✶𝗣𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲: The first part of this resopnse is rather long & explains you the "spiritual aspect" of life and true success. You may skip to PART 2 (scroll down)

A Spiritual Insight

🌴The topic of this response is "success". But really the answer depends on what you call 'success' to be, isn't it. For some, success is getting 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐬 at an exam, for some it is getting a 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐣𝐨𝐛, for some it may be maintaining 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐬, but profoundly, to some, success could mean simply 𝗱𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲... And that my dear friend is true success.

☘️The very reason you pursue getting good marks, a good job, maintaining healthy body & relationships... is to finally FEEL GOOD and live a comfortable life. 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 can only give us that. You can buy 𝚐𝚘𝚘𝚍 𝚚𝚞𝚊𝚕𝚒𝚝𝚢 𝚏𝚘𝚘𝚍, 𝚌𝚕𝚘𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚜, 𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚜𝚎, 𝚝𝚛𝚊𝚟𝚎𝚕, 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚐𝚒𝚟𝚎 𝚋𝚎𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚛 𝚕𝚒𝚏𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚌𝚑𝚒𝚕𝚍𝚛𝚎𝚗. These 𝐟𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 are the aim and objectives of doing hardwork that you do, isn't it?

Path to Happiness

🌻Now... take a pause here. Keep in mind those 5 things that were supposed to give us happiness, and what we can get/buy with money (𝚏𝚘𝚘𝚍, 𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚜𝚎, 𝚌𝚕𝚘𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚜, 𝚝𝚛𝚊𝚟𝚎𝚕, 𝚌𝚘𝚖𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚝𝚜). Now think about many many people who has got a large amount of money. They are rich, and thus can afford the finest quality food, clothes, house, travel & live comfortably... But, do you think all of them are HAPPY? 𝐃𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞? Do they have no problems at all?

🍁I think you all know the answer. No amount of material wealth or comfort can make you FEEL HAPPY... Because, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧. It has nothing to do with what you feel outside. Yes, having pleasant relationships with family, having good friends, and having a fulfilling life with a purpose & opportunities can ensure that you keep moving forward towards a set goal of life.

Tip: Here, as an addition to this—we suggest you to read our post How to Enjoy Life

Meet YourSelf

Do you see what that mean? That means: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗷𝗼𝘆, 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 & 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗸, 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗹.. 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗴𝗶𝗳𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗔𝗧𝗛 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲!

➥We experience ᑭEᗩᑕE Oᖴ ᗰIᑎᗪ when our mind is in the 𝕡𝕣𝕖𝕤𝕖𝕟𝕥 𝕞𝕠𝕞𝕖𝕟𝕥 & not attached to any desire or worry.

➥We experience ᒍOY when we are doing what we truly 𝕝𝕠𝕧𝕖 & 𝕖𝕟𝕛𝕠𝕪.

➥We experience ᒪOᐯE when our relationships are 𝕡𝕠𝕤𝕚𝕥𝕚𝕧𝕖, 𝕝𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥 𝕒𝕟𝕕 𝕗𝕦𝕝𝕗𝕚𝕝𝕚𝕟𝕘.

➥We experience ᖴᑌᒪᖴIᒪᗰEᑎT when our 𝕥𝕙𝕠𝕦𝕘𝕙𝕥𝕤, 𝕨𝕠𝕣𝕕𝕤 & 𝕒𝕔𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟𝕤 are progressive and alligned towards the goal/purpose of our life.

🌈So you see... Everything we seek outside, has its origin in our mind. It is within us. We are made of joy, love, and peace that we seek outside. 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲: We feel good when we help a needy or give them what they needed. The feeling of "𝚑𝚊𝚙𝚙𝚒𝚗𝚎𝚜𝚜" comes from within. It is like 𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝 for doing something good.

🪴Therefore, it must be true that we can experience the joy, happiness, peace & love within us even without an external reason or medium... 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴: Even if something we desire is not happening outside, does it take away the PEACE, LOVE & JOY living within me? Does external situation change my original/eternal nature?

Practical Guidance

The 7 Qualities for Success

Success (in any field) mainly depends on your intent, skills, quality-work, mindset, experience, presence of mind, and patience. These are the 7 most important qualities to nurture, if you are seeking 'success' in anything.

Intent:

Success starts with having a clear purpose or goal. When you know what you want to achieve, it becomes easier to stay focused, prioritize tasks, and channel your energy in the right direction.

Skills:

Acquiring and refining the necessary abilities in your chosen field ensures you can perform effectively. Continuous learning and practice help you stay competitive and confident in your capabilities.

Work:

Consistent effort and perseverance are essential for turning plans into tangible results. Dedicating time and energy, even in the face of challenges, builds momentum toward success.

Mindset:

A positive and adaptive outlook enables you to bounce back from failures and learn from them. Viewing obstacles as opportunities for growth helps maintain motivation and fosters resilience.

Experience:

Hands-on involvement and accumulated knowledge deepen your understanding of your field. Every project, challenge, or collaboration serves as a lesson, improving your judgment and decision-making.

Presence of Mind:

Staying alert to what’s happening around you allows for quick and correct responses. Being mentally present aids in recognizing opportunities, adapting to unexpected changes, and preventing mistakes.

Patience:

Lasting success often doesn’t happen overnight. Waiting for results while steadily working toward them helps you remain calm and focused, allowing you to build a robust foundation for long-term achievements.

The 3 Keys to Success

Whether you are working for an exam, or trying to get a job, or finding success at work... the three most important keys to get success are:

● Determination & Positive attitude
