Medals on the wall, money in the bank and success in the eyes
of the world does not help your spirit in feeling loved, peaceful or healthy.
Being successful as conventionally defined only ensures good
food, clothing and shelter which cater to the survival needs of the
ape/primitive man’s mind but do not satisfy the gratification needs of the
advanced human mind. Unlike an animal soul which is happy when it eats, the
human soul seeks acknowledgement and is not satisfied with just food.
It has been a general trend in the world to aim at success
in the future by aiming at increasing wealth and accolades to feel happy. However,
if your success has not increased your feelings of contentment, peacefulness
and well-being, you would not be feeling happier irrespective of your money or
fame.
Targeting happiness is a different direction of effort than
targeting monetary success is. To be happy, you need to invest energies on
being healthy, eating sensibly, resting adequately, exercising regularly,
meditating for the soul etc . . . . while earning money usually requires
leaving priorities of health, sensible eating , balanced exercise and
meditation in order to run the rat race .
However, just earning money does not make you feel happy.
Just as rats are never happy, those people who run the rat race are never happy
but are always restless, anxious and afraid as the rats are, literally. Competitive
focus on having more than other people, creates an automatic focus on imbibing
energies of others, be it negative or positive energy. The subconscious mind
does not understand the distinction between good and bad energies. If you are
competitive at the core, your subconscious mind will also increase your health
problems along with your wealth /success as it wants to have most of every
experience on Earth.
To find happiness with success, it is necessary to balance
your energy such that you invest time on being happy and healthy along with
meeting needs of survival by earning money.
Balancing monetary success with inner happiness ensures that
that the lower chakras of survival are balanced with higher chakras of
emotional gratification and the body works in alignment with soul needs.
