Success

Success and feeling that you are on the right path for achieving it are crucial to becoming calmer and more grounded. Going from despair and anxiety straight into calm is extremely difficult to do.  The confidence one earns through achievement makes calm more achievable.

Fortunately our success does not come in the eyes of others. Self mastery occurs when we are not slaves to our emotions. The ability to act even when one does not want to is key for self mastery. This is not to say we should bully ourselves. Acting with kindness in mind is essential. 

Do not worry about depression or anxiety. Do the work. Calming practice, caring for yourself, moving toward what scares you all add up to success. Acting in this way connects us to our deepest selves. We find that success is not in what you do. Like the beauty of a blooming sunflower, you just have to be you.

Let’s focus on the energy we put out and not the actions of any other person or people. Especially not those we love. Not even ourselves. Even focusing on our emotions as outcomes is an easy way to get lost. If we keep our vision on the energy we put out, the world will take care of itself.
