Are You Wired For Success

Once a very rich man said, "If you take all the money in this world and divide it equally amongst everyone, it will reach the same pockets as it was before". Why? Because, these people are wired for success.

Even if you win a billion dollars but you do not have a billionaire mindset, you will soon loose all that money.

So, the most important question we need to ask ourselves to achieve success in any field be it professional, personal, relationship or spiritual is "Do I have the right attitudes, beliefs or mindset for success?"

Mindsets and attitudes can be compared to blueprints. We cannot have a reality whose blueprint we don't have. They can also be compared to a container. To hold the content of success we are aspiring for, we need to be sure we have the right container for holding it. If the container is faulty, there might be leakages of our success.

Few relevant and thought-provoking quotes -

To change one's reality, first one must change one's mentality.

The external is only a reflection of the internal.

To get more than you have - become more than you are.

It is not one's aptitude but one's attitude that determines one's altitude in life.

In my observation, the most successful people, even most successful spiritualists have solid mindsets and attitudes. Otherwise, how is that two people who are exposed to the same environment, one advances much ahead of the other. Generally when we see successful people we tend to study what they did to get where they are but we miss to study, what were their attitudes and mindsets that got them there.

No wonder that Srila Prabhupada, Founder-acharya of ISKCON mentions in his book 'Nectar of Instructions' a striking statement, which I feel is very deep and extremely important. He writes - "Ones advancement in Krishna Consciousness depends on the attitude of the follower".

So, what is most important is to take responsibility to shape our attitudes, beliefs and mindsets - to do the internal work out, to get ourselves in shape to handle success. No one can do this for us. We need to do the hard work. But I guarantee you, as soon as you start the process of doing this internal work, you will see amazing results. Just the process of internal development is exhilarating.

Once you rewire yourself for success, you need not run after success, success will helplessly be attracted to you. It has no choice.
