Being successful in life means enjoying life. Success is not just securing physical items and money, it is actually more to do with your enjoyment of life. Success is being yourself, and in being yourself your endeavors are likely to resonate with others - which will eventually bring you worldly success as well.
What I have learned from my own experience, is that pursuing things just for the money or safety in them is a very limiting choice. If we go against our basic nature, and stifle our true mode of expression - then it is bad news for our well being. You will have less certainty if you follow your heart, but you will feel alive and you will be thankful for what you do have.
Without a fundamental enjoyment of life, it's rather meaningless. We enjoy life the most when we are able to fully express ourselves. Getting into the habit of fully expressing ourselves and being open and honest is an amazing road to take. It's an amazing relief to let go of the seriousness which keeps us stifled and bottled up.
A major barrier to authentic self expression is fear. This is a pattern of fearful thinking and projecting that we pick up from the influences and people in our lives. This is called conditioning, it happens to everyone. This fear of exposure, or fear of expression is a widespread mind program that a lot of people have going on for them. The good news is that just as we have acquired this program we can also remove it. It gets removed or rewritten through consciously living our lives and opening up to freedom once again.
The first step is to acknowledge it, the second step it to work toward over riding it. It's your process of freely expressing yourself which well eventually erase that program, resetting you to a joyful exuberant state. Remember that it's a process, and there will be self consciousness and fear at the beginning. Remaining true and continuing the process is the main thing, we don't blame ourselves for the experiences we have - and we don't hold on to them either.
You might have to take time out to process things, this is perfectly OK. It's about committing to the longer journey and feeling the certainty of our eventual awesomeness - it's about expressing your unique talent or way of seeing and doing things. This is the main thing, you are in the process of connected back to your spirit.
The core of what I am talking about is following your heart. This means moving into the things that make you excited - and giving yourself the opportunity to try and fail and learn. Failing is just learning, but if we never try it then we will never get that valuable feed back. Fear of failure is another major road block toward living an authentic life.
Only you can be you, and you are a 100 percent unique gift designed to give this world something special. It's about you and your conversation with life, it's not about what anyone else thinks. Go your own way, and see what kind of magic unfolds when you allow yourself to be open to the uncertainty of life.
Much Love
