For Success To Happen

Dear lovely people,

One hilarious truth I learned recently is what Vince Lombardi said “The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary.”

Therefore to attain success, you have to give yourself entirely to any particular endeavor you wish to undertake. Many are those who say that success is not some eventual reward. It is experienced each and every day. I agree only as long as you consider Pablo Picasso’s words to be gospel truth “action is the foundational key to all success.” As long as decisive action becomes your way of life, success will be more of a daily experience than a finality.

Ultimate success that you are accustomed to hearing about is not some abstract concept. It can be yours at any moment of your life if and only if you’ve done the necessary groundwork. Not necessarily because you want it so badly and not necessarily because you secretly hoped for it. But much more because it is the natural result once you adopt the decisive action mentality. Success does not always yield to the strongest or the most robust. It does not necessarily give itself to those who call its name the loudest. It is fickle and mysterious in its ways and you can trust me on that.

Like Swami Vivekananda says “Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life – think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success, that is the way great spiritual giants are produced.”

When you love something so deeply that you could not care less whether it leads to success or failure, you are on the right path. At such a point, success will not only arise, but it will chase after you like a perpetual menacing ghost. Not because you want it to. But because it simply has no choice. To put it straight, success has an infinite affinity for consistent decisive action.
