Everyone wants to
learn the secrets of being
successful in life. There are
many people who have achieved
success in this world. We seek to
know how did they manage to
achieve it, so that we can become
successful like they are. We read
a lot of books about how people
become successful, but yet so
many of us are still struggling
with achieving our own success
even though we posses such
knowledge. What is the mystery
that is holding people back from
the success that seems so elusive
to achieve?
We are
taught that to be successful, you
must have goals in life. You must
work hard towards them and you
must take advantage of
opportunities that come your way.
You must take a lot of action and
make lots of mistakes in order to
learn from them. You must be
disciplined and diligent in your
work. You must think creatively
and try all kinds of ways to get
results. You must get to know the
right people who can help you.
You must believe in yourself and
you must persevere all the way
until success.
Thinking
about success this way makes it
seem like it is so hard to
achieve. It seems to take a lot
of effort and energy. It seems
that success is something that
doesn't come to us, but we must
fight for it. We wonder why life
is such a struggle. Why can't we
just relax and enjoy living it.
Why can't we simply experience
everything we desire in an easy
and effortless way. It just seems
so wrong that this is the nature
of success. The truth is that it
really is wrong to think that
success is so difficult to
get.
The
reason why we have been taught
all those things about success is
because it has been studied from
the wrong angle. There are people
who try to study the secrets of
successful people and to figure
out what is it that they do to
achieve big things. They try to
study their actions and their
characteristics. But they are
looking at it from an outside-in
perspective. They do not know
what's really going on in the
inside of these people. Sometimes
even successful people also teach
from an outside-in
perspective.
But when
you look from an inside-out
perspective, someone who appears
to have persistence, is simply
doing something because they have
a great desire to fulfill an idea
that they have. It is not that
they are trying to persevere in
doing something, but it's that
they just can't stop doing it
because it's something they want
to express or create.
Perseverance and persistence
isn't even on their mind. It's
ridiculous to drive yourself to
do anything at all. They are just
being totally driven in the
direction they are taking.
They do
not try to set goals to achieve
things, but they are following
what is already in their heart to
do. They do not go around
searching for opportunities and
grabbing any they can find. They
simply do what their heart
desires to do, and to go for
anything that allows them to
express more of it. Situations
show up along the path that they
are on to bring them further and
to greater heights. They do not
try to network with as many
people as they can, but they
simply relate with those they are
drawn towards.
When you
do something you are naturally
drawn towards, all the energy,
drive and opportunities will just
show up to aide you along. That
is because what is in your heart
is your purpose. The universe has
chosen and created you for a
special part in everything, and
it is directing you from within.
The universe has also arranged
everything necessary for the
fulfillment of your purpose to be
present along the path. You are
not trying to create anything at
all because it is all already
there when you step into
it.
People
can try to set goals and work
hard and do all the things
necessary to achieve success and
succeed at it. But they still
won't be truly happy and
fulfilled when they achieve it.
That is because they have set out
to achieve what they think they
should achieve when it isn't
really what they want. They
bought into the world's idea or
someone else's about what success
is, rather than allowing spirit
to guide them. True success is
expressing what makes you happy
deep down within and living it
fully.
You can
also follow your passion and do
what you truly desire to do and
still find it such a struggle.
That is because you are trying to
work at it rather than allowing
it to work through you. You may
be doing something you like, but
end up doing it for something
else rather than doing it for the
pure expression of it. That is
why many people who started out
doing what they love end up being
miserable because they strayed
from the path. You must always
remember to focus on doing
because you love doing it.
The
characteristics of success are
what is observed when looking at
it from an outside-in
perspective. We miss the point
when we are trying to model the
ways by which successful people
achieve their success when they
are simply following their
personal guidance. You cannot
look at what someone else is
doing and follow it to get what
you want. You have to do it your
own way by allowing yourself to
be guided from within. You have
to shine your own light just like
they shine theirs. Follow your
purpose.
We are
taught that you must have the
right mental attitude in order to
flourish at what you do. But the
right mental attitude will be
present naturally when you do
what you love, rather than trying
to love what you do. If you
simply do not love what you are
doing, then you shouldn't do it
because it is not what the
universe has chosen you to do.
You must change to doing what you
truly love because that is where
your success is waiting for you
to live it. Love comes naturally
when you do heart work not hard
work.
