There is a Chinese
quote saying that “when Heaven is about
to place a great responsibility on a great man, it always first frustrates his
spirit and will, exhausts his muscles and bones, exposes him to starvation and
poverty”.
And when you actually go
through the big success stories of this century, you realize that if there
always is a women behind any success, the pain, difficulties and frustration
where never far behind.
Now, does it mean that
only people having gone through hard times are meant to succeed and to be happy in life? The
answer is NO, but the fact is that these people undoubtedly have more
capacities to appreciate each single gift of life, and to manage their success and happiness in
a more sustainable way.
Starting small is taking
a guarantee of sustainability in the long run.
In entrepreneurship, experts advise to keep a wide vision, but to start small and to grow
progressively, instead of starting big immediately. And the statistics confirm that
start-ups and Companies starting with a small budget are more likely to stay in
the long run compared to Companies starting with big or medium budgets. The
reason is that starting small requires a constant reorganization and adaptation
to the external constraints, needs and context of the market. Adaptation is flexibility, flexibility is
evolution, and all of these are among the key words and mindsets of business. The fact is that starting big immediately involves huge structures an organization at the
beginning which later are harder to adapt and most of all, the evolution is not
progressive which hence creates a bug somewhere when the external contexts are
changing (I am talking here about starting business or starting people because entrepreneurs
and people who already have strived for years actually have enough experience
and knowledge of life and of the entrepreneurship context to be able to set a
company of the size they wish, even though each experience is different from
another one).
Now, in respect of the
Natural Life Process, what applies to entrepreneurship applies to any other
aspects of life.

The Mechanism of success.
Starting from somewhere, trying something by oneself and going
somewhere.
Now, it is important to
mention that in terms of Success there
neither are standards nor laws. Nevertheless, since success is the result
of a Natural Life Process, it follows a
certain Natural Life Process mechanism. The basis of this mechanism is to
start from somewhere the same way life starts in the Natural Life Process,
which is to say, from a particle,
and to grow the same way the other living being grow in this Natural Life Process, and
this is progressively. You all have
heard about the necessity for butterflies to naturally strive hard to get out
of their cocoons because this labor is necessary to release the liquid from their abdomen and to develop their wings so that they can fly properly. Many stories
relate this little boy who once helped a butterfly to get out of its
chrysalis when seeing how difficult the process was for the butterfly.
The
story shows what science and nature anyway confirm: without this striving effort
from the butterfly, the growing process goes differently. Shortcutting this Natural Life Process in skipping this reauried efforts step, only
led the butterfly to remain heavily on the ground, unable to fly because the
liquid in its abdomen stayed inside it and because its wings hadn’t developed
enough to allow it to fly.
The moral is that, in
respect to the Natural Life Process it belongs to, the success mechanism requires starting from small, striving in order
to develop vital inner capacities, and last, daring to make the first flying
try by oneself.
Starting from somewhere means deciding to move ahead.
Or to move out or away
from something. When listening to the genesis of some of the biggest success
stories of this world, there always is somewhere a very difficult and sticking
situation that seems to have no bottom and no up, like a long endless tunnel.
Big celebrities, writers, actors, entrepreneurs, sportsmen, etc. had in their
majority a very heavy past which seen from the outside, gave the impression that their lives woul lead to nowhere
else but to some dark place where only sinners play. Until this magic sparkle
which often comes through the means of a yelling though which says “Enough of this, I want and do deserve better
from now on!”. Then the darker the bottom, the harder the sound because the
stronger the determination to stop with what then looked like really unbearable.
What happens is that
Life and Universe are made out of energies, particles, vibrations, etc., our
life, thoughts, universe, everything is made out and is a huge energy field, and each one of us is moving in our own
energy fields, each one of our thoughts and feelings are different kinds of
energies. And there is one very powerful triggering factor of energy, it is the
energy of despair, like if all the frustration accumulated
over the years had concentrated so intensively as and when of the pain, tears
and distress, that it finally burst out, creating an amazing source of energy.
This phenomenon is among the most powerful ones in the Universe, after Love,
and its impacts often are seen on a life time period.
The mechanism of
happiness.

Success is related to how you feed your mind and soul and to what you feed them with.

Yet, on the ground, the
truth is different. People living in hard material conditions have more chance
to really appreciate what they have, precisely because they knew what is was
like not to have it. And the same applies to lacking love, health, etc. And I
am a living proof of this assertion. I used to suffer from asthma when I was
younger, and the least change of temperature, too much food, eating some
specific food like mushrooms or just laughing too much on a too long period
were triggering factors of this asthma and I would spent days breathing laboriously
and with my strength reduced to its tenth, unable to provide a normal physical
effort. And I remember that as and when of the release process, every morning
and anytime I could, I clang to thought of being able to breathe normally again
until the day I finally recovered my normal breathing.
And you can’t imagine
how sweet, magic, wonderful and so releasing it is for someone suffering from
asthma to be able to breathe normally after a crisis. Now it is easy
to understand that people suffering from any kind on handicapping disease,
material lack or mental issues, are easier happy than any others, because the
slightest positive change happening in their live suddenly looks like a gift.
Being rich or poor,
happy or in distress at the outset is not necessarily a factor of influence.
Though the upper point
of view could make one believe that rich heirs or people that have grown up all
their life in comfortable and non stressing contexts, neither can’t succeed their
lives nor be happy, this is not necessarily the case.
The cases are ways too
specific to be all painted in with one brush, and as far as success is
concerned, we all have heard about rich heirs going bankrupt because they never
knew the value of money and efforts and thus didn’t develop the inner abilities
and mindset required for success (which is again, made out of efforts,
perseverance, adaptation, mindset evolution, etc.).
But we also have heard
about heirs that have developed their family’s’ business and wealth to its best
because the mindset they grew in shaped
them for success.
Hence, saying that
wealthy, healthy and carefree people can’t succeed or be happy is wrong. And no global observation can be applied as
a generality since each space is specific, each environment, education,
mindset, etc. all are different.
Nevertheless, success is
one thing and happiness is another one. And when you have struggled all your
life for things that you have been lacking sometimes during all your life, when
this energy of despair pushes you to get it, there is nothing, I repeat,
nothing too hard or too impossible that could hinder you from getting it.
And again, happiness is nothing but appreciating the
things you have, the life you live and the person that you are. And appreciation
comes from the discovery of something. It hence is easier for people who never
had anything, to discover news things and thus to appreciate them, than for those
who always had everything they needed (including things they never asked for
and which are given to them without them asking for it or struggling to get it).
And globally, people coming
from the bottom of their lives, looking for ways to get out of it with the belief
that they will get out of it, are more
certainly heading to its top and are more likely to stick to success and to happiness
once they understand the process. Because they began to stick to it at the
moment they saw the slightest piece of this success and happiness from the bottomed
hole they once were in.
And last, like for
entrepreneurship, a comfortable environment at the outset and during a certain
long period, does not necessarily lead to the desire of change (why change a
life that is perfect?). Hence, it doesn’t shape the mind to consider the possibility
of a coming change and thus, it doesn’t teach the mind to the necessity of
adapting to this change.
While it is much easier
for someone who has started small to adapt himself to the changing reality and
context, because considering the possibility of a better life implies accepting
the possibility of a coming change.
Why you symbolically need
to close your old cycles in order to be able to open some news ones.
Considering it from the
Natural Life Process point of view, life is made out of cycles. In this optic,
tears, pain and despair later or sooner have their counterweight of happiness, provided
there is from inside a desire that is strong enough to create enough energy to close
the current cycle and to open a new one. This is why it is definitely is
important to close some cycles, especially the negative ones. A opened cycle
will manifest over and over and over again until someone closes it in order to
allow the opening of a new one.
Closing a cycle is not
this easy but is it not this hard either. It first requires acknowledging that
you are in a cycle, and second to manifest the conscious and unconscious willingness to close it. The fact is that no matter
how hard our conscious part might be looking for change, it requires the
collaboration of the unconscious part which actually is the biggest and most
influencing part of our inner central unit And
because unconscious part is much more complex to reach and to change, symbolic acts are the most rapid and
efficient ways to communicate with it.
In this purpose, symbolically
closing all the negative cycles of our life is necessary. There are a million
symbols you can use to communicate with your unconscious part, but one of
the strongest one consists in 1- symbolically saying bye bye or farewell to a
situation (or to something that might symbolize this situation or person), and
2- in doing “as if” you already were in the new cycle you wish to open.

This is how (consciously
but most of the time unconsciously) most of the success stories that we know
began, from the deepest frustrations and despairs to the fullest well-being and
world usefulness, because there was in between a strong mindset so convincingly
focused on change and on construction that this change and construction finally
became a reality. This is the case of Oprah Winfrey, Mariah Carey, Madonna,
J.IK Rowling, Denzel Washington, Lisah Nichols, Zara founder, KFC founder,….
and the 2/3 of the biggest successful and happy people of this world.
So the good news is that
success and happiness are finally not about being rich or poor at the outset.
It is about how you feed your heart, mind and soul, and most of all, what you
feed them with. ©
