What is Success?…
How do you see success?
Do you see it through the patriarchal aspect of money and physical achievements?
Or is it more of an inner achievement?

After browsing on social media, this question came to me... That possibly what a lot of us see as success, is actually quite superficial. It’s the programming that creates this false perception; it’s the matrix system and the patriarchy that created this perception of success.
If you have what is perceived as a “nice house” or a “nice car” or what many see as a “successful” job or business, then you have achieved success?… but have you?…
Or is that just surface-level… is it meaningful or meaningless?
Does it leave you feeling less of a person because you don’t have this or haven’t achieved it?
How is your internal dialogue?
When you look up to others false identities on social media, do you crave to have what they have?
Do you only see success as money, and or popularity?
Does this mindset make you feel envious and like you have failed?
These are questions we need to ask ourselves. With social media pushing across a false sense of identity, if can leave us feeling like we are failing. WE ARE NOT. Trust me… we are flourishing when we can tune into the earth and know what is right and true for us.

I’m getting to a point in my life where these aspects of society don’t drive me forward anymore. They don’t inspire me to achieve, because what I want is peace and simplicity.
When I see someone in a place of full peaceful surrender, with so much love and compassion in their hearts, that’s what I aspire to. That is what I see as success.
They could live in a tent in a field and ride a battered old car, but their peace is what I desire and what drives my inner work. Their freedom to enjoy life and be full of love in this harsh world… that, to me, is success.

What do you determine as success?
Nothing is right or wrong… it’s just filtered through different perspective lenses.

The world is shifting and we are too… are we moving with the shift or are we resisting and keeping ourselves back with the old system?

Just a gentle note - I am not saying that achieving these things makes you a bad person. We all have different needs. I’m simply inviting you to reflect on what truly feels important to you and gently explore what is guiding or driving you in life.
