The five levels of success

[srikant]

Level 1- Thinking & Planning .This is the first level and while this is not necessarily bad ,but most people are stuck here for the rest of their lives not realizing that this is just the beginning,the mind can be used as a stepping stone to action and not vice versa.The body should not go on following the orders of the mind.Too much thinking and never acting dullls the mind and as we procrastinate further and further our energy and courage go on decreasing and decreasing.If you have to decide,then decide now because tomorrow also you have to decide ,so in this context postponement is simply stupid.


Another way of saying the above is " Do not think, just do it".

Level 2- Attempting and making mistakes( plenty of them ).The men who realize the necessity of acting herenow reach the second level and taking action becomes their prime necessity.You can see determination, a resolve,high energy an inconquerable urge to act and set things straight.These people throw themselves into new territories, plunge into unknown waters and explore everything there is to humanly possbly exploring. This stage is marked by a state of detachment from the results cuz the mind is now focused on the work at hand.And also these people are not afraid of making mistakes.They are like the scientists,experimenting with various tools and techniques and making inferences and conclusions

To quote the second level " The person who makes mistakes is far better than the person who never tries"

Level 3- High in clarity and confidence and thus the ability to choose correctly. Hmm interesting ,most people would say first choose then go ahead with your goal.But that is not always possible.Human beings have unlimited potential and this is the major cause of frustration in a man;s life .He doesn't know what to do,where to go,as such he falls prey to other people's wishes or circumstances and his whole life is wasted.But once he has explored various paths in life,something becomes clear.At least a little clarity arises ,He can now decide that this thing is for him or not.If his perspective is clear,then he can commit,now this is certain.Once you know that you are enjoying something to your highest capacity, the course becomes clear.In this stage the opposite is also beneficial.Even if the person has not found his passion,he can now say that this particular thing is not for him.A definite clarity arises in his eyes.Only in this stage you can choose,now you can say yes or no and that will be a total yes or a total no,but it will always be total.But this stage will come only after a man is finished with level 2 and explring all possible dimensions.

One can say that" It is just plain wonderful to rediscover yourself"

Level 4- A decisiveness and a definite direction. Once a person has recognized that this is the particular thing he wants and he is ready to commit cuz he has discovered his life energy by experimenting,now he can be total.Now whichever path he takes,his heart will be in it.The qualities that he develops now will continue beyond his grave.Now his life has a meaning cuz he has found something eternal.He has dropped the world of accidental and has aligned himself with what Stephen covey says "True north".Now he is not another mediocre person,he has become master of himself and his life.Now he won't blame others for his condition cuz now he is too busy creating a life of meaning for himself.Now his life has a decisiveness and a definite direction.

As osho says" Do not be too much concerned with the temporary.Look for qualities which you will take beyond your grave and always remember whatever you want to be,the first step is the same as the last step"

Level 5- Grace, grandeur and effortlessness.Now the man who has reached the peak of his abilities, he loses consciousness of his social identity and becomes what we call a "genius".A genius is one who doesn't know that he is a genius.Now his life is marked by a sublime grace.Every action of his is now creative.He has become a creator.His whole life becomes what we call an inside out approach.And because he is now full of grace,whatever he creates is now beautiful cuz now it is coming out of some divine source inside himself.He relaxes and lets the universal creative force take over.If an ordinary person now sees this person,he will become jealous,what beauty what splendour what bliss surrounds him.Now he is enjoying every moment of his life to the fullest.Now he has achieved true success.His success is his infinite joy and his ability to extract maximum juice from life

"In creativity is happiness"
"A person at the peak becomes really humble"


These perhaps may be considered to be the five levels of sucess or broadly life.Remeber one can not skip a stage,otherwise he will fall into the same rut again.Yours life is yours to live and only you can choose your destiny.
