My 8Ps of Happiness in 2022!

Being a person in branding and marketing, I typically think in Ps. So it's no different when it comes to happiness. I think there are 8Ps that lead to happiness and I intend to follow them this year.

1. Pray: I think it's a no brainer that the more advanced we are getting as a civilization, the more out of control we seem to be getting. So the only force we can rely on is the almighty. He will guide and protect us. I want to be thankful for His divine grace.

2. Physique: The body is the home we have on this earth. For too long, i have taken it for granted. It's high time I start taking good care of it. Follow some exercise and live a healthy life.

3. Passion: The COVID has taught us that life is full of uncertainties. I want to live every moment from now on with passion. And do things that I enjoy doing, as much as I can.

4. Purpose: This year, I want to focus on finding my Ikigai seriously and try to look for divine guidance to live on that path

5. People: The people in our lives are so important. Some give us happiness and others a lesson. I want to try and learn something from everyone around me. As everyone we meet has something to teach us.

6. Possession: I want to try and adapt to a minimalist lifestyle. Focus less on consumption and more on contribution to the planet and the communities I am part of. Focus on possessions that will stay with me till the end.

7. Places: There are so many beautiful places on this planet. I want to travel more and see more places starting this year. So that I am closer to nature and enjoy being close to the creations of mother earth.

8. Positivity: Last but not the least. I want to try and focus on the positive in every situation. Be a carrier of the posivity virus that spreads around freely.

I know I may not achieve everything on the list. But I want to consciously try and get better at following the 8Ps so that eventually with passing time, I'm able to find my Ikigai and live a more fulfilling and rich life as time goes by.

You complete me!

Just as the birds are happiest when their wings kiss the sky Just as the babies sleep blissfully Listening to their mother's lullaby You complete me Just as the butterflies blissfully suckle at the flowers Just as the lovers stare at the window of their love for hours You complete me Just as the earth devotedly revolves around the sun Just as the seven colours in sunlight Become one You complete me You are the poetry my soul has been seeking for years Your laughter and smiles brings me Fresh happy tears Together we are complete and strong Together we can make right all that's wrong You complete me Be with me forever till I'm alive Breathe with me & never leave my side Complete my life and stay in there forever fill my soul with happiness and pride You complete me

The power of hope

In my view, the gift of hope is the greatest gift mankind has with it. Every achievement no matter how small starts with this ability of ours - hope. And from hope arises the second gift we have - trust It's a combination of hope and trust that actually runs this world. When we get into a plane and are flying in the air with no safety net whatsoever, hope that we will be safe and the trust that a few of our species namely the engineers and pilots and even the person filling the fuel in the aircraft have done their best. We trust their ability to take care of us. The pilots do the same with pharmacists who design pills that we eat without thinking if we will be alive. Because we hope that we will get well and we trust our fellow humans. Name a profession, and we are bound by an unseen contract of hope and trust with humanity. The army, the farmers, the barbers, the bakers, the teachers, the nurses....the list is endless but yet the hope and trust is what we really buy in return for ...

How can #brands #incentivise #consumers on #socialmedia #performance

Social media is here to stay and will only get stronger. The consumers on social media have tasted blood with the knowledge that they have the power to run or ruin brand reputation. That brands cannot take their consumers for granted. I'm sure it is worrying a lot of marketeers that now they are not in control. Well, at least not fully. So how can things change for the better? How can we reach a win win situation for both the brands and customers. How can brands incentivise their loyal customers for spreading positive word of mouth? The solution that comes to my mind is : PPP or acronym for pay per promotion. To elaborate, let's assume that someone retweets a brands post and is able to get 1000 retweets on the post. The brand can decide a certain sum that could be paid to the consumers depending on a rate determined by the brand and mutually agreed upon by the brand and the consumers. There could be a concept of an auction where every consumer could pick to choose which bran...
