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.

The DNA for Success

Your biological DNA carries instructions for the development, functioning, growth and reproduction of your body. But your body is merely an instrument for living your life purpose.

What about your life purpose itself? It too needs codes for all four of these aspects enumerated below-

1. Development
2. Functioning
3. Growth
4. Reproduction

So let’s explore the core codes you need to have for each of these aspects for your life to progress beneficially.

1. Development - This requires a curious mindset and an interest for life long learning. You should have questions for everything that you see or hear and not accept things as gospel truth just because a well meaning person is telling you something. Think again even though thinking is hard and don’t come to conclusions but to a current understanding which may change with time. The more you learn this way and the more you experience life the more you will develop.

2. Functioning - The chief codes of conduct for smooth functioning are integrity, commitment and intelligence. If you don’t have integrity you probably love yourself more than your purpose and will end up as a narcissistic. If you don’t have commitment you will flitter about not achieving much. If you don’t work with intelligence you will fumble and fall often. All three will impair your functioning if you do not develop them and you must have them all to move ahead sure-footedly.

3. Growth - When you mature, you grow, and diving deep into experience helps you with that. See more places, meet different types of people, reflect on challenges and contemplate about your future course. All these are like manure for your growth.

4. Reproduction - Propagation is a law of nature. Trees grow and bear fruits that ripen and fall to the ground bursting out seeds, some of which grow into trees. Ask yourself which fruits do I have that I can plough back into my life to bear more fruit? It can be accumulated wealth that can start a new range of what you do or knowledge applied in a new combination leading to innovation.

All the four aspects given above must go on simultaneously so that your life purpose follows a natural pattern which will always turn out healthier and will hold greater promise.

You are lucky that you can develop your life DNA to move from strength to strength with serial successes and a heavenly life that you will love and others will admire.

What are you waiting for? Get on with it now and start today with some of the things you learnt...

11 C’s for success during Covid times of uncertainty

Covid has caused uncertainties in income, health, wellbeing and relationships. Uncertainties can take you into negative spirals of thoughts and emotions specially when there is discomforting news.  Remember these 11 C’s of success while navigating through Covid times of uncertainty. If you sow these 11 seeds now, they will help you live the life of your dreams and at the same time help you to contribute to the betterment of the world. 

1. Compassion – This is the highest intelligence which is why it comes first. Unless you are doing something for the betterment of humankind in some way you will not have lasting success. Compassion is also the parent of most leadership qualities. Empathy at the workplace and at home keeps everyone motivated and well, which is specially needed during Covid times. Empathy requires good comprehension too, so put your focus on understanding a situation holistically before reaching out to help.
