Oh! Come on, You are Success!

By Jerin Jacob (Author of Your Epic Year)

Success! it is one of the topic, written about and read about millions of times from the day man got the ability to comb their hair properly. Many books, articles, training materials and courses are being introduced by some beautiful people, of course they have become extremely successful selling them. Its like showing a plastic cake and taking orders and then using the same money to buy a real cake for himself.

But what is success? Even after this much information overload, everyone has their on philosophy around success. Interestingly many still become 'successful' without reading to, without listening to any 'blah, blah' stuffs.

My intention here is to help you take off your black glared sun glass you are wearing to see success. So that you can enjoy a brand new sunny day.

Okay, many say success is relative and is dependent to individual to individual. I did think that way, till the time I hear 'The Strangest Secret' by Earl Nightingale. He explains, those who have a goal to pursue for, is successful. That is, the journey towards so called 'success' itself is success. To put it in simple terms, as you have a goal to complete reading this article, and you are working towards it by keep reading. Hence you are success right now.

Then who is failure, I know one of your friend or foe is sleeping right now because of laziness and has no goal to achieve. This guy is a failure (unless his dream is, sleep like morons). Using the earlier 'reading this article' metaphor, even if that guy sees this link on his Facebook News-feed, he won't bother to click and read this. That means anyone who doesn't have any specific goal (not necessary a bigger one) to achieve, is a failure.

"So Jerin, are you saying, I am already successful and there is no need to achieve my dreams". 

Not really, rather you should understand that your aim is not to become successful but to enjoy the journey towards your dreams. Not like whining, "He is success, I am not", "He has done it in his younger age, I am aged, so I won't never be successful".

But if you can live with a perspective of 'being-successful-already', your life will be more of fun and happy. You must have seen, all those lazy unproductive people, enjoy life more than you, they chill out and have fun. Because they just don't care and may say "whataaaever!". At the same time you have the greatest of vision and dream, but you just 'wait' till the day you become 'success'. Why?

You take any so called 'successful' people out there, you can see they have come a long way to live in abundance and in popularity. But the reality is, even if there were struggles in their life, they all did enjoy their journey. To be 'successful', you have to feel success right now. Not like, when you have everything you will.

At the end of the day, life is meant to live happily at every second of your life time. So treat yourself as if you are already a 'successful' person and chill out. By the way you are reading the last sentence of the article, if you had not enjoyed reading this, you wouldn't have reached here. Have fun.

“Success is not a destination, it's a journey”

Hope this concept has helped you. By the way do you know someone who really needs this to be read? If so, go ahead and share this article with that person. Sharing is caring.

Stop worrying and start living!

Worry is the prayer to attract what we don't want. When we were born and was a child we weren't worrying about anything. We simply knew and loved to smile, sometimes we might have cried, it was not because of worry but to sell our need for milk or food.


But as we grown up, we started leaning the lessons of being worried. If you look back to your life you must be realizing whenever you were tensed and worried about something that must have become even worst. On the other hand when you were detached from the worrisome situations and you were simply enjoying other things, then suddenly and miraculously things became very positive and worth. That means being worried never deliver anything good to us, then why should we waste our precious time spending so. Life is easy and simple, that is how we should live life. When we feel love towards even to our challenges that will create a huge positive shift in our results.


Past is over, the people or things from the past cannot haunt you unless you allow it consciously. Same for the future, don't give too much importance to the future outcomes. Only you have control in the now, only you can make choices in the now neither in past nor in future. So be in the now, stop worrying and enjoy every bit of this miraculous life we have.

If you still feel that I can't manage that person or I can't stop worrying about this particular situation and so on, simple solution for this is, write it down or share your grief to someone you love. It will shift your consciousness and make you feel better, When you share do remember you are releasing your worries not adding to it, make the writing/sharing crisp and let go.


Go great!

Action or Result Which is Important?

Many of us know the fact that, simply visualizing about our dream car will not bring us a brand new car. Day dreaming about our future, will neither bring us anything into our life. But the interesting fact is, this may let us do some inspired actions towards achieving them.

Unfortunately many of us never even try to do the action part, they will continue day dreaming and never achieve any of their personal or professional goals. But some others do start the action part but they may be too much focused on the result or the benefits from their actions. These people become nervous and overwhelmed by giving too much importance to the future results. 

If we are completely focusing on the results like professional fame, rewards, appreciation and successful completion of projects etc. Then we will definitely end up in a big failure. Our job as a professional, is to completely dedicate ourselves to the actions in the now and not to worry about the result in the future. 

As per the Indian holy book, Bhagavat Gita "You have a right to perform your prescribed action, but you are not entitled to the fruits of your action. Never consider yourself the cause of the results your activities, and never be associated to not doing your duty".

That means we are here to do the actions or the Karma, the fruits of our actions will be delivered unto us in many folds than we expected without our intervention. Yes, creative visualization on our personal and professional goals is the first step. The next step which is the most important step that is taking the inspired actions with an undivided attention.

The following actions exemplify the earlier quote jotted from Bhagavat Gita:

Do our best work without the attachment to the rewards. Dedicating ourselves in learning new technologies and skill-set without the attachment to the corporate hierarchy. Delivering an extraordinary presentation without the attachment for an appreciation. Helping co-beings without the attachment to their gratefulness in return.

Our privilege is to take the right actions. The fruit of our action or the Karma-phala is up-to the ultimate creative power, and it is his will to respond. If we are focusing on the results in the future we will never be able to do our best work in the present. So lets keep our trust in the ultimate creative power (or the God or Bhramman or the universe whatever you wish to call) and dedicate ourselves in our actions; then it is sure that the universe will deliver miraculous results for our efforts sooner or later.

To unleash our full potential and to do exceptional work:

1. Focus and dedicate on our actions in the Now

2. Be detached from the results in the Future

Lets keep focusing on Now :)
