In this post, I shall be exploring David Hawkins book called Success is for You. I have read all of David Hawkins Books. This book out of his series is more focused on mindset and business than the strong spirituality elements (combined with science) he usually delves into in his other books.
This book delves more into cultivating and maintaining the right mindset for success. In our lives, we spend most of our time going after our goals. We reach for the goal/destination, similar to the donkey chasing the carrot on the stick.
This can lead to a couple of problems. We may have burnout, we may get frustrated and quit, or we will continually chase the goal in an endless maze we have made psychologically without ever achieving the goal in the end. This can be represented as the donkey finally collapsing in the exhaustion of chasing the carrot and never getting up to attempt getting the carrot again.
There is a huge difference between going for a goal and living from a goal, thus working on expanding from that new reality in which you is already achieved. Understanding the difference between for and from can change the perspective the person is looking at a destination from and take them automatically to achieve their goal.
David Hawkins explores this in the book. He teaches how living and working from the goal achieved in mind (you work from a goal because it is already yours and it's done).
He continues to explain how working from this frame of mind is more effective and not only gives you the joy of the achieved goal; but also a more balanced and enjoyable life, living life after the goal has been achieved.
A lot of society has been taught to strive, hustle, and push for a goal. While having a purpose is very important, there is a difference between living from your purpose now ( because you already achieved you goal) and striving for a goal, which can feed into people's subconscious addiction to Desire. Desire is a never-ending unsatisfying feeling that sometimes can be mistaken for love.
The majority believe this is what is needed to succeed or to get something, while over a long period of time, its effects can be extremely damaging.
For more in-depth information, I recommend David Hawkins: Letting Go, The Art of Surrender, which teaches how one can transcend many negative emotions, including Desire.
Hawkins also gives examples in the book of people who work in jobs they enjoy. This position provides a high value to others as well as themselves, as well as why it's important to work from the heart to others, rather than to use unethical methods to achieve your goal.
In the post-pandemic world, self-help, evolution, and development of the self are more critical than anything else in our lives. If you seek a switch in mindset and a new approach to living from your goals in a state of expansion. I highly recommend this book to you.
Ending Questions: Have you read this book? What is your opinion on this book? Do you work for your goals or strive with purpose from the end and attainment of your previously achieved goal?
