𝐈𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬?

Last week, I had the privilege of speaking at a psychology conference organized by the Eesti Koolitus- ja Konverentsikeskus. I shared my thoughts on success and unlocking one’s potential.

Inspired by Deepak Chopra’s approach, I shared my belief that success can be divided into two categories: 𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧-𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 and 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘯 𝘦𝘹𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘴.

While seeking external recognition and feedback can be valuable, relying solely on it can lead to uncertainty and constant striving. In contrast, self-reliance involves seeking inner strength and spiritual support, leading to a more natural and effortless flow in our lives.

At the conference, I also shared three steps to achieve self-reliant success:
1. 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 and stillness. In silence, we can find inner peace and strength. Simple way to do it: never use radio or music while driving.
2. 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. Meditation allows us to connect with our inner power and discover our true potential.
3. 𝐀𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐦: It’s important to learn how not to let others’ opinions affect our inner strength. Trusting our own journey and continuing to move towards our goals.

So, how do you approach achieving success? Do you rely more on your inner strength or wait for external factors? How you define success?

Some years ago I defined success for me like this: 𝘚𝘶𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘐 𝘢𝘭𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘮𝘺 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦.
