[00:02] else's harvest season. It's not normal to compare yourself to anyone, even someone your own age. One of the beautiful pieces of wisdom that comforted me greatly is the saying, "Your ambitions will not breach the walls of fate." You breach the walls of fate." You
[00:17] simple situation, but it made me change my perspective on something very important, something that you and I might never have noticed. A few months ago, I was going to a friend's house. Anyway, I entered the building I was going to, and there was a young man my age
[00:32] standing by the elevator. This young man kept pressing the elevator button repeatedly, pressing and pressing and pressing, a lot. So, who noticed this? The building's doorman. He came running up to him and said, "Sir, what are you
[00:47] came running up to him and said, "Sir, what are you doing?" The boy just stayed silent and didn't answer. Then the doorman...  The building manager laughed sarcastically and said to him, "Do you really think that pressing the elevator button repeatedly will make it
[01:00] elevator button repeatedly will make it go faster? Be patient, my son, be patient. God is with the patient." We all got in the elevator and went up, but that sentence, or rather that verse, stuck in my mind: "God is with the patient." As quick and simple as this situation was, it made me
[01:14] ask myself: If I were in that young man's place, would I have kept pressing the elevator button repeatedly, believing it would make it go faster? The truth is, when I thought about it, I realized that yes, I would have pressed it a lot. And when I asked around, I found that most young people would have
[01:30] pressed it a lot, believing it would make the elevator go faster. But you know, if you think about it, the issue is bigger than just an elevator and a button. It's bigger than that. It's about how we, as young people, have become...  We're always in a hurry, always rushing around, running without
[01:46] knowing what we're running for. From a young age, we've been in a hurry, in a hurry to grow up, in a hurry to get our share of young age, we've been in a hurry, in a hurry to grow up, in a hurry to get our share of this rush increased. We became eager to finish our education, wanting to get through this difficult phase
[02:00] we all go through. I believe that when I finish my education, I'll be relaxed and happy, but we finish our education and discover that we're even more in a hurry. And when we finish our education, we become even more in a hurry. We become eager to achieve our ambitions, eager to
[02:15] work, eager to get promoted, eager to leave our jobs and start our own businesses and make money. We're in a hurry to do so many things at such a young age, and we remain in a huge cycle of anxiety.  Exhaustion and suffocation... we're completely worn out, and there are
[02:30] two possible scenarios: either we give up at the first setback and retreat, or we achievement we're making. Everyone around you says that success tastes sweet
[02:42] and wonderful, but when you achieved it, you didn't savor it. You don't know how to appreciate the success you've accomplished, and you ask yourself, "What's wrong? Why can't I enjoy what I'm achieving?" In the end, Why can't I enjoy what I'm achieving?" In the end,
[02:56] live your whole life as an unhappy person, unable to enjoy what you've achieved or the journey you haven't yet. But you know, if you had searched, you would have found that God answers you, reassures you, and tells you, "Be patient, for God is with the patient." Then you're astonished and say, "Wow, I wasn't in a hurry!"
[03:12] We're always running around, thinking, "I'm better, I ...  I
[03:58] came to mind: when you're learning to drive in general, they tell you that when you take a turn or make a U-turn, you shouldn't hold onto the steering wheel. They tell you not to keep gripping it tightly
[04:10] the car will adjust on its own and find its way. We need this point; we need to let go and let things flow. We need to let go of the steering wheel for a while in our lives. But the most important thing is to strive and give it your all, and believe me, the best time for your harvest season is the time God has written for you. One of the
[04:25] beautiful pieces of wisdom that comforted me greatly is the saying, "The highest aspirations cannot breach the walls of destiny." Focus on this: "The highest aspirations cannot breach the walls of destiny." Meaning, no matter what you do, no matter how much you run in this world, no matter how much you strive to achieve the greatest possible
[04:41] accomplishments, you still won't be able to escape the boundaries of destiny.  What God has written for you, Fahd, will happen. Take a step every day, even if it's small, towards your dream, and leave the a step every day, even if it's small, towards your dream, and leave the rest to God.
