Recently, I read this awesome quote attributed to Wesley Snipes (on his Twitter account), and I instantly copied and pasted it into my archives of useful quotes. It’s basically the title of this post – Don’t let the internet rush you; No one is posting their failures. Boom! Bam! Bing! Absolutely on point. As soon as I read it, I got goosebumps, and that’s when I know something that I am reading (or listening to or whatever) is important. That’s…
I was sitting on Facebook, as per usual, doing some work, or pretending to do some work, while I stalked some of my friends and friends’ friends. And I saw that a friend of mine was visiting Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. She is a major Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu fiend, and thus, her post was about how she spends all of her time in KL either working, or taking lessons for both of these sports. Instantly, my mind which…
I recently got my dream job offered to me on a platter. It was unexpected on all counts. Not only was I not expecting to get the job, even though I applied for it with a full heart, I didn’t expect to get it so quickly. I applied one day in the afternoon, in a random meeting with my current boss, and then the next day, I met with the owner and my boss, and they offered me the job.…
In this episode, I’ll be discussing about how self-sabotage can turn our imminent into almost a failure, or at least a few steps back. I have noticed a trend in my life. Whenever I’m close to finishing something really important or close to success in a particular area of my life, it is quite inevitable that I will do something to sabotage my own success. It is the fear of success that invades my soul at these moments. I think…
Society defines success in a weird manner. It is really f-ed up. Most people have this random goal in their head, that if achieved, would be the definition of success for them. So many of us believe that when or if we become millionaires, we will finally have that life that we dream of. One million dollars is that elusive and awesome goal that so many of us aspire to. I had the same random goal placed in my head…
In this episode, I’ll be chatting about why knowledge alone won’t bring you success. Living amongst a wide digital nomad community, I meet a lot of people who have read the books, listened to podcasts, and joined conferences or talks. These people have been inspired, impressed, energized. But was this enough to have an impact on their life? I love to learn and know that this is an addictive process. To be successful, I have to convert my knowledge into…
In this episode, I’ll be talking about failure and how the more you fail, the more you increase your chance of success. We are taught from a very early age to fear failure and avoid it as much as possible. We are punished for failing, and taught to see failures as the worst thing possible. By the time we graduate from high school, taking risks becomes uncommon. Following the trend, as adults we don’t take risks because we’re afraid to take risks.…
Doubt Is My Friend Now In this episode, I’ll be chatting about the concept of doubt and how it will stay with you forever and ever. It isn’t something that only occupies the unsuccessful; it is something that pervades every soul on this planet, no matter how successful they are. Even the most influential people! People might be at the pinnacle of success, but they are still going to wonder, ‘Am I an imposter? Do I even know what I’m talking…
What are Money Blocks? When I first started my business, I realized one major thing that I believe is the reason for my success. I realized that my worst enemy is myself. Self-sabotage is one of the major items keeping anyone from success. We don’t need to worry about others killing our success, when we ourselves do such an amazing job at it. In my case, I sabotage myself with negative thoughts, procrastination, self-doubt, and improper energy management. These are my…
