Love, Success, and Peace

After reading the thought-provoking quote - "Mind wants success, Heart wants love, and Soul wants peace" - I couldn't help but wonder: Can I have all three? If not, what should be my priority? Who should define my way of life? Is it money, success or peace? Am I racing for success, for love, or for peace? Or, can there be only one attribute that can give me all three- success, love and peace?

After some introspection, I found my answer. Sharing this here to give you all a hint.?Maybe, you would also be interested in finding answers to what could make you successful, what brings you peace, and whether are you loved and would you love.

I am at peace when I have financial freedom. This means having enough income or savings to happily and healthily live my present and secure my future and retirement with my current earnings.?

If I add growth and satisfaction to this definition of peace and achieve more financial freedom from my passion, I am successful.

No matter how complicated love may seem, I believe true love cannot be achieved through success or peace. Else we wouldn't have seen divorces and breakups in the news or high-profile business tycoons committing suicides. If peace brings love then we wouldn't have seen any seers(rishis) and yogis during Kumbh melas. But, does that mean all three- Peace, Success, and Love can't be together in our lives??To uncomplicate love and to make it stand together with my definitions of peace and success I wired my brain with my own definition of love.

This is my definition which starts with a definition of the different groups of people. There are family members, friends, colleagues, and clients. As humans, we are social animals and love to stay connected with those in our lives.?

Love in the family is about feeling free to express our emotions and desires, and being cared for. It's about understanding one another, and being there to listen and guide each other. It's about helping each other grow and making the most of our time together, without feeling like we're sacrificing our own happiness.?So, if I cannot be free in my family, my brain takes it as if I am not being loved. It's the same the other way, all whom I love, I let them express themselves. Give them space to grow and be what they are. (You all must have read Gary D Chapman author of the book "The Five Love languages")

Love among friends is about being non-judgmental and understanding, while also supporting each other in both good times and bad. It's about offering honest advice and being there to celebrate each other's successes.?

Finally, love for colleagues and clients is about thinking and working for their welfare in ways that we can. It's about being supportive and encouraging, while also being completely professional and courteous. Love for the nation is to be a law-abiding citizen and respect our motherland.

Fortunately, I have been blessed with love in my life and it is not dependent on success or peace, but one of the major causes. Peace is what I had always given priority to which I get through freedom. I am on my path of success and working towards it. Hopefully, you could define love, success, and peace for yourselves and uncomplicate the motive of your race!
