I’ve listened to countless motivational stories and sharings across all platforms. From Bahasa Melayu and Indonesia to English, from younger to older generations, and from business people to academic scholars.

This is what I’ve found recently, and I truly believe this is a wisdom sent by God to me, to ponder upon one key of success. Successful people in their fields share a common principle; they know and believe they have the power to control their destiny.

They don’t let negativity affect and consume their thoughts. Even if it does, they would stand up and come up with other plans. I also noticed that they SACRIFICED a lot of crucial matters. Sleep, rest, bonding time with loved ones — these are what they usually lose while walking through their journey of success. Because of that, their path is not for faint-hearted people like us.

Back to the key of success I’ve mentioned above: the power to control your destiny. And you know what, I’ve incorporated this mindset lately and witnessed the change!

There was a time when I felt completely unbothered to fold my clothes, but when the thought of it popped into my mind, I instantly felt the courage and became energised to do it!

It simply went like this; if I wanted to, I would do it. It all depended on me at that moment, whether I wanted to start taking action or dismiss it. It is because, at the end of the day, you are the one who controls your destiny. Let that sink into our mind.

So, try to understand the concept of this principle and apply it in your daily and small tasks. I hope you will experience the change I talked about. Good luck and Ramadan Mubarak!
