Is Success Taking Your Eyes Off Your Purpose?

by peeplaja

You look at your bank account and a tired smile creeps to your
lips. The amount used to be small but now it has grown so big.
Your smiles and your eyes grow tired in trying to count how much
you have. Your office has become your own kingdom where people
defer to you and give you the respect you deserve. You deserve
it, don't you? You have worked so hard in achieving what you now
have.

Yet, you might wake up one day and realize that the people
around you see only the professional, the boss, the leader, and
the rich man in you. Why don't they see the real you? But when
you seek yourself for who you truly are, what would you find? Who
are you really? What is your purpose? Perhaps when you ask these
questions, you might not have to wonder why people could not see
who you truly are.

Perhaps in your drive to achieve everything you want, you have
forgotten who you are.

Wealth and success are good things. They enable you to gain
fame, power, and even prestige. They are means to fulfillment but
not the fulfillment themselves. If the means have become the
actual source of fulfillment, then something has gone wrong along
the process.

If a person becomes obsessed with wealth and success, he will
sacrifice other areas of his life such as life, family, friends,
and even loved ones. He becomes an absentee lover, father, and
family member, and he starts losing out on the simple joys of
life. Routine, especially a very busy one, can make a person
function like a robot.

Wealth and success can be used to maximize purpose, not diminish
it.

Take a look at your situation. You may have achieved the zenith
of your career and are enjoying a very good salary level. But if
you knew your purpose, you would learn how to use your wealth and
your success in helping other people and ensuring that your
fulfillment is in the long term and not only in the short term.

While there are some people who are so puritan that they
consider wealth and success as inimical to finding purpose in
life, you have the choice not to take such an extreme position.
Rather, you just have to balance the pursuit of wealth and
success, with that of your purpose. If you knew your purpose, you
would not have to worry about your success competing with your
own pursuit of purpose in your life.
