The Power of Choice: Living and Leading with Intention


Listen Later

In this episode of My Yatra, Dr. Maneesha Asundi explores the sacred power of choice and how every decision we make today shapes the blueprint of our future. We are reminded that, like the celestial bodies in the cosmos, our lives are meant to follow a rhythm—one aligned with our roles, our nature, and our dharma.

Through vivid metaphors and heartfelt stories, including a road crew planting trees and the classic parable of the man in the flood, Dr. Maneesha highlights the importance of mindfulness, presence, and alignment across body, mind, and intellect. She also emphasizes that transformation is not about perfection—it’s about progress. By choosing consciously, we step into our innate leadership, no title required.

This episode is an empowering call to action for those who feel stuck, silent, or sidelined: your choices are your superpower. Use them wisely, and let them carry you toward authenticity, courage, and inner freedom.
