Experiencing
Spiritual Success In Every Sphere Of Life (Part 2)
Success has wrongly
been defined as the happening of a positive event or reaching an important
milestone in your life. We often say we have done well in an exam or we have got
a degree or we overcame a serious illness or we finished a project at work.
These are all outer events when something good happens in our life. We have
always thought that success came from outside. On the other hand, success in
every sphere of your life will be much more and much more long lasting if
internally you are powerful, content and joyful and full of truth. This is
because our internal state of mind along with our intelligence and other
important personality traits and also our physical skills bring us success.
Sometimes our internal state of mind is very good but we lack positive skills
and maybe a good physical personality suited for a task, and yet we do well in
the task. This is because your inner state influences the task much more, even
if you have not worked very hard or used too many skills. On the other hand,
when our internal state of mind is sometimes not so positive, clear and powerful
or our mind is full of unnecessary and negative thoughts but we are extremely
talented and possess good intellectual skills, we don’t perform well in a
particular task in life. In this case, the skills are not enough to achieve the
required purpose. So, long term success is attained more by what we think and
positivity in character than by the different positive skills and talents we
possess externally.

Message for the day
Forgiveness
means to forget the mistakes of others.
Expression:
The one who is able to forgive is able to forget the mistakes in his future
interactions even after noticing the mistakes of others. He is able to be loving
and so he is able to give corrections with love. Only when there is love in
one's interactions, will the corrections given will be effective. Also such a
person will not be caught up with anyone's mistakes and will be free from
attitudes.
Experience:
Even if there is a temporary feeling of negativity, if I am able to forget the
mistakes of others and forgive them, I am able to be free from negative
feelings. I am able to be light and free from the burdens of the past
interactions with them. So I find myself successfully able to deal with others,
whoever they may be.
