How To Feel More Successful

What does success mean to you? I know what it feels like to have a great life and to have created so much that I love in my World but still feel empty. A nagging feeling that I should feel better, be better, be more successful.

Success is dictionary defined in relation to the achievement of goals, aims or purpose. Attaining wealth, prosperity and/or fame. The problem with that is if you feel like you don’t know what you want, or you’re unsure of your purpose, how can you ever feel successful? There’s no goal to reach, no race to win.

What does success feel like I discovered is a much better question. It feels like joy, peace, freedom, satisfaction, contentment, pride, warmth and love. The truth is that all of those feelings are always available. You don’t need to do more, be more or have more to experience them. The amazing irony and massive Universe trick is that once you allow yourself to feel all of those emotions even without the goal, aim or purpose, the blanks fill in. Like water running into the wells of a sandcastle or colours flooding into a paint by numbers drawing. Once we learn to feel the joy, peace, freedom, satisfaction, contentment, pride, warmth and love right now, the World and all its riches opens up to us.
