In the parlance of Balanced Scorecard, thrill and skill appear to be lead indicators to one's drill and, in turn, one's life purpose. In my last post, I had spoken about my self discovery of making connections as my thrill.
In September 2011, I attended a retreat, "Happiness Habits" by Nithya Shanti. One of the exercises in that retreat was to focus on one quality that we wish to manifest in our lifetime. I chose 'oneness'.
It is fascinating how this quality of oneness seems to link up to my earlier stated thrill of 'building connections' and some new found perspectives.
For example, building external connections is a sure way of creating one large 'collective' - a oneness. I also realized that, in many ways, people whose behaviors i seem to abhor in life actually represent unhealed parts of me. If truly i am divine, then i have all aspects and facets to myself. If I positively hate in case someone comes late, it means that there is a 'shadow' in me, that part of me which may not mind being late and i have not accepted that part of myself and fully integrated it within me.
In other words, my journey of oneness has all those as my big teachers in whom i don't like something. How wonderful.

Redefining my Tresonance
This is indeed an interesting journey. The definition of Tresonance is absolute but the components are dynamic, unfolding and enriching with life's experiences.
I have been sharing in the past that my 'thrill' is about spreading knowledge and how this phrase also evolved from the earlier one of 'teaching'.
Over the last two years spent in Prerna Centre of Learning, I have begun to sense another unfolding of my thrill.
Over these years, i realize that i have either established social e-networks or have been a part of them. My school (where 150 out of my class of 200 are e-connected today), parents of my daughter's school, members of my sub functional teams in my previous company (Bharti Airtel) are some examples of the networks that i have established or co-created whilst i am a part of at least another half a dozen.
During 2009, I was able to participate in the creation of ChittaSangha, a Consciousness Collaborative of facilitators who are focused on a shared purpose of building 'conscious' individuals and organizations. This collaborative will become a serious catalyst in helping build 'conscious' corporations that are responsible and live in harmony with their environment.
These examples are not of an ego trip but of a discovery i am making about my thrill. Which I am realizing is about building and deepening 'connections' - building these networks and spreading knowledge, ideas and inspirations through these 'channels' seems to be a more complete description of my thrill now.
Over the last 9 months, I have been pursing a course in Indian Psychology offered by the Indian Psychology Institute, that operates under the patronage of Sri Aurobindo's Ashram, Pondicherry. This course has played a catalytic role in my personal transformation journey and my heightened understanding and unfolding of my thrill and skill.
I see 2010 as a defining year for organizations and institutions in their evolutionary journey, and more so for my own personal journey, aided with a richer understanding of and deepening connection with, my own self.

Love what you do OR Do what you love?
As i crossed the magic age of 50, this has been a key question with me. Many of us get trapped in our pay packets and ambitions. We also rationalize that it is possible to love what you do.
I agree but only up to a point. I have been through situations in life where i could love what i was doing but i figured that it just did not match up to the spark of moments when i was doing what i loved.
Each one of us has a responsibility to discover our unique potentiality and area of contribution ideally suited to accelerating the evolution of our planet. I understand today that anything i do must have people, alignment and change at the heart of it. Softer areas of organization and people development are more energizing than the hard world of numbers and processes. Those are also important but there is more to life even in an organization that we must uncover.
This realization will guide my future choices for sure.
But I urge each one of you to take time out to unravel what your thrill and skill areas are. Go and ask your friends, parents and your colleagues and bosses. They will tell you. You will also know through reflection what these are.
And then look at making conscious choices to align your 'drill', your 'work area', to these.
It will be tough to give up all that has defined you so far but, in the long run, you would have done yourself and this universe a favour
