I believed from my school time that success means getting an admirable job with higher pay, name, fame, and wealth. But I didn’t get that. For many years I spent behind to achieve materialist success in my life, I ran behind to get success. Still, I didn’t get this. The question was “WHY and WHY.” But When I knew that real success makes you happy and something that you enjoy. I believe you are successful when you have found that purpose and commit your life to it. It means the freedom to do what I want to do when I want to do it.There are much more significant measures to look at:
Do you speak and act from your soul?
How strong and resilient are you?
Are you pursuing what truly matters in your life?
What do you think about success? Am I thinking right or wrong about success? Jobs, careers, and workplaces should not define success. Success should not be about a person’s position, personal profit, power, possession, prestige, pleasure, and privilege. To me, money, status, and possessions are poor indicators of success. Success is not how much money or possessions you have or gain over your lifetime. Success can mean many things to different people. For some, it is marrying the “right” person, having beautiful kids, acquiring wealth, or being famous, or anything to make someone else jealous of what you have. For others, it means being recognized and appreciated for one’s talents, whether they be in music, arts, sports, or another field. Success is finding the purpose for which you are here and walking in that purpose. And that is different for all of us. Many people don’t define their success based on how much money they make or how famous they are. Money and fame are not always measured, but money and fame certainly help to be successful. As much as money is necessary to live comfortably, money should not be the only thing we want in life. It should not be the only driving force that pushes you to work hard in life. It’s a social definition of success.
Everyone wants to be successful, and everyone wants to be healthy, happy, thin, and rich. The wonderful thing about the achievement of success is that every step in that direction is rewarding. Each step you take toward becoming a better person and accomplishing more than you ever have before makes you feel happier, more confident, and more fulfilled. You have heard it said that “nothing succeeds like success.” It means that the greatest reward of success is not the money you make but rather the excellent person you become in the process of determining success and applying self-discipline every time it is required.
What is your first thought when you get up in the morning?
What about me?
Will I get what I want today?
It is a mantra that we learn to relate subconsciously throughout our day. We see ourselves as the center of the universe, and we are constantly disappointed and indignant that the universe doesn’t give us exactly what we want. When we stop worrying about getting what we want and think of the bigger picture, including other people’s needs, we may surprisingly feel more cheerful. However, a lot of what we do for ourselves is not always making us happier. We try to get what we think will make us feel happy and safe, the new job, the lovely home, nice car, the beautiful partner. But we are never satisfied and always want something else. And this dissatisfaction leads to materialism success.
My success is my Inner peace, and ability to achieve my peace of mind is the accurate measure of my success and the critical determinant of my happiness. It will make me more conscious, alive, and happy, and it will help me live life more fully. Peace of mind means finding happiness, contentment, and bliss no matter how hard you go through in life. I achieve inner peace; I discipline myself to let go of everything that disrupts my inner peace and contentment. Zen Buddhism teaches that the leading cause of human suffering and unhappiness is “attachment.” Don’t hold on to guilt, and you don’t need to justify your past actions or try to prove yourself. Of course, it took me time to start enjoying my journey correctly, but I understood that it all came from the inner cross.
We attract what we want. If you cage yourself in sadness and anger and reminiscence, this is what you will get for sure. It also took me a while to make peace with myself and enjoy my own company. I understood that you must be selfish in life and think about your happiness rather than chasing people’s validation. For me, “Inner peace is a new success.” Suppose you had an uncountable dollar in the bank but were unhappy in life, suffering from depression, anxiety, and getting careless by everyone. Would you consider yourself to be a success? If you have a job that pays you one million dollars every year, but then you hate this job and cannot stop dreaming of a different life, would you say you are successful? What’s the point of success if the cost of that success is a miserable life? My goal behind this topic is that don’t run behind on worldly things, and You should also parallel work on your inner peace, true self, and for your purpose in life.
