When the time is right, things will happen. You can equate that to a watched kettle never boils or when will the rain stop falling? And you will get the same results. Things will happen when they’re meant to happen or some things are not meant to happen at all. They are merely a distraction to keep you occupied while what’s meant for you is being delivered. That’s right, something more than you could have imagined is on its way to you. All you need to do is relax and let it arrive.
In this life, you’ve got to define your own idea of success because if you don’t, you could spend your whole life chasing after someone else’s idea of success.
Most capalists will agree that Elon Musk is a success story. However, the surfer dude who lives down by the beach, enjoying the waves and the sunshine when he can, wouldn’t swap his lifestyle for Elon’s life because he knows what real success is for him.
The person who enjoys their own privacy does not dream of becoming a star on a reality television programme. In fact, they probably won’t even watch those programmes, whereas people who dream of being famous will be glued to their television screens.
Some people’s idea of success is waking up in the morning feeling ready for a new day, going through their daily routine without any pain, stress or anxiety, and then going to bed that night and falling into a deep relaxing sleep.
In essence, it’s important to determine what you want out of the life you’ve been given. The people who tell you, “You’re not successful unless you do this or have that,” are selling you their idea of success, not yours.
I’ll leave you with one final thought.
There are nearly eight billion people on this planet, and each of them are capable of achieving success. They just need to define what success means to them.
P.S. The population of the United States is approximately 330 million. If everyone’s idea of success was to become the president of that country, approximately 330 million people wouldn’t achieve their dream of success.
It’s good to have an opinion on the stuff you’re interested in. However, you should be selective with whom you share your opinions because they could be wasting your time and energy.
It’s a fact of life that the majority of people do not listen with the intent to understand. They listen for the gap in your words so that they can share what they’re thinking.
If you find someone who clarifies what you said before offering an opinion on what you said, enjoy those people because they are listening to you.
If you believe in fairies, they’re real to you. They may not be real to anybody else, however, that really shouldn’t concern you because if you need someone else to validate your beliefs; you’re the person who’s questioning your own beliefs.
You can interchange anything you like instead of fairies and the same rule applies.
