Defining Success

Success is defined by the interpreter's understanding of success, often limited to their conditioning of what their cultural society deems it to be, and their parental guidance on how to succeed and what it is and what it entails. External success consists of material aspects such as a profitable business, assets like property, money, good physical shape, qualifications, or a degree. Internal success includes valued self-esteem, confidence, maintenance of mental health, and attainment of excess knowledge and the smarts attached to earned material success.  True Success is not something tangible that proves the evidence of success, nor can you predict or identify it in words, as the reality of success is peace in reaching and sustaining destiny. To achieve the destined path and stay on it, to get to the collective destiny, which is Heaven and experience the individual's destined journey which is the dream of observation rather than the struggle of the chase of dreams that separates dreams from reality.     

External success can be viewed in various ways depending on the intention towards the aspiration of a proud outer worldly experience. It is the phase where one realizes the desire to remove restrictions of free motion with the attainment of comfortability or financial freedom money can bring. Reaching for material success also embodies the need for validation to be perceived as a winner or a productively admirable being. Whether it is to enjoy the excellence of physical admiration by attaining the body that is relevant instead of focusing on health, or to lavish a luxurious life into fruition to enjoy excess of materialistic pleasure instead of making space for Divine purposeful service with financial freedom.    The ego without, which is the ego within others or the societal ego that forms the societal structure influences the desires to attain material success leaving one chasing for more. Although the soul aspires to reach material freedom by simplifying existence and motivated by the knowing of purposeful service to the Divine with faith of accompanied sufficiency. The interpretation of material success is conditioned by the ego forming the division of societal classes and is the rush of a fast-paced life unable to take heed of the beauty that creates material. Focusing on external success drives a speedy journey because of the missed beauty that illuminates slow and attentive observation, due to the race to attain what society or parental guardians assumed to be admirable. An outstanding degree to acquire a remarkable job or business, attract an approving counterpart, and to subsequently purchase the life that displays the achievement of success.   

Internal success is the desire to attend to inner achievements to build security and confidence required to attain material acquisitions instead of to reach the destined path where the reality of success is revealed. Internal success is the endeavour to collect knowledge and acquire the internal version of money that is power. ‘Knowledge is power’ initiated by the societal interpretation of what power is establishes the general internal success. Materialistically successful people tend to be full of knowledge in various areas to assume a smart personality presenting an admirably successful person. Despite the knowledge not being utilized on self- development or filtered to the conversion of wisdom to service. Internal success becomes the focus on memorization neglecting real comprehension that causes either the collection of knowledge or wisdom. The intent to understand acquires wisdom, whereas the desire for knowledge gains memories of intellectual studies, concepts, theories, and distinguished words.

The reality of success is the peace all materially successful and internally successful people seem to be seeking. To comprehend true success is to define peace and what it entails to achieve real success and attain peace of mind that emanates a peaceful life. Serenity follows the letting go of desires and the attention paid towards healing that asserts understanding towards circumstances and people incarnated amongst and crossed paths with. Invoking gratitude for all that was, is, and family, friends, associates, and acquaintances that are noticed to be divinely orchestrated to deliver one the ultimate understanding they require to find peace. Success becomes observed as a collaborative Divinely guided achievement as all involved had a part to play to assist in finding peace if the lessons are learnt and the recognition of healing and the opportunity to heal is noticed. A peaceful life is not a perfectly undisturbed existence, it is the awareness of peace within that shares space with temporary disappointments from other people’s conduct or unjust treatments. Easily released with the faith required to find peace amongst the Divine Source’s creations and governance to deliver justice with Divinely guided actions to attain it.      Aligning with the destined path allies one with true success and peace because destiny is the journey presently orchestrated to utilize an individual as a vessel for Divine production that blesses one with a fulfilling existence. Healing internal wounds and external relations heightens connection and aligns one with the ultimate connection that is the Divine Source that gift’s the supreme peace guiding one to destiny. Internal wounds/trauma convert to tests or lessons to strengthen guarding security, comprehension of breaking a karmic cycle, and the refurbishment of confusion to objective understanding, heightening compassion, and emotional intellect. Relationships become assets and achievements become healing and the creation of purposeful service becomes inspired by healing. Why relationships are observed as assets is because of the value they possess to teach, assist, and medicate. Laughter and love are the ultimate medicine, a personal example of inspiration is the supreme teacher, and friendship is the genuine assistance. Peace is not a destination, it is the undertone of the journey. No matter the accolades, peace can be prevalent depending on the mindset and the comprehension of the reality of success. Meaning success can be achieved irrelevant of which stage one is journeying through and destiny is not a destination although a path. The path Divinely guided towards soul discovery, requiring healing, that enlightens exploration, and results in continuous conscious expansion.   The reality of success is the combination of the internal success that inevitably delivers the external achievements without the neglect of the purity necessary to attain peace of mind emanating a peaceful life. Purity is achieved through honest and authentic display of one’s character that aligns one with their destined path, achieving peace and the reaching of destiny that is an unfolding dream of reality. Detached from the identification of what success is taught to be from the conditioning of society or parental guardians. The detachment aids in observing a developing dream-like state of existence, understanding the temperance of disappointments and the no control over outcomes, only attention and behaviour that aids in letting go of the mental depression that relies on outcomes. Initiating the surrender required to discover peace of mind and simplicity in the external display of existence.

To conclude, material and internal success both intend to assert power, assuming money and knowledge define power and success that go hand in hand in the conventional term of success. Generally internal achievements are presumed and judged to be the acquisition of knowledge, and impressive qualifications that usually display the surface level understanding of life subjects. Continuing superficiality with the intent to gain materialistic acquisitions to prove external success and project the display of power with money attained with internal knowledge considered to be power. The reality of success/power beneath the manipulated outer reality dominated by fake power that grew from fabric actually grows immaterial and satisfies existence beyond the surge of excess knowledge and money. It is the discovery of the astral body consisting of the soul that is aligned with the omnipotent Divine assuring real power in the deliverance of blessed guidance and filtration of superficial knowledge to wisdom. Healing and purging the ego originates the exploration towards the discovery of the soul that is true power/success, which aligns one on the destined path (read The Entirety of The Self Blog to discover the soul). Understanding destiny as the journey aligned with the souls’ path to surrender to the unfolding of a dream like reality. Differentiating from a sleep-like dream with the conscious knowing of the control one has over their interactions and conduction but not the outcome. Letting go of a desired outcome releases desires and surrenders to the beauty of the unknown propelling the attentive observation required to read signs/guidance to sustain the purity needed to attain the approval to commence on the destined path. Peace of mind obtained from the letting go of hurt and illusions peels the layers towards forgiveness and gratitude emanating a peaceful life and aligns one with destiny.      

*** Success is finding peace; connecting with the part of yourself that can love all and connect with all despite who they are and what they have done or not done in their lives. Organic relating and connecting determines the peace one holds within and displays the level of authentic expression that is in alignment with the unique soul devoted to the Divine Source and is the definition of success***.
