Each person forges a path, decides on his or her dreams, and evolves based on innermost wishes. You may even imagine your life as if you already taste the experience of forthcoming success. Yet, what does all this mean? Would it be possible for your mind to transform reality into the images projected by your own mind? And what of success you may be living in the here and now?
As you reflect, you begin to realize that mentors, guides or idols all do precisely what you would have them do. You admire them because you aspire to be like them. Part of you desires to usurp their power, rise to their status, adopt their view or lifestyle. You make it all up; who they are and what significance they have for you.
To experience a different kind of success, you must move beyond examples you have created and projected. To do so, its useful to decipher your true values and the underlying motivations for your choices. If you aspire to be a famous bodybuilder, does this imply you feel insecure and unaccepting of your physical body? If you desire to engage in thrill-seeker activities, would this mean you crave attention or aim to face fear? Success seekers have hidden reasons for their quests they may not even recognize. It’s amusing and enlightening to reframe your understanding of the truth.
Success is a proposition created in your mind, based on your values, and perceived wants or needs. Money for example, will buy material and other things, and it has its own place in the hierarchy of illusions. Miracles and a sense of success may transcend borders. Where you believe you originate and what you think you’ve accomplished don’t have to matter. To establish meaning in your life means you make some kind of satisfying contribution. Attract the life you desire.
