Everyone has different perceptions of success. There can be various forms of success like financial stability, career advancement, personal growth or even simple happiness. Even mere happiness can be a form of success for some people.  Your mindset is the main thing that plays an integral role in determining your success. Mindset is the game changer here. Have you ever tried evaluating yourself?  What kind of mindset do you guys possess? Let me know in the comment section about your point of view.

What is a mindset? mindset is a set of beliefs and regulations that shape your thoughts. It helps you remain tracked and makes things easier to achieve. The type of mindset a person beholds eventually determines his goals and objectives. There are two types of mindsets fixed mindset and growth mindset. Before we move into it remember to like, share and subscribe to our channel consultant mindset.

A fixed mindset is a term that we use for a rigid brain. A rigid brain means that a person thinks that he is born this way and has fixed talents, intelligence and skills. There is no room for growth in that mindset. Being stuck to such traits makes you give up easily. 

“As you begin to understand the fixed and growth mindsets, you will see exactly how one thing leads to another—how a belief that your qualities are carved in stone leads to a host of thoughts and actions, and how a belief that your qualities can be cultivated leads to a host of different thoughts and actions, taking you down an entirely different road.”

– Carol Dweck 

A fixed mindset leads to fear of failure and mistakes. The extreme fear of failure makes you fall into various mental illnesses. Stress, anxiety, and depression have been inflicted upon such people due to this sloth mindset. 

In comparison to a fixed mindset, there is a growth mindset. A growth mindset means always levelling up. The people who possess such a mindset have the belief on this thought that they can never fail to succeed. They embrace their failures and try to achieve their goals. The idea of having an unchanging IQ level has never been an option for them. They always go for improvements. They opt for hard work and instil their efforts to convert the impossible into possible.

 Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do.

Pele

There is always room for growth. We can always work on ourselves to be a better person than before. The point is to realise the fact that the competition is between you and your former self. The kids who have a perpetually growing mindset have this belief that they can yield results out of any difficult task.  There was an experiment conducted which had a group of 4-year-old kids. They were asked to choose between an easy task and a difficult one. Those who chose the easy task had a fixed mindset. They wanted to validate their success and wanted to achieve the title of success in their life. They had a predetermined mindset. The kids who chose the difficult task had a growth mindset. They proved that whether there are hardships and failures we will learn from them and will emerge stronger than before. Kids with fixed mindsets go for easy tasks to prove their validation. They learn nothing novel from it. They just keep sticking to the same thing. 

How Mindset Affects Success?

Mindset affects the level of your motivation. The growth mindset tricks you into believing that you can always grow and can always work on your personal growth. 

When you look at people who are successful, you will find that they aren’t the people who are motivated but have consistency in their motivation.

Arsene Wenger

A growth mindset always enables you to learn, seek and acquire innovations. A person who has a growth mindset likely to go for new opportunities and challenges.  A fixed mindset makes you feel demotivated and keeps you stuck in the current situation. 

Mindset affects your resilience. Resilience is the power to hold back and face challenges through thick and thin. When you have a growth mindset, you choose optimism. Your actions become the reflection of your optimistic approach. You don’t see failure as a negative approach instead the strong mindset lets you see it as a positive approach and learn from them. 

How Can You Develop a Growth Mindset?

Embrace challenges 

Never avoid challenges. Take the challenges as novel opportunities to shape your thoughts. This way you can explore yourself and establish new ways to conquer life.

Learn from Failure

Failure teaches you novel endeavours. It teaches you how can you have a positive outlook on the malpractices of your life. Failure makes you a stronger human than before. 

Focus On Positives

It is highly recommended to focus on the good things in your life instead of dwelling on the negative aspects.

Celebrate progress 

To keep the consistency in motivation, celebrate your progress and become cheerful about what you have achieved.

So what is starting point of Dealing with Office politics part 1.

mitrandepodcast Leave a comment

Office politics is not more than communication. When someone is communicate better than other person. He achieve the desired result. The other person thinks he faced the politics.

I am facing the same challenges, Even I am 44 years old. I am more techy than political.

Most of the time, I failed not due to my work, knowledge and expertise but I failed due to not capable to handle office politics. If you are facing the same problem. This series is about you.

And in this post, I am giving you starting point of being political. That is necessary, If you cannot do that certainly politics will do for you.

So first point is it’s not about you. Sometimes, we think, why he did with you. Why that happen to me.

” Why me Why me lord”. No if someone else is at your place, he will also face the same challenges as you faced. He faced the same office politics and also targeted about.

So first of all we have to get rid of victim mindset. It is not about us, it is about them. They did it because they want something.

So first rule is just acceptance. That is lack in your work, that is exploited. So you need to work extremely hard. Get extra time for verifying things, reading and correcting.

You must be expert in someone. Expert does not mean, you can complete the task in less time, But you can complete task with less errors.

So first article is finish here two points I shared that

Its not about you, its about them. Never take anything personal. It is professional.

Become exceptional good in anything. Suppose I decided that I will be the number one functional consultant. Then I have to put extra hours to become exceptional.

Hey guys, I hope you are doing great. Welcome to the Consultant Mindset. Everyone is striving to fulfill their necessities. All of us are working day and night to get our things done. When was the last time that you thought of focusing on yourself? When was it when you realised this fact that you need some kind of self-care as well?  There is nothing wrong with thinking about yourself and fulfilling your necessities. Whenever we do something for ourselves, people perceive it as arrogant or self-obsessive behaviour. However, it aint true. Doing something for yourself and rewarding oneself with rewards is a form of self-love. 

What Do We Mean By Focusing on Yourself?

Focusing on yourself means one should prioritize his needs and basic desires. Giving up on your necessities due to some critiques aint worth it.  The main factor of jealousy doesn’t let people see anyone live in peace. Focusing on oneself means that you are treating yourself like a royal. You are rewarding yourself at the end of the accomplishment of every task. This is what we call self-love. According to psychology, you cannot love someone unless you start loving yourself. That indicates it is necessary to love yourself to love people closer to you. When giving yourself a slave treatment, how do you expect to give your loved ones a royal treatment?

There can be no failure to a man who has not lost his courage, his character, his self-respect, or his self-confidence. He is still a King.

Orison Swett Marden

The biggest portion of focusing on oneself involves self-care and self-love. You may feel selfish and self-absorbed but start to think about it from a different angle.  Today’s society is merely involved in pleasing people. They don’t know what they want. They are just running in the constant race of pleasing people with no ending line at all. They are just living their lives according to the desires of the masses. The true self of the majority has vanished. When someone criticises us, we start to change ourselves without even realising that we are going towards a negative development.  How can we practice self-love?

Self-love needs acceptance.  Giving oneself enough space to accept his true self is a positive development. It leads you to accept your flaws and develop a love for yourself. When we set standards for a perfect human being, we become less likely to achieve them. To err is human; to forgive is divine. Humans are not bots, so they are imperfect. Imperfections are the identifiers that make us distinguished from the bots. Developing empathy and compassion for oneself leads you to be empathetic towards others. If you are treating yourself right, you are gonna treat people surrounding you with kindness and sympathy. 

Why is it Important to Focus on Yourself?

Focusing on oneself makes you realise your self-worth. It increases your self-confidence ad boosts your self-morale. You start to become the ultimate beast. You start realising what you deserve. You set boundaries and standards. Self-confidence does not allow you to settle for less.  

Every human has four endowments – self-awareness, conscience, independent will and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom… The power to choose, to respond, to change.

Stephen Covey

So, have you ever pondered about what you want in your life? Have you ever realised what kind of lifestyle you are living? Are you living according to people or yourself? This is a dire need of today’s era to realise this fact that what we want with our lives.

Make Sure You are Seeking What You Want

There are times in our lives when we acquire opinions from our elders or friends.  You can just take their guidance to guide you through the way. But it does not mean that you get swayed away from your desired destination. When listening to others, we somehow manage to get ourselves trapped in their words. We start doing what they recommend us to do unintentionally. However, asking for opinions and doing the whole thing according to them are two different perspectives.  Make sure to stick to your desires.

Let People Feel How They Feel

If people close to you are upset about your self-focus attitude, then let them be alone for a while. Let them process their emotions. We cannot make everyone happy now. We have to establish ourselves. They will feel strange for a while, but when they will get to know about your boundaries; they will eventually get used to it.

Be Kind to Yourself

Give yourself enough room to grow. Reserve time for yourself and carry out your hobbies in that time. There will be times when you gonna have some negative thoughts about yourself. Never let them move you away from your destination. Be kind to yourself and use your spare time for your self-care.

Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.

Lao Tzu

Start saying ‘no’

To please people, we cannot make ourselves deny them. For instance, if someone invited us to a party and he didn’t feel like going, then he probably should have enough courage to refuse them. But that is not how it goes. We think more about people than think about ourselves. We are worried about what they think about us. In all this amusement, we have forgotten ourselves and are living a life of what others want us to be. Most of us are reflections of what people want us to be.

Concluding this whole discussion, focusing on your self-care and self-love plays an integral role in your development. That’s all for today’s video. Hope you guys enjoyed it. Stay tuned for more interesting videos.

If someone already takes credit for your work, then you must consider this

mitrandepodcast Leave a comment

Are you failing in life? Are you putting in a lot of effort? But someone else takes the credit.

I was facing this problem in my life. And recently, I met a complete failure. Failure is not due to a lack of skill, knowledge, or ability to present. I failed for only one reason. Let me explain a little detail here.

Being frustrated, I start searching. On all books, blogs, and YouTube videos, the same things I found

  • goals and planning.
  • hard work.
  • Accept failure with an open heart.
  • perseverance and persistence.

If you apply these things, one day you will succeed.

I am getting frustrated at not knowing why I failed.

The idea came to mind: what about Chanakya? What he taught his student to build a kingdom And why still, some ancient knowledge resurfaces.

When I searched for Chanankiya, I found that we did not know much about him. Being Pakistanis, we have a very bad impression of Chankiaya. I heard he was a very clever man. Not even a single publication on Chanakiya In Pakistan.

Even When I searched on the Internet, I found that only “Radhakrishnan Pillai” wrote some books in the light of the wisdom of Chanakya.

I feel the knowledge and wisdom of Chanakiya have been lost. We are unable to place him like Plato and Socrates.

Thanks to Amazon, I purchased one book, “Think Like Chanakya,” as a kindle.

I used to purchase books on my kindle, and the Amazon kindle app on Windows is a replacement for reading these books.

“Think Like Chankaya” writer Radhakrishnan Pillai sahib mentioned that according to Chanakya, four things are required as subject matter experts.

  1. Right thinking. You are capable of making the right decisions.
  2. Knowledge of the Vedas. The Vedas are knowledge of that time. At the moment, I consider it mastering the subject. Bookish knowledge of your field
  3. Knowledge of the economy. What will sell, and what will not? Demand and supply
  4. Knowledge and science of Politics.

I discovered the first three points. I am a knowledgeable person. I have already implemented it in my personal and professional lives. The only thing missing is Politics.

I was left behind due to Politics.

Plato: One of the penalties of refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.’

Without politics, you cannot get ahead.

So every task has two parts.

  • Do the task.
  • Show the completed task.

You cannot be successful until you are able to show your work. Showing your work requires a lot of concentration. We can compete with others only through office politics.

And this is reality.

Previously, I thought politics were bad. But now that I think either is bad or good, I have to learn the art and science of politics. This is the way to go.

Achieving Success through Habits and Mindset: The Power of Habits I The Consultant Mindset I Mindset I Motivation I Success Mindset

Hey guys welcome back to the consultant mindset. I hope you guys are doing great. You all must be striving for some goals in your life. Everyone is working in their zones to get to the zenith. But are they heading towards that point? Is there anything unnecessary stopping you to achieve your goals? If yes, let me know in the comment section.  Sometimes things happen, and we fail to get what we want to achieve. Regardless of our hard work and untiring effort we somehow don’t manage to get our goals. The most common and typical problem these days is show-off. People like to flaunt their success and achievements. however, this show-off does not help them achieve their goals. Before we get further.

According to some scientific research, announcing your goals publicly releases a neurotransmitter dopamine that is responsible for the feeling of satisfaction in your body. When you tell your goals to anyone,the chances of achieving them start to lower eventually.  It is highly recommended to stay silent unless you achieve your goals. Announcing your goals publicly means you are adding more pressure on yourself. You are inviting unnecessary distractions to deviate you from the main destination.  As a result of all talk, people think that you are being a hypocrite who just talks and can never do anything in life.

Everything that’s created comes out of silence. Your thoughts emerge from the nothingness of silence. Your words come out of this void. Your very essence emerged from emptiness. All creativity requires some stillness.

Wayne Dyer

This post is all about working in silence. Never tell anyone about your next move.  What do we mean by working in silence?

Like is too short to worry about what others think about you. You are too busy to prove to anyone what you are capable of. Each of us is an equally capable human, and we don’t need anyone’s validation. The lesser you brag about your destination, the more likely you are going to get it.  Let your hard work be loud enough to make noise of your success. Telling everyone your goals beforehand makes you even more nervous and anxious to achieve them.  Constantly feeling the pressure and anxiety of not letting them down eventually lowers your work capacity. An individual’s efficiency is eventually lowered when he is constantly under pressure. When you think of people’s expectations, you start to put more effort under humongous stress. Any decision made under pressure yields no result even though you are putting in a great effort. Many people allow the public to invade their lives. They allow them to do whatever they want with their lives. Such people start living their lives according to other people’s opinions.  The marketing of success snatches the core competency of an individual. 

 “Silence at the proper season is wisdom, and better than any speech.” – Plutarch

There are some silent productivity tips which you can apply to continue work in silence. Are you aware of those tips? If yes, let me know.

Set Clear Goals

Clarity of thoughts is an important step. Are you aware of yourself? Have you ever tried to find your true self? A self-aware individual never fails to achieve anything. He gets what he desires. Almost all of us are aware of our capabilities. We know our potential and capacities. When you are going on a journey, choose a destination first.  A person without goals is just like a person wandering in a dark blind tunnel.  Organize your tangled thoughts and become self-aware of what you want in your life. 

Visualise Success

Visualising success means the power of imagination of the human mind. Imagine yourself achieving that peculiar goal. But not revealing it to anyone else is a must condition.  Just imagine yourself getting those achievements and feeling the breeze of that splendid euphoria. This way it will burn the lighter of hard work in your heart. And you will continue to push harder to enjoy that moment of euphoria. Visualising success is better than telling others. In this world, not all people are happy for us. Some jealousy factors are present in people that do not let them see anyone else ahead of them. That is one of the major reasons we should not tell anyone about our future goals.

Practice Self-Discipline

To avoid distractions, try to remain disciplined. Practice discipline even when no one is watching you. Self-discipline is necessary for one’s personal growth. Regulating your actions and performing them on time is essential to maintain the zone of your personal growth. A self-disciplined mind goes for a step-wise procedure and performs tasks.

I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is over self.

Aristotle

Practice Mindfulness and Reward Yourself

Mindfulness meditation helps you get over anxiety, overthinking, stress, depression and many more mental illnesses. It is advised to keep up with meditation. It seems quite easy, but has major impacts on the human mind. After completion of the task, don’t forget to reward yourself. Since you are working in your zone. You cannot expect rewards from others. Try to keep yourself motivated by rewarding yourself with little sweets at the end of the completion of every ask.

Concluding the whole discussion, it is essential to keep your goals private. Let your success throw the enchanting melody of your untiring hard work.

Stay tuned for more amazing post. If you guys liked it, don’t forget to give it thumbs up.

When someone told you I have a doctor’s appointment.

mitrandepodcast Leave a comment

Most of the time, we did not think before speaking. We speak because we want to share.

https://youtu.be/UB3DPtI_oPA

A couple of days ago, I learned this lesson. I got a call from my friend from the USA. We worked together in a software company, and he became my buddy. Couple of days back. He was facing a problem with sciatica, and the doctor wanted to remove the disk from his backbone. I was sitting in the room alone, seeking someone to talk to.

I got a call from him; he just told me that I have a doctor’s appointment. Instead of speaking further, I just started sharing my experience with illness. That happens; this happens; nobody cares; doctors are making money. If I just wait a few days, I can save money on all those things. When I discuss all my experiences, I feel light, but I find he becomes more depressed. He was in pain; he wanted to share. Instead of listening to him, I made him more worried. He wants to share that he has had a small operation to remove a disk from his backbone. He started weeping about what would happen tomorrow. I shared my friend’s problem with him instead of listening to him.

It was a very embarrassing situation for me. I feel that I need to change. I would not share my experience and knowledge about the problem. I just have to listen. What I learned is that whenever someone tells you that I have a doctor’s appointment, You have to just reply, “You will be well soon”. And try to listen to him and give him hope that things will be better. Never ever share your or others people stories with him.

Deadline is reaching I have 6 weeks and Good Omens are here

mitrandepodcast Leave a comment

Ah, I have 6 weeks, but 3 days have already passed. I start searching for jobs and apply to different places. Try to connect different people.

Today, on a hot summer day in Riyadh, I was walking in line under trees with little shadow. I was feeling a little depressed, thinking about what would happen after September 5. My company will find another job for me because my contract will end. If I get a job without their help, will they cooperate with me or not?

What will happen? Possible stress was on my face. The temperature was more than 50 degrees Celsius. While walking on the footpath, Mercedes stopped. I was surprised. An Arab in Modern dress in his mid-30s gave me a chilled water bottle. The moment I saw and touched the bottle, a smile and happiness came to my face. He enjoyed my expressions, and I thanked him, and his car moved away. I was thinking that this is God’s omen for me, that if I trust in God, things will be better. Or It is just a normal incident.

How this idea came into my mind In Dubai, I have one Hindu friend who has a lot of knowledge. Another question is about his knowledge of right and wrong. He told me, God is in everyone, and when you were in trouble And called him, he replied to you indirectly. I don’t believe in this ideology.

I just know that good people are everywhere, which is why he gave me a chilled water bottle. Because Allah added it to his heart to distribute water. The idea came to him from Allah. So everything is from Allah.
