Success and money

Hello free world!


This is going to be interesting... I know many of you are drooling already.

So, do those things always go together, hand-in-hand?

Often they do, actually. At least if you read from left to right...

I tend to think of success as something that you achieve (using your talents, skills, body and mind) and money as something that society gives you meaning to reward you by it's standards of achievement.

So, REAL SUCCESS, in my humble opinion, is not really about money at all. It is about progression, development of whatever you are born with and taking yourself to new levels. Money may be involved, but it is not the key either to life or to success in general.

Success follows hard work? Some people may say that and that is true as well if you ask me. But you also have to work smart and work right and work CORRECTLY in order to achieve.

You may slave away for centuries and not get very far, except for developing a sturdy attitude maybe which is not always healthy necessarily.

On the other hand, you may actually WORK for 5 minutes and get further than all those centuries. It is about the quality and type of work you do. One of these examples is debasive, the other creative.

In modern society, many of us are still slaves. People often dont think for themselves, which indeed is a hard thing to do sometimes, and often there is even not much time for that as people rush from home to work or from job to job.

So, THE FIRST THING IS: YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO THINK FOR YOURSELF. To have your own ideas.

To start with, you could go camping for a couple days, to get rid of everything that is artificial and outside influcen. Even cell phone networks have their magnetic fields which can be heavy on our bio-fields. Once you are down camping, you realize that life is not about money or high social status necessarily. Basic survival shows you what's really important. You learn to do away with things you don't need and just keep the basics, you purify actually.

That is one of the reasons why country folks often are much more happier than "citizens" are. They may not have more money or more friends or flashier clothing, but still - they often are happier. Try it and see for yourself if you havent't been in touch with nature for a while!


Talk soon,
