Today I want to talk about how to allow success into your life instead of chasing it. All over the world there are millions of people who believe, either consciously or on a deeper subconscious level, that the Creative Force (or Universe, or God) is their opponent in life. They have a ‘me against the world’ mentality and feel that they need to fight in order to succeed, prosper and achieve happiness.
This is nonsense. Success, prosperity and happiness are natural states of being and are actually what the Creative Force wants you to experience whilst here on earth. Far from ‘opposing’ your efforts, the universe is just as keen for you to succeed as you are – if not even more so!
Examine the natural order of the universe and you will find that success, prosperity and achievement are taking place naturally all the time. When we think of nature, we think of growth, abundance, reproduction, beauty, peace and all the other good things that we too want to enjoy. This desire to become successful, prosperous and happy is therefore completely natural, and in no way opposes the Creative Force.
So why is it that so many people strive to succeed, prosper and gain happiness, only to fail? The answer lies in the question. People strive for success, when what they really need to do is allow success to happen. They chase success instead of learning to allow it to flow freely into their lives.
In nature, which offers a perfect illustration of the Creative Force in motion, plants and trees do not strive and struggle in order to grow. They simply bask in the light of the sun, feed from the nutrients of the soil, and experience growth as a natural result. In a similar way, all we need to do in order to enjoy the most wonderful life is stop struggling and striving. Instead, we need to concentrate on basking in the light of the Creative Force and feeding from the power which is right there within us.
In other words, the way to succeed in material ways is to stop focusing on them so much and instead put spiritual matters first. Almost all scriptures present this eternal truth in one way or another. For example, in the New testament, Jesus says, ‘Seek first the kingdom [spiritual growth] and all of these things [material benefits] will be given to you.’
Why is it so important to put the spiritual first in your life in order to achieve success, prosperity and happiness? Well, you must remember that success, prosperity and happiness are creations of the Creative Force that permeates all things. By devoting yourself to the Creative Force, you are going directly to the source of all that is. Rather than spending your life chasing ‘effects’ you instead spend time with the great ‘cause’ and as a result the ‘effects’ will show up in your life quite naturally.
There is another reason for putting the Creative Force first, however, and that is because it is only the eternal aspect of your being which is truly important. You can make a great deal of money and achieve a great deal of material success, but if you have not developed your spiritual self then all of this is worthless. You will merely die a rich, but spiritually impoverished, man or woman.
If, on the other hand, you make your spiritual development the focus of your life, you will be dedicating yourself to something which transcends physical death. In other words, you will be doing something which you can take with you when you die. And along the way, you will also get to enjoy the fruits of a spiritual life – the success, prosperity and happiness which so many people seek for their own sake.
The points to remember for today are therefore as follows: The universe is on your side! The Creative Force wants you to be successful, prosperous, healthy and happy! The way to enjoy these things is not to chase them for their own sake, but allow them to manifest in your life as you focus primarily on developing your spiritual nature.
