Success as true transcendence of your spirit. Learn to identify false prophets of happiness.

Today I would like to talk about the so-called " success " in society. There are those who say that at birth, people are a " flat tadula ." This means that we are like a blank sheet in which the experiences that the world puts ahead will be recorded. Some believe that the genetic factors of inheritance have a much more decisive weight in the life of a human being. No matter which of the positions is correct (personally I think it is a particular combination of both).

The truth is that each of us is, in the widest sense, unique.

I can't help thinking about this every time I go out and I have to face lots of recalcitrant publicity about success . All of it apparently cut with the same mold. It is as if the path to happiness is one for all and is clear as water.

To be successful - according to false prophets of success. One must get a good job in a great corporate. It doesn't really matter what one does in there. The goal is to earn enough to have a large house and a luxury car. Of course, you have to go to the fashionable coffee chain before arriving at work, for an organic double latte express that costs what twenty. Spend the day smiling among colleagues equally happy, successful and dressed in elegant costumes. Look at the time on a thousand pesetas clock and notice that we are running late for the gym. Because of course, you have to be fitness.

After a successful hour of perfect routine, and several repetitions of mirror and egolatry, one goes home. But not before making a stopover in the super market where successful people buy. Where we will choose one of the thirty milk options. The one that best suits our successful lifestyle. With extra calcium, fiber and lactose free. We will pay a lot of money for it in the boxes and finish off with the good action of the day: round pennies for children with cancer.

Already at home, an aesthetically viable woman, of pneumatic and Caucasian proportions, awaits us with a set of fine lingerie and a few drops of the sweetest perfume. He watches us arrive and his eyes shine with lust.

The day, to be successful, MUST end with a perfect and artificial sex scene. In our ultra modern hydraulic spring mattress. It seems like a bad joke!

This fairy tale, however, has two small flaws. Reaching the purchasing level of success is virtually impossible for more than 1% of people worldwide. They are basic mathematics. Now, let's imagine that we are one of the lucky s who can afford this lifestyle. The other flaw is that happiness as a result of economic and aesthetic success is one of the biggest lies that humanity has told itself.

The standard model of success we see in advertising is not designed to help anyone achieve happiness. It is designed to keep a huge constant need for people to continue spending money on absurdly useless things. Like a river that the more you drink, the more thirst it causes.

We urgently need to stop for a second to reflect. Reflect deeply and consciously on our souls.

Not about our bank account or our appearance. We are putting so much interest in how we don't see each other and in what we don't have, that our whole and perfect inner being seems to matter no more.

That inner being, that very personal aura that defines us, is who we really are. What this being full of light craves is our true path to happiness and spiritual fulfillment. This being is spiritually as worthy as that of a supermodel, a missionary in Africa or a wanderer. However, their needs are unique and your mission in life is to discover them . How are we going to listen to the beautiful - but subtle - guide of our interior, if we are so focused on the thunderous and arbitrary designs of the owners of the economy?
