Hello Steemit... Selamat sore, good afternoon all.
In various versions, you have certainly heard this classic story:
"Someone left his house to go wander in search of treasure. With a journey full of struggle, challenges and obstacles, finally what he found was the fact, that the treasure he was looking for had been buried in his own house!".
The version of the story is very beautiful and inspirational, of course you have read in Paulo Coelho's "the Alchemist" novel. But other versions of this story even exist in the collection of "Mathnawi" poems by Jalaludin Rumi.
The stories seemed to be a universal message that wanted to convey a secret to us:
"that what we have been looking for is already in us."
So far most of us have defined success as the achievement of things that are actually the result of success, not success itself. For example, we will only succeed if we already have a certain amount of money, have certain items, or are in certain conditions. Then you start looking for success out there. Begin your journey to find your treasure. Afternoon is night, night is afternoon, you are busy here and there, but how come you feel you have not "succeeded". It's so busy that you search in your outside world, until you forget that maybe what you're looking for is already inside you.
If you define success as ownership of things or situations that surround you, then the attitude that Deepak Chopra in "Seven Spiritual Laws of Success" referred to as "object-referral" will actually shackle you with the need for recognition, the need to master, the need to control, etc., all of which will lead to fear. Fear of loss, fear of not being recognized, fear of not having, and various other fears that all originate in objects outside of you. Though objects outside of yourself are all false. Today is there, tomorrow can not disappear. Today can be so special, tomorrow has no meaning. You will be frustrated if you pursue something false like that.
So where do you start your success? Everything is in you. Your true self is success itself.
Master your mind, master your destiny, if you say Adam Khoo, success is mindset, said Jennie S. Bev, change your thinking, change your life, said Brian Tracy, changing what's going on inside your mind, said Bob Proctor. All successful teachers call for the same thing. Start within yourself. If success is already in you, it means you don't have to look for success, or try to succeed. You can "become" successful, "be success" right now.
But the success that is in you is like a treasure that is tightly closed in your mind box. While you are busy looking for treasures out there. It is hidden like a "hidden treasure" waiting faithfully. Waiting for you to wake up immediately and unlock your success. When your thoughts and feelings state that you are "successful". Then you have turned the key to unlocking your success. And be successful.
Enough to get there? Certainly not. At any time, if you are not careful, then you will again imprison your success in the treasure chest.
At least, there are four things that you must take care of so that you always bring success with you.
First is mind.
Keep your mind as successful people think. Successful people always think about opportunities, opportunities and hopes. The person who is successful in his mind is filled with future optimism. Successful people always take the time to think about their plans in the future, visualizing what they want to realize in the future. Successful people's minds are continuously filled with new knowledge to improve their quality. Successful people never fill their minds with things beyond their control, such as events that took place in the past, events that are not related to themselves such as gossip, the lives of others, etc.
The second, is feeling.
The feeling of a successful person is filled with gratitude for what he has received and what he will receive. Yes, even he has been grateful for what he will receive. Because his feelings are filled with confidence, that what he is trying is destined for him, and he is grateful for that. His feelings are also far from hatred and prejudice. He was never jealous of the success of others, knowing that he was also successful. His heart was filled with love, because he knew that what he was doing was a manifestation of love. His love for his Rabb, and for the people he loves.
The third is words.
Starting now speaking like a successful person. Learn how successful people talk, and do the same thing. Successful people will never say pessimistic words. What came out of his mouth was encouragement and encouraging words. Successful people will not issue words that humble themselves or others. Successful people always use positive and encouraging sentences, both for themselves or others.
Then the last is action.
Through action, successful people experience success. What kind of actions do successful people do? They will always take action once there is an opportunity. They actively welcome the fortune that has become his. They enjoy every action as an expression of success. They share with others, they help hand in need. They are aware that each of their actions is a manifestation of success.
With these four things, God willing, your success in you will manifest in things outside yourself. You will draw into your life every event, situation, person, thing, which is the fruit of your success. And when that happens, successful people will remain calm and continue to carry out the four things above. Because successful people have reached the stage of "not being sad about what is free from your hands, and not proud of what God gives you".
Thank you.
