I have come around to believing that the only reason to be here is to spend as much time as possible doing what you love to do. Life is too short to spend it doing a job that gives you no satisfaction and fulfilment.

I have spent a lot of time eliciting my values and trying to replace some of them with more resourceful ones. I find that I just can’t get myself to feel motivated by money.

Money is like food. If you don’t have enough, it is hard to think of anything else. But when you do have enough to meet your basic needs, how much more do you need?

Earl Nightingale said “success is progressively realizing a worthy ideal.”

For me success is becoming who I was created to be. I did not choose a lot of things – my race, my name, my parents, my sex, and so much more but there are somethings that i find very easy to do simply because they come to me naturally. Those are the things i have been destined to do.

Success will be bringing them all out from within and maximizing them to the fullest to make the whole of creation better than it was before I came along.

I have to “Live Life More Abundantly”

Great idea about the e-book. I’m off to Jonny’s site.

I’m with Anthony Feint. Living the way you want is success for me. It varies from person to person. A minimalist lifestyle may appear simple, but its implementation is a whole different story. Others crave financial security. The important thing is not to focus too blindly on the outcome; we should rather aim at making the present moment as happy as possible. Focus on the small steps one at a time, and success will reveal itself to you.

Thanks Ryan!

It’s definitely a fine balance between following instructions and then finding your own way.

I feel the same way. For a while I have wanted to find a way to be successful in my own way. I have a general idea of what I want. Just recently I started placing the building blocks in place for my foundation. Reading this post and your view on success helps inspire me to move forward the way I want to go. Sometimes it makes it easier to see your own way when you know other’s out there think the same way. Keep up the great work bud!

Back to basic, the fact that we can wake up every month is a success!

Henri – I like your attitude and definition of this. I’ll be blogging on something related for a post I have had in the back of my mind for awhile. Nice to see similar thoughts expressed so easily.//Marc

Success is somewhere between giving life a hug and making it scream in sweat-soaked ecstasy.

Hey Evelyn! You’re right on. Material comforts are nice but not essential. Sure, there’s a baseline, like having a roof over your head, food and so on, but when you start going over a certain point, it just isn’t necessary. However, it’s always cool with a lot of stuff, I’m not saying that I don’t like it, but I’ve realized that I am happy without it.

Great post! Thumbs up to the tip on redefining success in our own terms. I used to define success as having attained material comforts. And then I realized that having wealth will not necessarily make me happy. I will still be in a state of struggle and that can hardly be called success! To receive universal support towards our dreams, we need to work from a space of aligned purpose.

First of all, I must say I really enjoy reading your blog Success for me is to be able to do what you want to do, as Anthony said. It further means to be able to live your life. I don’t want to have to work sixty hours a week just to earn more money. I actually don’t think that it’s worth it at all because you don’t have the time to spend the money.
And my last thought is that money doesn’t even get your far. I think instead of spending more time working you should invest that time in relationships.

That’s what I find happening to me most of the time! I’m accidentally just doing what I like and end up finding the right people and doing the right things at the right time. It’s awesome

Yes, I think the LoA works when we REALLY TRULY want what we’re asking for. I find other higher plane things, like energy healing and intuition, also seem accessible for me when I TRULY NEED AND DESIRE THEM. Some people seem to be more flashy psychics than me, but when I need to know something, I generally do – or better yet, I’m already accidentally-on-purpose drifting into the right course of action.

You’re right it’s a fine line and you have to be careful not to fall to either side.

And it’s definitely worth the challenge and it has so many benefits!

Glad to contribute to your blog, Henri. Keep at it!
