Successful people always seem to “have their act together”, while we struggle to get through each day of our lives. Are they just born lucky?
Nope!
Success is not limited or restricted to a certain race, or a certain type of people. So while there’s no proven formula for overnight success, there’s no denying the fact that people we admire share certain traits and habits that helped them get ahead in life.
So in this talk, Sheikh Muiz discuss five of those habits.
The host of a video discusses five habits of success for ultra successful people, including waketing early, reading ahead, exercising healthy habits, avoiding harmful substances, and reminding oneself that one's time is finite and will lead to success. The host provides examples of how these habits can lead to personal success and personal fulfillment.

Assalamu alaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. So today, I would like to share five habits of ultra
successful people.
00:00:10 -->
00:00:51
Number one, wake up early, successful people absolutely wake up early because the earlier they begin
the day, the more time they will have to get things accomplished. Remember, the early bird gets the
worm, and it follows Of course, the early birds will also get a good night's sleep. If you find it
really difficult to rise, get a super annoying alarm clock that literally forces you out of bed, and
also put your alarm across the room. If it's right next to you, you're going to hit the snooze
button. So pull it on the other side of the room, so you will have to literally get up or jump off
the bed. To turn it off. habit number two, read a lot everything you read first your head with new
00:00:51 -->
00:01:31
bits and bits of information and you never know when these bits and bits might come in handy. The
more knowledge you have, the better equipped you are to tackle any challenge you'll ever have to
face. And the more you read, the more words you gain exposure to and they will inevitably make their
way into your everyday vocabulary. Being articulate and well spoken is of great help. It's an asset
of any profession. When you read a book, you have to remember an assortment of characters, their
backgrounds, ambitions, history, as well as the various arcs and subplots that weave their way
through any story. That's a lot to remember, but our brains are marvelous things and can remember
00:01:31 -->
00:02:12
these things with relative ease. Amazingly enough, every new memory you create forges new brain
pathways and strengthens existing ones which assists in short term memory recall. There isn't
necessarily a defined length as to how much time you should be reading or spend reading but forming
a daily reading habit will expand your knowledge and help you on your journey to success in sha
Allah. habit number three, make your health a priority healthy habits such as eating well exercising
and avoiding harmful substances. Makes sense. But did you ever stop to think about why you practice
them? A healthy habit is any behavior that benefits your physical, mental and emotional health.
00:02:12 -->
00:02:56
These habits improve your overall well being and they make you feel so good. healthy habits are hard
to develop and often require changing your mindset. But if you are willing to make sacrifices to
better your health, the impact can be far far reaching, regardless of your age, * or physical
ability. habit number four, don't get distracted by what other people are doing. Or these journeys
to success can be inspiring. Yes, we can learn so much from their mistakes, their victories, what to
do, what not to do. But the minute you start comparing your progress to theirs, instead of using
their stories as inspiration, you can start to feel jealous, stressed and unworthy inferiority
00:02:56 -->
00:03:35
complex. We generally use other people to gauge our success or failure. We all do it compare
ourselves to others, maybe most successful people without seeing what others around you have
achieved. How else would you know what's possible, right? I mean, how else would you know what you
can do right. But as we progress in our careers, that benchmark effect can actually lead one to
professional jealousy, which can hamper our own success and lead to unnecessary stress if we let it
build, build up and not address it. So it's important to acknowledge jealous feelings because the
time and energy one expense worrying about what others are doing could and should be put into
00:03:35 -->
00:04:18
building our own careers and lives. Successful people realize that their journey is unique and
cannot be compared. Therefore, they invest in themselves by keeping themselves focused on their
goals, like a horse with blinders on having only the finish line in its side. habit number five,
keep reminding yourself that your time is finite and limited. This will result in you living each
day of yours as you're lost and working hard day in and day out towards realizing your dreams and
leaving behind a legacy where you literally become a legend. Success includes a journey that is
taken one lesson at a time improved and refined, improved and refined, successful people move onward
00:04:18 -->
00:04:44
and forward in life by facing their next challenge and life lesson. That about wraps today's video.
So having said all of the above, let's use these five habits as a starting place somewhere to start,
you know, build whatever a successful life means to us. Insha Allah that with that I conclude, I
look forward to talking to you soon in another video. So until then, this is Maurice Buhari signing
