Hello, Productive .

Cultivate a positive and growth-oriented mindset to stay motivated and resilient in the face of challenges.

As a person and a business, you must develop a positive and growth mindset so that you can overcome whatever obstacles you might face.

I remember the start of my job-hunting after graduating from the Uni. I had an interview with a construction company and as a hijabi and I planned to go with my head covered. However, my father and aunt convinced me to just tie my scarf as a turban instead of having it around my head and neck. I did as they suggested though I knew better. I wasn't considered for employment after the interview and I felt at the lowest because I had obeyed the creation rather than the Creator.

Since that day, I vowed never to let another’s opinion about my beliefs affect me thereby taking me on a guilt trip. I learned to be consistent with my beliefs and values though they might not get me what I wanted. I believe that Allah knows best and He shall give me what is mine and nothing less or more. Looking back today, I’m happy that I stuck and still stuck with His commands no matter the struggles.

I am an optimist and tend to still see positivity where there are challenges because it helps me grow in any circumstance. It helps me develop resilience over time that I need to keep me motivated towards my goals.

Today, I want you to decide to have a positive and growth-oriented mindset going forward by choosing the kind of company you keep, the books you read, and believing in your Lord’s promises in relation to your life in this world and the next one. Whenever something negative happens, take a deep breath, look into the supposed negative occurrence, and take the lessons from it. There’s always a lesson or more that the negativity needs to teach you.   

To a productive you,
