Right now

Posted on by philipdodson

Life goes by in a blink.

We think it’s too late…it’s all lost.

It’s never too late.

The moment is always now.

We can only ever experience anything now.

Everything that was ever experienced by anyone ever was always now and it always happened because that person took the first step now.

Whatever thing you think about whether inventing fire, the wheel, going to space, curing a disease, making amazing art, writing a book, creating a song…it all was done in the now and it all started with one tiny step by a person who was willing to take a risk, step up and be counted.

We can all start the next experience, it’s never too late, but we can only do it now, not tomorrow.

Whatever you can dream or feel in your soul, you can take the first step towards that right now.

How to build success

Posted on by philipdodson

Yep…there’s a few things written about that.

However, what is mostly missing from those books, podcasts and blogs is one thing.

Success is not a generic thing that is measured by societal status and wealth.

If that’s the measure of success then we are all going to be disappointed in our lack of success, as there will always be someone with greater wealth and status.

It’s a bit like perfection, totally unreachable which leads to suffering.

Success comes from the inside instead of the normal ego-driven exterior measurement.

Success is uniquely personal to us and it is achieved by reaching a state of acceptance of what is and peace with it. It is the state of just being. That brings deep rooted inner joy, not the fleeting emotion of happiness that comes with external success of status.

Status is, like all things in the exterior world of form, a temporary state. One that like our own ego is very fragile, easily broken and a source of drama and suffering.

True inner peace, the state of being conscious and present in this now moment and in a state of acceptance is true success.

Our primary purpose is to be. Just be and to be the consciousness of the universe.

It’s not easy to just be as we are consumed by our conditioning to constantly be striving for status success in the exterior unconscious mind-obsessed state that we see as ‘normal’ life.

Inner peace is success.
