Success Begins From Within

What is success? There are many definitions. One that I hear often is “to be able to do what you want”. That is true, but I would complete the definition by adding and underlining: “and knowing what you really want”. In fact, social pressures often force us to focus our energy on achieving what is expected of us, and we may not spend enough time to truly comprehend what motivates us. Our beliefs on what is good or not can be influenced by external factors.

The self-awareness about who we really are and what we really want is the premise of achieving any real, long-lasting success in our life. Without this, we are likely to move along two ways: One is the walk around life aimless, without a goal. The other is to pursue an aim that, on a deep level, we do not feel like is really ours. In both these situations, we find difficulties in expressing and manifesting our full potential. Even if we keep on repeating to ourselves that we have a certain goal, if we are not deeply convinced of it, it will be difficult for us to really put in all the energy and commitment. Our inner conflicts and unclear intentions interfere with our actions.

Things turn around dramatically when we know what we really want. Not only will we feel and use another level of energy, but also we will experience a feeling of peace and trust. We are then ready to manifest what drives our soul and can create the destiny we deserve. This will lead to a dramatic improvement in all the key areas of our life.

All we need is already within us now, but we need to really find it, listen to it, and translate it into our realities. When we dedicate time to deepening our self knowledge, we spend our time well.
