WEBVTT 00:00:00.140 --> 00:00:02.379 Hi and welcome back to a new How Did You Make 00:00:02.379 --> 00:00:05.160 It? I'm Yosra, your host, and this week it's 00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:08.980 a recap episode. So what can you expect? So either 00:00:08.980 --> 00:00:12.880 a very detailed episode on some of the key insights 00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:17.239 you can take home and learn from, or a very short 00:00:17.239 --> 00:00:20.420 recap of some of the elements that stood out 00:00:20.420 --> 00:00:23.679 to me. But this episode has one goal, actually 00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:26.820 two. The first, a call to action, to you to learn 00:00:26.820 --> 00:00:29.339 from the guest. And to you to actually go to 00:00:29.339 --> 00:00:31.820 listen to the full episode and learn from the 00:00:31.820 --> 00:00:36.820 guest yourself. So let's start. Today, let's 00:00:36.820 --> 00:00:39.439 cover four points. And one of the first takeaways 00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:43.520 I want you to remember from the episode is, is 00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:46.979 to choose your environment intentionally. Because 00:00:46.979 --> 00:00:49.500 what we learn from Maya is that your environment 00:00:49.500 --> 00:00:52.060 shapes your potential. Because the people around 00:00:52.060 --> 00:00:55.920 you, your friends, your family members, the people 00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:58.100 you choose as your mentors, your role models, 00:00:58.299 --> 00:01:02.359 are influencing your confidence, the direction 00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:04.799 you're going to take, and your ambitions. And 00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:07.400 Maya is not the only one. You will see a pattern 00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:10.680 between a lot of guests where they are actually 00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:14.159 surrounding themselves with high -achieving people, 00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:18.420 ambitious people, hard -working people, and also 00:01:18.420 --> 00:01:21.319 growth -oriented people. Quickly, within the 00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:23.579 episode, you'll see, if you haven't listened 00:01:23.579 --> 00:01:27.709 to it yet, that thanks to her ecosystem maya 00:01:27.709 --> 00:01:33.049 pursued not only sport but also paths that align 00:01:33.049 --> 00:01:36.030 with something that she couldn't even imagine 00:01:36.030 --> 00:01:40.849 her ecosystem helped her see possibilities see 00:01:40.849 --> 00:01:43.170 opportunities where she didn't even start looking 00:01:43.170 --> 00:01:47.090 and those were a great match what about the second 00:01:47.090 --> 00:01:49.530 takeaway this is going to be a tough one this 00:01:49.530 --> 00:01:52.310 is going to be a controversial one why because 00:01:53.739 --> 00:01:56.620 It's a tricky one. Okay, I'll cut to the chase. 00:01:56.719 --> 00:02:02.120 The idea is effort will eventually pay off. That 00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:06.859 adopting that belief is going to help you build 00:02:06.859 --> 00:02:11.259 not only a mindset of resilience, but also persistence 00:02:11.259 --> 00:02:14.699 and consistency. As you will put your belief, 00:02:14.860 --> 00:02:18.080 your trust in the process, and you'll keep going, 00:02:18.259 --> 00:02:21.669 even if you don't see the results now. And I 00:02:21.669 --> 00:02:24.409 said that was potentially controversial because 00:02:24.409 --> 00:02:27.349 you're not necessarily getting what you deserve, 00:02:27.550 --> 00:02:30.210 but you're building skills and capacities that 00:02:30.210 --> 00:02:34.469 probably will help you for a situation, for context, 00:02:34.710 --> 00:02:37.469 for an opportunity that you didn't even think 00:02:37.469 --> 00:02:41.150 of. So a concrete example would be you didn't 00:02:41.150 --> 00:02:43.430 get the job you wanted, you didn't get the internship 00:02:43.430 --> 00:02:46.990 you wanted, but all the efforts and all the work 00:02:46.990 --> 00:02:50.719 you put into it made you grow. made you better 00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:54.340 made you more resilient and countless other elements 00:02:54.340 --> 00:02:58.139 let's get to the third point in the episode we 00:02:58.139 --> 00:03:01.159 kind of insisted on the fact that no one is going 00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:04.300 to come and knock on your door and say you're 00:03:04.300 --> 00:03:06.659 the one i need you're the one i need in my team 00:03:06.659 --> 00:03:09.240 you're the one i need in my class you're the 00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:12.939 one i need anywhere essentially in the episode 00:03:12.939 --> 00:03:15.819 we invite you to be as proactive as possible 00:03:15.819 --> 00:03:18.520 you need to start somewhere you need to initiate 00:03:18.520 --> 00:03:23.199 something Maya in the episode insists on the 00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:28.319 fact that success is not given. You need to create 00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:30.819 your own opportunities. You essentially need 00:03:30.819 --> 00:03:33.419 to start before you feel ready. And there are 00:03:33.419 --> 00:03:35.680 countless examples not only in the episode itself 00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:39.580 but in your everyday life. If you ever crossed 00:03:39.580 --> 00:03:42.800 paths with someone who ran a marathon once or 00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:46.460 a half marathon or a 10k when they started running 00:03:46.460 --> 00:03:50.400 they didn't feel ready for a marathon or any 00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:53.259 of those races. But instead of waiting to feel 00:03:53.259 --> 00:03:56.240 ready in their mind, they just started. They 00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:59.280 proactively started running. So that would be 00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:02.460 an example. And the last and fourth point. Learn 00:04:02.460 --> 00:04:05.659 from failure. Take action. Because your reaction 00:04:05.659 --> 00:04:10.280 matters way more than the failure itself. Within 00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:13.159 the episode, Maya is giving an incredible example 00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:16.660 where she invites you to control your response 00:04:16.660 --> 00:04:19.959 to that failure. to that learning. She lost her 00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:23.079 competition. Then she had a normal emotional 00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:26.399 reaction to it. But then the last step is that 00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:29.759 she took action on that lesson. What that example 00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:34.199 underlines is your growth begins after that emotion. 00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:38.339 From there, you're not only building resilience, 00:04:38.699 --> 00:04:41.259 but you're building as well your long -term success. 00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:45.379 Go listen to the full episode. It's absolutely 00:04:45.379 --> 00:04:48.220 fantastic. you might be able to start your growth 00:04:48.220 --> 00:04:52.139 journey from there.
