Can Love lead to Success?

 

Can Love lead to Success?

This is against conventional thinking so most of us would not have considered this aspect .  I invite you to explore this with an open mind to see how it makes a lot of sense .

Many persons get stuck in life because of a loss of personal power due to factors like Fear ,guilt, shame, self pity, comparisons  etc  . Fear blocks us from taking action.  And guilt makes us weak. A healthy dose of self love and forgiveness  is enough to get back that lost Power . So all success starts with . All  Success starts with a feeling . A feeling of self acceptance and self love , Love for others, Peace and happiness is a space from where you  can take powerful action .Negative emotions can only block you or reduce the impact of the action . And only inspired action can get you great results .

 For only when you love and respect yourself can others truly accept you and connect to you . We know that one of the most critical components for Success is our ability to connect with others at a deeper level . Every business success depends on people and everybody understands superficiality. A sales person knows very well that it is not just the product the buyer is buying into but also the person. A loving person can form the bonds quickly which gives them a big edge .The same applies for a Manager or Leader who wants to provide inspirational leadership or for a business partnership to survive or for retaining a great subordinate. We all know that we are not perfect and neither are others . And most of us don’t get to choose whom we  work with or our customers or our bosses . When we operate without judgment and accept that people as they are and provide required support, we will see that that they will grow . And then we have an asset for a lifetime because that brings in loyalty ,dedication, enhanced capabilities  and long term retention. It also allows people to blossom and bring out their uniqueness which otherwise gets suppressed . Another major factor for success is the ownership you take and the passion you bring to the table . This is truly possible only when you can love what you do . As people are involved in whatever you do this love has to extend there to break down ego barriers and create good working relationships. When a group works together  in this manner  innovation and breakthrough results occur .Without love it becomes just another job without passion  and the results end up to be  mediocre .

 Another critical component is the ability to take risks and make decisions quickly which calls for Trust  in self, the other person and a kind Universe . Trusting is far easier where there is love as without that you see only the flaws and the goodness or bigness is missed . And consider that Love is your true nature  intrinsically  but its just that  you have closed your heart to love because of some past failures/rejections as you don’t want the hurt again . Most relationships fail because you give in to the doubts which surface time and again . Love makes it possible to take that risk  again as it  can drive out that doubt and  fears because of which you are denying yourself a bright new world . Also when we operate more from the heart the ego is kept at bay and we are able to emotionally distance ourselves from issues .  A self-distanced perspective on an issue, for example, takes into account the opinions of others and additional external factors and tends to result in less personally biased judgments and reasoning and hence better decision making.

Another big factor that blocks us is Selfishness . We have become that way because we have had to fight for our survival for too long . When we cross that barrier and share with others we find that our power and reach expands exponentially . We have a benevolent universe that desires to help us but we are blocking that help when we get mired in selfishness as the universe can help us only through people. We have learnt in mathematics at a young age that 1 plus 1 equals 2 . But when it comes to success the equation is different . 1 plus 1 equals 3 . Can also be higher . Now how can that be . It is just that individually  we are all limited but when we learn to work together putting aside our egos we become powerful . And the results are many times beyond the sum of two individuals.  All it calls for is Love and a shared vision which is easy to create where there is love and the results are magical .

This love based  wisdom is already being applied in many companies worldwide . The largest and oldest corporate group in India the Tatas is a prime example as they put the employee first and go to great lengths to take care of them. This automatically translates to better employee retention and greater stability . No company can succeed in long term if this factor is ignored. So i invite you to include Love as one of your key strategies for sustainable Success.
