New Year Resolutions - Week 33 Achievements & Failures #TheLifesWay

Hi Friends,

I think I am telling more about the achievement and less about failures but there is always an internal struggle that keeps happening with something or the other part of your life for which you are not happy. I am never happy about the fact that despite working hard on The Life's Way - this has not gotten the recognition it wanted and still I am struggling to make it all work. Definitely, there is something not done right from my end and I want you guys to tell me what I am not doing correctly? Give me your comments on any platforms you are following me on or else send me an email from the bottom of the page.

Week 33 - Sat 13 Aug 2022 - Fri 19 Aug 2022

1. Thank You - There was a complete halt of this habit in the month of August, especially during the previous week and I could only do 6000 for the whole week. I think I left the counter someplace and couldn't find the same also for many days. Anyways, I am sure I will meet the yearly goal of 1 Million for sure. It's always great to look at the big picture you are working towards and the small problems build your confidence to move forward for sure. This week I completed the 100k from the counter of 74000 and took it to 42000 again at the end of 19-Aug-22. 

2. Goodies - YouTube Creator 360 event goodies finally reached my home address and I was extremely happy to receive something with my channel name on the jacket they sent. It's in YouTube colours and you can check out the video here. I also worked on creating YouTube thumbnails for already posted videos and then sharing the tweets. YouTube thumbnail creation is an added task in itself and there should be a dedicated day for the same. I am using the Canva platform to create the same. 

3. Skillshare - I bought an annual subscription to Skillshare for USD 24 based on the notion class of Ali Abdaal and I am now spending a lot of money on books and courses to extend my knowledge further. Since YouTube monetization is enabled I am spending a lot of money on things that I always wanted even without a single cent coming into reality towards me. YouTube I am sure sends money at a certain interval or threshold and I have not reached the same yet and am still pending some address verification from my side as well. 

4. Walking - I am constantly losing out on the weekly targets against the 660 kilometres, I could only reach 645 kilometres. There is a gap of 15 kilometres which I can now take into consideration as 1 week's leave and can reset the same too but let's carry on and see if the gap broadens then we can do the same. This is because I have a target of 1000 kilometres in 52 weeks so we have 2 weeks of furloughs available. I am using the Huawei Watch GT 2e for tracking purposes. 

5. Launch Events - I was invited to the biggest launch in terms of new products at Xperience Huawei 2022 launch event that happened at Sandton Convention Centre and the goodies received were a luxurious backpack which you can watch here. I still have to share the goodies received at the Samsung launch event and I will do so soon in the upcoming videos. I am doing all these videos for you so that you guys what goes into these events and what do you get out of it in case you are interested in becoming a blogger or YouTuber in the future? Your experience might be different in case you are top of the class but general category admissions will be like what I am showcasing to you. 

6. Books and Audiobooks - I completed one book by Sandeep Krishnan called Mind of a Consultant and picked up his other book named Making of a CEO. The mind of a consultant is a definite read for all management graduates and those who are not. This brings back all the knowledge that was acquired during the long hours in the MBA school I attended and that you also wish to attend. You shall definitely listen to the same on Audible or buy a book. 

The struggle is always there but these books and audiobooks help you gain perspective and things your mind has put on hold and your memory is also not serving you. Books are the only way you can gain back your confidence to speak and putting those skills learned from books can help you grow in any area you want. My focus is on the Growth Mindset and Execution for the rest of the year. 

Cheers!!!

New Year Resolutions - Week 20 Achievements & Failures #TheLifesWay

Hi Friends,

Week 20 is the last week before my brother arrives from the USA and it's going to be the time to get everything ready for him and his family. I will see his daughter after a gap of 5 years and the younger one I have never met who will turn 2 in August 2022. I saw the princess when she was just 6 months old and now will celebrate her 6th birthday in Aug as well. 

Week 20 - Sat 14 May 2022 - Fri 20 May 2022

1. Walking - I completed 19 kilometres this week and it is still a good effort from the previous week when my leg was paining a lot. The weekly targets in terms of walking and other things are going to be difficult when my brother will be here. 

2. Thank You - Took the same from 82670 to 100k and then again to the 6000 mark during the course of this week. It's a celebration in terms of the completion of another 100k for the month. 

3. Entertainment - It was time to watch Panchayat Season 2 and totally fall in love with the TVF production company again. It made me cry, laugh and curious enough to wait for the next season which will be released in some year's time. I also watch the RRR movie which is a visual extravaganza. I totally loved the whole storyline, action and VFX as showcased in the movie. Totally worth your time. 

4. Launch Events - I was invited to the YouTube Creator Day - Africa Month Celebrating African Voices as a member of the Youtube Shorts community. It was an awesome and grand affair and we learned a lot. The event gave us an awesome goodies bag as well which you can watch here on my Youtube channel. I received my first Google Smart Speaker at the launch event. Another launch event was for HMD Global - Nokia Smartphones which was at a great location named Dreambox which is really Instagram-worthy. I totally fell in love with the same and the goodies received were formed into a video as well. 

5. Hanuman Chalisa - I am now left with only 200x japs of Hanuman Chalisa from the goal of 42x Years of the same. I am really happy that I am progressing fast on the same. 

6. Social Media - I have been not been able to schedule the posts to be shared on Instagram or Facebook during the next few days. I am sure it will have some gap of 3-4 weeks before I start them again as my blogging has reduced on my website. I will get back to the same as I was more focussed on the Youtube channel and creating more and more videos there. 

All the goodies I am unboxing are only for the time when I receive or buy them and after a little, while I give them away to someone visiting me or the person whose birthday is near and sometimes ship them away to my family and friends. All the small goodies are not kept with me if I don't need them and not using them right away. All the snacks are also distributed right away to all the kids around me. 

WEEK 19

Cheers!!!
