Keys to successful living

Keys to successful living

Part 1

Everyone wants to be successful in life, but where are keys to success? Do we have to go out and search for those keys, or do we have those potentials already within ourselves? When we begin  to examin life, we can see that it is divide in two aspects--- life within andf life without; internal life and external life- and we can see that these are the aspects are of equal importance. Even if we have renounced the world, gone far away from civilization, and we live in the wildrness doing nothing but, meditation, we cannot ignore external life. We still have to see that we eat, do our ablutions, and perform our practice on time. S o life in the external world is as important as life in the internal world.

Even one who has renounced the world has to understand the world relationship properly, because life itself is actually relationship. The body is related to the breath, and the breath is related to the mind. The body, breath, senses, and mind all function together as a unit. So life virtually means relationship, and thus the art of living and being requires an understanding of one’s relationship to the external world and the relationship within oneself.

All human beings have inner potentials, but many people are not aware of those potentials and do not know how to use them to have a successful life.
