Eye on the Goal!

Do you have goals. No I dont have. then certainly in your bank account only a few rupees.

Am I right. Yes. The person who have a lot of money, he has some goals. they note down goals. or in their mind. They certainly have goals.

To achieve goals. we have to start working. act on goals. Many people I saw, big goals. but they did not act upon them or when obstacles comes. They stop working.

How you see obstacles,

“Lagi waalayoon naand nahee aoundi , taari keewaan aag laa gai”

Obstacles only appears when we stop focusing on our goals. So when you start working just keep eye on the Goal.

Waqt rahtā nahīñ kahīñ Tik kar —

Waqt rahtā nahīñ kahīñ Tik kar

aadat is kī bhī aadmī sī hai

This couplet is from Gulzar, The white salwar qamiz with small shal on his shoulder, mid 70 walking slowly slowly binding hands behind. Typical Pakistani Indian style walk. The same Idea came into my mind when I was thinking about Gulzar.

I listen this couplet in Jagjeet singh Gazal. Jag jeet means then the person who wins the world. Interesting name haye naa.

Why this came into my mind. Practice practice. I want to write. write what ever comes in my mind.

Poet said in this couplet. The Time like human, it did not stay. It changes.

Waqt kartā hai parvarish barsoñ

hādisa ek dam nahīñ hotā

How to overcome Procrastination

https://youtu.be/67Hlf1cRupA

He friends, welcome to this video. There are two types of people one who have big dreams. And second who work hard to achieve them. the only difference between successful person and unsuccessful is action. Both have dreams, plans, but one act on their plans and take massive actions. While other just delay actions and as result they lost their dreams. They have habit of procrastination .

In this video I am going to share you why we procrastinate things, how to identify and over come it.

So what is procrastination. Procrastination is name of avoid or delay things which need to be done.

Remember Procrastination is habit. It is not a personality flaw. With efforts we can overcome ones.

There is common saying 50 percent solution of any problem is finding a reason why this happen.

So its very important to find the reasons why we procrastinate.

There are several disadvantage of procrastination. When we delay things. Tasks pill up and results in stress. When some one works on their dream. And we procrastinate our actions to achieve our dreams and later we give up. that results in guilt and anxiety. I saw many people were saying something “I wish I started that time”.

Good news is that next time is now. You need just commitment and have to take actions achieve all dreams.

Basic reasons procrastination is resistance for change. Or Resistance in taking action. Action requires a lot of efforts, discipline and hard work. Some times we procrastinate our dreams due to results are not coming.

For example for weight loss, I decided to do exercise daily. After one week when results were not coming. I started to delay the exercise. My mind starts to give me following reasons to delay Tomorrow I will do, In the evening I will do. And as results that evening or tomorrow never comes.

One of best way to identify reasons is to make a list of task we delay. There is possible we have different reasons for procrastinate things or possible similar pattern appears for similar or different tasks.

If we look closely, there are many things we did not procrastinate. We started working on these things and finish them. for Identify why we procrastinate, we have to built two list of tasks or things.

In one list we to mention mention all task. which we did not delay. And second list is of task which we procrastinate regard less of reason.

Now you have list of task you delayed. You can explore each task one by one and note down. Why you delay these tasks. Pattern of reasons starts to appear.

For example. Task is tough or we did not have skill to finish the task. We are not confident enough or possible we want too much perfection.

Solution to procrastination is massive actions. Start taking small steps. force ourselves to built momentum. When momentum built things started to finish.

Use 10 minute rule. We have to force ourselves to just focus on task only 10 minute. When 10 minute over, Just force for 10 minute more. And things start to happens. Most of time when we are doing things first time only start is tough and when this sense of resistance overcome we starts working.

Next video I will share you how to overcome the procrastination in the case of task is fearfully tough

To closing notes,

My friend, procrastination is habit, not a personality flaw. We can overcome it by identifying reasons and working on fix. Procrastination results in anxiety ,stress and guilt. Make list of tasks we procrastination and with careful analysis we easily identify why we procrastinate. And take small but concrete steps to finish up things.

Work on your time management skills 

Hard work mainly focuses on quality. And it involves a lot of dedication but the efficiency is less compared to smart work. Smart work leads to the discovery of more efficient ways. Smart work requires less time and brings better results. Whereas hard work is confined to longer hours and untiring efforts. Hard work is done without any planning whereas smart work requires beforehand planning. To do smart work, you have to develop a habit of managing your time. Because you have to save your time to do a greater number of tasks in a shorter amount of time. For smart work, develop a to-do list and write down your tasks on it. Don’t waste your time on unnecessary things. Do one task efficiently instead of starting four- five tasks simultaneously. Because in this way you will end up doing nothing. Do the heaviest tasks at the start of the day because morning brings a lot of energy. So leave the shorter and easiest tasks for the end of the day. 

Cultivate creative mindset 

You can do smart work by gaining knowledge through formal or informal education. For smart work, you have to train your brain muscles to do better in the area of thinking and creativeness. To train your brain to think creatively. One has to study different articles and practice arts and music. Read different things like novels, manga and some informative books. Your quench and curiosity should never come to an end. For training your brain muscles you should be good with technology and you should never stop acquiring knowledge from different sources. By practicing such activities you can train your brain muscles to think differently from the rest of the world. A creative mindset not only boosts your mood but also makes you find fun in the tasks. In this way, you love to do the task instead of taking it as a tiring responsibility. It gives you an approach to living life differently. 

Being adaptive and flexible 

It happens a lot that whenever we fail to achieve our plan we start to think negatively than nothing ever goes our way. However, the best people always have their ways to mend situations. They never fail to inspire the masses. So instead of having a single plan, it is better to have more than one plan. So that if anything happens and you fail to achieve your first plan. You must have your other plans so that the scenario never leaves you empty-handed. Don’t let yourself be stuck in the same situation. Just leave it and let the bygones be bygones. focus on future things. Instead of cursing yourself for the failure of a plan. Lift yourself and go with the remaining plans. Failures will lead you to a successful path one day. And how is it related to smart work? If you are sticking to a single plan and it does not work out in the end then you have no other plan afterward. So you have to repeat the whole process no matter how much time it takes. So it is better to have more productive approaches so that you can learn new things and can train your brain muscles.

In the end, I must say that a productive approach is the only thing required. Be more aware of what you are choosing. Be mindful of the opportunities you are taking. Do not waste your time on taking exhausting opportunities. Go for the concise and efficient pieces of work. That’s all for today’s video. i hope you guys enjoyed it. Byebye 

Six things mentally strong people do

https://youtu.be/PlJDirXRKqs

Hello friends, welcome back to my channel. We all face challenges in life.

If you learn from your life experiences, never to complain about pain and sufferings comes in your adversity. Know what you want in life and never give up on failures. Not easily influence by others behavior and situations. Always response not react in any situation. Then certainly you are mentally strong person.

The Idea of mental strong people is that mental strong people focus on things they can control. While mental week people always focus on things which they can not control. For example Mental strong people always focus on how to improve their content instead focus how to increase their subscriber or views on their video or youtube channel. While mentally weak people always complain about weather, inflation rate, bad economy and treat of other people towards them.

In this video, I am going to share you some qualities of mentally strong people. Slowly you can adapt these qualities.

They move one

The number one characteristic of a mentally strong person is they move on. They know their worth and don’t feel sorry for themselves for a minute. They know that they have given their best, and if the other person is not appreciating their efforts, it’s not their loss but the loss of the other person. Moving on might seem very difficult, but for mentally strong people, it is less tiring. They prefer moving on rather than wasting time wondering why it happened and how miserable they are.

They embrace change

Change is not everyone’s favorite. People run away from change, they think that change will destroy their life. But mentally strong people embrace change. They welcome it with open arms and know that life does not remain the same. It will have to change eventually. So, they expect that life can drastically change and they must accept it. Change brings challenges and they are also prepared for it. When they know that change can be challenging, the biggest challenge seems to be little in their eyes. That’s the thing about change, it demands to be accepted and embraced. If a person is not accepting any change in their life then they are making the biggest mistake ever.

They stay happy

As humans we sometimes take stress over things we can’t control, we tend to notice certain things which will deteriorate our mental peace. Mentally strong people do not waste their emotions and feelings on things that are not under their control. They stay happy in every circumstance and ignore the things they can’t change. They accept things and situations as they are.

They are fair

The most notable characteristic of a mentally strong person is that they will be kind. They believe that the world is cruel enough and it needs kindness more than anything. They are very kind towards everyone and spread kindness everywhere. There is no evilness in them and they are extremely gentle and fair. They speak what they believe in. they don’t sugarcoat things and do what is right. You cannot shush them as they are very unafraid about things they believe in. They will only talk about the thing that they truly believe in and will shy away from sharing their thoughts in a gathering even if they are the only ones talking about it.

They take risks

Life is not always a smooth ride. There are many bumpy roads in it. People are afraid of taking risks and facing those bumps in their journey in life. But mentally strong people are afraid so they take calculated risks. They are wise and they don’t put everything they have at a stake, rather they calculate what that risk might cause them and then make a wise decision. But in most cases, people with a strong mental approach seem to take risks.

They celebrate others’ success

Jealousy is a very common feeling among humans. We don’t like people getting successful before us and don’t understand that everyone’s journey is different with their pace and fate. Mentally strong people know this, they understand that everyone is living their life and facing their hurdles, if any of us is getting more successful then it’s because it is their fate and hard work. Rather than getting jealous, they celebrate other people’s success without resetting it. They know that what’s written for them will reach them at the right time.

Outro

With efforts these qualities can be built. You just need to stay positive in any situation. learn from it. Always focus how your response will creates different impact. Think before act. Then certainly you become mentally strong person.

Jaab saye too naye mujaye dewanah bana rakah hayee.

Jaab saye too naye mujaye dewanah bana rakah hayee. Sung her shakhs nayee haathoon main utha rakah hayee.

Ah haw, So I have to write. Wish to daily write.

I still century old song. I listen this song when I was 8 years old. I visited the small tandoor in home town. on mud wall, old radio called “Radwaha”. Later I saw abada Parveen on PTV.

At that time I can’t understand, what its meaning. By the way I still can not understand.

I still remember one of Gulzar sahib words for Abaida, in intro of Bakhd Kabeer song

“Sufiyon ka kalam gate gaatey, abida khud sufi hoo gaeen.”

She become sufi, she herself become sufi.

Ah haye, jaab saye too nayee dewanah bana rakah hayee.

If you still can’t understand the meaning then certainly you think about one sided love. You certainly understand those.

My grand mother used to said “ Mieyan, llonn taale lakari main parro gaaye to yaa ishaq mashoqqee bhool joo gayee”. Means, when you start busy in professional life. you will forget all romantic things.

That feels right. When you start facing real life challenges, you forget everything, specially love life.

Now we talk about positive meaning of “ Tare ishaq main, hayee Tare ishaq main”.

Ishaq means, obsession with some one or some thing to achieve. These obsession is both materialistic and divine.

For example Mira Bai ishaq for Kirshana Dev. Heer ranajah. Sasi punu.

These types of Ishaq are beyond my understanding. Some said, Heer rajah also two love gods. and it is their love story. Heera from greeks and Ranjah is avitar or Krishana. Or Punjabi called Kirshan as Ranjah.

What about Ishaq means, your goal. You want something in life. Obsession of material status.

So what about that.

Taree ishaq main joo bee doobha gayaee. Us diyna kee laharoo saye darnah kaya

Your ishaq will be your goal. The target you want to achieve. Where you have to reach. You face a lot of rejection and push back.

Keep going man.

Peace comes from within -Buddah

I read a quote on from Buddh “Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.”

Something similar from Baba Bulleh shah, “ Bulleh shah raab underon milya bulli pher loki” . Little contrdiction between Buddha and Bulleh shah. Buddha talks about peace. But Bulleh shah talk about god. translation is something similar Seek God inside your heart.

The idea god find insider your heart is too old as man kind himself. aham brahmasmi to Ana al Haqq.

Those things beyond my understand. What I think meaning of God live in heart is. You have to clean your heart from the dirt of hate, creed and braise. Only solution to cleanliness is forgive others as well as yourself, let it go. And accept things as its.

I feel in past time people are very simple and its understanding of very simple man. They thought That your all prayers ebadah, will not accepted by God. until you clean your heart. Cleanness of heart, purification of soul is borrowed from pre-Islamic religion of Indo Pak.

If we talk about Islamic touch then Quarn saind

The Quran praises them “Beware, Allah’s friends have no fear nor do they grieve ” (Yunus: 62).

I am not scholar. In layman understanding of this verse. friends of Allah, or Wali are clear hearted. without Grieve only those people, who either have peace with their past. Forgive and let it go what happen. Their heart is clear. No fear of future, what happen next they have care about it. These people are just living in present moment. They trust on the hukam of Allah ( Allah ‘s will). They have peace inside. This peace they have to make. either believing or clearing their heart.

So what I understand after reading this quote. I start to making peace with my past.

The idea is simple you have to let it go. Outside world is beyond our control. We have to control our inner

The heart is place where god reside.

“Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without” Buddha

I read a quote on from Buddh “Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.”

So what I understand after reading this quote. I start to making peace with my past.

When two legends compete , grit comes out.

Aaj hona dedar sajan daa Aaj hona Dedar mahi daa

I saw this small clip where Indian singer Master Saleem who sung many folk songs and specially expert in singing the songs from Nusrat Fathe Ali Khan.

In that video Master Saleem sung with Rahat Fahey Ali khan. And both did Jugal Bandi. means, they song classical voices like tha thaa, theyaa. And it was amazing.

Master Saleem did not have original anything he did copy and copy better then original. While Rahat Fahtey Ali kahan has many original work and a lot of kinship from Nusrat Faht Ali Khan. I remember some old video on PTV. Where is was sitting beside Nusrate Fathey Ali Khan and just do some supporting work. After the death of Nusrat, He lost everything but he did a lot of efforts he had to put make him up to mark. I still remember on Pakistani singer abbas Rufi. He also excellent copy and generate similar voice of Nusrate Fath ali Khan. At that time, when nusrate Fath died, he is better then Raahat if both sung same song.

But now both have huge name. Rahat is legend and Abbas rufi lost in time.

Only difference is efforts. Efforts for long term goal. Effort beyond when people drop dead, they still continue effort.

In Master saleem and Rahat Faht Ali Khan jugal Bandi, Rahat Faht wins because he put more efforts and has original work. He switched the raag But Master saleem has what only he copied. He continued but beated by Rahat due to orignality and more expertise in classic singing. And he build this expertise by putting more efforts then Master saleem.

There are many stories, where you are nothing, failure but from instance you decide and start working with long term efforts you can still wins. With efforts, with dedication. You can create difference.

Even we beat Talent.

“Talent counts, effort counts twice.”

―

Angela Duckworth,

Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance

Above mention quote, Angela Duckworth. Mentioned that Talent counts, but with double efforts you can compete talent.

Grit is effort for long term goals and put efforts.

“Grit has two components: passion and perseverance.”

This only story of singer, who has heritage of His uncle but was nothing when his uncle died, he put efforts and make his space. Long term efforts. Many who have duplicate copies of Nusrat, the made their own spaces but did not go beyond exceptional.

So it is your time, For example biggest challenge I have communication. I can do work. I can put efforts to resolve problems. But what makes me excellent worker is communication. People beats me due to my this weakness.

I unable to show my work to management. Some times people think it politics. But actually, many people doing efforts to achieve or get same goal. But who wins, that one who has good communication. Who shows his work.

I have to work on my communication. But let me know what’s yours. What is your long term goal.

How you built grit.

For building grit you need. Goal. vision. What you want to achieve. What you want to change in yourself.

And then long term efforts. there is no short cuts. Efforts long term.

You can beat talent but twice efforts or more efforts then talented person doing.
