Before discussing the concept of success, let's ask ourselves, what is the meaning of our lives? What is the journey of life in the short decades of our lives? Believe that each of us has our own answers, and probably each of us will have different answers. In my opinion, the true meaning of the meaning of life is the pursuit of the fullest expression of one's own life in the world. It is not just about achieving success and wealth; it is not just raising children and serving the elderly; it is not just about surpassing oneself and pursuing excellence; it is not just about making meritorious achievements, being alone or helping the world. Each of us has a flower of life, you have to choose to bloom, the pursuit of the fullest expression in the world, bathing in sunshine and rain, which is the source of life.
Thinking about the meaning of life, let's use this as a source to talk about the definition of success. So what exactly is success? It can be that you have fulfilled your wishes and dreams; it can be that you have gained wealth and fame; it can be that you have surpassed yourself and overcome difficulties. Success If you look at it from an inner and outer perspective, inner success is the pursuit of the fullest expression of your own life in the world; external success is how many people you can actively love and how many people you serve.
Therefore, the secret of success is these two laws: one is to take the initiative to love people, how many people you can love, how much success you can achieve; the other is to take the initiative to serve others, rather than passively waiting for others to serve, how many people you can serve and help, how much success you can achieve.
For a doctor, success is how many patients are treated; for a teacher, success is how many excellent students have been cultivated; for a scientist, success is how many scientific research results have been achieved; for a businessman, success is how many people your products and services have helped. As for the wealth and fame that comes with it, it is only an appendage of what you do later, and it is also a reward for how much the world has done to you. The former is the cause. The latter is the fruit.
However, many of us, in today's society, have lost ourselves in the materialistic flow and comparison and ostentation, narrowing and materializing the definition of success. Success is not a single matter of how much wealth you have made and how much you have become an official; it is not how much wealth you have gained and how much fame and fortune you have gained. These are not the only yardsticks of success. These are even just an adjunct to success. While we mortals blindly pursue wealth and fame, we must first think about how many people you can love and how many people you have served, so that you can get these material rewards.
But those who have achieved great things must be people who can love many people, who can serve many people, who can help, influence and change many people. Their cosmic energy is high-energy, and great leaders, great scientists, great entrepreneurs can do that. And many of us are at the level of low energy all our lives, and to jump to the level of high energy, we must learn, experience, break through and change. Learn to be with good people and learn from them; learn from the suffering and failures you have experienced, from which you can help and serve as many people as you can, and how many people you can love, how much you can achieve. Therefore, there will be a famous saying that the poor are good at their own, and the reach is also the world.
For us ordinary people, doing simple things to the extreme is a kind of success; doing our work and position dutifully is a kind of success. There is no noble profession, and all walks of life can be outstanding. You can even do a craft to the extreme, but also a success, such as excellent welders in society, excavators, etc., you can become a scarce resource in society, it is also a success.
On the contrary, if the wealth you get, when it is far more than you need, you must beware of the blessings of life being hurt, full of losses, losses are profitable, we must understand this truth, which is a reason for the happiness and charity of countless people who have achieved fame today. On the road of blindly pursuing the wealth and fame of life, if you are not careful, you will lose yourself and be eaten back. The defeat of countless corrupt officials and the fall of countless businessmen today must have a shadow and trajectory to follow in this regard.
After reading this chapter, will you have a new understanding and definition of success, and will you inspire the definition of success and self-worth in life? In the next chapter, we will explore the secret laws of a deeper level together, helping you to unleash the infinite spiritual potential of your heart and find the self that is truly your own.
