pull lessons from disguised angels: They come into your life to trigger and induce some pain, helping you level up your program
These people are necessary for growth
Eighth, pull lessons from courses: Join my community
Ninth, learn from videos, learn from podcasts
Tenth, learn from blogs, like Medium.com: Skim through high-quality content, learn copywriting
So, you can pull out lessons from anywhere. Be more receptive.
Summary of all 10 points:
Nature: Spend time in parks and mountains, where many great inventions find inspiration.
Learn from your own mistakes to break the pattern and extract valuable lessons.
Study and analyze other people’s mistakes to identify patterns and avoid similar pitfalls.
Learn from the wisdom of children, who are more evolved and in tune with nature.

• Lessons are present in our very own life if we can mindfully observe. Everything and everyone has a lesson to teach from family, and colleagues to disguised angels to magazines, blogs, and courses.
• What are the habitual mistakes we are doing, what are the mistakes others are doing is a great way to stop ourselves from repeating them.
• Nature and young kids have information in the purest form if we can keep an open mind to learn.
The top 3 actions would be to
1. Active RAS consciously
2. Practice mindful observation
3. Reflect on your own and others’ mistakes and learn from them.

Acknowledging that each one of them has contributed significantly to the emotional resilience i’ve been able to build and staying on my path of being a conscious creator of my reality.

I lost my mother 19 days back, i was sharing my emotions and was angry with my brother for not owning any responsibility in arranging for the entire 14 days of rituals and the monthly rituals. i said the financial arrangements have to be done. I arranged for 14 days of rituals, my son who has just completed 1 st year of degree, said amma take my 10,000 and make what is possible and let Maama uncle own the responsibility for the remaining, if you make the arrangement, I will not bother
Thanks for sharing your story with us Meena. I’m sorry for your loss. Wishing you only the best!

More power to you, Piyali!
1. Today I had lots of learning from the Webinar I conducted after a gap of more than a month and that too without practicing the sales Pitch . Few technical glitches from Zoom, The tweaking of all Landing Pages , Redoing all the Facebook ads and checking for their performance took up all my time last week , which left me with no time to practice and without proper sleep the energy dropped which made me nervous .
Lesson 1 .Dont depend on past success. Practice alone can give perfection. you , and have plan B ready at all times
2. I do learn from Medium and also write . Not been able to be regular , but will be regular from now on
3 From Experts : I just love the sessions in the Hives now and have been inncorporatin them
These are amazing insights, Gita.
I totally agree on sid what you have stated here. we all can so many things from what is happening around us
I love spending time at my Park listening to the senior citizens about their life experiences in different phases of life. I try to do this practice with both of my sons so that they also should know and relate with the era of the ’60s, ’70s, ’80s, and so on. Through this, I am being able to connect them with those stories and pasts which are so difficult to be seen by a new generation.
My actions are:
– Connect with nature the way honey bees do to create better, real, and ideal ecosystems around.
– Keep an eye open when you are in our marketplace to grab creative, meaningful, and innovative ideas for your branding and marketing.
-Make the best use of the resources that exist within your family, friends, and relatives to transform you and your outcomes.
