Ambition is not an issue… Here’s what is.
Recently I saw an Osho quote that said “How to find joy? Let your ambition disappear; ambition is the barrier.”
I humbly and respectfully disagree. There is nothing wrong with being ambitious.
BLOGS
I write regularly. In my writing I explore a range of topics like Identity, Perspective, Transformation, Conscious Authentic Relating. Writing is a tool for me to observe finer distinctions within these realms, which then supports me in my speaking, training, and coaching.
Most of my writing is done right here though you can see an anthology of my published works and how you can purchase them on this page.
“I absolutely love your writing! I feel such resonance in your words because you write from your heart. It's real and a perspective not often publicly shared... I really appreciate that. I always look forward to your posts and I savour them.”
- Louise Vella
"Your authenticity and willingness to seek to arrive at what I see as mature, generous perspectives is a breath of fresh air. It's nice to have someone write about these topics, give a voice to them, normalise them, and seek to make sense of them (and not overanalyse them either)."
- Tim Longhurst
"When I read your writing I feel a sense of acceptance and possibility. It helps remind me how we each perceive things differently and since we're each on our own journeys growing and evolving, we can deepen in love. It's very special."
- Brett Hunt
Are You Willing to Examine What Lies Underneath Your Beliefs
I remember when I was younger I use to love the 4th of July. It was my absolute favorite holiday. I would always dress in red, white and blue. I was extremely patriotic. But that was then, and this is now.
A Shining Example
Last night I got an email from someone that started with “Divya you’re wonderful. Thank you for celebrating what has always felt like others have punished me for” and ended with “I appreciate you so much — thank you for being a shining example of who I want to be — someone who trusts every moment as perfect.” (The middle was subject specific content, unrelated to the purpose of this post).
Selfish & Selfishness
Countless wisdom teachings (the vedas, sutras, tao te ching, etc) emphasise the value of a life lived in service to others.
Often, though, this gets misinterpreted through black and white thinking.
You’re Not Crazy, I Promise
How many times have you heard someone call someone a version of crazy (insane, batshit, lunatic, etc.) because they behaved in a way that simply made no sense to any “sane” person?
The Difference
As part of Your Success Code (YSC) every week I host a group coaching session called Life Labs. The purpose of LL is for all of us to stay curious about the results we’re creating in our lives, week by week. We question “what must I be believing is true for me to be creating that outcome?” This type of brain training, week in and week out, yields profound shifts in thinking.
