Hi everyone. In this video, I'm going to
share with you the most important secret to
success.
Human beings have been given the ability to
fulfill all that we visualize.
Everything that you can dream of, everything that
you can visualize,
you have that power to fulfill that.
Look at human history.
Things which were considered impossible a few centuries
ago or a few decades ago, they have
been fulfilled today. Human beings have been able
to conquer things which were considered impossible
a few years ago. Look at the mobile
phone technology that we are using today. None
of us could even dream of having a
mobile phone. None of us could even think
of a technology
by which we could carry a phone with
ourselves and connect with people. But somebody dreamt
of it, somebody visualized it and was able
to conquer his vision.
That is what human beings are capable of.
We are capable of fulfilling
all that we visualize,
all that we dream of.
This
requires
constantly challenging ourselves.
Human beings, when they stop challenging themselves, that's
when the decline happens.
You will often find that once people retire
from their work, those who are used to
working 9 to 6, you see the moment
they retire,
they start aging rapidly.
Why? Because they have stopped challenging themselves.
They don't have any other goals in their
life. They've already retired.
In fact, the moment you start working in
a company, what is the first thing that
they tell you? Start planning for your retirement.
So as though the ultimate goal for you
is to reach the age of 60
and retire.
But is that how human beings live? Today
medical science is advanced. We
most of us are able to live for
a long period of life, and if we
do that what are we going to do
for the next 15, 20 years of our
life after retirement?
Because we've been taught to retire at the
age of 60 and sit back and relax
and age
gracefully
or age rapidly.
Well, if you are someone who's constantly challenging
yourself,
challenging your milestones,
you're going to age grace fully. You will
continue challenging yourself. You will keep on taking
on new missions in your life. But if
you're someone who does not have any other
goal in life after retirement,
you're going to age rapidly. You will have
many more gray hair in a span of
a year than you had over the 60
years of your life.
Why does this happen with us? It happens
because we stop challenging ourselves.
Look,
when Tariq Ben Zayed, the conqueror of Spain,
when he burned the ships,
he sent a message to all his army
men, we are not going back.
We're going to fight to conquer or we're
going to fight to die.
There is absolutely
no compromise.
That's how we should be with our vision,
with our mission in life, with our milestones
in our life. There should be absolutely no
compromise because human beings, the moment we start
compromising
there's no end to compromise.
You can keep compromising on so many things
in life. We refer to Tarek bin Zayed.
We learn that
the way to conquer your vision, the way
to conquer your mission is by not accepting
to be the 2nd best, by striving to
be number 1, by striving to fulfill what
your mission is, for what your vision is.
You need to burn the ships.
Are you ready to burn the ships? Are
you ready to take on challenges in your
life? Look, when you take on challenges in
your life, failures are bound to happen. Like
I said, you could fight to conquer, you
could fight to die.
What if I fail in this process?
Human life cycle is based on ups and
downs.
There will be moments when you will conquer
the milestones and enjoy the success.
But then there will be those milestones where
you may not succeed. There will be downward
trends in your cycle. And that's how human
cycle is. That's how our life cycle is.
We've been given failures.
We've been given downward trends in our life
so that we can learn from it. The
idea of failure was to learn from your
failures. The idea of failing was to find
10,000 different ways of doing new things.
But many of us are going to face
a failure and that failure is going to
be a setback for us. It's going to
push us back. It's going to mean an
end for our dreams.
Failures are not supposed to put an end
to your dream. Failures are not supposed to
cap your potential.
Failures are only there to show you different
ways of doing things. Failures are only there
to push you further in your vision, in
your mission, but are you willing to challenge
yourself? You need to ask yourself, do you
cap your potential
or is your potential there to fulfill all
that you visualize,
all that you dream?
