SUCCESS

It is a sad fact of life but not everyone can be as successful as they would wish to be. In the world we live in there are winners and losers. Most people want to be in the group of winners but unfortunately many remain where they stand. One definition of being successful means to stand above the others around you or to know more that the one sitting next to you does.

You should understand how to have more success than your colleague and to work for success. Success doesn’t come free or cheap, you have to pay for it. The price is not always monetary but it is expressed in manners of time and effort, these being precious details that you can’t receive back once you gave them away.

Success is hard. Generally speaking to be successful you have to work hard and have a little bit of luck (luck being described as laboring under correct knowledge) Often you have to try many times until you truly reach success.

“Eat, Pray, Love” by Elizabeth Gilbert

This is one of the most enjoyable and uplifting books I have read in a long time.

Autobiographical but reading like a novel, it tells the story of the author’s internal and external journey in search of spiritual enrichment and meaning after a difficult divorce and disillusionment with her life in corporate America.

She first travels to Italy, where she enrolls in a language school, not because of any need for a knowledge of Italian but in order to immerse herself in the beauty of the language and the passion of the country and its people. The ‘eat’ part of the title comes from her appreciation of the Italians’ love of good food and understanding that preparing meals and eating them in good company feeds the soul as well as the stomach. Reading this section of the book made me want to visit Italy again very soon.

How Strong is the Power of Place?

Recently I was thinking about the extent to which we as human beings are affected by our environment and how we can also be independent of it.

On the face of it, it’s easy to believe that we will generally feel better if we are in a beautiful place, close to nature, away from the noise and pollution of the urban sprawl. And perhaps that is generally the case when we are on vacation, ‘getting away from it all’, when we are not only in a more pleasant environment but are also away from the stress of the workplace. But life’s not that simple, and there’s not necessarily a direct link between the place where we are and how we feel, especially if all is not right in our internal world.

I clearly remember a conversation I had with a European couple a few years ago. They had left their high-stress careers in advertising in a crowded capital city to run a dive centre on a small Indonesian island near Bali, a real paradise of white sand and palm trees.

The Law of Attraction and Meditation

I am currently visiting Cambridge in the UK and last night I
attended a talk on “finding happiness” at the magnificent
St Catherine’s college.

The speaker was a remarkable and very wise 91-year-old
Indian lady, Dadi Janki. She is a leader of Brahma Kumaris
Spiritual University (often known by the name of their
meditation practice, Raja Yoga).

Speaking in Hindi through an interpreter, she covered a lot of
ideas which were in one way or another related to the
Law of Attraction. I’d like to relate one of them.
