INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE

FULL TRANSCRIPT

Hello and welcome to the Malkan Show podcast. I am Meghana Malkan, thank you so much for joining me today for this episode of the podcast.

I know your time is valuable and I am really happy that you are listening to me today.

I have begun this podcast because after being coached by the world’s best, I wanted to share with you guys what success habits, success tools, and cues have helped me get onto higher levels of performance at work, have great relationships with my spouse and kids and what really helped me stay focused and motivated all the time.

How often do we hear people telling, that one should never be satisfied with one's work because satisfaction ultimately leads to complacency?

Usually, people feel that if you're satisfied with what you have in life, you do not do well in your career. But the question to really ask yourself is, does satisfaction really drain your motivation or does it really weaken your resolve for excellence?

The answer is no, it does not. Those who are never satisfied and never at peace, can't tune in to their own zone.

When they're dissatisfied, their mind prevents them from finding a rhythm that makes them feel alive and effective. And also when you're not satisfied, you do not feel connected. You do not feel gratitude for the moment, the full level of engagement.

And the joy that we talk about is so absent when you're just feeling dissatisfied. And this is because dissatisfaction means that you are obsessed with the negatives and you're feeling depressed, or to really, you know, appreciate others.

And this negativity leads to the total lack of gratitude, the same gratitude that makes life so magical.

So, people who are generally dissatisfied, they are just, you know, kind of busy all the time, hunting for some dream day or that perfect day when they might have, perfection in their lives. And this whole kind of attitude puts you into a “perfection zone”, where you have very high standards, which in a way is very good.

But if you're always beating yourself up for imperfection, then that's not a good thing at all, is it? It can make you extremely anxious about making mistakes in whatever you do. And that on the country makes your good performance impossible.

And it also adds this fear, to all your actions and to top it all up when you get into a zone where whatever you do or whatever you achieve, you're always be dissatisfied.

And how bad is that? So overall it's a miserable feeling. Maybe that's why this feeling is a highly rated one related to depression.

Now, if the dissatisfaction is so bad, why do you think so many people have to be dissatisfied to succeed? That's the next question? I always used to find an answer to this question.

Maybe because it feels completely natural and automatic, and it is so easy to be dissatisfied because noticing what's really wrong with the situation. Is there a human habit of evolution?

Think about it. It just comes naturally to us, but a very important distinction here is that being satisfied does not mean settling for what is, it simply means accepting and taking pleasure in what is that's loving yourself to feel contented whether or not a thing is complete a perfect.

For instance, if you're working on a project, you can feel satisfied, even though you're trying to make it better, or even though you're away from the project deadline, or even though not sure how the project is going to end up into.

So, this sense of satisfaction does not mean that you have everything figured out also does not mean that you don't care about the details. It only means that you have made a simple choice in life to be satisfied rather than be dissatisfied.

I know some of you may be thinking right now that generally, you have, you may have been dissatisfied in life, but you find that you are successful right now. Isn't it?

The thing is that our arts need not have to feel so negative as to feel dissatisfied and ultimately leading to depression. And if you've still allowed this dissatisfaction to be your way of life, you will soon see your performance lag because, at some point in our lives, we all lead that off of satisfaction and for meaning, so what do we do?

Just identify and just think about, and following these three simple steps, it's a simple three-step framework, which if you follow you'll get on to being successful while being satisfied all the time.

So step number one is just letting yourself be in the moment. It's kind of, you know, letting yourself enjoy more moments in the present.

Pat yourself on the back high five, the team for a great effort and recognize that you're okay and things are really going your way.

Your teammates, your colleagues, and your family will enjoy and appreciate, and recommend you more to people. And soon the dissatisfaction will be replaced with real connection and play.

And when that happens, you reach an entirely new level of mastery and performance. And then step number two is to just be present to what it is it's like not living in the past and not living in the future when you are in the moment. And you're really satisfied with what you're doing.

You can access greater flow and greater potential and step number three, it's a very, very simple step that you can do to get into the zone is to start journaling every day.

At the end of the day, it could be as simple as writing down three things that really went well that day much better than what you expected, any progress or blessing that you feel grateful for can find its way in your journal. At the end of the day, this is extremely simple and cliched.

And you may feel that you know, you've heard people talk about this or your hope we will recommend this, but it's the time guys that we start following this because this is simple yet very effective because it helps you to perform well.

All that you have to do is appreciate your blessings. Enjoy the journey, recall your wins and feel the magic that unfolds.

So, I urge you just follow these three simple steps and you'll see your life move on to better performance real soon with satisfaction.

Yes. Yet being happy. Dissatisfied. I wish you all the best.
