Hi everyone. In this video, I'm going to

00:00:02 --> 00:00:04

share with you the most important secret to

00:00:04 --> 00:00:04

success.

00:00:05 --> 00:00:08

Human beings have been given the ability to

00:00:08 --> 00:00:10

fulfill all that we visualize.

00:00:10 --> 00:00:12

Everything that you can dream of, everything that

00:00:12 --> 00:00:13

you can visualize,

00:00:14 --> 00:00:16

you have that power to fulfill that.

00:00:17 --> 00:00:18

Look at human history.

00:00:18 --> 00:00:21

Things which were considered impossible a few centuries

00:00:21 --> 00:00:24

ago or a few decades ago, they have

00:00:24 --> 00:00:26

been fulfilled today. Human beings have been able

00:00:26 --> 00:00:29

to conquer things which were considered impossible

00:00:29 --> 00:00:31

a few years ago. Look at the mobile

00:00:31 --> 00:00:34

phone technology that we are using today. None

00:00:34 --> 00:00:36

of us could even dream of having a

00:00:36 --> 00:00:38

mobile phone. None of us could even think

00:00:38 --> 00:00:38

of a technology

00:00:39 --> 00:00:40

by which we could carry a phone with

00:00:40 --> 00:00:44

ourselves and connect with people. But somebody dreamt

00:00:44 --> 00:00:47

of it, somebody visualized it and was able

00:00:47 --> 00:00:48

to conquer his vision.

00:00:49 --> 00:00:51

That is what human beings are capable of.

00:00:51 --> 00:00:53

We are capable of fulfilling

00:00:53 --> 00:00:54

all that we visualize,

00:00:55 --> 00:00:56

all that we dream of.

00:00:57 --> 00:00:57

This

00:00:58 --> 00:00:58

requires

00:00:59 --> 00:01:01

constantly challenging ourselves.

00:01:02 --> 00:01:06

Human beings, when they stop challenging themselves, that's

00:01:06 --> 00:01:07

when the decline happens.

00:01:07 --> 00:01:10

You will often find that once people retire

00:01:10 --> 00:01:12

from their work, those who are used to

00:01:12 --> 00:01:14

working 9 to 6, you see the moment

00:01:14 --> 00:01:15

they retire,

00:01:15 --> 00:01:16

they start aging rapidly.

00:01:17 --> 00:01:19

Why? Because they have stopped challenging themselves.

00:01:20 --> 00:01:22

They don't have any other goals in their

00:01:22 --> 00:01:23

life. They've already retired.

00:01:24 --> 00:01:26

In fact, the moment you start working in

00:01:26 --> 00:01:28

a company, what is the first thing that

00:01:28 --> 00:01:31

they tell you? Start planning for your retirement.

00:01:31 --> 00:01:33

So as though the ultimate goal for you

00:01:33 --> 00:01:35

is to reach the age of 60

00:01:35 --> 00:01:36

and retire.

00:01:36 --> 00:01:39

But is that how human beings live? Today

00:01:39 --> 00:01:41

medical science is advanced. We

00:01:41 --> 00:01:43

most of us are able to live for

00:01:43 --> 00:01:45

a long period of life, and if we

00:01:45 --> 00:01:47

do that what are we going to do

00:01:47 --> 00:01:48

for the next 15, 20 years of our

00:01:48 --> 00:01:49

life after retirement?

00:01:50 --> 00:01:52

Because we've been taught to retire at the

00:01:52 --> 00:01:54

age of 60 and sit back and relax

00:01:54 --> 00:01:55

and age

00:01:55 --> 00:01:56

gracefully

00:01:56 --> 00:01:58

or age rapidly.

00:01:58 --> 00:02:01

Well, if you are someone who's constantly challenging

00:02:01 --> 00:02:02

yourself,

00:02:02 --> 00:02:03

challenging your milestones,

00:02:04 --> 00:02:06

you're going to age grace fully. You will

00:02:06 --> 00:02:09

continue challenging yourself. You will keep on taking

00:02:09 --> 00:02:12

on new missions in your life. But if

00:02:12 --> 00:02:14

you're someone who does not have any other

00:02:14 --> 00:02:15

goal in life after retirement,

00:02:15 --> 00:02:17

you're going to age rapidly. You will have

00:02:17 --> 00:02:19

many more gray hair in a span of

00:02:19 --> 00:02:21

a year than you had over the 60

00:02:21 --> 00:02:22

years of your life.

00:02:23 --> 00:02:25

Why does this happen with us? It happens

00:02:25 --> 00:02:27

because we stop challenging ourselves.

00:02:28 --> 00:02:28

Look,

00:02:29 --> 00:02:31

when Tariq Ben Zayed, the conqueror of Spain,

00:02:32 --> 00:02:34

when he burned the ships,

00:02:34 --> 00:02:37

he sent a message to all his army

00:02:37 --> 00:02:39

men, we are not going back.

00:02:39 --> 00:02:41

We're going to fight to conquer or we're

00:02:41 --> 00:02:43

going to fight to die.

00:02:43 --> 00:02:44

There is absolutely

00:02:44 --> 00:02:45

no compromise.

00:02:46 --> 00:02:48

That's how we should be with our vision,

00:02:49 --> 00:02:51

with our mission in life, with our milestones

00:02:51 --> 00:02:54

in our life. There should be absolutely no

00:02:54 --> 00:02:57

compromise because human beings, the moment we start

00:02:57 --> 00:02:57

compromising

00:02:58 --> 00:02:59

there's no end to compromise.

00:03:00 --> 00:03:02

You can keep compromising on so many things

00:03:02 --> 00:03:05

in life. We refer to Tarek bin Zayed.

00:03:05 --> 00:03:06

We learn that

00:03:07 --> 00:03:09

the way to conquer your vision, the way

00:03:09 --> 00:03:12

to conquer your mission is by not accepting

00:03:12 --> 00:03:15

to be the 2nd best, by striving to

00:03:15 --> 00:03:17

be number 1, by striving to fulfill what

00:03:17 --> 00:03:20

your mission is, for what your vision is.

00:03:20 --> 00:03:21

You need to burn the ships.

00:03:22 --> 00:03:24

Are you ready to burn the ships? Are

00:03:24 --> 00:03:25

you ready to take on challenges in your

00:03:25 --> 00:03:28

life? Look, when you take on challenges in

00:03:28 --> 00:03:30

your life, failures are bound to happen. Like

00:03:30 --> 00:03:33

I said, you could fight to conquer, you

00:03:33 --> 00:03:34

could fight to die.

00:03:34 --> 00:03:37

What if I fail in this process?

00:03:37 --> 00:03:40

Human life cycle is based on ups and

00:03:40 --> 00:03:40

downs.

00:03:40 --> 00:03:43

There will be moments when you will conquer

00:03:43 --> 00:03:45

the milestones and enjoy the success.

00:03:46 --> 00:03:47

But then there will be those milestones where

00:03:47 --> 00:03:50

you may not succeed. There will be downward

00:03:50 --> 00:03:52

trends in your cycle. And that's how human

00:03:52 --> 00:03:55

cycle is. That's how our life cycle is.

00:03:55 --> 00:03:57

We've been given failures.

00:03:58 --> 00:04:00

We've been given downward trends in our life

00:04:01 --> 00:04:03

so that we can learn from it. The

00:04:03 --> 00:04:06

idea of failure was to learn from your

00:04:06 --> 00:04:09

failures. The idea of failing was to find

00:04:09 --> 00:04:11

10,000 different ways of doing new things.

00:04:13 --> 00:04:16

But many of us are going to face

00:04:16 --> 00:04:19

a failure and that failure is going to

00:04:19 --> 00:04:21

be a setback for us. It's going to

00:04:21 --> 00:04:23

push us back. It's going to mean an

00:04:23 --> 00:04:25

end for our dreams.

00:04:26 --> 00:04:28

Failures are not supposed to put an end

00:04:28 --> 00:04:31

to your dream. Failures are not supposed to

00:04:31 --> 00:04:32

cap your potential.

00:04:32 --> 00:04:35

Failures are only there to show you different

00:04:35 --> 00:04:38

ways of doing things. Failures are only there

00:04:38 --> 00:04:41

to push you further in your vision, in

00:04:41 --> 00:04:43

your mission, but are you willing to challenge

00:04:43 --> 00:04:46

yourself? You need to ask yourself, do you

00:04:46 --> 00:04:47

cap your potential

00:04:48 --> 00:04:51

or is your potential there to fulfill all

00:04:51 --> 00:04:52

that you visualize,

00:04:52 --> 00:04:53

all that you dream?
