I realized one day that attaining true, deep, lasting success – as I choose to define it – is really much simpler than I used to think it was. Having a mansion on a hill has nothing to do with it.
Having a growing, balanced portfolio has nothing to do with it. In fact, very little out there in the world has anything to do with deep, lasting success and fulfillment. All the rewards are really found within us, within our minds and inner spirit, and so the most important work is within us as well. The work is in creating ever better partnerships with ourselves and our spirit.
It might be much simpler than you think to create a successful, wonderfully fulfilling life for yourself. Most likely you don't need all the stuff you think you need in order to achieve the happiness, satisfaction, and fulfillment you are ultimately looking for.
What do you want ultimately?
Let's think it through: Many of us throughout the world want more income. Certainly financial security is a worthwhile goal.
But what do you want all that money for? We think that money will make us happy, or at least content, but as soon as we make any money we discover that it brings no lasting happiness or contentment. Yes, there are sweet, heady moments when the big checks first roll in, when our first major goal is achieved, but those moments pass quickly, and we find we're the same people with the same number of problems, and the size of our bank account doesn't change that one bit. Having money doesn't affect all our habitual ways of thinking and usual ways of acting; it doesn't affect our ways of being.
We don't need money to be happy or fulfilled. In fact, money has nothing to do with it.
Once we understand this, isn't it good news? We can do what we want, and be who we want, and we may not have to change our financial picture much at all. We might need more money to have what we think we want, but having these things, we soon discover, isn't all that important: It is who we are and what we do – it's our doing and being, not our having – that ultimately matters in life.
Be well,
PS – GlideWing Online Workshops are once again presenting On the Magical Path with Marc Allen, a 3-week video course. They’ve teamed up with The Monroe Institute to include guided meditations and exercises featuring their powerful Hemi-Sync technology.
The combined result is a beautiful, powerful, life-changing course that includes continuous personal support from me via workshop forums and messenger.
This journey begins September 25 and will run until October 17. You can join at any time during those 3 weeks and catch up at your own pace.
