[00:01] younger than you, but they know their goals and ambitions in life, while you don't. This puts a lot of pressure on you, and you find yourself in a whirlpool, not knowing who's right and who's wrong. But then you find God's response in this regard is very beautiful. He tells you to imagine that one day
[00:16] two people who don't know each other wake up, and each of -shirt. Let's assume, for example, that one of these two is named Ahmed and the other is named Mahmoud, and I know his name is Mahmoud, just like you. Anyway, Ahmed decided that he's going to go buy a t-shirt, but from the moment he wakes up,
[00:32] he knows what he's going to buy. He's going around looking at the t-shirts and imagining what they look like, and he wants to go buy them right away. Mahmoud is the complete opposite. Mahmoud doesn't know what he wants to buy. He's just going around looking, and he'll buy whatever his feet take him to, and whatever he sees in the shops.
[00:46] So, do you think that I  One of them is right, Ahmed or Mahmoud? Both are right, right? Ahmed knows what he's going to buy, he knows what he's aiming for, and he'll go and get it. And Mahmoud isn't wrong either. He'll go and look around, and he'll
[01:05] finding something better that satisfies him more because he's not going out with a specific goal in mind, so he might end up buying something beyond his expectations. Mahmoud represents us, you and me. Lately, we young people have become stressed and frustrated because we don't know what we want to be. What are
[01:19] our goals in life? I don't know what I want to learn, what I want to pursue, or where I'm headed. We're under a lot of pressure from the people around us, especially those we see on social media younger than you, but they know their goals and ambitions.  Life, and you still don't
[01:33] know, puts a lot of pressure on you, and you find yourself in a whirlpool not knowing who is right and who is wrong. But you find God Almighty's response is very beautiful in this regard, and He tells you that man can have nothing but what he strives for. God Almighty tells you in this verse that man does not know or reach anything
[01:48] in the world except through one thing only, which is striving. So please answer me, imagine you are still a young person, studying, experimenting, still seeing how your life will be going, how will you know your goal distracted from your goal. It's very normal at the beginning of our lives for all of us to be distracted, not
[02:05] knowing where to go or what to do. But where does this come from?  The point is, when you start experimenting, you have to try more than one thing to figure out what your goal is. Because you might try something and not feel it, not feel like it's similar to you, so you try it and give it up and try something else, and
[02:19] feel like it's also not similar to you, so you give it up too. Until you try something and find yourself in it, you find yourself giving it all your time and focus. As soon as you find that thing, know that it's your goal. And by the way, you don't necessarily have to reach your goal yourself. You might reach your goal by chance; God might put it in your path.
[02:32] I mean, how many success stories have we heard of very important people who achieved great successes, and they already talking to you now because I know you're stressed and scattered and don't know where to go or what to do, and that's perfectly
[02:44] normal. But the point here is, the point here is that you have to try more than one thing. You tried something and felt that it wasn't  It's similar to you and it didn't work out, so what? That's normal. Then try something else that might be similar to you. And nobody's
[02:56] chasing after you, that's normal too. And believe me, as you take the first step and try, you'll know where your goal is. Look, every step you take towards your goal, even if it's in the wrong direction, knows that it goal, even if it's in the wrong direction, knows that it brings you one step closer and advances you towards your goal.
