I’m an avid believer and follower of the secret. I genuinely believe the universe responds to energy. I get carried away most times and forget to read my affirmations but I recently automated it and have notification sent to my phone that forces me to read and make those affirmations at different intervals during my day. Recently, I have been getting prompts that actually requires me to use some brain power and think about the messages, the one that got me thinking was “what would you do if success were guaranteed“ I was curious to see how other people answered the question but none of the answers resonated with me.
I’ve always measured success in terms of growth, If I set myself some realistic goals and I’m able to achieve them, that’s success for me. If success were guaranteed I would still live my life adding value in whatever situation I find myself be it at the work place or in my social circle. I will still do the same job maybe with a flexibility of working from any part of the world. A dream of mine is having the freedom of working from any part of the world while contributing to the world positively. I don’t believe that short holidays are enough to learn about a place and the culture.
The other question that came up was “imagine you have all the money you need, what would you do differently”? Again, this was a difficult question for me to answer, not because I don’t have wants that requires money to solve but because I’ve reached a place of content (not to be mistaken for complacency) and gratefulness. I thought about it so hard then I checked how other people answered it and i quickly realised I would randomly solve the needs of many people under that thread.
