**Discovering the Path to Success**

Are you ready to unlock the secrets to success? In this newsletter, we're diving into the wisdom shared in a recent video transcript to help you understand what it truly takes to achieve success.

**Success is Not a Destination**

- Success is not just about achieving a set of goals or reaching a certain level of wealth or fame. It's about the journey and the mindset that you cultivate along the way.

**Seek Competence, Not Success**

- Instead of seeking success, focus on empowering yourself and developing your competence. When you do something well, others will recognize your success.

**The Commitment to Success**

- Those who are truly committed to being successful don't settle for comfort. They understand that impactfulness of activity and profoundness of experience are essential for achieving their goals.

**Investing Your Precious Life**

- Take the time to reflect on what truly matters to you and what you want to invest your precious life into. Whether it's a small or big endeavor, choose something that is truly worthwhile to invest yourself into.

**Take Time for Self-Reflection**

- Spend some time alone, away from outside influences, to truly understand what you want to invest your life into. This self-reflection can help you discover your path to success.

**Your Life is Precious**

- Remember that your life is ticking away, and it's up to you to invest it in something meaningful. Don't waste your time on worthless pursuits, but instead, focus on creating something that brings you joy and fulfillment.

**Conclusion**

Success is not just about achieving external markers of achievement, but about the journey and the impact you make along the way. Take the time to reflect on what truly matters to you and invest your precious life into something that brings you fulfillment and joy.

Those who are not successful think if you read 10 points in a book you're going to be successful.

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.

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 going to be successful.

Those who are successful, they know, they stand on their head and do circus on a daily basis, okay?

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

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

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.

You look up to yourself, that's madness, okay?

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

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, world will recognize.

Well, 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 1 or 2 hours, sleep, then evening have 1 tea and then smoke, and then again go to work.

And at 08:00, eight-thirty, 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 rest.

So those who are committed to being successful with whatever they are doing, 1 important aspect of their life is they are not settling down wherever it's a bit comfortable.

Because comfort will happen when they lower you in the grave, very comfortable you are.

Right now, it's about ensuring that there is profoundness of experience and there is impactfulness 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 1 of you, your life is precious, isn't it?

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?

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

What is ticking away is not time, what is ticking away is your life.

So this energy that you call as my life, How are you going to invest it because it's going to… if you are 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.

On a particular day when you're very happy, twenty-four hours, poof, it went off like that like a moment.

You are miserable, twenty-four hours feels like 10 years.

So only miserable people will have a long life.

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

So 1 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 the any kind of influence, somewhere you must stay by yourself, at least for 2, 3 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 you
