Auto-generated transcript:Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. Alhamdulillahi Rabbil Alameen.
Wasalatu wasalamu ala ashrafil anbiya wal mursaleen.
Muhammadur Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa ala alihi wa sahbih salam.
Tasliman kathirun kathirun.
My brothers and sisters, we all have aspirations and goals and we want this and we want that.
We want success in life.
You want to have a great career and you want to have a happy marriage.
You start a business and you want that business to grow.
But you don't always succeed.
Now, I'm going to teach you how to succeed.
So listen carefully.
Number one, swear to yourself.
And by swear to yourself, I mean absolutely 100% stand in front of a mirror,
hold the Quran al-Karim in your hand if you want,
and swear to yourself that you will never make an excuse ever.
You will never make an excuse ever.
No excuses.
No excuses.
What does no excuse mean?
It means no excuses.
Now, think about this.
Six months from now, you will either have six months of excuses or six months of progress.
Six months from now, you will either have six months of excuses or six months of progress.
Only you, nobody but you can decide which it will be.
You can decide which it will be.
You can decide which it will be.
My submission to you is that work means work.
Not talking about work or posting on social media about work or planning your work or writing about your work or dreaming about your work.
None of this is work.
Only work is work.
So get this clear in your head.
Work means to work.
To make the effort consistently day after day after day.
No excuses.
I'm going to give you on a side note, but
very important.
The most powerful health hack in the world is to walk 10,000 steps every day.
That is five miles.
10,000 steps is five miles to 2,000 steps to a mile.
Think about this.
If you do that every day for six months, you will be 900 miles from here.
Wherever that here is for you.
Take a map.
Map it.
And say, what is 900 miles from me?
North, south, east, west.
You in six months will be there if you only walk five miles per day.
But only if you do it.
But instead of that, if you do all the rest, you talk about this intention of walking 900 miles.
You think about it.
You make movies about it.
You sing songs about it.
You do what you want.
Except walking.
If you do all the rest, but you don't walk, you will still be here after six months.
So understand this very clearly.
You want progress.
You have to work.
Now, to make progress, you need three things.
Three things.
One, a clear goal.
Number two, a clear strategy to achieve that goal.
And number three, consistent hard work for an insane duration of time.
For an insane period of time.
So let's see each of these.
What's a clear goal?
A clear goal is something that inspires you.
That inspires you enough for you to taste it in your mouth.
Inspires you enough for you to taste it in your mouth.
A clear goal is something that will keep you awake in the night.
Thinking about it.
Dreaming about it.
It brings tears to your eyes.
And most importantly, it makes you show up every day as long as you are alive.
It doesn't matter if you are well or unwell or sick.
It doesn't matter if you are sad.
Glad, glad, bad, mad, rich or poor.
It doesn't matter if it's raining or snowing.
If it's day or night, nothing matters.
Nothing can stop you from showing up.
No excuses.
No excuses.
Make this into something which is running in the back of your head.
No excuses.
That is number one, a clear goal.
Number two, a clear strategy.
A clear strategy is something...
Something that you have thought about, taken advice and planned and then and above all,
you take ownership for execution of the strategy.
That means that you have decided.
The decision is yours.
You will do whatever it takes to apply that strategy.
And you and only you are responsible for the result.
Yes, you took advice.
Yes, you asked people.
Yes, some people tried to pressurize you.
Other people left you to your own devices and they said, okay,
