Shabari: Preparation Without Applause

Imagine waiting your whole life for someone you’re not even sure will come. That was Shabari.

Every day, she cleaned her hermitage. Every day, she gathered berries. And every day, she waited for Rama.

Years passed. No word. No sign. But she never gave up.

When Rama finally arrived, her joy wasn’t in recognition—it was in readiness.

Leadership Lesson: Shabari teaches us that leadership is often built in obscurity. It’s not in headlines, but in habits. Not in grand events, but quiet devotion.

Preparation isn’t glamorous. But it’s sacred.

Takeaway for Today’s Leaders: Success doesn’t always knock with warning. Will you be ready when it does?
