Of Success and Bearing the Unimaginable

The wise and the old are always quick enough to question the very foundations of our life and resort to pointing out the emptiness of our existence, but what good advice could come from constant criticism of undermining nature?

 

What I wanted to convey with that opening paragraph, essentially, is that I am not here to talk about things you might have heard a thousand times before; about how 'you have been doing it wrong this whole time' or 'you are insufficiently equipped to deal with that problem' and things that are, in an ironic manner, not even real advice. 

Never mistake assessment with advice, nor realistic skepticism with guidance. These skeptic remarks that are often mistaken for advice find a comfortable corner of the thought and through the passage of time become demons of the mind. 

 

In my experience, finding success is hardly ever about the rules that govern the natural world and human society, but the principles of the mind and the inner viewpoint that defines 'success' for us. 

Whatever the scale of your predisposed thought on 'success', the most underlying dictation of life in the journey to achieve what you desperately desire is the readiness and the willingness to bear the unimaginable. 

Every moment of every day, and every step of every road, is in itself a challenge that will require tremendous effort to pass through. Indeed, it is in the bearing of the unimaginable that the human mind finds peace and success.
