What is it that prompts you to make the sacrifices you've long felt would be necessary to devote yourself to your passion? How is it that you came to be experiencing the path of surrender to your inner self? Who entered your life to support and encourage you in ways nobody had before? If you haven't yet taken a quantum leap into this unknown, you're more than ready.

For a long time, most people are conditioned to follow a logical path, that which is understood and even defined by others. Real, enduring success is defined by your intuition. It's not based on what you learn outside yourself, but a layer of reality you learn to listen to inside. The how isn't taught. Rather, its something you discover in phases. You'll find it reasonable to skip steps followed by other people on their own quests. You may feel no desire to sit or wait for events to unfold, and feel convinced apathy really has no point for you.

In order to grasp what path to success you do desire to define for yourself it may be useful or even necessary to experience the impact of laziness, aloneness and pure solitude. You may need to sort through the difference between your reality and self-created illusions. You'll need to determine which among your choices may become a hindrance to your true path. Some individuals will tell you feeling lonely is simply a phase. Being alone is how you perceive yourself always, whether a success or not because you perceive yourself separate from people.

If feeling lonely or experiencing human connections is incidental, then separating yourself from the familiar is vital to isolate your view of success. Solitude allows you to evolve as yourself, to get back to yourself and to define the road to success only you can clarify. Becoming a victim of loneliness is like the impetus to seek an escape route back to others, back to dependency, back to a situation that prevents you from being truly honest with yourself.

Consider Che Guevara wrote The Motorcycle Diaries. This chronicles his harrolding South and Latin-American adventures with companion Alberto.  Guevara's background in an upper middle class family, had prepared him for a medical career and a relatively sheltered life. The rustic, overland trip was Guevara's first exposure to the harsh realities of Latin America. In his book, he details how he interacted with widespread indigenous peasants, including mine workers and persecuted communists. Che's journey forces him to face his deepest hopes, fears and principles. He decides he desires to fight and die for the proletariat cause in Latin America. Solitude, forging friendships with strangers and learning to survive alone, enabled him to redefine his view of success, outside of his original mental bondage.

This shows how emptiness and dissatisfaction you create is valuable as you grow to discover what truth it hides. You can determine you have value whether you initially sense you're a 'nobody' or a 'somebody.' Che's view of success evolved into an extreme vision of independence. As you isolate yourself in your mind or your physical reality, and feel empty enough to permit your truth to flow freely inside, to feel as though you have no purpose and no value, you'll finally uncover the crux of what has held you back and components of your true success.
