The True meaning of Success

The inner meaning of a successful life with respect to fulfillment of all accomplishment is interpreted as a lengthy period of joy, happiness, pleasure and feeling of achievement.  Any successful person from any field whether it is sports, music, literature and business attribute the process of success as an adherence of various steps.  The real thing of life like joy, serenity, peace, harmony, integrity, selflessness, altruism and happiness are intangible.  They derive from the inner self of human beings. If you focus your concentration and do meditation on these qualities, you build up a treasure of heaven in your subconscious.  That is the true place where “Moth and rust do not consume, and where thieves do not break through and steal”.  Matt. 6 :20.

For any successful life and achieving success, you must do the thing, you love to do.  If you do not have a love for the work you do, you cannot be successful.  Success not only comes from the hard work, but also from the work which is performed with sincerity and love.  There are three steps to any successful venture.  The first step is your unconditional love for the venture; say your job, business or any other work.  No sooner, you are disheartened to perform the job and you do just for the sake of doing, you cannot possibly consider yourself successful at all. You may get appreciation to complete the job, but success will delude you.  For example, you want to be a psychiatrist, it is not enough to obtain a diploma and display the same on the wall.  You have to continue attend seminar, conference, come in contact with the eminent psychiatrists, practice counseling more and more, so that you take a keen interest on the subject to make yourself a great and reputed psychiatrist. Then only, the real success comes which completely depends on your love for the profession.  

The second step of success is to get acquainted with the specialty of the subject and put considerable efforts to excel in it.  Suppose, you choose a profession of chemist, you must deliberate your attention on one of many branches in the field and study enough to acquire the in-depth knowledge of that particular branch.  You have to concentrate so hard with all your enthusiasm that you become almost expert in the chosen branch.  “He is the greatest among you; let him become your servant”.  There is a tremendous similarity of mind with this type of attitude with that of the person, who believes that I will be always successful.  Contrarily, living only on the theory of ‘get by’ won’t fetch you success.  Your motives must be greater, noble, honest and also more altruistic to get success. 

The third step is to serve others for your success.  You must serve others, thereby casting their bread upon the water. If you are only interested to serve you, then chances of your failure will be more.  Suppose, you are a functional head of a sales department of a big company and you are acknowledged for your contribution to the growth of the company’s business volume for a particular period, by your top management.  If you ignore the contribution of other sales people of your department, and their extra efforts, you may lose the feeling of the success, because your junior staff will be demoralized.  Your desire should not be a selfish attitude.  It should benefit each and everyone.  The path of a complete circuit should be made. 

Your efforts and hard work must go ahead with the purpose of other persons benefit and their benevolence.  Then only, it will be back to you magnified.  If you do work only for your benefit, your success circuit will not be complete.  And, this apparent success will evolve like a short circuit and lead you to distress and sick.

Success is achieved step by step and you will be more successful when you perform in unison with others.
