Total recall...

I was facilitating a competency progression session for my colleagues - when I recollected the day where I came across someone who asked me four questions which would leave a mark on my life for ever.

It was four years back, I was attending a conference...a conference where it would be strategized - WHAT TO STRATEGIZE !!! Corporate Honchos all around, ties galring to break free from those double brested siuts, mobiles working hard to grab one others attention !!! A strange feel for a person like me who was yet to integrate into the jungle of no-where...CORPORATE !!!

In front of this large contingent of brain oozing people stood a 6'4" hugely built rugby player of the yester years - he had been a pastor too....Lenford Gerber - he was introduced with a fantastic edification by one of my colleagues....while introducing it was mentioned that Lenford could positively impact your life for ever & that if you WANTED to, you will learn WHAT you WANT out of his session....it really dint bother me much...I wanted to learn either ways - I was hungry to know what these corporate animals were made up of. I was waiting - but never knew I was at the wrong place at the right time - because after Lenford asked the group those life transforming questions I did not find a quite corner to just sit around & cry....

Those four questions hit me like a hammer even today - each time I think of.... Lenford named them the "Cross road questions"...but for me they actually built a road of meaning....

Would love to share them in my share space:

1. When is the last time I did something for the first time???
2. How OLD is my attitude???
3. Who am I when no one is watching me???
4. Why am I doing what I am doing???

If you find an answer to these questions - my friend, from this minute your road towards your destiny has started...remember what I always say:

Destiny is not destined - it is - DESIGNED....Chandramoorthy
