3 Keys To Achieve Success and Create Impact _ Sadhguru

Those who are not successful .

Think if you read 10 points in a book , you're going to be successful .

What does success look like ?

What does it take without any kind of influence ?

You must stay by yourself .

If you enable yourself , other people will say you're a success .

If there are tips for success , everybody would have been successful .

There are no tips for success .

Hands on .

You got to do a million things .

Only those who are not so successful or those who are not successful .

Think somewhere if you read 10 points in a book , you're gonna be successful .

Those who are successful , they know they stand on their head and do circuits on a daily basis .

Ok ?

Only in the parties , they stand up straight , rest of the time they are on their head .

Ok ?

We need to understand this .

If you want to be successful , don't seek success .

What you seek is competence .

If you enable yourself and if you do something well , other people will say you're a success .

If you think I'm a success , it's foolish , isn't it ?

You're doing something and you're doing it well , other people in the town or in the country or in the world , people will say , oh , he's doing something really successful .

They're looking up to you .

That's fine .

You look up to yourself .

That's madness .

OK ?

You don't seek success , you seek empowerment , you seek competence .

You do the best that you can do .

You cannot do as well as somebody but you can do the best that you can do .

So if you do your best , if your best is good enough , the world will recognize if it is not , you will be happy .

So , uh , what does success look like ?

What does it take ?

Well , uh , you know , I know family and friends who always have their breakfast on time and after breakfast , of course , they must have coffee after coffee .

Of course , they must light up a cigarette and sit there nicely because they're trying to become peaceful and then they will go to work , come back home .

Exactly on time for lunch , eat lunch , rest for one or two hours sleep .

Then the evening have one tea and then smoke and then again , go to work and 88 o'clock , 8 30 they're back home for dinner and then maybe other things , drink and this and that and whatever .

But those who have been very successful either in music , sport , art , business , spiritual process doesn't matter what those people never know when they ate , when they slept , when they got afternoon rested .

I have not seen such a thing in my life .

Thanks .

So uh those who are committed to being successful with whatever they are doing , one important aspect of their life is they're not settling down wherever it's a bit comfortable because comfort will happen .

When the lower you doing the grave , very comfortable you are .

You know , right now , it's about ensuring that there is profoundness of experience and there is impact , fullness of activity because if they had given you a limitless amount of time , you could do all those things .

Nothing wrong .

I'm not against them , but they gave you such a little time with such tremendous potential of being human .

That's the problem for every one of you , your life is precious , isn't it ?

It's a precious life .

If something is precious , where do you want to invest this life ?

Because what you call as my life is just a certain amount of time and energy , isn't it ?

Yes .

Yes .

As you sit here , your life is ticking away or no .

What is taking away is not time .

What is taking away is your life ?

Yes or no .

So this energy that you call is my life .

How are you going to invest it ?

Because it's going to get , if you're doing something truly worthwhile , it gets over before , you know what happened ?

Only if you're doing something worthless .

It feels like a long life .

Have you noticed this on a particular day when you're very happy ?

24 hours ?

It went off like that ?

Like a moment , you are miserable .

24 hours , feels like 10 years .

Have you not noticed this ?

So , only miserable people will have a long life , joyful people .

Life goes away like that as if it's a couple of days , it passes away like that , if you are creating what you really care to create .

So , one thing that every young person should do is without the influence of the peers of your own age group , without the influence of your professors and your parents , without any kind of influence somewhere , you must stay by yourself at least for 23 days and look at it .

What is it that I want to invest this precious life into ?

What is it that will be worthwhile today and worthwhile after 50 years for me to invest myself into , you , invest your life into that whatever it is however small , big , it doesn't matter if you see that this is something truly worthwhile and you invest your life in that this will be a life of fulfillment .
