Peak Performance Needs Flow!

I just watched the news of Asha Bhonsle turning 77 today and got inspired to write this post. Peak Performance (PP) is what she embodies. We WLP professionals and other professionals worth their salt all aspire for such great feats in our fields. 
Let's talk of PP, it's a flow, a melody,an effortless performance resembling the innumerable songs that the maestro herself sang over so many decades and continues to do so even now. Whenever a performer achieves PP, it's the culmination of dedicated efforts and a self-belief towards a great cause, in her case, songs to touch lives of so many fans spread over geographies cutting across language barrier.
What's mine and yours in WLP arena? 
Surely, it's gonna help people look good, feel good about their performance. My success as a WLP professional rests with my clients' (read colleagues,friends and other stakeholders) success. For this to happen, only hard work is perhaps not sufficient...what's needed is a smart work. A smart work (so often heard but poorly understood!) is dedicated work plus a touch of heart into it. So, whatever we do should be guided by our larger goals that has a heart-felt emotion woven into it. This brings a flow, a melody and rhythm in our acts...things become effortless. Could you visualize Asha singing a melody or Nadia Komanchi performing those jaw-dropping acrobatics? That's PP!
To get initiated, could we bring a touch of heart in our acts and see the 'Flow' taking over. This could be a real dedication to the maestro on her turning 77!
Let's Flow!
