Scientists estimate it can take 1,000 years for a unit of water to make it’s way around the world’s global currents. However, if you look at the oceans from space, they appear to not be going anywhere. We think of success as a journey of sorts, as fulfillment as being “out there” and success means we have reached that place. There’s a secret to success, however, and it’s not “thinking outside the box” or having a “can-do attitude.” The secret is knowing that place doesn’t exist.
Self moving within the Self
The word success comes from the word succession, or to put it a different way, evolution. One thing preceding the next, cause and effect, elaboration. We are all evolving all the time. Even when it feels like we are moving in circles, they are really spirals. All this evolution, however, is to eventually figure out that where we were going was with us all along. Just like those ocean currents, everything is Self moving within the Self. Nothing ever really goes anywhere. No matter what journey you’ve taken in life, whether it’s been going through a tumultuous relationship, overcoming addiction or simply a trip to New Jersey, it’s all been a journey back to Self.
Your value
Many of us base our sense of self value on how successful we are, whether we published that book, or got hired for that job, or married that person, whatever…
