What is authentic success ?
What does success mean to you?
Success means different things to different people.
Some people identify success with an ego mind and for them, success might be only about achievement, recognition, money, certificates, diplomas, and titles. They measure success only on a material level.
There is nothing wrong with seeing success this way, but it is not a full picture of success. Success that is measured only by how much you achieved in your life is a very limited way of looking at success it is not wrong but just limited not aligned with the true essence of who you are and why you came here.
If you are measuring how successful you are from that limited perspective if not now but later in your life you are going to realize that something very important is missing in your life and you may become depressed, not happy, not fulfilled, not satisfied in life despite all the success that you have achieved.
Why this is happening?
We live in duality, Earth experience is about duality and we are also made of two parts your Being or your Soul or your Higher Self or God whatever you call it I’m going to refer to Being or Soul and then another part is your ego mind.
The ego mind is a wonderful and important tool to have if you know how to use it, but if you don’t remember who you are, where you came from, and why you came here then the ego mind will possess you and you will never have enough.
Because you simply can’t, an ego mind without Being can’t exist and that’s why it is so fearful, defensive, and guarded because you are not aligned with the true essence of who you are.
So what is true success?
True success is something that you can never lose, something that no one can take away from you. True success comes only when you are in alignment with the essence of your authentic Being.
Every other success is fleeting. You can gain money you can lose money. For example, some entrepreneurs can get lucky and in a relatively short period can make lots of money but because they made this money out of alignment with the essence of who they are and when they lose them they can’t get back to where they were before financially.
True success is something no one can take from you because even if you are facing challenges and you will face financial, health, or relationship challenges if you are in alignment with the essence of your Being you will always get back on track you know it is just a part of your journey and you follow the path.
So every other success is really fleeting because everything is always changing to your current expectations. And your current expectations are based on your beliefs and your alignment with the essence of who you are.
True success is knowing how to stay in balance and follow your heart or your purpose. Because when you know who you are and why you came here then there is no fear of losing anything. In reality, there is no fear of losing anything. Fear is a projection of your mind.
When you are in alignment with your Soul you know how to listen to your intuition to your being and you follow the path I can guarantee you from my personal experience that everything will always work out for you!
True success will only come when you will fully express your unique Being. That’s the purpose of your Soul, that’s why you came here to express your unique being.
Your Soul didn’t come here to fit into the box conditioned by our society, live in struggle and fear, be guarded, and never follow your true passion because of the fear of not having enough money or whatever other beliefs you picked up along your way that are not yours.
That’s why you don’t feel you are worthy because you are not in alignment with the essence of your Being. You are confused, lost, and fearful especially if you are watching the news and absorbing everything, they tell you 😊
Some of you who are reading this article may be working in 9-5 which is not fulfilling and you want to start your business but fear of how it all is going to work out is keeping you in the box.
Some of you may have started a business and you struggle and even may be thinking of returning to 9-5 because of the fear, Fear of being seen, Fear of what others will think of me.
In a lot of people, there are deeply rooted beliefs that don’t serve them that they want to FIT into the box and be like everyone else. They are afraid to be different.
This is not your Soul's purpose. The soul can’t fit into the box because it came here to express its uniqueness.
I’m not criticizing schools for example, and uniforms, but it starts already there. They put kids into the same cloth called “Uniform” pretending that everyone is the same and creating employees instead of teaching how to build true wealth and helping kids to align with the essence of their Being.
The majority of our society is lacking authentic awareness of how things really are and who they really are and that’s why the majority of people are struggling.
Fortunately, everything is always changing and old systems will die if they don’t catch up. We are in the process of expansion as Beings and on the Universal level as well. And if you want to thrive you really need to catch up with that expansion.
I love this quote “ You never change things by fighting with existing reality, to change things build a new model that makes existing mode obsolete – R. Buckminster Fuller
Never fight against systems that you don’t like as you will be pushing against their resistance, and you will become a part of that resistant energy.
So what do you need to create something new?
You need to align with the aspects of your Being:
You need courage.
You need self-expression.
You need to care
You need to be authentic.
You need to be responsible.
You need to be committed.
There are more aspects of being but that’s just a few of them from an Ontological perspective
Let me ask you now.
What would you do if you knew that you would always have what you need?
Would you still live in fear or would you express yourself, your being?
Everything you need is literally inside of you, you just need to remember who you are and why you came here and that’s what success is. Material success will come with that. That’s why no one can take from you true success because no one can express your unique being.
There hasn’t been a better time than now when things changing so rapidly, old systems are crashing more and more, and people are losing their jobs. It is not good or bad it is just what it is and looking at changes from a broader perspective it is good because it is time for you to step up, learn about who you are, and express your unique being.
Everything is always changing and will be always changing and to keep up with those changes you don’t need another degree you can if you want, but what you really need is to know who you are, your Being.
Remember circumstances don’t matter but your state of Being always matters. Circumstances that you are living in now and you don’t like have been created by your state of Being. So if you change and expand your state of Being your circumstances either in finance, or in health or in relationships will change rapidly.
You will never be able to have effective conversations with others if you are not your true authentic not guarded self and if you can’t have effective conversations, you can’t be successful it simply can’t work.
If you want to experience what true success is book a free call with me and we can have a conversation 😊
