There are many ways put forward in society as to how to be successful in one’s life endeavors. Although it may not be the most talked about method, perhaps the most powerful and effective method is the heart-centered approach to life. The literal heart is an incredibly powerful and energetic generator of feelings, as the latest scientific studies involving the heart are showing. A change of heart truly does change everything. For success to be possible, one has to have a healthy relationship with their Self. The ego’s influence should be minimized to where self-centered behavior is superseded by the loving behavior of selflessness. The first step forward towards success requires only one thing…courage.
Courage is a level of consciousness where exploration, accomplishment, and determination are all able to be experienced by an individual. When we are locked into lower levels of consciousness such as apathy or fear, the world is seemingly hopeless, sad, frightening and frustrating. Once a person transcends to the level of courage, life is seen as exciting, challenging, and stimulating. By experiencing courage in our lives, we suddenly have the willingness to try out new things and deal with the changes and challenges of life. Facing fears and character defects is now possible. By being courageous, we are able to identify our fears. We are also able to identify repressed emotions. After identifying them, we are able to express them, which creates a state of psychological healing that is very beneficial to our continuous self-growth.
Attaining this level of courage requires that there be in existence a healthy relationship with the Self. Without such a relationship, we will be unable to identify our fears because there is no true communication with oneself concerning our true feelings about things, such as what we are afraid of. Meditate and go inward to discover the answers you seek about your Self and with enough perseverance, you will discover them and be able to transform your life in a most positive way.
Success comes with leaving fear behind. Transcend fear and replace it with love and compassion. The fear experienced about the negative “what-ifs” will otherwise come to be manifested as an actual reality by way of a self-fulfilling prophecy. Our thoughts shape and create our reality and so this should come as no surprise. Have compassion for yourself first and then extend this compassion to others because you can not give what you do not have.
A critical factor in being successful in our life goals is the dropping of any feeling that you have to get someone else’s approval for something that you do. You will stop seeking approval when you stop fearing disapproval. You will stop fearing disapproval the moment you stop disapproving of yourself. This requires you to stop judging yourself because of your imperfections. Nobody is perfect and such a mentality can do very little towards any sort of positive self-growth. If we stop worrying about what another person’s subjective opinion of us is, we will be able to set ourselves free of the self-imposed shackles that have kept us from fulfilling our full potential. You care about what others think of you because you fear that you will be judged by them. The solution to this fear of being judged is to stop judging yourself. When you are affected by the opinions that others have about you, the thought-pattern that you are creating is one that says, “your opinion of me is of greater value than my opinion about myself.” It should be clear as to how this can be a debilitating thought-pattern.
The higher the attractor field, the greater the attraction. People who seem to emanate a higher energy level such as one of joy will act as attractor fields for others who are not calibrating at such high levels. Perhaps more importantly, the old adage of “like attracts like” will is seen as being very real and is the simple formula for success. By way of the law of attraction, if you project positivity, positivity will find its way back to you. Success becomes the result.
There are two basic emotions and states of consciousness that drive all that we do: fear and love. All anger must be filtered through the heart and transformed into compassion. Understanding that seemingly-negative feelings people express are fear-based is one way to develop compassion and understanding. Remember that love conquers all. Love can overpower and transform fear. Light can conquer darkness. By making the consciousness shift from fear to love, you will be able to experience much greater success in your life, especially if you’re looking for an honest, secret-free, sincere, heart-based life experience. Remember that nothing is able to push away real genuine love that is heart-centered.
The key to success lies in having a heart-centered life experience. In all that we do, love should be the guiding stream of consciousness, not fear. We should avoid projecting negative energy by way of our thoughts and emotions because this will hinder our self-growth and shifting of consciousness. Of course, it is not a simple undertaking but in order to have a life filled with success and great interpersonal relationships, a heart-centered approach should be taken. Given the reality of oneness and interconnectedness, not only do we benefit, but also those to whom we are expressing our heart-centered feelings towards. Live love and enjoy the wonderful rewards such a life experience has to offer.
