Fertilizers for Motivation

Never let people define who you are. Or tell you what you should be doing or your goals in life. You are you. You create your own dreams and chase them because dreams can be a reality. 

 

Comparing is a disease of the mind. Don't compare yourself to anyone. Just carry on at your own pace

You don't need attention and compliments to feel good about yourself. Being confident can make you happier. Happiness starts with you. 

Only focus on your goals. Don't be distracted by others. The only way to succeed is to focus on yourself and what is best for you.

Be kind. Be nice. Think good of others.

It makes a difference,

a good one.

Bring on the Challenge!

" Challenges are what make life interesting, overcoming them is what makes life meaningful"

Today I accomplished a task that was given to me. One of my colleague initially did not want to teach me this complicated task as he thought that it would TOO DIFFICULT. But I realise, as days goes by, I became BORED at work. YES!! There wasn't any challenge anymore. I was doing the same things every single day. I wanted an UPGRADE. So I asked my colleague if I could actually try this "system" myself after he thought me. And I know he did not look confident. He would actually come over to my desk and check up on me once awhile (which i got a little annoyed after a while because I WANT TO LEARN IT INDEPENDENTLY!). After 15 minutes or so, I finished the task and figured out the system MOSTLY by my own and I called my colleague to check and he was AMAZED AND SHOCK. His reaction was funny as he said "Wow, you are so good. I did not expect this from you!" That statement made me realise five things. 1. I am motivated by challenges 2. I am a fast learner 3. I feel MORE accomplished and motivated by finishing a challenge 4. I am crazy about challenges 5. I am competitive by nature


You know what? I think I might know where I want to be heading in life (yes,just by this incident). And I feel super super blessed by this thinking because I have been feeling so down and so unmotivated these days. I tried to find the drive in me but it failed. I took the time to plan out challenges for the past few weeks and I realise why not challenge myself FOR REAL and keep myself motivated yet benefit from it. Thus, here would be my plan... Challenge 1 (Health) I challenge myself to actually workout at least 10 minutes everyday. It has to be an intensive one because it is only 10 minutes. Challenge 2 (Career) I challenge myself to start a new business. Something I can run by myself and something I am confident that it will work. I could ask for help but I need to handle it ALL MY OWN.


Challenge 3 (Spiritual) I challenge myself to at least read 3 pages of the Quran every single day. Why 3 because it is an odd number* and I realise '5' was too much for me each day and '1' is just pathetic hahahaha I told myself I could do better. Challenge 4 (Knowledge) I challenge myself to read at least once a week about something meaningful or beneficial. It could be an article or a book. And I have to share and reflect about it in a blog post. Challenge 5 (Eliminate Distractions) I challenge myself to spend lesser time on social media. I could use my phone for reading and work wise but to lessen time being on social media. If I am focus on Challenge 1-4, challenge 5 would be easy peasy.

May Allah give me and those reading this (if there is) the strength to go through challenges in life. Aamiin!
