True Success
I did it my way -Frank Sinatra
What is a successful life?
Success, I believe, is living your life in your own way. It
means doing what you love.
Money comes when you do what you love because you will do this
one thing with passion.
Your passion gives you courage and persistence in the face of
all obstacles.
Even if you lack the skills to do what you love, your passion
will drive you to learn those skills. And when you acquire them,
you'll do them better than anyone else.
In Sanskrit, this pursuit of your right work is called "dharma."
In fact, in the ancient holy books of India, it was advised that
it was better to do your own work poorly than to do the work of
another well.
When you come from a place of love, you create something of
beauty in the world. Your love expressed is passion.
Our souls crave beauty, for it is our truth; and in our truth,
we find our meaning.
A value that is derived from a concern other than our own is a
false value. It is false not because there is anything wrong
with it, but because it does not stir us. Eventually, we will
resent spending time on what we do not love.
Much of the unhappiness that I see in business is because people
do work that they do not love. They work for the money and
because they come from that place of self-denial, they never
make enough of it.
When you come from your own power, then everything flourishes.
Yet you can't connect with that power unless you do what you
love.
How do you find the work that you love?
You go within and you dream, and if you are bold, your dream
will surface before you in brilliant colors like Aphrodite
rising from the sea.
How do you bring your dream to life?
By dreaming with open eyes in the bright light of day, you open
the way to miracles.
