Job Search Engines & Updates

Grateful Morning Everyone!!!!


"Every time I thought I was being rejected from something good, I was actually being re-directed to something better." - Dr. Steve Maraboli #quotes

I am so grateful to be alive and healthy and able to get up and
Walk on my own!!!!
Breathe on my own!!!!
Take care of myself!!!!
Have a home!
Have a beautiful car!
Have a job!
___________________________________________________________________________

Have enough sense to know that I have the tools to make myself better!!! There is time to feel bad and there is time to hold my head down and be sad but then we have to get up and get things going. I am so proud of myself in the last two weeks because I have picked myself up and got going.

There has been so much change in my day/Life/ Routine.  I am easily distracted and derailed and that is something that I am working on. I know my weakness and I know areas that I need to work on. But that is something that I am aware of.  Life goes on! And things will get better.

But bouncing back on your feet and making the best of your situation is what will either make you or break you.  SO that brings me to the point of my job search! I have not looked or applied for a job for 8 years! It has been a long time and this is so new to me and I am not well-versed in the places to look and how to look for anything.  So when I asked around I was told to use the following sites:

www.monster.com

www.linkedin.com

________________________________________________________________________

These sites have been a life saver! I have found some amazing opportunities on here and has opened my eyes to what is out there.  There are tons of opportunities out there and you don't need to worry about anything else.

You have to really apply yourself and make it a priority to apply to jobs online and that's what I did.  I made it a goal to apply for 8-10 jobs a day.  That has helped me tremendously and has worked in my favor.  I have gotten tons of calls - phone interviews - face to face interviews and I know that I have options and I have made a great impact in this goal and I know that I will find something that is fitting and for me.

You cant give up! You cant get discouraged and think that it wont happen.  It might not happen right away but it will. It will be what you put in you will get out.  That is the key... Some of the jobs and some of the interviews have not been amazing and some have been. But that's all the chance that you have to take.  But I know this:

1. Next job will have a pay increase

2.  Need a place with longevity

3. Need a place where I would be happy

4. Opportunity for growth


These are my top 4 must haves in my next job. I know that my next move will have to be a good one because I dont want to jump around and go from job to job - that's not my style at all. So I know I have to make a clear decision and not an emotional decision.

I am doing great in my workouts- I have been using some of my frustrations and anger to work for me in my workouts.  I am up to doing 15 push-ups and not stopping in between!!!!

THAT IS HUGE FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was up to doing 10 and then I had to finish up doing them on my knees "girly push-ups"  Oh no! I want to do real push-ups.....

I am so super excited to be able to do more and step up my game! I am so excited about that. Nothing is going to stop me from getting my results. I plan to keep pushing till I can do 20 and then there will be another goal and another! Until I am at a point where doing 50 is easy work!
_________________________________________________________________________________


-Life-

I am blessed - life is good - Alhamduliah-

That's all! At the end of the day you have to really be thankful for all that you HAVE and be grateful for the people that are in your lives! You have to be comfortable with failure and loss.

I have lost a best friend - A older brother - Father figure but I WILL BE OK! You will gain someone else in your life that has better meaning in your life and will serve a better purpose.  Some people come in your life for a reason and then leave for a reason also! Think positive and the best is yet to come!

Major Changes

Good Morning! Good Morning! Good Morning!

So there have been some major changes in my life recently....

Making a move to look for a new job due to some unfortunate events... This has been a part of the overall theme and direction of where I want to take my life.

          "GET UNCOMFORTABLE"



_____________________________________________________________________________


So many things play a role in this theme:

My workouts-
My Professional Path-
My Herbalife -
My Personal Goals

Many aspects of this theme are hard to understand when you are in IT and can't "understand" why this is happening to you.  There are so many sob stories that are possibly running through your head and you can live in those for all you want but it wont get you anywhere because they are just stories.  You have to as an ADULT who IS capable of picking up the pieces and move on do just that!!!!

People are always looking for that direction from a great LEADER but understand this - you can have great people in your life that you think are "LEADERS" that are masked as that but they are not.  Accept leadership where you get it- but understand that its not always what you need - getting uncomfortable and becoming a LEADER is what I need personally.

______________________________________________________________________________





I am overcoming a situation where I thought I had a mentor- I thought I was in a situation where I was going to grow and become better than what I was now. Being "groomed" for a better life and advancement in my career and life.

"Giving you nuggets"
"This is a teachable moment"
"Personal Development"

All these things were spoken to me on a daily basis but when it came time to put the theory into practice none of those traits actually were what I got.  And that's ok.  Because the most IMPORTANT thing that I have learned from Herbalife is that you must be Personally Developed.  When I first started my path with Herbalife I didn't understand this because I thought I had the Personal/ Professional Development Guru at my disposal and I knew it all. But I was looking at things through foggy lens.  Cool No Problem!!!

Its about how you pick your self back up and carry on! I just watched a video that Garrian Jones, 30K Executive Presidents Team Member posted about focus on the good did- and it all hit home.  You have to focus on whats right.... and then everything will start to be right.

With this current situation I was in my head and cried - was the victim and did all the emotions that I could think of. and that just brought me more down and nothing productive came out of it.  I need to move away from that and this I am ready to GROW. This is a hurtful change and that is usually when growth happens.

Effort is what NEEDS to happen to make what you WANT happen.  I am convinced that all these changes in my life is what I need to make positive changes in my life.  I am PROUD of the woman i am and the person I have become. Nothing can hold me down or back from anything but myself.  My skills are moving me to greater lengths and areas that I need to be to excel.  I am SO PROUD OF MYSELF WORDS TO DONT DESCRIBE.

I have uploaded this video from Ray Lewis and and it hits home because I feel like he is speaking to me directly and I love it!!!

Please take this post as an outlet for a time for you to get better and to achieve what you need in life and dont disrespect yourself out of fear of being afraid of what might be.  Stand up tall and do what you need to do!

xoxo

Fun life changing experiences to come!!!

Motivation

Good Afternoon,

So recently I have come to the understanding that you need to find YOUR motivation where ever you can get it.

People in our lives are not here to build us up! They are here to build themselves up- get themselves ahead - make something of themselves ONLY.

Trust me when I speak from personal experience in that even when you think you can trust someone and they are extremely close to you, they can and will probably still screw you over. Nothing in this world is guaranteed.  People act which ever way they want due to the things that are going on in their lives.

I have recently been let down by a great friend and mentor that I held to a high standard and respect tremendously.  These changes that I am going through calls for many - many - many hours of personal development.  I think that the only thing that has truly saved me from going totally nuts is being able to hear my thoughts out and understand my thought process way better than I use to do.

I know that people are going to continuously break me down in my current situation and that will not change but I will need to rise above it and make things better for myself. That means its time to get uncomfortable and step outside of my norm and become uncomfortable.

I need to push myself in everything - my workouts, job, herbalife - EVERYTHING-

I am turning a new chapter m life and in what I am about. I am turning on the beast mode part of my life.... I need to start progressing in life and i need to do it on my own.  No one is here for me and it all rides on my shoulders.

But that is ok- I am going to be "self-made" and I am going to prove to all those that hated me and lied on me that they were wrong and that Fati... Fatema is NOT a loser and not incapable.  I will one day have my own assistant and that assistant will be treated like gold! Because what you do is treat people 100% better than how you were treated when you were at a lower level.

I dont understand the people that are operating from a place of hate even though they were hated on themselves.  That is the confusing part for me. They did not GROW and develop. They made decisions that took them to the top but didn't personally develop them to be a better person. And that is also ok and that is also something that a great leader you have to identify and learn to grow and really deal with people.

When you master how to handle those types of people and their energies early on then you are able to handle anything later on in your path and your career.  Its much easier said than done. But its something that you have to actively work towards.

At the end of the day- I am currently faced with so much adversity and change...and in this moment nothing seems like its going to be ok but it really will be ok. I know that I am destined to be better!!! I can't be average - I will find success and I will only surround myself with successful people and make it easy and simple. I will do what it takes- END OF STORY! THERE ARE NO OTHER OPTIONS!!!!

PLEASE watch this video and listen to what Ray Lewis has to say and focus on his words for what he is trying to say to us..... LOVE IT.
HOPE YOU GET SOMETHING OUT OF THIS

Stress.....

Hi Guys,

Today have been dealing with a lot of negativity and people that are working from  a place of hate and jealousy.  People that are around me are not the type of people that are personally developed and equipped to handle how to be a leader with the right steps in place to be a great leader.

Since I have been involved with Herbalife I have learned to do personal development so that when things happen I brush them off. I am training myself to see my VISION and my GOALS to not worry about the things that people DO to me on a daily basis as important. Its no longer an issue.

My goal is to not allow people get under my skin. I am not there yet - I am still working on ME! I am working on this muscle so that I can be stronger when people come at me sideways.

This comes from family - friends - co-workers EVERYONE!!!! I am not there yet but I am doing personal development daily - every morning!! and Recently all day at work because I have to cut out the noise and listen to something amazing!!!

I have also decided that I am working towards finding my WHY - what is the reason for what I do? I have to find out what my WHY is and how am I going to get it? And what happens after? This is hard work and will take some soul searching and deep understanding of my intentions.

I have been very consistent with my workouts and most of my meals are 100% on point and I have gotten amazing results- now I have to work on the other results that are coming slower. I am not going to be satisfied- I have learned to be uncomfortable and to be ready for constant change.

Eric Thomas has become my dude! He speaks to me in a way that no one has ever reached out! He reminds me of someone that I once knew that was very close to me in life and she and I are no longer that close.  He speaks in a  language that HURTS and HITS home!!!! I am seeing things in a different lens because of his words.  He is REAL and does not sugar coat it. You can hear his passion when he speaks!!!

I listen to him every morning as I am getting ready! He pumps me up at 3am for my workout and all day during my work day to keep me calm and focused! Please check him out if you need someone to help you and get some motivation throughout your day!

I will leave you with some quotes from him! Enjoy- Apply - Become

Nike Addiction

Good Morning!!!

So I have definitely adapted a obsession with workout clothes and NIKE!!!!

I love good quality materials and yes... you spend a bit more on Nike but you are getting amazing quality for what you are purchasing and it will last you a long time.

There is definitely something to be said for feeling comfortable and cute while working out. Motivation to push hard could be to get some nice fitting workout clothes to make you feel extra better.

Here is a link to a online store where you can get discounted gear www.6pm.com  they have all kinds of brands and good prices.

Another great spot is Finish Line www.finishline.com they also have great sales and good prices on their shoes and clothing.

Happy Shopping! And dont forget to keep working out and pushing hard!!!!

The Struggle is REAL



Good Morning!!!


This morning was rough!!!! I was faced with a decision to make about how I was going to get through this workout.

1. I am sick
2. I am sore
3. We did abs (which is a killer)

I am grateful for my friend who pushes me through the workout BUT i need to push myself.  After a conversation with MY Herbalife Coach I realized that I need those external motivators to get me through my workout. Which is not ok.. I need to get myself through those workouts and moments of struggle.

I know what I want and I am so close to getting it!!!! The road block is myself and I really need to let go of what is stopping me and push!!!! This is going to be a muscle that I must build! And if it were easy I would have already been there - but I know that once I get my results this is going to be so worth it and the feeling will be amazing!

My point with this post is that no matter what level we are at in our goals - fitness or not, there will always be struggles and we have to keep going and push through them. Stopping cant be an option because that will never get you to where you need to be.

I am ok with the idea that I failed today and didn't work AS hard as I SHOULD have.  But I will get up earlier tomorrow and try harder!!! That is the only way you know that you are not continuously failing.

FCF = Fati's Crazy Friday!!!!!




Gooooodddd Morning!!!!

Today is a great day!!!

I have made it to my workout and successful did something that I am not use too! I challenged myself to work with Mike and push through whatever I didn't want too and make my workout happen.

Weights is so new to me that I have to make myself understand that this is a challenge myself to keep pushing through. Now today my full body is sore and I am in a bit of pain when I am moving but its all good pain... I am looking forward to the transformation that I am putting myself through....  This will all be worth it at the very end.  But there really is no end because you should always want to challenge yourself to get to the next level of greatness - whatever that means for you.

I am excited to continue my path an see what greatness lies ahead.....

#WCW = We Crush Wednesday's

Good Morning! Good Morning! Good Morning!

There are so many things that goes on in our daily lives that can be so hurtful and so upsetting but it is truly up to us to make the best of our situation and our lives!!

How we wake up is how we are going to spend our day.  My morning routine has been thrown off a bit because of my current moving situation but I am making the best out of this situation and my current circumstances.

1. Still going to the gym

2. Still taking my Herbalife and sticking to my program

3. Still waking up and listening to personal development

4. Getting dressed an being present at work

Life goes on!! We have to aware of what we are involved in and how to make it better.  Change is in our hands and that's all we are responsible for.

I am writing this as a reminder to myself to be self-aware of all the circumstances that are in my life and that I am surrounded by.

With all that said - I am moving back home due to the living situation not being what was promised and what I expected.  I am not going to cry and have a pitty party about it. I am going to instead going to have a plan of action and execute it properly.  Living on my own is still a goal and something that I actively intend on working towards however its just not going to happen right now.

I have a plan of action written down for my moving and relocation and it will need to be done properly this time so that I dont move back again.

Below is a video that I think is amazing and personal development is always important! Enjoy!!

New Workout Plan.....




Good Morning:

I have started to join a friend on his workouts in the mornings and I thought I would share about it.  He works out at the same time that I do and so we decided to workout together.  It works out great because I am pushing myself to do more and to keep up with what he is doing.  

Working out alone has never been the best option for me so this is great!! We start at about 4am and went until 6am! What a great workout!! Today was day 1 for me because I missed yesterday.  I had just enough time to take some time in the sauna and sweat out some more toxins. 

Working out early in the morning is a transition because its not as easy getting up and during the day you do tend to feel the crash but at the end of the day  you have to continue to push yourself or you wont get better. 

I have cleaned up everything in my life to help get me to where I want my results to go but now I must push myself on my workouts time to up the levels and start getting toned and ripped up!!! 

Everything in your mind is a story.... get out of your head.  That's whats going to hold you back and make you not achieve your dreams.  Create a new story and make that a reality.

New Series... Gym Diaries

Good Morning Everyone...

I have decided to take a new turn to my blog and incorporate more of my fitness and workout testimonials here.  One thing that I have been wanting to do is write about my journey and document it as it happens... I have been trying to come up with a  creative way to link this blog to what I have going on in the outside world and I feel that my fitness goals is that link.

Since joining Herbalife I have noticed that I have a new sense of direction and a commitment to something that is just for ME!!! Something that no one can take away from me and that is the health and well being of my body.  This is more that just Abs, nice booty or toned arms.... this has become about being healthy and fit. Being able to run and not get so tired that I feel like death! To be able to do a push-up and not struggle to the point that my arms are going to fall apart on me.

This may seem so simple but try 10 REAL push-ups and lets see how it feels? Understanding that it is 100% your body weight that you are pushing up and down.  This seem super simple but it takes time and work to get the correct form and posture in doing these workouts correct to ensure that you get the best results.

______________________________________________________________________________

My Challenge!!!!!!! - My New Goal......

So what I have decided is that  I want to start running.... I want to become a runner!!! I always wanted to run and thought that it was the best stress relief and best full body workout!!! I know that running burns everything so I really have a double mission of building my butt and burning all my fat at the same time.  This means that I will have to do cardio on leg day as well! 

After speaking to tons of people about this process I understand that it can happen. And if I continue this as a joint effort then I know that I wont have to start from the bottom and work my way back up.  
I am on week 2 of my Fasted Cardio and I am doing that on Tues, Thursdays, Saturdays and some Sundays.  This is so that I can burn more calories and the right calories in my cardio workouts.  I am super proud of myself for starting this journey and I will be posting more updates and pictures and hopefully encourage some of you to join me in doing this personal challenge.

Moving Out!!!

Good Morning,

Soooooooooooooooo I have been swamped with life as you can probably get a feel for as I have been missing in action.

I have finally decided to take the big step I have been talking about for months and finally move out.  Although financially I am not 100% in the place that I need to be at 31 to have a full on apartment to myself - I have decided that the roommate option is what will work best for me at this time.  So I started my research and found a place that is local - safe- NICE and CLEAN and with a good roommate.  

3 bedroom home and the rent includes all the utilities that I need!!!! Now there are some funny rules they have like no over night guest- no parties or gatherings but that is something that I can work around for the next year (inshallah - god whiling).  I plan to make this home for the next year and see how the savings go - the credit score- and the bills situation.

This has me out on my own- and away from home and being more independent and on my own! I have to take this first step into the real world and make it a good one so that I can really start my life! I am super excited and nervous about all of this and what it means to live alone and the effort I will have to place forward but I think its time!

This also means that I will have to work twice as hard in my jobs and make sure that I am on top of everything that I have to do and get done for myself so that I ensure my success and not have to move back home! That will be a move I will not want to make.

So that is my recent update for you guys!!! Hope to keep this blog going and have more updates along the way and I am looking for bigger and better things to come in the future!!! Nothing but moving up from here on out!!!! #declared
