UNDERSTANDING REAL SUCCESS

So much success is driven for the hollow approval of others! We try to achieve for our parents and constantly conform to the shallow demands of a material world. Our egos steadfastly push us to be what others expect of us. Always concerned what others might think or say about us, we dance to the tune of the world rather than listening to the rhythm of our own soul.

We measure success in monetary terms without ever contemplating how that money was made. Are wealthy drug lords successful or have they just learnt how to pray on the tragic flaws of others?

We come into the world with nothing and go out with nothing. Our only baggage into eternity is the soul which we most frequently ignore, because we are in hot pursuit of creating short-term comfort rather than significance.

The need for recognition creates an unhealthy spirit of competition where we keep looking over our own shoulders to see what others have, to benchmark our own success. This creates envy and jealousy and is a sure way to actively dissipate our valuable power. If we only lived authentically and focused our gratitude onto what we already have, we would discover real personal power.

Success should never be measured in any terms other than the ability to constantly become MORE. The quest to be MORE is steeped in a healthy understanding of self-love. It drives us to extend ourselves to grow beyond comfortable personal frontiers and reminds us to take charge of our powerful minds. When we shift our intention to being rather than having, we enter a substantial paradigm where we unearth the treasure of our selves and find happiness at the very core of our beings.

Success is about transcending ourselves and using every adversity as a building block to grow and become MORE. Living with such meaningful purpose substantially prepares the soul for onward flight. This is surely the essence of living out a vision for life where we discover that success is temporal and requires the dedicated and dynamic quest to always be MORE.
