Aida's Advice

“If you feel like there’s something out there that you’re supposed to be doing, if you have a passion for it, then stop wishing and just do it.” —Wanda Sykes

A person on average spends 14 years

at work which equals to around 123,000 hours. How important is it to do what

you truly love? It’s significantly important to do something that excites you

from within, that gives you the purpose and the meaning, to do something that

you never get tired of. It’s very important to do what you love. Unfortunately,

millions of people don’t enjoy their jobs, don’t like what they are doing,

don’t know how to make a change, are afraid of change, don’t know what their

true passion is and how to find it either and this is exactly what I would like

to cover in this episode.  

One of my favourite authors Mirzakarim

Norbekov describes the true passion as the following: “If there is something

that can you do like a crazy person, something that you can be unstoppable in,

something where you are absolutely not normal is where the true passion lays.”

I couldn’t agree more with this, because tremendous results cannot be achieved

through an average work. Legendary achievements are born throughout an abnormal

work by abnormal people. Thus, is there something that you can do where you would

love to spend most of your day? Something where you are not normal?

In this episode, I will challenge

you with very simply yet confronting questions that will help you to discover

your passion. I will help you to be 1:1 with yourself, share with you life

stories and examples and guide you to find the ways to start following your

dreams.

In this Episode, you will:

Learn about what true passion is and how to discover

this within yourself Learn how to translate your honest answers into

actionable results Listen to life examples and stories Realise the importance of doing what you love Be challenged, motivated and inspired to do what you

love Be reminded that if you truly want something, you can

achieve it

Yours truly,

Aida

“Most people fail not because of a lack of desire but because of a lack of commitment,” - Vince Lombardi

I believe that success as a definition for

everyone is different and defined on a personal level. For some people success

might be having good grades, for others it can be going up the career ladder

and for some other people it can be harmony within the family. Thus, the

definition itself of this life factor is set by each individual. However, one

of the key success factors that helps you to grow further and achieve your

goals is commitment.

Committing to something whether it’s

activities, sport, relationship, action list, work, career or anything else means

that you deliver on what you promise no matter what. If you want to achieve

your goal, turn your life around, build something amazing, you should be

committed and deliver on what you promise to yourself and those around. 

In this episode, you will have

answers for the key questions such as what commitment is, how to use commitment

in actions, how to develop commitment and how commitment impacts persona, character

and life overall.

In this Episode, you will:

Learn about commitment as one of the key success

factors Get answers to the key questions about commitment and

how to use it Listen to different life stories Realise the importance of commitment and be held

accountable for your choices Get life advice on how commitment can impact your life

and help you achieve your goals

self-limiting beliefs and allow your mind and aspirations to rise to greater
