Across the globe, particularly in the United States, success is often equated with wealth, fame, a thriving career, true love, a happy family, home ownership, acquiring desired possessions, or secure retirement. Yet, many who attain these milestones still feel unfulfilled. They start wondering if there is more to life, or if they misunderstood the path to true fulfillment.
True success is better defined by a sense of inner peace. Genuine peace of mind naturally leads to happiness. While no one can be at peace all the time, truly successful individuals have the ability to quickly return to a peaceful state after disturbances, a skill that transcends material possessions and achievements.
The downside of relying on money, fame, careers, and possessions is their temporary nature. Losing them can be painful, and sometimes, even after achieving a long-desired goal, the anticipated satisfaction is missing. However, someone who masters the art of maintaining peace of mind possesses a lasting treasure that cannot be taken away.
Western religions often emphasize the importance of a personal relationship with God, depicted as the embodiment of peace. Jesus Christ advocated for "Peace on Earth to men of good will," while Albert Einstein, one of the greatest minds, believed in a peaceful God. He saw his Theory of Relativity as suggesting an infinite power beyond our physical universe. According to scripture, Jesus maintained a constant state of peace, losing it only once when faced with blasphemy?"a justified reaction.
Eastern philosophies place peace of mind at the forefront. Buddhists may not focus on defining God, valuing peace as a worthy pursuit instead. Yogis teach that to truly understand God, one must embody peace of mind. There's an enlightening tale of a yogi who, after years of meditation, emerged from isolation proclaiming his peace. Challenged by a skeptic, he lost his temper, ironically illustrating that true, undisturbed peace is hard to maintain.
Ultimately, genuine success is found in:
- Relinquishing daily burdens, like driving or chores, to others.
- Cultivating a sense of accessibility and openness.
- Embracing humor and lightheartedness in the journey toward constant peace of mind.
If endless peace eludes you, filling your life with laughter is a pretty good alternative!
