Manama, Kingdom of Bahrain-Beliefs have conditioned us to look for success through the path of our career, achievements, profits, praise, financial wealth etc. That way, we have learned a narrow view of success, running in search of this kind of success and pursuing it, we come to exhaust ourselves, get burnt out and depressed.
In order to achieve these successes we have stopped caring for the inner being and relationships. That has meant and means stress, pain, anxiety, family break ups, personal and relational disintegrations, as a consequence we feel empty.
Although we achieve the applause, the income and other successes, the self is malnourished and has the sensation that it is lacking something, reaching fame, financial wealth, the power of a visible position, and reaching it with a broken heart, broken up family and a sick body, causes depression which explains why, in our recent history, famous people have ended up committing suicide.
If we want to redirect our personal and collective lives toward true well-being and wholeness, we have to re-evaluate and redefine our beliefs and factors that lead to success and failure, before asking yourself what success and failure mean for you, it is important to be clear what context you want success in. Sit in silent and look in the main dimension that has been forgotten, look inside yourself where the true you exist, it’s the ideal way of perceiving success or failure.
