19 States of Success

Success means to get desired outcomes and is derived from two Latin words:


  1. Succedere
  2. Successus

Succedere means, come after; prosper; be victorious.

Successus means, a good result and happy outcome.

If we combine the two it essentially means you must successively get happy outcomes for success.

After a lot of reflection and discussions, I arrived at the following 19 states that may mean success for you:

  1. Being alive today since human life is fragile.
  2. Being healthy and fit without external aids.
  3. Being equanimous everyday.
  4. Doing what you love.
  5. Doing what you are good at.
  6. Being able to trust others and having their trust.
  7. Having recognition.
  8. Fulfilling your desires freely.
  9. Being kind everyday.
  10. Being forgiving everyday.
  11. Being helpful everyday.
  12. Being loving everyday.
  13. Being joyful everyday.
  14. Being grateful everyday.
  15. Being accepting everyday.
  16. Being aware of the present moment.
  17. Having no regrets.
  18. Having no guilt.
  19. Not having the need to define success and therefore unbound by definitions.

Tathastu (So be it) - is a state where you or someone blessing you have full faith that your wishes will be granted by the universe and this is when you are unbound by definitions.

There was a gentleman who had a lucky run on the stock market for 37 years and became a billionaire. He then opened a popular airline, but shortly thereafter he died in his early sixties due to multiple organ failure. And, there was another gentleman who lived about 2000 years ago, who among other things during the struggles of his life had all the 19 states of success mentioned in this article and attained enlightenment. He died a natural death in his early eighties and is still revered across the globe even today.

What seems to be most important in achieving success is not losing your balance as you go along because only then will you have good results successively.
