Mi365's Podcast

Shut The Duck UP - Mental Strength To Perform At Your Best  You might be wondering why this podcast is called “Shut the Duck Up!”  The duck refers to the inner voice that we all have. If we desire a different result in any area of our lives, we need a different dialogue in our head. And that’s what this podcast is about. This recording was created in Dubai as it workshop I delivered on the title. So here’s a question for you: What three things do you believe that are costing you greatly in multiple areas of your life?  The beliefs that direct our lives are either conscious or unconscious. Some are true, and some are false; some make us feel good, some serve us and others hurt us. Sometimes the question is not whether a belief is true or false as often that’s far too subjective to answer with absolute objectivity; but rather is this belief useful? Does this belief make my life better in anyway? Or, is it causing me pain, frustration and limiting my quality of life, work and relationships?  Clearly, if the

“The meaning of life is not simply to exist, to survive, but to move ahead; to go up, to achieve, to conquer.” - Arnold Schwarzenegger What is the meaning of life? Has this question ever crossed your mind, or have you been too preoccupied with your daily survival? What if spending time to reflect on this inquiry would dramatically change your life for the better? Would you then spend time thinking about your life’s meaning? Today I am going to do just that. I am going to give you insights into the meaning of life and hopefully give you the capacity to seek out what you are capable of and help you have a goal-driven, happier, more fulfilling life, so spend some time with me and listen. Highlights: ⚡️ The meaning of life is to transcend from, to rise above, or be better than who we were. We must aim at the highest possible goal that we can conceive and work towards it despite the challenges. ⚡️ Many people are tyrants ruling over their future selves and if they do not transcend, then life will never change. ⚡️ 

Why should mental health be a global priority? Simply because mental health problems are more prevalent now and the numbers are alarming. According to the World Bank, as of last year almost 1 billion people live with mental disorder and 1 person commits suicide every 40 seconds. Many people do not realise that they live by the hormones of stress and fear and that mental health problems such as depression, anxiety, bipolar, schizophrenia, addiction and stress stop them from living a more fulfilling life. The world will be in a more difficult crisis as the number of people afflicted with mental disorders rise. Therefore, now is the time for people like you to change your ways. Do not be a victim. Listen and learn how you can improve your mental health. Be the person you want to be and live the life you so desire.   Highlights: People want to evolve and overcome their limitations. Many people live a life they do not want because they are addicted to stress, fear, doubt, worry and anxiety. Many people do not know

“If you do not know to ask the right question, you discover nothing.” - Dr. W. Edwards Deming People have a habit of asking why, even children would automatically ask why whenever we explain or answer their questions. As adults, we would often ask why when we are in distress. We would even talk to ourselves and ask: why is this happening to me, why is my life so depressing, why is my life meaningless, why is it that no matter how hard I try or how hard I work, I cannot seem to have a better life?  Do not get me wrong, it is good to ask why, because it gives you the opportunity to reflect and search for answers, but should we just bother ourselves with the why? Is it not equally important to ask what, who, and where? Are you baffled? Listen in as I explain and untangle the confusion. Highlights: ⚡️ Having a why will not automatically lead you to where you want to go or who you want to be. ⚡️ Your current self does not necessarily equate to the future you. ⚡️ It is a necessity to determine who you want to becom

“Stop lying to yourself. When we deny our own truth, we deny our own potential.” - Steve Maraboli Each of us, yes not only you, not only me, but all of us have lied to ourselves once or probably even multiple times in our lives. You might even be lying to yourself right now as you are reading this, but are you happy with the lies that you have told yourself? Where has it gotten you? Has it really helped you be the person you want to be, or has it led you to a life of discontentment? If you have realized that lying to yourself has only been a temporary fix and has not really done you any good and want to stop, then listen to this episode and step into the exceptional version of you. You deserve to be the best. Highlights: ⚡️ We lie to ourselves when we are not being truthful to our own selves, do not do what we say we are going to do, and blame ourselves. ⚡️ You cannot lie to your subconscious because your subconscious remembers. ⚡️ Believing you deserve a future is a hard thing to do. ⚡️ Our past affects who

“If you keep telling the same sad small story, you will keep living the same sad small life.” - Jean Houston Are you in a wave of déjà vu? Do you feel like nothing is changing, nothing is improving, and that achieving your goals is drifting farther and farther away from you? Do you want to continue living the way you are right now? Is it doing you good or do you want to do better? If so, allow me to show you how you can have a more exciting and fulfilling life.  Stop living a stagnant life and start realizing your dreams. Highlights: ⚡️ People are stuck because they think who they were was all they had to be, have unresolved issues, and cannot overcome themselves and the story they tell themselves. ⚡️ Your outcome is a direct result of what you do.

“It is a peculiarity of man that he can only live by looking to the future.” - Viktor Frankl Most people are living a life they do not want because they fail to realize that their present selves do not need to be their future selves. They have become unaware that their repeated actions are leading them to a stagnant life. They have an identity that is committed to short-term rewards. What is identity? Who are you committed to becoming? Are you aware that you have the power to change and choose your own path to a better future? Tune in as I answer these questions and help you on your quest for a better life, a better you.   Highlights: ⚡️ Your identity is what you are committed to and what you are committed to is reflected in your own behavior, which in turn shapes our perception ⚡️ Humans are driven by their view of the future. ⚡️ Everyone needs help from time to time. You are not alone ⚡️ Honesty is a powerful ability ⚡️ We are kept from our goals by clearer paths to lesser goals

“When your mind is preoccupied, your impulses - not your long-term goals - will guide your choices.” - Kelly McGonigal Are you one of the many people who easily give in to the temptations of eating sweets, smoking, drinking alcohol, buying things you do not need, or just sitting and going through social media for hours? Do you realise that giving in to temptations only provides temporary satisfaction and hinders you from becoming a better person? To have a better life one needs to have the willpower to overcome these temptations. Willpower is defined as the ability to resist temptations or control impulses. These temptations provide short-term gratification and hinder us from achieving our long-term goals. Having willpower along with other factors can give you a better life. Listen in as I give you insights on how you can unleash the power within you to have the great life you deserve. Highlights: ⚡️ As children, we are filled with enthusiasm about the possibilities of the future, but we lose that enthusiasm

“High performers cultivate joy by how they think, what they focus on, and how they engage in and reflect on their days. It’s a choice.” - Brendon Burchard Everyone wants to be part of the elite, the top class, and I am sure you want to be one of them as well, but why aren’t you? What is stopping you from being exceptional? Do you realize that the things you do every day can prevent you from being the achiever that you could have been? You have the power within you to excel, to supersede others, but most particularly your present self. You can be remarkable. Give thought to what I have to say and let the extraordinaire out of you and into the world who needs him. Highlights: ⚡️ A high performer is someone who excels by not only accomplishing beyond what people expect of him but likewise outperforming his previous best and going beyond his own expectations. ⚡️ A real high performer is driven by who he wants to become. ⚡️ To be a high performer, one must:          ~ Recognize the thin line between success and fa

“No company, small or large, can win over the long run without energized employees who believe in the mission and understand how to achieve it.” - Jack Welch The Feel Good factor is when people are feeling hopeful, happy, and optimistic about their future, and studies have shown that this is a significant component of a company’s success. People perform at their highest peaks when they can identify themselves with the establishment’s future. But how does one achieve this element to boost business, particularly in these most challenging times?   That is where I come in as the people’s coach and help your company take the leap to a better tomorrow. I have years of experience in the matter and knowledge as to what really works in guiding people to excellence.

I care about people, and I want them to be the best versions of themselves in every aspect by

“Getting knocked down in life is a given. Getting up and moving forward is a choice.” - Zig Ziglar Feeling overwhelmed often happens when we expose ourselves to too much stress that our mind and body cannot cope with.  It is a difficult emotion to manage, and it can leave us stuck in a state or place we do not want. Are you feeling overwhelmed right now? How are you coping with it? Do you give in to this feeling? What would happen if you continued to mope around? Where will this feeling of being overwhelmed take you? Will it take you to a better life? Give me a few minutes of your time and listen to what I have to say about this and how you can deal with it. Let me help you triumph over this emotion so that you can have the future you want and be the person you were meant to be. Highlights: ⚡️ Overwhelmed means buried or drowned under a huge mass of something ⚡️ Feeling overwhelmed comes from taking in stress more than our system can adapt to. ⚡️ There is no growth without stress. Stress is a challenge ⚡️ You

“Take time to deliberate, but when the time for action has arrived, stop thinking and go.” - Napoleon Bonaparte Rumination pertains to how cows and other ruminants chew and digest their food. It also refers to how humans brood on negative thoughts. Ruminating, overthinking, or dwelling on negative thoughts will only hinder us from being the person we want to become. How long have you been ruminating? What opportunities and how much time have you lost dwelling on these negativities? Will you have a healthier, wealthier life, and have better relationships with the people around you if you keep ruminating? Listen to today’s episode and let me give you some insights on how you can stop ruminating to have a much better life. Highlights: ⚡️ Ruminating is different from reflecting. Reflecting is to get a better understanding of things. ⚡️ Ruminating leads to depression and anxiety. ⚡️ Ruminating comes from fear of expressing one’s feelings and thoughts. ⚡️ Stop Ruminating: Live a life worth living Be aware Look fr

“Your time is limited, do not waste it living someone else’s life. Do not be trapped by dogma, which is living the result of other people’s thinking. Do not let the noise of others' opinions drown your inner voice and, most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” - Steve Jobs Courage comes from the Latin word “cor” which denotes the heart as the seat of feelings. To have courage means you have the willingness to act and the ability to control fear. Are you courageous enough to stand up for yourself and be who you want to be, or would you rather follow what everyone else is doing and saying? Are you happy with how your life has turned out because of it? Do you often wonder what your life would have been if only you had the courage to be who you wanted to become? Today we are going to talk all about courage and how vital it is in achieving the life that you have always wanted. Listen and gather insi

“Every human being is the author of his own health or disease.” - Buddha Health is defined as a state free from illness or injury, but for me, it is the renewal of mental and physical conditions that leads to happiness. It is the most valuable thing, but most people do not demonstrate it in a situation. People often do not want to look at their health because they know it is not where it should be. Are you one of those who prefer to be ignorant of their health conditions rather than face reality? Would you be able to have better health and life if you did not accept the reality of where your health is? Take a few minutes to listen and hopefully realize what you are doing to yourself and have the courage to change the situation. Do not succumb to the disease. Change your habits while there is still time so that you can have a happier future. Highlights: ⚡️ Great health is a practice. ⚡️ We are more prone to inflammatory conditions as we get older, but these conditions are preventable. ⚡️ Seven major areas to a

“To be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.” - Nelson Mandela This famous quote is often quoted by world leaders while batting for international peace. Are you aware of today's significance?   Today is Nelson Mandela International Day. Who was Nelson Mandela? What has he got to do with you? In this podcast, I will share 7 Leadership Lessons From This Great Leader, South Africa's first black and democratically elected President Nelson Mandela, who devoted his life towards empowering people regardless of their religion and ethnicity and promoting dialogue and solidarity for justice and lasting peace. He left a great legacy. He is a person who fought for freedom and equality. There were things that he did intently to leave a legacy and make things better for the next generation, and that includes us.  Listen as I tell you more about him. Let us learn from him and make him our leader, our guide, so that we can be who we want to be, hav

“Your future depends on what you do today.” - Mahatma Ghandi Future Self is the person who you will be years from now. It is the person you intend to be. Do you know who your future self is, or better yet, have you decided who you are going to be in the future without thinking of any limitations? Is he or she a healthier, wealthier, happier, better person than you are today, or would he be the same as the person you are today, only physically older? Why is it important to know the person you are becoming and, more significantly, is it possible for you to have a relationship with your future self? If so, what good would it do? Tune in and let me inspire and show you how to be the person you have been eyeing to be, and realize the endless possibilities that you can have for yourself. Have a relationship with your future self and be the best person you can be, be the change the world wants you to be.
