THE WILL TO SUCCEED

How important is it for us to make a name for ourselves in the workplace or to have a reputation that instills a sense of confidence?  What does this mean to you?  When you work extra hard to achieve a goal, how does that feel? 

Do you try to mentally establish you own self-worth?  If so, how is this measured? 

No one is more important than the next person.  We all have worth and in the overall picture we are all equal.  Certainly, some individuals have minds that work extraordinarily well, filing information for easy access and great retention.  Other individuals are extremely sensitive to the needs of others and can do wonders working with others to assist them in learning their life’s lessons.    Some have management capabilities and work extremely well with others.  Others create wonderful works of art, from buildings to hairpins.  Some of us are writers, some clergy, some politicians, some bakers, some parents, some monks in solitude, some street people bringing a sense of love to their fellow citizen. 

For some reason, many, many years ago, someone, somewhere thought it necessary to put us all into categories and decided which ones were more deserving of better pay or deserving of greater acknowledgement or praise.

We all have our part to play in the overall scheme of things and our goal should be to do what we do best as best we can.  There is nothing wrong with goals in life and reaching these goals does provide a certain amount of self-satisfaction and provides a feeling of self-worth, even though our worth should never be in question.  We should strive to do the best job we can regardless of what it is we do, as there is a great feeling when our day is complete knowing that our life’s purpose today was well done.

Pushing ourselves ahead in earthy ways can also be satisfying but that satisfaction is normally a temporary state of happiness and in conclusion actually a distracting illusion.  If we closely look at the “why” behind this feeling of satisfaction, we normally find it is a product of the ego and any creation from ego is temporary in nature. 

Let’s move beyond the ego for a moment.  A sense of satisfaction from external accomplishments can still be wonderful although temporary, but just because it is temporary in nature, we should never forsake doing our best.  We should work at achieving and setting goals for ourselves in this earthly existence (for we are here to live), but perhaps we should place our concentrated efforts on lasting lessons.  Perhaps we need to look within with contentment to experience lasting happiness and a sense of real accomplishment.  Perhaps working on recognizing our true self and resolving internal struggles (mostly produced from ego) will provide lasting results.  Perhaps we need to open the door to perception and pay attention to our true needs and drives to live on a deeper more meaningful level.

These higher achievements provide satisfaction on a deeper level and certainly on a more significant level.  Allowing our true selves to bloom will enhance a feeling of completeness and an inner feeling of true joy.  The more we concentrate on our inner existence, the more we will feel complete and fulfilled – a lasting happiness. 

Set and strive for your goals in life for we are here to live a physical existence, but we should also pay particular attention to who we truly are within, to reach deep within to discover a true sense of self without judgement and open to each and every perplexities and rewards. 

Do what you do best.  Utilize your personal gifts.  Carry out every individual thing you do to the best of your ability.  Recognize your efforts for a job well done.  Understand that you are just as important as each of the glorified individuals that have walked and are walking this earth.  We all have our specific gifts.  Do not squander these gifts.  Let them shine!
