💭 From Dreams to Gold Standard🏅

Happy Vasant Panchami, folks! Today is the day when we celebrate the awesome vibes of the onsetting spring. Today we also honour the amazing goddess Saraswati. Vasant Panchami is the beginning of the party for the earth, when it shakes off chilly winter vibes, and gets ready to bloom into fabulous things.

Perhaps, Vasant Panchami is a friendly reminder for all of us that it’s our time to bloom and blossom. But, here’s the thing – blooming isn’t just an on-off switch; it needs a bit of clarity on how to, maybe a framework to crack the code. That’s where our girl Saraswati rocks!

Legend has it, she was just an ordinary gal like any of us, singing in the shower, loitering near the fields, passing time here and there, until the day she cracked the code for a blooming and blossoming life. Word is, she followed the code to the tee, and that turned her into the rockstar of her community. Everyone was like, “Whoa, look at Saraswati! So smart, so knowledgeable, just like a Wow!”

As time rolled on, our girl Saraswati kept getting better and better, to the point where generations started seeing her for what she did so well. She became the Goddess of Knowledge, Speech, Wisdom, and Learning. Imagine that! Now, who wouldn’t want a piece of that code?

So, here’s the deal – let’s dive into what we can call the ‘5 P’s Guide to Blooming’. It’s the blueprint for becoming a superhero. Who knows, maybe one day they’ll be talking about you as the God who cracked the code to an epic life :)!

Plan

Dream Big, Aim High

Alright, buckle up! The first step to epic awesomeness is to dream, think big, and aim high. So, set audacious goals, goals that scare you, and seem like an overreach. Don’t settle for easy ones; for easy goals are just mere targets. Plan what needs to be done in the long-term, in the medium term, and in the short term to achieve audacious awesomeness. Break down those audacious goals into bite-sized targets. Ask well-wishers for help with planning your journey with bite-able & digestible targets. 

Prepare

Luck Favours the Prepared

Now, here’s the truth – things don’t just happen overnight. If they do, well, that’s called luck, and it’s rarer than sighting a unicorn. But guess what? Good preparations can turn luck into a trusted companion. When the clarity of a plan meets preparedness, you begin to roll! Saraswati teaches us to be disciplined, steady, and humble. And if we do so, we’ll surprise ourself in the most difficult of challenges… you will start feeling luckier. 

Present

Show Up and Shine

With preparation in our swing, it’s time to show up and test our preparedness. Be present at every opportunity, on time, preferably early, but never late. Whether you happen to be in the crowd or in the spotlight, be where your preparation gets the opportunity to take action. If you feel like giving up, remember why you started in the first place. Remember your dreams, believe in them, prepare like a pro, and soon your inhibitions will be shown the back door.

Perform

Own Your Stage

Avail opportunities to show your preparedness. Performance is the medium where from our preparedness shines. Be part of the opportunity where your readiness gets wings. Win or lose, Saraswati reminds us to stay calm – celebrate modestly, lose gracefully. But always be present to perform. Stand out and be outstanding because you’re the star of your show!

Peak

Surpass Your Best

Develop a mindset to better your performances with every opportunity. Give your best to surpass the benchmark. Make peaking a habit. Soon you’ll be setting your personal gold standard. Your best today is the benchmark to surpass for the spectacular tomorrow. Be the light for everyone around you.

Re-Plan

Rinse and Repeat

Boom! You’ve bloomed, you’ve blossomed – now what? Take a cue from Vasant Panchami, and our girl Saraswati. Kickstart the cycle again like they do it year after year. Set new goals – this time more audacious, more fulfilling, more scary. Keep evolving, keep growing, because the journey of our life is the quest of realising our true potential.

That’s the Saraswati way, a gold standard to emulate. This Vasant Pachami can we pull off the same magic? Absolutely.
