A Higher Plane

When I go hiking I think about all the people centuries ago that traversed the same place I am at. The next thought that comes is about Nilkanth Varni, the child yogi, who journeyed across India on foot in the 1800’s. Going hiking doesn’t take me higher from earths surface, it brings me back down. Hiking anywhere reminds me of how much I don’t know, how much I am yet to do, and instills in me a sense of humility of the grandness of this planet and the universe. It also makes me think about my decisions. I was raised to focus more on my weaknesses than strength. My father used to tell my sister and I, “I don’t care about what you are doing right because you are already doing it, I am more concerned about how you are trying to right your wrongs.” A reflection of my decisions allows me think about my core principles and find which ones I need to add into my being so that I may be able to right my wrongs.

“Recognize that mistakes are a natural part of the evolutionary process.” — Ray Dalio

Leading With Morals

On June 30th 2001 Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam met Pramukh Swami Maharaj for the first time. During that meeting Dr. Kalam presented 5 important areas that would help transform India from a developing country to a developed country. After the presentation Pramukh Swami Maharaj offered a sixth point — “faith in God and developing people through spirituality”. His Holiness said, “We need to first generate a moral and spiritual atmosphere. The present system is suffocating. The climate of crime and corruption is toxic to good thoughts and noble works. This must change” His Holiness continued to say, “Without this there will be no transformation; nothing will be solved and you shall not be able to achieve your dream.”

His Holiness lived a life of the highest moral and ethical code. Each moral tenant given by Bhagwan Swaminarayan was followed to the letter. Due to the way His Holiness a moral life which converted the atmosphere around him to otherworldly. His moral guidance helped solve so many issues that people endured. His moral life transformed individuals to leave addictions and walk a path towards God. The dreams of His Holiness Shastriji Maharaj and His Holiness Yogiji Maharaj were achieved under his reign. Pramukh Swami Maharaj showed us the power of a moral life.

2001 → 2020

The world is seeing more crime and corruption now than it did in 2001. We have leaders telling us one thing and they themselves are doing another. In 2020 it pays handsomely to be less scrupulous. I think about my industry’s principles and then I think about Pramukh Swami Maharaj’s principles. To use the principles of His Holiness as my compass will allow me blaze a trail towards an exceptional career and bring me one step closer in my journey towards Pramukh Swami Maharaj.

Public Speaking

Okay, Umair it’s now your turn to speak! My legs and hand shivering with anxiety and lack of self confidence, went to the stage and said “Hello”. I was completely lost what I said and what I did in front of many people.

Self Talk

It was never like I can’t do this but it was like how can I improve myself. How can I speak in front of people confidently. I knew I can improve but all I need was how.

Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone

My friends asked me to talk in front of a mirror and take small initiatives. Also try to take part in debate and learn some skills how to engage with audience.

Create New Habits

I started reading books, watching some English movies because the more you listen the more it improve your speaking and the more you read the better you can write. It was sometimes boring and demotivating but I had to change and improve.

Ask People Help

This is what I did because being an introvert and having a small circle, I asked my few friends what should I do and they all keep on giving me some tasks and giving feedback. Feedback also made me cry sometimes because I tried very hard but it was still not enough

Fake It Till You Make It

I worked a lot on my skillset and later on I was always ready that I can speak easily in front of people and try to participate in debates. However sometime I wasn’t ready but still I try or show that I am ready.

This is what I received today

Spreading this idea

I shared this idea with my brother and he was struggling with writing proper English essays. I asked him to read books in the quarantine, I am glad to see that he is trying at least.

Takeaway

He understand the concept of growth mindset and always think that everything can be improved. He said “If I can improve myself so everyone can improve themselves and that’s how Pakistan can improve” He is just 13 years old.

Favorite tips

Create new habits

He started reading books and novels and some articles too. He asked me to bring him marketing books too.

He also started reading Mindset book

To develop a growth mindset you must accept change. Things take time but you can change always. There might be scenario where we can’t see any thing positive but we can take some important points or lessons from them.
Amal Totkay
By: Komal Aziz
Tags: Growth Mindset

A growth mindset is an embodiment of the belief that the pool of knowledge and learning within you can expand, with the right attitude. Here are the five Amal Totkay that can help an individual develop a growth mindset.

1)Self-Talk

2)Get out of your comfort zone

3)Create new habits

4)Ask people for help

5)Fake it till you make it.

These tips are just some of the ways we can modify our thinking into a growth mindset. If we really look at them closely, each one of these is such a small action/thought. But the impact it makes in our lives is huge! This goes to show how a small act can reap massive benefits.

I have always had a problem with asking people for help. For some reason, it has always been a weakness within me. As I have recently entered my professional life, I have come to the realization that this weakness is a big obstacle in my way to success. It stops me from learning and expanding my knowledge. This is, thus, one of my favorite tips.

Another one of my favorite tips is getting out of your comfort zone. I have entered a professional field that I did not have an educational background in. Every day I push myself to the limits, and make sure I get out of my comfort zone so I can handle new problems/situations. You can’t always play safe. What will you learn if you do?

For me, I have already been applying tip 2 in my daily life. Its tip 4 that I really need to work on.

Moving forward, I will make sure to ask others for help wherever I need it and overcome my fear of being judged for not ‘knowing it all’.

I’m not Hermione Granger, sadly. But who says I can’t be?

“You cannot change your destination overnight, but you can change your direction overnight.” – Jim Rohn

© azerbaijan_stockers

We are approaching that time of the year when people start saying things like, “this ends this year,” or “it won’t be like this next year,” or “next year will be different.” And it goes on. A study says that about 60% of the world’s population make New Year resolutions, and only 8% achieve them. What happened to the remaining 92%? I mean, they were as enthusiastic as the other eight, or even more, so what happened?

From personal experience, I believe you would agree that some resolutions should not be on your list, but somehow, they make their way to the top five out of the ten or more items on the list you have. We will get to why they shouldn’t be on your list in a bit, but let us look at our resolutions approach before then. From the word resolution, it seems to come from a more energetic angle of view. The “I must” mentality is always attached to every item on the list because, in the literal sense, that is what a resolution is.

However, you have to realize that the items on those lists are often things that you don’t have or haven’t done before, and all of a sudden, you want to have it all in the New Year. It doesn’t work like that because you can’t expect someone who is obese, still eats junks and has never tried sit-ups to become a fitness model instantly, and neither can you expect someone who has never driven a car before to be competing on a Formula-1 track. Note, it’s not that it won’t happen, but the approach and the period required will be different from that of someone who is already in the process. For example, someone already taking driving lessons or have been on a diet for more than three months. To them, the resolutions are more attainable.

Now, back to why some things shouldn’t be on your list. Some people make resolutions that are not specific enough, so they become goals that do not exactly fit their way of life. After a while, say few months; such resolutions will not make sense to such people anymore. Just like your goals, your New Year’s resolution should be SMART.

Having a destination without a path is what most New Year’s resolutions are to some people. They forget that the resolutions are like any other goal you make at any other time of the year. The only difference is the traditional aspect. Therefore, you also have to plan for each of them, identify what achieving each of them would cost you, and start making preparations for them.
Three Simple Methods to Undermine Toxic Positivity

Three Simple Methods to Undermine Toxic Positivity

“Oh my gosh! A C isn’t a big deal! You still passed!”

I remember her shouty, high-pitched voice like it was yesterday. We weren’t friends, but I knew her name. Somehow she overheard my heartache over this disappointing mark and felt it was her role to show up for me. Where I needed to be heard, she needed to be positive.

Toxic positivity is robbing our hearts of the ability to feel our feelings. There is a time and place for hopeful encouragement, but when a heart lays raw before you with vulnerability, jabbing a foam finger and yelling, “Go team!” will get you ejected from the game before halftime.

When we feel pain or disappointment, it is not our job to comfort those around us. It is our job and highest calling to learn how to sit with ourselves. To know our feelings by name, and to give them a chance to exist. Just as the woman above meant well by her kind words, she also steamrolled her own discomfort. Forget that she wasn’t invited to the conversation. Her interjection stopped all other responses. As if nothing else needed to be said; this woman encouraged the sad person. Now we as a group can move on to the next thing.

Moving on is the goal of toxic positivity.

We recognize the platitudes like a tiger’s stripes and yet, we still struggle to let the well-intentioned “encouragement” pass by without adding to our pain.

In a world where anyone can hashtag their way into Instagram influencer status, we must know how to recognize the true skills of active listening and reframing. Knowing how to correct the overgeneralized happy vibes allows us freedom to be human. That does not mean we must feel sad all the time; it means we must have the chance to feel sad.

Active Listening Is…

Anytime you are choosing to show up for someone, no matter their situation, your role is as an observer. If your goal is to encourage them, then listen.

My favorite way to describe this is from the Pixar movie, “Inside Out.” I think about it daily! When the imaginary best friend Bing Bong loses his imaginary best friend rocket ship, the character named Joy insists on moving quickly to the next thing. There is urgency in their goal, and they do not have a moment to lose. But the character named Sadness sees a moment to sit and reflect. She waits at Bing Bong’s side while he cries, making only small remarks along the lines of: “I bet that feels really sad,” and “It sounds like you really loved your time together.”

After a few moments, Bing Bong is still grieving… but now he is ready to stand. It only takes a few moments of intention, silence, and brief paraphrasing to show up for others.

Effective learning: the act of listening actively
By: Ujji - Meet The Future You
Tags: Self Improvement, Ujji, Active Listening, Growth Mindset

“I only wish I could find an institute that teaches people how to listen. Business people need to listen at least as much as they need to talk. Too many people fail to realize that real communication goes in both directions.” — Lee Iacocca

© pressfoto

Effective communication is a skill that everyone needs, and it’s not only for work but also in your personal life. Your relationship with people will not be solid if communication is poor. However, communication is not all about talking. There are times when you also have to listen, and as simple as it may seem (a resting phase before you resume talking), active listening isn’t an easy skill to acquire. Have you ever attended a seminar or meeting, only to realize that it was a waste of time because you didn’t listen? Listening is different from hearing. When you listen, you are expected to deduce the message the speaker is passing and even more, depending n your abilities. Anything short of that is a waste of time, and that brings us to the concept of active listening.

Active listening refers to a listening pattern that keeps you engaging constructively with your communication partner. It is a method of listening attentively as someone else talks, paraphrasing and referring to what is said while excluding judgment and suggestions. You make others feel heard and respected as you use active listening. Therefore, it is the cornerstone of every fruitful dialogue. Active listening differs from critical listening in that you do not assess the other person’s message to give your view. Rather the aim is merely to hear the other person and maybe to fix their problems.

How to be an active listener

There are three key steps to listening actively; the first is attention, which involves avoiding any form of distraction when listening. The aim of paying attention is to find the direction of the conversation and the message. When you have that, then you can proceed with the other aspects.

The next is attitude. Here, it would be best to let the person know that you listen to the common gestures you make. Gestures like maintaining eye contact, giving regular nods, and being on the lookout for the speaker’s non-verbal gestures.

The next approach is to paraphrase salient points you noted while paying attention. Also, while listening, avoid any form of argument or judgmental statements. For example, if someone tells you about an unfortunate incident, do not ask questions like, “what were you thinking?” Or “why did you let it happen?” Such statements beat the purpose of active listening.

Conclusively, there are various methods of listening suitable for different purposes. And the reason for active listening is delicate, and when properly done, it can be advantageous because people will trust you at work, at home, and can easily make connections.
Being a lifelong learner
By: Ujji - Meet The Future You
Tags: Ujji, Growth Mindset, Self Improvement, Lifelong Learning

“Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young.” — Henry Ford

© kroshka__nastya

Learning never stops, and why should it? I’ve heard a lot of people in their final year or on graduation day say things like, “after this, I’m done.” To them, it means freedom; at last, no more School, no more having to learn anything from anyone. I have to get a job and start my life. Little do they know that they’ve only applied to the great school of life, and that is when learning starts. This set of people will go on about their lives, mostly finding it difficult to get the hang of things, and here’s why; they do not have positive attitudes towards learning, and so when life wants to teach them lessons in forms different from the classroom environment, they miss out on such opportunities.

A lifelong learner is someone optimistic about learning. Learning is a habit that they cultivate and create a positive attitude towards personal and professional development. Also, they strive to maintain a positive attitude as to them, learning is not a mandate, but a thing of choice, which differentiates them from other people whose job or professions demand that they keep learning. It is not a habit but of necessity for such people and is often done without enthusiasm, thereby preventing them from gaining as much as they ought to. Learning is not restricted to the academic world alone. Each time you build interest in skill and put efforts to know it, you are also learning, and if you maintain that interest, you have become one without passing through a school gate.

Having known who a lifelong learner is, what are the perks of being one?

The purpose for being a lifelong learner, that is, personal and professional are intertwined in that when you develop yourself on a personal level, it increases your employability because the more skills you have, the more the market will demand your expertise, and that means a higher pay which in turn provides the resources and connection for more personal development among other advantages like boosted self-esteem, recognition among the elite, increases your chance of making better decisions and it can also be fun.

So, how do you become one?

To make the process an easy one, you need to ensure that you remain motivated because that is the greatest challenge, the motivation to continue, especially when you have surpassed the people around you. Secondly, you have to do the learning; you may be motivated and still not work. Lifelong learning entails that you keep learning and searching for more knowledge. Also, you have to examine yourself. Since you are not in school, you will have to be the person to assess yourself most of the time by practising what you have learnt.

We all have the right to have feelings to be angry, Sad and everything else. We are human its okay. You’re not perfect. It okay to be let down and it okay to be happy it okay to uplift people it okay to be HUMAN. Aren't we all.

This is probably the most hypercritical thing I have ever said but to my girls and my guys. It time to be selfish. It time to make yourself happy again. It time to forget the toxic stuff ,Time to forgive and forget. It time to stop putting others before you. It time to heal and be who you truly are supposed to be because you deserve it more then anyone. Like Rubi Kaur said “Accept yourself as you were designed” It time to love every part of yourself it time to be SELFISH it time to grow to your full potential. Wake up make your bed, Read a book, Let them toxic people go you CAN DO IT! Remember I love you forever and always it your year to grow and manifest your life so lets stay positive and do it.

This week I came across 5 Amal Totkay (tips). I found them really helpful. They all were new to me. My takeaways from each of them are as follows:

Self-Talk: Thoughts are the food for our brain. They play an important role in the development of the brain. So, we must feed our brain with positive beliefs, to make it stronger. And prevent negative thoughts from entering the brain. Get out of your comfort zone: We must challenge ourselves by facing challenging situations, where we get a chance to grow. Because there is no growth within the comfort zone. One must leave the comfort zone to expand his circle of influence Create new habits: This tip relates to the concept of lifelong learning. It means a person should continuously work on his or her self, in order to improve. This can be done by trying and adding new skill sets and habits to their personality. Ask People Help: It is very difficult to reach a person to ask for help. But in order to succeed guidance must be sought from experienced people. So, a person should always be ready to ask for help and accept help from other people. This is exactly how communities and civilizations grow and develop together. Fake it till you make it: This tip advice to try a growth mindset for some time. It will help to realize its benefits and eventually it will help to adopt the growth mindset.

My favorite tip is tip no. 2 (get out of your comfort zone). I have already started implementing it by joining Amal Fellowship. Because it was really hard for me to interact with new people. So, by joining the fellowship I have come out of my comfort zone. And I have very high hopes for this fellowship. It will In Sha Allah help me to improve my soft skills and become a better version of myself.
magic happens at the edge. British science fiction writer and…

Tags: Growth Mindset, Science Fiction, Creativity, Entrpreneurship, Growth

1 idea, 60 seconds, daily to spur action towards our best work and living meaningfully and mindfully

British science fiction writer and futurist Arthur C. Clarke is famous for his uncannily detailed writings about communication satellites, internet, search, e-mail (and spam), and mobile computing decades before they came into fruition. He had a crisp and accurate sense of how the world would come to innovate and flourish that most people did not have.

Clarke distilled his key observations into 3 laws that are applicable for anyone trying to build for the future (and solve for magic in the process):

When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong. The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Magic, the “sufficiently advanced technology” that shifts the line between science fiction and reality, will not be found in the rear-view mirror. Magic hasn’t been published on yet; in fact very few will have known or thought about it when it arrives. The experts, the limit-pushers of yesteryear, will claim authority on impossibility and so long as we listen there will be no more magic.

If you see a way for greater thriving that others don’t see, you could be wrong or you could be looking at the specs for magic. There is no way of certifying in advance which category your vision is in, but maybe that’s not the point. If Clarke’s laws are any indication, the only way magic gets created is by braving the minority and insisting on playing just past the edges of what is currently (and comfortably) known.
Reflection on Amal Totkay
Tags: Growth Mindset, Development

“Developing a growth mindset will teach you to embrace failure and find new ways of succeeding” Professor Carol Dweck’s theory of Growth mindset.

The 5 tips mentioned in growth mindset Toolkit have a great impact in all our lives. For me these tips are extraordinary as they are complete in their way as the first one talks about the conversation we do with ourselves and its impact on our working. Second is to get out of our comfort zone means to think out of the box, come out, struggle and grow. Third is to always make new habits. This is one of the traits of a growth mindset person. Fourth is to ask people about your idea and ask for their suggestions. Fifth is to be confident even if your work is not something you think is capable of taking you to new heights. You should be confident.

All of the above plays an equal role in developing our minds but I think to get out of your comfort zone and work hard makes this even more challenging. Also, engaging with people and asking for their advice opens up your mind and enhance your rough draft.

Above all I’ve personally starting taking peoples’ advice on one of my small startup which is not working right now but I hope it will soon reach to new heights as I am engaging with people and looking into their ideas which are more relevant than my own ideas. Implementing them with time will surely lead to success some day.

We must keep our eyes and ears open and grab every opportunity in life to make our lives better. These 5 tips will stay with me forever and I hope I get to explore all of these to make my future bright. ❤
“I Will Not Apologize if I Have Done Nothing Wrong”

“I Will Not Apologize if I Have Done Nothing Wrong”

Photo by Brett Jordan on Unsplash

You have probably heard someone say this and you thought that was narcissistic or selfish of them to say that.

However, unless they actually did do something wrong and are refusing to apologize for their behavior, they are not wrong.

I don’t believe anyone should apologize if they have done nothing wrong.

It’s so easy for others to give their generic response and say: “You have to be the bigger person, and apologize”. This doesn’t make it right for the person that has to perform the act of apologizing.

When you accept to apologize for something that truly doesn’t require an apology and you end up doing it anyway for the sake of others, you slowly are corrupting your being.

Obviously, if you have done this once in your life, that this doesn’t impose a big threat to you, however… if you allow this to continue, little by little, this act will change your core.

This will make for more careful conversations. You will pay more attention to your words to avoid miscommunication.

Apologizing when you have done nothing wrong is discreetly debilitating you. Instead of taking the fast and easy route to end a disagreement (by just apologizing), learn to articulate your arguments so that you don’t have to deteriorate.

This might sound great or it might sound like I’m a jerk, which I am far from it. I am a really kind person with a gigantic heart but if there is one thing I truly do not tolerate, are people that make the mistake of confusing kindness for weakness.

Here’s something else to also consider…Who gets to decide that what happened was wrong? Who gets the hold the role of the judge to properly conclude that an apology is truly in order?

The reason people are asking for an apology left and right is that many aren’t drawing conclusions properly and have many biases… not just that, they are not seeing things from every possible angle to fully understand the other persons’ actions.

I find that when I truly understand others, almost never a need for an apology but more a need for an explanation.

It’s not about power or dominance, it’s about standing for the truth.

So in order to do this, you begin by learning to ‘think’ properly for once… and I say for once because many people don’t go through the proper process of ‘thinking’.

Unfortunately what most end up doing is they have their brains to do a quick sweep and this ends up being more like a shallow “review” in their heads when the matter might require more complex and abstract thinking.
What are the growth disorders problem in children?

What is Growth Disorder?

A growing problem in children or growth disorders in children means that a child lacks either below or above the average range of growth for a child’s age, sex, family history, or racial environment or background.

What causes growth disorders problems in children?

Growth disorders can have many reasons. Reasons usually fall into one of the following groups:

Familial short stature. This means a child’s height is part of his or her family’s pattern of coming into a short height.

Familial tall stature. This means a child’s height is part of his or her family’s pattern of coming into tall height.

Constitutional delay of growth and young development. This means a child to be likely to be shorter than average and to enter a young age later than average while growing at a normal rate. These children usually catch up in time and reach their normal adult height.

A sickness that affects the whole body (systemic disease). This comprises constant malnutrition, digestive tract diseases, kidney disease, heart disease, lung disease, diabetes, or chronic severe stress.

Endocrine (hormone) diseases. Growth can be affected by some circumstances that disrupt hormones. Growth hormone insufficiency can result from injuries to the pituitary gland or brain. Cushing syndrome can damage height growth and can cause weight gain. Giantism. Children will grow faster than usual if their pituitary gland makes too much growth hormone.

Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). This means the development of a baby in the uterus is slowed. This can be caused by many reasons, such as smoking during pregnancy or not enough as the care must be there. The baby is born undersized in weight and length than usual.

Genetic disorders. This comprises Turner syndrome, Down syndrome, and achondroplasia. Turner syndrome is when having too many, too few, or damaged chromosomes affect health problems. It’s an often genetic disorder that occurs only in girls. It causes poor growth.

there will be a last time

1 idea, 60 seconds, daily to spur action towards our best work and living meaningfully and mindfully

Inspired by The Last Time lesson from Sam Harris’ Waking Up App

“You squander time as if you drew from a full and abundant supply, though all the while that day which you bestow on some person or thing is perhaps your last.” — Seneca

there will be a last time

There will be a last time that you visit that place with the really cool museum or coffee shop, a last time that you will work on a project with that cherished colleague you’ve known forever, a last time that you will share work with the world and eagerly observe (while working in the background) to see if it made the world better for someone.

There will be a last time for everything and we will seldom know when that time is; we may have even done some things for the last time already. The only moment we can really ever be certain of is this one.

So here’s the imperative: generously offer the people, places and ideas in front of you the full attention, fervor, and care that you would grant a final interaction because you really can’t be sure if there will be another opportunity to work harder, to be better, or to care and love more.

The people, the work, and you deserve all that you have to offer now.
How I Grow a Local Event to a Global Summit (Audience from 29 Countries!)

Engage global partners and community

In total, we have more than 40 partners to support the Summit, including Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, UK, Portugal, etc. I believe in the power of community marketing, especially for a global event. If you spent your marketing budget on paid advertisement, yes, it may work and bring you traffic. However, the cost will be super high, and difficult to tailor your story to people from different cultures and countries. Having the organizations and communities to be the spokesperson for you will be much more effective and efficient. In a growth funnel, the paid advertisement can do a lot in the “awareness” stage. For the other steps, you need some spokespersons for you to achieve it.

Community marketing means spreading out your message via a specific group, “Community.” What is a community? A group of people who shares the same goal and want to grow together. In this digital world, we receive thousands of pieces of information every day. How can we absorb the information and make our decisions? How can we choose the “best” thing for myself? Seriously, it is not a rational decision most of the time, and we relied on referrals a lot.

In simple speaking, the easiest way you can do is “find diverse supporting organizations to help to spread the message.” Some may say, “they just helped to share a post. What can help?”. It helps a lot compared to paying for an advertisement on social media.

At least, your message is going to your target customers directly, and they can see it.

Great inventions and other remarkable things that happen throughout history often started as visions. Similarly, the people who made said inventions and other people whose names have gone down in history for their remarkable achievements have some things in common. Firstly, they all started with a dream or an idea, which they worked upon until it became credible enough that they could convince others to see things through their eyes. However, what they were doing is preparing the world for their future selves. Some of those historic names were probably never heard of 10 or twenty years before they rose to that level. Still, they understood the power of the will and what their potentials can achieve, so aided by their will and potential, they started working towards their future self. You, too, can, and one simple method is by creating a mood board with inspirations that will assist you in actualizing your future self.

Mood boards can be created online, but if you aren’t too close to your devices, I recommend a physical mood board.

Let’s start with the purpose: your mood board is an architectural design of who your future self will be, the things you would use to identify yourself in the future are included there, and they serve as a reminder that you have set a course for a future, and that any day you aren’t working towards it is a day delayed to actualizing your future self.

The mood board’s content will include images, pictures, and words symbolic of who your future self will be. For example, suppose you envision your future self as a business mogul. In that case, your mood board could contain pictures of the current business moguls, logos of top business organizations in your intended niche, and you can also include some self-affirmative statements that you can use as a mantra.

Updating your mood board is also crucial because apart from serving as a reminder that your picture needs to join the people already there, it also helps keep yourself updated, which is an important aspect of planning.

Finally, it would be best if you always remember that your today’s actions will always determine the version of your future self that will be actualized.
Adopting the five Whys technique as a mindset in other aspects of your life

“The basis of Toyota’s scientific approach is to ask why five times whenever we find a problem. By repeating why five times, the nature of the problem as well as its solution becomes clear.” — Taiichi Ohno

The Five Whys technique has been present for a long time and a means for solving cause and effect situations. And the analogy is that, if while working, an error occurs, then asking why the error happened and adding four more whys (totalling five) to the subsequent answers will most likely expose the root cause of the problem. However, we want to look at how we can use the Five Whys technique, not only as a problem-solving technique for finding the root cause of a mistake or an error but how we can use it to determine the root cause of some of our actions or desires that prompt us to take those actions.

Why the need? We often do things or think that we want certain things for a reason, only to realize after doing it or acquiring what we desired that what we thought was the reason was not. Likewise, the thing we desired so much and may have been even desperate to acquire them, and then we realized that we didn’t need them as much as we thought. This stage is where the adoption of the Five Whys becomes significant.

An example is when you keep clamouring and applying for a raise or promotion and might even go to great lengths to get it; the five Whys will show you your true intentions. For an illustration, Drew is a hardworking man who works in a firm as a personal assistant to the owner. Suddenly, he, who is usually content with what he has, applies for a raise. Our task will be to analyze why he wants the raise.

The answer he gives to the first why is because he needs more money. However, that answer is vague, and after all, he earns a pretty decent sum hence the second why. He says because he wants a bigger house. Asking why again and he replies; because he wants to have a family. Asking why again brings out an inner reason when he replies that he feels his life is incomplete. And by the fifth why, you already know the kind of person Drew is, his ideals and goals when he answers that success has a happy and healthy family.

Therefore, Drew wanted a raise, not because he wanted more money, which was his initial answer; it was a means to an end in his success journey. Similarly, adopting these five whys technique to your goals or aspirations will give show you if they are worth pursuing after all.
The Power Of Compounding

Power of Compounding

In this article, I am going to tell you about the power of compounding and why Warren Buffet is forcing people to learn it as soon as possible if you want to become rich and financially free. We all have studied in class 8 or 7 compound interest and simple interest and the basic definition of compound interest in layman language is we can earn interest over interest through this system. This is true and this is why the money increases tremendously in compound returns.

The Easiest way through which you can become a millionaire is by compounding your money or investing in a place where you get compound interest. Compounding is not just a thing it’s magic that people don’t get.

STORYTIME

there are two friends who invested money and the Rate of interest is 10% annually and it is on a basis of compound interest. The first friend withdraws the interest amount of 10,000 annually and spends it and the second friend remained invested after the completion of 30 years the first friend got 1,10,000 1 lack as the principal amount and the 10k his interest of that year and in 30 years he makes 3 lack as interest on 1 lakh but the second friend withdraws 17lakh 45 thousand rupees because he did not withdraw the money he is getting compound interest on it every year so by this story you can see the power of compounding.

This is the situation of 10% interest on 1 lakh rupees which you have invested once and think if you get 12 to 15% interest annually and you are investing regularly then think the amount you will get after your retirement or whenever you want.

IF you are able to invest 5 Lakh rupees at the age of 30 at a place where you get 12% annual compound interest growth at the time of your retirement it will be 1.50 crores and I think this will be enough for your post-retirement and you have also invested at more places for your retirement.

So think twice before investing and spending money just to show off.

Hope this will help you to make a decision while you go to spend money and in your investment strategies also.
Would You Hire Yourself to Live Your Life

“Hiring the Best is your most important task.”- Steve Jobs

There are so many tasks during the day that we don’t want to do or are not in a position to do and the best way to avoid them is to either completely eliminate them from the list or hire someone else to do that.

That's the reason most of us have either a housemaid, a cook, a driver, a babysitter, or a personal assistant.

You hire them based on what value they can bring to your lives and pay them accordingly.

And the same way someone else also has hired you for their work.

With all that work thing going on around you, there is one undercurrent of work going on simultaneously in your life which you can’t outsource to anyone else.

That’s your work ethics, your habits, your routines, and your values.

It may not look so but these are the most important pillars in your life on which your entire building is standing.

So you might be having a number of people to keep your life on track, but it’s you who is doing the most important tasks in your life because,

You make all the decisions in your life.

You create the vision for your life.

You see dreams for yourself.

You take action for your life.

But,

Have you ever asked whether this person who is making decisions for my life is good enough to do that?

Have you ever asked whether this person is worthy enough of living my life?

Or in the simple sense, if you have to hire yourself to live your life, would you hire yourself?

Would you be happy to give the steering wheel of your life to yourself with full faith in yourself like you have given the steering wheel of your car to your driver?

Take a third party view of yourself, remove all the excuses, and ask these questions to yourself:

1) Am I showing up every day the way I should?

2) Am I keeping my life organized like my housemaid keeps my house?

3) Am I having a vision for my life and if I have, am I following up on that?

4) Am I backing up my talks with action or I am simply become a talking tom?

5) Am I taking care of my physical and mental health to get the most out of my life?

6) Am I putting myself in good company to grow in life?

7) Am I pushing myself to learn new things or have become comfortable with what I know and do?

8) Am I being too lenient with myself?

9) Am I taking myself in the right direction?

10)Am I taking ownership of my life?
