Are you a catalyst?

The morning when you start your day, the evening when you reach back home, the hero of this story is always you and you alone. It depends on how you shape the events of the day and carve your own story. The story is never about who is the catalyst in your life, who is that villain who will drag you down the success ladder. Your mind and heart is in charge of the decisions you take and how you shape the future.

As an employee, you are the catalyst of the equation where organization, your mentor, competitors, external market and organization culture are the chemicals which react but the outcome- which is your future and the success is derived by the catalyst in that equation. The outcome can help achieve your dreams or otherwise can form a chain reaction, which becomes a vicious cycle and you are unable to close the chemical reaction.

Properties of the catalyst in discussion need to be:

·     Out of box thinker like the unknown members of the periodic table

·     Be like elements  Na, Ca which are key members to form the backbone of the universe and human being

·     Result oriented like inert gases which do not react with other chemical substances

·     Structured approach and logical thinking like the structured members ordered in periodic table on basis of atomic number

·     Remain unfazed by the challenges on the way like the actual catalyst whose mass remains unchanged after the chemical reaction

It depends on which path you chose on everyday basis and drive the positive energies around you towards your larger objective and goal in life.
