Swanand Kelkar on the Importance of Time for Self Discovery & his Second Act

"The biggest tumbling blocks are in your mind and not so much in the actual execution."Such is truth of our existence, to conquer the world we all need to first conquer our own minds. The need to work on ourselves is far superior to anything else, investing time on oneself is a requirement that needs our earnest attention. Stressing this point with much more vigour is the guest of our episode for this week, Swanand Kelkar. An excellent student and an example for all, he spent his childhood so engrossed in books that passions had to take a back seat. It's never too late to start afresh though, and as the aspiration of discovering beyond routine surged within him, he applied for a sabbatical and began his journey towards self-discovery.Humans are not uni-dimensional he says, we are all made of multiple facets and life is all about finding and enhancing our various dimensions. Placing himself in the hardest of situations he has succeeded in gaining internal satisfaction. Taking up diverse, difficult and engaging coaching for an year he now feels no need for an outward stimulus to induce happiness, rather it comes from within. Talking about the domination of internet he feels that platforms like zoom have been a game changer for many dreamers like him, who can now learn whatever they wish while sitting at their homes. A well calculated and planned sabbatical is he says what helped him in being so extremely productive and learn so many things, from learning and practicing yoga, to cooking, to creative writing, to dancing, to playing cricket and so on, feeling much more zener and renewed he's ready now to begin his Second Act 2.0.Let trotting on the path of self-discovery be your #SecondActKey highlights from today's podcast: The act of moving your body in a new way is the road to mental freshness. The more you cling to things, the more insecure you become and the more constrained you live. Decide what you need, a sabbatical or a vacation, before jumping into either one. While it might take some getting used to, there can be nothing more fulfilling than a austere lifestyle.Website: https://thesecondact.in/.Social Media Links -Instagram: https://bit.ly/3AkWwPaLinkedIn: https://bit.ly/3h9t4DTTwitter: https://bit.ly/3yfi8uqFacebook: https://bit.ly/3qEARgaYouTube: https://bit.ly/2X87Jn4.Follow Swanand Kelkar -Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/swa_kelLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/swanand-kelkar-2b91975/Twitter: https://twitter.com/swa_kel--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/iiact/message
