Hey there, thank you for tuning in to Rina Makhdoom’s blog! Today, I want to share with you seven powerful steps that will help you become the author of your own life. Are you ready to create an awesome life, up-level your business, attract more money, and cultivate better relationships and friendships? Well, my friend, it’s time for you to take charge and become the author of your own life.
In this video, I’ll walk you through each of the seven steps that will empower you to shape your destiny. So let’s dive right in!
Step number one: Embrace setbacks as blessings in disguise. You see, when things don’t go as planned, it’s often because they’re saving you from something that wouldn’t serve you in the long run. Let me share a personal story with you. A while ago, I was determined to purchase a beautiful piece of land to build my dream house. However, thanks to a deceptive real estate agent, we lost that opportunity. At the time, I was furious, but looking back 20 years later, I realize it was a fortunate turn of events. The alternative piece of land we ended up buying was in a high-end luxury neighborhood with amazing people, while the first one turned out to be infested with mosquitoes. So remember, when things go wrong, they might actually be going wrong for you.
Step number two: Embrace your uniqueness and quirks. You are authentically you, and that’s what makes you attractive. I used to hide my strengths in math and science because I wanted to fit into the “cheerful and outgoing” stereotype. However, I soon discovered that the people who truly appreciated me valued my brain, problem-solving skills, and expertise in those subjects. Embracing my true self brought me more friends and helped me succeed in my business endeavors. So, don’t be afraid to showcase your authentic self because that’s what sets you apart.
Step number three: Embrace the lessons in pain. When someone hurts you, it’s a sign that you need to change direction. Let me share an eye-opening experience. I worked tirelessly for a company, pouring in all my energy, working nights, weekends, and going above and beyond. But after five years of dedication, they offered me a shocking 20% pay cut. Can you believe that? Still, I swallowed my pride and continued to work hard. To my dismay, after seven years, they offered another 20% pay cut. I was hurt and felt undervalued. However, that pain pushed me to shift directions. The year I left that toxic environment, I made more money than ever before. So, when someone hurts you, it’s a sign that you’re on the wrong path, and it’s time to pivot.
Step number four: Embrace your failures. Failure is not the end; it’s a stepping stone towards success. As a mentor to aspiring entrepreneurs, I’ve noticed that many of them fear failure to the point of not even trying. But let me tell you, trying and failing is far better than not trying at all. Failure means you’re pushing beyond your comfort zone, and that’s where growth happens. My mentor, Mary Kale, once said, “You fail forward to success.” So, if you want to achieve greatness, be willing to fail and learn from your mistakes. Embrace your failures because they are the building blocks of success.
Step number five: Embrace your limitations. Your limitations are opportunities to connect with others and seek help. We all have areas where we need assistance, and that’s where the beauty of human connection shines. Accepting your limitations allows you to create mutually beneficial relationships where everyone contributes their unique skills and strengths. Be your unique piece of the puzzle. And accept your limitations and let. And connect with others to fill in the pieces It’s easy now I believe you’re going to feel… Number six except your mistakes. Except your mistakes Because our mistakes are going to give us something better The only way that we can learn a new skill the only way that we can improve ourselves the only way that next year will We’ll be better than this year. Is if we make mistakes this year that will help us next year. The only way to learn. Is to have mistakes So let’s say we trust someone that didn’t deserve our trust. That was a mistake We end up with a better relationship. Let’s say we stayed too long at a job that didn’t value us. That was a mistake. So now we look for more fulfilling work.
