6 tips to consider before giving up consultant mindsets

There are ups and downs in life. Possible this time we are at our lowest point in life. Sometimes results are not coming. Due to frustration, we start to think about quitting or giving up. If you are facing this situation, this video is for you.

1-This is a phase.

Tough times come in life. These are part of life. They will never last forever.

There is a quote: “Tough times never last, but tough people do”. Life is a cycle of highs and lows. Remember. These times will never last forever. These phases of life also passed. There is a storm in life now; when the storm passes, a new day will come. Hold on.

2-You are stronger than you think.

Most of the time, stress comes from inside, not outside circumstances. Because in the past, we performed well. But now is a tough time or a bad situation. It does not mean you cannot perform well again.

You are still the same; you are still strong. This tough time also teaches you.

Remember many similar situations occurred previously, and you survived them well then.

You have inner strength.

Believe you can still reach your potential, and you will solve this problem.

Remember that you are more capable than you think. You are stronger than you believe.

3-Small steps count.

There is a saying that when fog is everywhere and you cannot see anything,  you can still see one step. And when you take that step, one more step is again visible. And these small steps lead you to better

Progress isn’t always a leap forward. Sometimes it’s tiny, almost imperceptible steps. Each step, no matter how small, brings you closer to your goal. Celebrate every bit of progress. Slow and steady can still win the race. Keep moving forward.

4-Remember Your ‘Why’.

Think back to the reasons why you started. Reconnect with your motivation and your goals.

The successful people are those who stay more persistent than others. They also have lows and highs in their lives. And, perhaps most importantly, they understand why they do what they do.

This is why you should keep them going. This is why I did not let them down.

5-Failure is a stepping stone.

When the toughest failure comes to mind, always remember that every failure is another opportunity to learn. But it does not mean you should stop. First effort, so you cannot fail. Failure is not an option, but if you meet failure, it is another stepping stone.

6-Practice self-care.

First of all, you have to take care of yourself. Practice self-care.

Eat healthy food.

Do exercise.

Take proper 6-hour sleep.

Enjoy the company of loved ones.

Do meditation.

Spend time in activities that you love.

Two Quotes from BuddhiDraham who change my life

“If you use your mind to study reality, you won’t understand either your mind or reality. If you study reality without using your mind, you’ll understand both.”

I don’t know who Buddhi Draham is—an ancient Indian or Pakistani person who settled in China some 2000 years ago. DR Dahani speculated that he might be Pusthoon from northwestern KPK and had moved to China. A lot of Zen teachings belong to him or are attributes of him.

While Indians believe that he was a South Indian who traveled to China,

Buddah means wise one, while dharam means religion. Or way of life.

There is a possibility his name was lost and some honorable name was left.

While traveling to the office, one of his quotes caught my eye on Facebook.

When you don’t understand, you depend on reality. When you do understand, reality depends on you.

So what is reality? Reality is sach, satheya. Your reality. Your current situation

The wise man just said that understanding is everything. What happened to you or the situation that you are facing? Misery you are facing. That is reality, because you cannot understand why this happens or what changes you need to achieve change. What are the mistakes?

So you have to depend on your reality.

Then comes understanding. You have to understand, and then you can change your reality. If you really want to change it,

Most of the time, we are not aware of our situation. Whether it happens from God or from nature, we have to just face it. Live with it as it is. It is designed in a certain way.

There are two types of things or situations we face in life. There are a few things we can change, but a few we cannot. For example, death, illness, old age, gender, and race cannot change.

But we change our point of view on life. How we see things. We can change how much income we have and improve our lifestyle. We can change our fitness. We can change how we treat others. And more importantly, how we treat ourselves.

The second quote is also interesting.

“If you use your mind to study reality, you won’t understand either your mind or reality. If you study reality without using your mind, you’ll understand both.”

Here, what I understand is used for justification. When we start justifying, we cannot understand the actual issue. Instead of justification, we need to understand the reasons for the issue.

The Power of Determination: Overcoming Obstacles to Achieve Success I The Consultant Mindset I Motivation I Mindset I Consultant Mindset I Persistence I Determination

Hey guys welcome back to our channel consultant mindset. I hope you guys are doing great. The achievement of goals in one’s life is a challenging task. One has to get through all trials and tribulations to achieve what he wants. Dreaming is easy but making those dreams come true is a hell of a task. There are many secret ingredients to the success of the achievement of goals. These elements include determination, persistence, courage to face failures, and the ability to encounter impacts. Determination is an integral element that plays a vital role in the journey. What is that one thing that keeps you going throughout the whole process? Determination is like a blessing in disguise as it helps you to keep up with the challenges and trials. Are you determined towards your goals? Have you guys ever felt that you are giving it your all? If yes, then let me know in the comments section what challenges did you face?

Persistence comes together with determination both of these factors go hand in hand. Persistence is required so you can persist through all the hardships and struggles.  Persistence is defined as never quitting on your goals or achievements.

Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.

Calvin Coolidge

What’s the difference between determination and persistence?

Determination is the ultimate marvellous trait that helps you keep going towards your goals. Persistence is that you are resisting the failures and setbacks in the journey to success. In other words, I can say that determination is a more powerful tool than persistence or perseverance.  There are some examples of persistence for students at college. For instance, some students are not naturally capable of comprehending everything that is being taught in the class. Sometimes they have to revise everything at home so that they can grasp the concepts well. Such students pass through all the challenges and overcome those struggles by applying different techniques like revising the whole concept at home.  Improving handwriting is not something that can be done overnight it requires persistence and hard work throughout the whole process. The feelings of constant failures and setbacks can make you give up on the task. But by persisting through all the harsh thoughts one can achieve the destination.  Those students who start preparing for their exams at the end of the semester are the ones who require a great deal of persistence. 

Nothing is impossible in this world. Firm determination, it is said, can move heaven and earth. Things appear far beyond one’s power, because one cannot set his heart on any arduous project due to want of strong will.

Yamamoto Tsunetomo

What are some real-life examples of persistence at home?

The bringing up of a child is a tough task and it needs to be carried out vigilantly. When raising a kid, you have to stay persistent and patient throughout the whole procedure. At times, you may feel like quitting but you have to bear their prudent attitude with patience and perseverance. Likewise, learning a new language is a tough task. When the task is difficult you may feel disappointed and discouraged at some points. It is an incredibly difficult task for adults to learn a new language. You have to pay full attention towards the grammar and vocabulary. This way you can invest time and struggle to learn a novel language. 

How do we remain determined and persistent?

As I have mentioned in one of my previous videos, it’s quite necessary to live a practically possible life. There is no point in living a life of fantasy and Disneyland. Dreams can be fulfilled but the dreams out of human reach is just a mere fantasy. For instance, if a 100kg person wants to lose his weight to 60kgs in  1 month then it is something against the human limit. It is highly advisable to have measurable goals that can be achieved. Most of us set impossible goals and then strive for them. We continue to push our limits but it is something that cannot be achieved so it is just a waste of time and energy with no results.

Focusing on the journey is important. Constantly being worried about the outcome will divert your focus and you won’t be able to invest your full energy. Remaining focused and composed is integral as it will automatically lead you towards the journey.  

Stay focused and stay determined. Don’t look to anyone else to be your determination – have self-determination. It will take you very far.

Justice Smith

Having moral support in life is also the key factor that lets you remain motivated and dedicated. Surround yourself with positive people who never feel embarrassed or ashamed to cheer you up. Sometimes the existence of cheerful people around you can keep you motivated. Being surrounded by negative people, can drain your energy and can lower your self-esteem.  Due to this peculiar reason, you can lose faith in yourself. The greatest tasks are achieved with the greatest minds. To have a strong mindset, one of the key aspects is to be surrounded by optimistic people who prove to be good for your mental health.

Concluding this whole video, determination and persistence are the key aspects that are required to take you to the destination. Hope you guys enjoyed it. Stay tuned for more interesting posts.

Why we need to organize everything in our life | power of discipline

I want to achieve a lot. I want to do a lot of things.

I want to read a lot of books. I want to learn a lot of things. I want to earn a lot.

My friend Omer told me that, brother, you need to organize. I saw your stuff, but I feel it is not organized.

There are two things that Omer said. First, I have a lot of things, but they are not in a presentable way.

The second point is literally about disorganization.

I read a lot of books, but most of them are never finished.

My laptop has pictures and documents that are totally disorganized. and when I required something, I never found it.

I want to become an expert in supply chain management as a functional consultant in D365 Finance and Operations. I have links to different topics in a given subject and, as a result, never become confident.

My personal finances are all a mess. I have a rough idea of how much I need to pay. How much I spent, but no proper capture of what I spent and will is necessary.

That point is a turning point in my life. Both points are true. Neither I am organized nor my work is presentable.

It is said if you want to understand any person. Overserve his room. If everything is placed in the right order, it means he will be successful in life.

After understanding this point, I decided to organize what I already had and then move forward. First, I need to review what things I have and what tasks I already have. What books have I already read? which are completed, and which are partially completed. I list everything.

First things I organize my room and my wardrobe. What is required, what is not—I have done many things that are no longer required. You can move these things into the storeroom, so if possible, in the future, they will be required.

I define the location of everything. And strict to always place those things. For example, where will my keys be? Where do I need to place my body spray? Where do my clothes need to be placed?

https://youtu.be/KKwAHP3IGh0

For the day-to-day tasks, I started following the Getting Things Done methodology. After six months of effort, results are starting to appear. As an immediate benefit, I found that I stopped forgetting what important task I had to complete.

I make GTD things kanbanboard in the Timesprite productivity app. It was one of the best apps I ever used. I give me future prospects and remind me how much time I have left.

For books. I moved all my PDFs into one folder. I made a subfolder with the name “current reading”. This folder contains only one book. Until it is completed, I stop moving on to the next book.

For notes, I started using Second Brain by Tiago Forte. In addition to that, I made four folders, and all notes will be shifted. The only difference is that I make notes with the name Daily Archieve. I start storing everything there, and every month or week ends. I moved things into different folders.

For office work, I started using Eisenhower. The Eisenhower Matrix Take notes on every task currently assigned to me, and then move them into the Eisenhower matrix. And start working on only a specific task.

The things that are urgent are seldom important, and the things that are important are seldom urgent.” Dwight D. Eisenhower, probably

For things I want to learn. First, I made a list of things under the subject. And start working on them one by one. And when each topic was completed, I added my notes and links to that area. So in the future, if I need to revise, this makes me a little confident.

For personal finance. I started using two things. Excel or a goal sheet. And start noting down every penny spent on it. Second, I start following Baby Steps from Dave Ramsiy. It is a good start. The only difference between what I do and what Dave Ramsiy says is that I start making a budget first. Instead, I start capturing everything first. After one month of efforts, it was clear to me where and what amount I spent. Then I start making a budget and following it.

for better presentation of work to your management. I start with the idea that “begin with the end in mind.” For communicating with management about when a task is complete, I start adding extra time. Instead of focusing on your personal satisfaction, I started focusing on management satisfaction. Before delivering any task, I start asking the following questions:

Is it completed? If it is not completed, speak to management. It is in progress. It will take more time.

Is it presentable? If not, do more work on it. Color notes, correct grammatical mistakes, and start following the pyramid principle. Focus on the starting and ending of the task report.

As I start getting organized, my presentation starts to improve, and my delivery of work improves. And my professional and personal life will be much better.

How to Stay Focused and Determined in Your Studies: Tips and Tricks I The Consultant Mindset I Consultant Mindset I Motivation I Mindset

Hey guys welcome to consultant mindset. I hope you guys are doing great. A goal cannot be achieved until it is incorporated with a fixed intention. Dreaming about all the wildest things is not enough to proceed towards a peculiar goal. You must continue to pursue those wild dreams with persistent efforts and struggle. Determination is that force which ignites you to move towards your goal no matter how many hurdles and challenges come between you and your goal. You never turn your back on your dreams. There may be times when you feel like quitting and not moving forward. This is the stimulus that you still need to push yourself towards the determined goals. In the beginning, you may feel that you are not making any progress but it is just a mere delusion. You only stop making progress when you stop working. Quitting is the only tool which can stop your progress. Determination is a powerful weapon that keeps you firmly attached to your goal. A goal without determination and persistence is just useless. The achievement of goals is a set of multiple components which are required to make them practically possible.

You’ve done it before and you can do it now. See the positive possibilities. Redirect the substantial energy of your frustration and turn it into positive, effective, unstoppable determination.

Ralph Marston

All the creators and successful personalities who are enjoying the limelight of success passed through such difficult times and challenges but they never gave up. The famous, CEO and founder of SpaceX and Tesla, Elon Musk was not wealthy from the start. He initiated a small business with his brother in their apartment. The idea was to sell their products to the people with the aid of the Internet. But in that era, the use of the internet was not common. Many people didn’t know about it so they used to get zero sales. But the significant tool they kept with them was they never gave up. They started selling their products door to door until their company became successful. That is how Elon Musk became rich and successful. He never lost to setbacks and failures; he has always learned from them. That’s why today his companies are growing tremendously and immense sales have become his fate. 

Desire is the key to motivation, but it’s determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal – a commitment to excellence – that will enable you to attain the success you seek.

Mario Andretti

Another prominent brand that remained stuck to its goal and kept on improving its product is Microsoft. It is another example which remained determined to make their company a humongous success. The products of Microsoft were rejected several times, but Bill Gates along with his team continued to put undefined efforts into them. In the end, they succeeded in making these products a great success. 

The important thing to realise in this whole scenario is not to confuse stubbornness with determination. Determination is mainly sticking to your goals and improving persistently, whereas stubbornness is just sticking to your goals without making any improvements. 

How can you continue to improve yourself and remain determined towards your goals?

Keep Measurable Goals

Having meaningful and practically achievable goals is a significant game changer. Goal setting is important but, before that going for measurable goals holds great importance. It is useless to waste your energy and resources on those goals that are not even within your human limit. Act wise and always choose those goals that are within the boundary of human capability. Determination is an ongoing dynamic journey toward a compelling vision that cannot be denied. 

Faith In Yourself 

Having confidence in oneself is of utmost significance, as it empowers you to attain goals that might otherwise appear unattainable.  Self-belief gives you beast powers and makes you do wonders. You might experience feelings of inadequacy and unworthiness towards a specific goal, but in this very moment, it’s crucial not to overlook your inner strength and determination, which have the potential to enable remarkable achievements.

Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement.

Golda Meir

Trust Your Intuition And Inner Voice

At times, your inner voice provides more accurate guidance than all the advice that surrounds you. During the journey, you may reach a point where you must make a particularly challenging decision. This will be the moment when you need to consider your intuition. Trusting your instincts will lead to results that prove beneficial for your interests.

Dedication is the key that can make you achieve your ultimate humongous goals. You should never leave the side of dedication and always remain glued to it.

Idea of one thought, task, opinion is sweet – Baba Bulleh Shah

Today is my 11th day of being jobless. I am sitting in Dubai. Today, my interview was held. It was good, but not exceptional. I prepared a lot. After the interview, negative thoughts came into my mind. This results in sadness and depression.

What if I start to think in the opposite direction? Instead, I thought I would not be selected as a candidate. What if I think positively?

I will be hired or not, but it will help me stay calm in the present moment.

At that moment, Baba Bulleh Shah’s 250-year-old poem came to mind. Its talks about the follow-through of one idea.

Alif Allah Alif Allah Nal rataa dil meraa,

Menu Bai di khabar naa kaii..

Bai parhiyaan menu samajh naa aavey,

Main lazzat Alaf di paayi..

Aina Te gainaa nuu main samajh na jaana, Gal Alaf samjhaaii..

Bulleyaa Kaul Alaf De Purey,

Jehrey Dil Di Karan Safaaii.. SAI

One place I read Alif Ishaqa raata dil mera

But here, Baba Bulleh Shah uses the word Allah. One idea starts with Allah’s name.

The basic theme here is oneness; focus on one idea. There is no duel inside you. Either I have to do it or not do it.

If Allah or Ishaq, both ideas stand for firmness.

Ishaq is an extreme form of love that occurs when I and you become one.

So how is this poem still relevant? How it will give me an advantage in life

One thing at a time, one idea, one firm idea, or a single decision

Always work on a single task; there is no multitasking or dueling thoughts when taking decisions.

It’s my understanding. My heart belongs to oneness. I cannot understand the second opinion or thought. Duality means a second thought. We have thoughts about positive outcomes as well as negative outcomes.

And this second thought of negative output breaks us and does not take us action.

I love the idea of following a single thought. And this thought brought me to Alif.

Before taking action, the idea of failure and success has less meaning. This idea I understand from the concept of Alif.

But, bulleh yaha, you confirm that the idea of one thought will lead to success; it is a promise. But for this, you have to clear your heart of hate, jealousy, and disheartiness, and clear the thought of a second opinion of failure.

The idea is simple: choose one path, make one decision, and put effort into it. Do not sit on two boats. Take decision. Stay grounded and focus on the positive. When optimism comes, deal with it, learn from it, and adjust your direction again for the same goal.

“Unlock Your Determination: Tips for Building a Stronger Mindset” I The Consultant Mindset

Hey guys I hope you are doing great. Welcome back to our channel the consultant mindset. Before we dive into our new video remember to subscribe to our channel. Life is all about struggles and challenges. Some of us remain dedicated throughout this whole process while some lose hope and start to get demotivated.  A person becomes demotivated due to a reason like being unable to get his interest in the task. The task done without any rewards or fun bears no fruit at all. A fresh student always takes initiative with all his might and it is human nature to remain boosted at the beginning of any task. The real task is to remain motivated and consistent in the entire journey. To keep up that motivation, we have to suffer with a lot of hardships and difficulties. But in the end, we succeed in achieving them. How do the students remain dedicated towards their tasks? It requires a lot of effort to remain dedicated and consistent in what you do. Motivation is not something you can get on the plate. 

Is It Normal to Never Feel Motivated While Studying?

The answer to this question is yes, it is alright if you don’t feel the spark of motivation all the time. Humans have emotions and they are unable to remain lively and cheerful all the time. This is what differentiates us from robots. 

How can we ignite ourselves to remain motivated? What are those strategies by which we can approach persistent dedication and mastership to remain motivated?

Set Clear Goals 

Setting goals is quite significant in the journey of accomplishment. A self-aware person and sensible person is always bestowed with this knowledge of what he wants in his life. A journey without objectives is just like you are wandering in the dark without any luminescence. Setting goals makes everything clear to you. When the path is known to you, achieving the journey won’t be a difficult task for you. While setting goals, your goals must be measurable and achievable. It is important to take this thing into account that goals which are practically impossible to achieve should not be taken into consideration. Aiming for immeasurable goals wastes the time and effort of an individual. It is better to work smart rather than hard. As a student, if you want to complete your study goals then it is required to set some easy measurable goals. This way the thought of achieving the measurable goal won’t lower your energy.

Set your goals high, and don’t stop till you get there.

Bo Jackson

Create a Schedule 

Creating a schedule for studies not only organises your life but also makes you feel motivated. Creating a well-structured study schedule can indeed induce motivation and help you stay on track with your studies. A schedule provides a sense of order, clarity, and purpose, making it easier to manage your time effectively. You can initiate this by building the timetable with your existing commitments of classes, homework and extracurricular activities. Determine how much time you have available for all your important chores.

Set Priorities

 Setting priorities holds a significant importance in a student’s life. Students have deadlines and due dates in their assignments and projects so they need to prioritise those things that are of great interest. The assignments and projects which need to be submitted earlier should be completed first. This way it will release a sense of accomplishment and make the student feel motivated. Focus on those objectives which have a greater impact on your lives. 

To those of you who received honours, awards and distinctions, I say well done. And to the C students, I say you, too, can be president of the United States.

George W. Bush

Staying Committed While Studying 

It is necessary to stay committed while studying because commitment is something that needs to be fulfilled. Dedication is possible only when you remain sincere with yourself. We tend to lose motivation when it comes to an end. the level of motivation and dedication should not get distracted by the surroundings. Always remain committed to yourself and to your goals as well. Staying committed can be challenging but it is necessary in achieving your academic goals.

Productivity is never an accident. It is always the result of a commitment to excellence, intelligent planning, and focused effort.

Paul J. Meyer

Stay Inspired 

Studying books, articles or newspapers related to your field can help you remain dedicated and committed to your goal. Always try to remain involved in the matters that can aid you in polishing your skills. Ups and downs are part of life and we should not feel lower after facing setbacks or failures. Always aim for high so you can achieve high.

Dedicated to city of Riyadh, feel like home

Ah, with in one hour, I am leaving Riyadh; tough time a head, I will be on unpaid leave.

My assignment is over. I am getting released from the project.

I leave my assignment happily. But I feel mixed feelings for the city of Riyadh and my time here.

I spent almost 8 months here.

I was very hopeful about the assignment. But at the end, I was eliminated. People are more hardworking than me. Any how that is part of game.

I spent almost all my time in Riyadh alone. I explore a lot of areas. Meet a lot of good people.

The following couplet came into my mind while packing my luggage. The following song came into my mind.

While my sanajah is the city of Riyadh. Goodbye, Riyadh; I have good alone time with you.

While my sanajah is the city of Riyadh. Good by Riyadh, I have good alone time with you.

At your door step, I am going to fullfil the hunger of my eyes

————–

eho sade pakra di khair

This is my one wish to the saints

========================================================

sajnaa, ve sajna, ve sajna

Beloved, oh beloved, oh beloved

========================================================

jag bhaave rus jaaye, rab bhaave rus jaaye

The world can get mad at me, God can get mad at me

————–

sanu sade mitran di lehar

I have you (my beloved) to rely upon

————–

maana marjaaneya ki shehar tera vekheya ooye

Maan, now that I have seen your city

————–

saatho bhuli jandi na dupehar

I cannot forget that afternoon heat

========================================================

sajnaa, ve sajna, ve sajna, ve sajna, ve sajna

Beloved, oh my beloved, oh beloved, oh beloved, oh beloved
