The Base Work for Success

After you read this, may be you can ask me whether I’m the best authority to talk about the subject that I’ve chosen – and the answer is may be “NO” and maybe “MAY BE”.
Success is always wanted by human beings; let it be at any level. Definitely I’m not including people who are in the league with our Guruji. And if I see my life, I can see that at every different point of time, success meant something different to me.
I can see one very interesting thing about what I “think” success is – it’s always getting something for me. No exception. And this has become a “rule” of success in my life. Can you also see the same pattern!
In any case, I’m experimenting with few basic principles of success that I’ve come to know. I don’t think it’s easy to stick to those very easily. I think even for Pele it was a hard work first to make sure that the foot ball sticks to his feet. He also practiced and I’m also doing that now.
Let me state what I’ve understood about these principles:

Truth/Dharma/Satya/Integrity: Various names that I know on this, but at the end I think all of these are conveying the same.
If I remember correctly I was most probably something around 14 years and my father told me one thing. He said that everyone looks at life from one’s “base”. And this “base” actually is creating the “sense of life” for every individual.
In those days playing marbles was the best thing in my life. It started from morning 7:30 till I was getting ready for the school. Then I’ll go to school and there also I’ll think about playing marbles. Whom should I play with so that I can win? Once I’m back from the school, I’ll eat something and rush out of our home to find out who’s available in the neighborhood for playing with me. In the evening I’ll come back, put back all the marbles and count what’s the position today. So it was my day and winning marbles was a measure of success.
Then time changed and so is everything, “base” also. Now playing marbles don’t call me. It’s no more a measure of success. At that time the “truth” of life was “winning marble and be happy”. No one could have made be believe that it’s not the source of happiness. And the fact is it was the base from which I was looking at the life and enjoying it. But one thing is sure that if I had not been allowed to play marble at the period of life I would have shattered in life. Now I choose not to play it anymore.
I’m writing all these is to tell is that at different time of life and for different person life is different and that’s the truth for that person at that moment. It may change the next moment, but for that moment that is ultimate truth.
From that truth I take my actions in life to fulfill the goals in life. Once I declare that goal within that realm of truth, I should ensure that the goal is met. The declaration that I only made, I am going to honor that. If I can’t honor what I’ve told then no one is going to honor that and then the success that I’m looking for is never going to happen. If I’m not going to make it happen then who else !
So what matters is that I honor what I say. That’s it.

Networking: Everything that I want to accomplish for achieving the goal for my success is not possible only by me. I require people around me whom I can ask for my support. So any highly successful person is having an extraordinary networking with people. And another aspect is that those people support the successful person is because they can trust on this person. So underlying aspect on networking is relationship where both the parties trust and respect each other.So the relatedness and oneness lies at the heart.

Environment: One very important aspect is the environment is supporting me for reaching my goal. It can be my family members, colleagues, neighbors anyone. It is so critical because the earlier aspect of networking can be fulfilled if the people around me are inspired by the goal that I’m supporting for myself and they can also see their goals getting fulfilled by that.
