We are constantly driven by a need to Succeed. Every minute of the day, we are overcome by thoughts to Succeed in all possible ways (no matter how minimal and insignificant it may seem).

For example, everyday events such as getting a seat in the crowded bus, overtaking another car in traffic , going ahead of the other guy in lunch queues, these small incidents unconsciously make us feel good, and give us an ego boost that we beat the other guy to it, that we Succeeded in reaching our goal before him.

Watch, be still and observe these incidents everyday, all around you.

We fail to realize however, that Success cannot be found in the outer realm. The Success that is spoken about is material Success. And when you examine closely, the Success would have brought with it years of hardship, negativity, disappointment, anxiousness, anger, sorrow, etc.

And when you finally taste Success, it would seem you have achieved what you set out to do, but before you know it you are caught in another cycle to amplify your stature in the society (Eckhart Tolle explains this in detail in his book : A New Earth, Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose).

You must know and understand that we are the epitome of Success. YOU beat millions of other sperms to reach the egg.

YOU ARE SUCCESS!

Success need not be material. Success is every small little thing you did that made you or another person around you feel warm and happy.

Success is when you do small little things everyday, in the NOW that leads you to your goal.

The Successful Now constitutes to an eventful outcome.

And these little tasks, do not bring you the negativity that I mentioned earlier.

You will then realize, these small little tasks you do, in any type of occupation you may be in, will give you satisfaction. It will definitely not stress you out.

Success is when you smile at that person who pushed you to get a seat, Success is when you allowed the guy to get in front of you in traffic, Success is when you let the guy buy his lunch first.

The happiness you will feel when you let go of ego is what Success must feel like.

And it is very likely, that the person on the receiving end is going to pass it on to someone else thus creating a chain of positive events.

Be amazed at how easily you can cause a chain reaction that will allow numerous people to smile at least for a split second! And these are people you would have never even met! And possibly you would never ever meet in your life!

The opposite is also true. A negative action on your part, showing someone else your disappointment, anger etc can cause a chain of events that will also affect someone you never met.

I believe your heart would fancy the former.

SMILE! For Life IS SUCCESS.

And CELEBRATE!
