¡Fastest Path To Success!

Road_To_Success.jpg

IT IS awfully clear that there are a ton of self-help gurus out there. And along with them, also a humongous lot of self-proclaimed geniuses coaches of wellness, omniscient all-stars clairvoyants and Know-it-all bluff blusters within the self-help & wellness stardom bizniz scene.
These peculiar characters increasingly reproduce and blooms everywhere. Same like germs taking over a weak cell on a diminishing moribund body. And yes, blooms even quicker than that. The slower ones simply reproduce as fast as worms and leeches every second online.

So, for that same reason, when we are surfing the web we are frequently stumbling upon a nonstop avalanche of never ending advices, tips, hints, tricks, sortileges, magic spells, witches baths, how-to rub lucky charms properly and so on. Everyone and its parrot on their shoulders is walking his/her way online limping with their wood leg and patched eye trying to catch you and hook you with his/her finger-less gaff extremity and charming siren chant to empty your pockets in a wink.

Therefore my Little Red Riding Hood, you've been warned. Never ask to these wolves the proverbial questions. Unless you wanna hear the obvious answer:

¡All the better to eat you up with!

But well, let's go straight to the point right away.

A few days ago, I was reading a good article from my friend @denmarkguy where reach success was the main topic to discuss there. He did a splendid job plowing the ground and sowing the seeds for the flourishing existence of this post here today.
Hence, you now know from where was taken the inspiration to write this post. I shamelessly recommend you to follow to this prolific author if you care to read and learn one or two new important things about yourself everyday.

Soo, ¡Success! ¿Huh? Yes, let's revisit what success is first.
Success is no more no less than a giant mirage to pursuit implanted into your tiny pinhead and stored within your dumb mind at a very early age. The carrot dangled in front of a balky ass nose. Yeah, ¡Think about it deeper! ¿Can you do it?

¡Fine! let's go ahead then. Success is merely a Shorthand Mind State. A highly individualistic and intimate mindset which wears off as soon as it has been reached. Our immature brains are continually overwhelmed with an intense and never ending torrent of alien stimuli always fed and coming, without any doubt, from the exterior and external surroundings of your own authentic inner being. One torrent of mistaken and stir-fry flood of different mixtures of flavors and exotic spicy dishes served by others that you will always have to taste. But above all, you, solely you without any other option, will need to INTERPRET well the spices with your very own limited and poorly educated palate. And all this, without the most minimal chance to bite that damn swinging dangled carrot ever.

¿Are we already on the same page here?

¡Alright! then I suppose it is about time to soap your head with the sour shampoo of my five infallible tips.

"Close your eyes if this burns too much when a drop falls into your eyeballs"

  • 1- Yeah! success. Success is a highly overrated goal in life. Think about it. For many, actually the majority of the entire world-wide population this means simply breathe. Exactly, barely being able to breathe, at least. ¿How many out there are really conscious that they are breathing? ¿Are you counting each inhale/exhale you are doing every second to stay alive? Well, I know about many who have to do it and hold their respiration from time to time just to achieve the same goal as you, simply to stay breathing and keep themselves alive.

  • 2- ¿Are you able to eat, drink, pee and poo? Uhmm, ¿How successful could that be? I suspect there is no need to develop further on this item. ¿Right? I said I will teach you 5 tips in a harsh way. But I bet you wouldn't want to hear the details about with what I could come up to explain this better to you. This would be simply too much. I don't want to scare you too soon and I really intend to keep you reading until the end. So, this time, you'll need to figure out by yourself the successful implications of simply being able to eat, drink, pee and poo according to feel like you've reached some success in life.

  • 3- "Pursuing & Hoarding the immaterial in a material world to reach success" Sounds like sort of a paradox ¿isn't it? But that is exactly what's happening all over around you. There are a couple of sayings out there which illustrate this issue better:
    The first one: "Richer and happier is not who have more but who need less" and the second: "¡Once achieved a minimal threshold is richer & happier who needs the least!"
    These two sayings looks like they are both pointing out at the same thing. But then, they are not if you read and interpret them more closely.
    The core of this third harsh tip is that unless you are absolutely and thoroughly conscious that you are just a tiny finite entity who barely is going to last a mere quantum blink stepping on this planet, plane, dimension or whatever you like to call it. The only Concrete & Material thing which what you reliably could count on, paradoxically is, Your Own Defective Mind to keep you going on. Yeah! think also about that for few seconds.

  • 4- Time doesn't exist like an infinite continuum thing. Time never runs through a straight line anymore, never did. Time can't be perceived like a solid and well interwoven posh carpet laid at your feet to step on and advance across. Time is just an infinite succession of different & highly fragmented instants. Actually, widely dispersed stones laid left & right, to dexter & sinister across the wild flow river of chances. And to which in our way ahead we all must be very careful where to put a foot on, our bare feet on, to reach the next one without slide off if we wish keep going farther till reach steady dry ground wherever the hell it could possibly be.

Look at this like the sound of a siren alarm. We, limited beings, are enclosed into an extremely narrow thin box of perception as to be able to understand and digest time like the actual phenomenon that this really is. In the case of the sound of a siren alarm, we all perceive this acoustic signal like a continuous sound without interruptions. But it is not, it is conformed by a sequence of well separated air disturbances happening so fast each one after the other in an obviously different level of time dimension intervals, which we are unable to notice the existent gaps between them. And yet, we always will be willing to swear there are no gaps, holes or voids in the sound field. This unfortunately happens the same with every other fields of the physics for which if we just insist to scan, explore, dissect and deconstruct them for scrutiny only using the very limited instruments of our humanely 5 senses... yeah! we are more lost than Lindbergh Son and screwed beyond doubts. So, go outside now and purchase right away a High-fps-speed camera with a good kit of percussive laser lighting equipment and you will know better what I'm talking about here.

  • 5- The last one. ¡Nothing Is Eternal! there is simply nothing that last for ever. Simple as that. Just tattoo that idea on your little head. You will never be totally content and happy with any goal you reach in your entire life. While you live within our current civilization in a crowded enough society following their rules, the system, the powers that be and the authorities around you, watching so closely your everlasting nonconformist life, they invariably will take charge in the assurance to keep you always thirsty & hungry in the endless quest to reach new achievements with which you naively will think you have crowned some kind of ephemeral success at a given moment. Yeah! actually a very short and soon to vanish instant of auto perceived success until the next one. Because as soon as you've reached that little chunk of success, The Thrill Is Gone. You will be promptly and automatically bombarded once again with a new endless flow of deceiving targets to look at, to aim at and throw your darts of hopes all over again. To keep you always busy and distracted with the continual illusion to eventually hit the mere center of that mirage of dartboard of The Ultimate Success. Only to discover that you've been manipulated again to keep you feeling like if you are really scaling up towards the highest pinnacle of that unreachable zenith of accomplishment, fulfillment, happiness and success. To which in fact, you will never arrive. And in this way, The Masters Up There, The Fat Fishes, The Filthy Winners at the very top of the food pyramid and The Real Perpetrators Of The Fake Illusion Of Success. They of course, they surely will be smiling and patting each other backs & shoulders in the know that they positively have done a good job indeed. They there, they sitting down at the Gates of Success. Like goalkeeper watchdogs and vigilant cerberus jealously guarding the very entrance where you will never be allowed or invited to trespass.

Having been this the last tip & advice: Enjoy the ride mate, enjoy the Ups and Downs on this roller-coaster of life in the present and in the now. Forget about being able to find balance or to stay for ever in any of the two possible phases, poles or extreme tips of the game. Way Up On Top or Way Down In The Bottom. That impression only resides and always will live only in your own mind. Because.....

¡Success Is Simply The Absence Of It!

Then, ¡You tell me buddy!

¿Where should we look at to find the right place to nail & hoist our flag of conquering success now?
