Journey to Authenticity: Embracing Inner Peace and True Success

Feelings like satisfaction, contentment, glow, gratitude and the tranquillity of daily peace can only be obtained from within not from a job.

The job is fine; it provides you with a salary. In this regard a job is a necessity and needs to be appreciated. However, no matter how hard we try, we can never really from the substantive level be satisfied with a job. A job presupposes that there will forever be someone ordering you around and evaluating you. Therefore, a job can never make you human for to be human is to be free.

That is where quiet quitting appears; it is about being authentic and becoming alive to the realities of the job. God made human being to be free n answerable only to God not another imposed human being. The reason that no human being is similar with other human being, that we are all unique should tell you that we are in essence equal. A job within a corporation tells you there are some people that are senior to you and you must conform to their whims.

Quiet quiiting says that we can still secure the job but still become authentic true human beings. We can really have our cake and still eat it.

The world is transforming as people who were once willing to live ordinary lives now step out of their comfort zones to explore the wilderness of the extraordinary. People are no longer willing to settle for playing small. People are tapping from within and connecting to the power that has created the world. That power lies within you and you do not know it.

We are moving towards a critical mass, a tipping point when there will be a massive shift. It is not so far away. When enough people awaken to who they truly are and reclaim their highest potential, there will be a quantum leap. This whole country will be a lovely place to be.

There will be a quantum leap in the numbers of people who will be on the path to authenticity – a path that involves living life on your own terms, according to your deepest values and highest ideals. It is a path that involves living with a wide open heart and a well-developed mind.

Quiet quitting is about disengagement. It is about having a split personality. Split personality is good. Split personality is the results of multi tasking. Split personality is that your body may be present in the work place but your soul and spirit is not there. Doing that you preserve your body and spirit from toxic situations. We all know how workplaces can be toxic. There use to be emphasis that you must be there in the workplace giving your soul to the corporation and even going further multitasking for that corporation. Multi-tasking is about doing different tasks at the same time. You are really into the job to such a point that you do multiple tasks. Or it is not you doing doing that voluntary, but that your boss is forcing you to Multi task.

What is the results? In the end we come to learn that the corporation does not care about you, whatever care they provide is for you to pour more of your soul to that corporation, to be more of a seduced slave.

And so people are learning about health and wellness and know that to be a slave of a job that does not ove you inner satisfaction is a recipe for all kinds of psychological illnesses.

So people do quiet quitting.

Quiet quitting is self preservation. In 1955 the psychotherapist Erich Fromm wrote a book that he called The Sane Society. He says the the world we a now living in is ncreasingly becoming more insane. The question was, so how do we turn the insane world into sanity? That was the question that Erich Fromm posed. While he came up with different possible options to turn the insane world into sanity all the options and solutions centered around love.

Love connects. Love is what glues the many into one. Love is a unifying force. Love is what unifies God and all his creation, children into a shared self and shared mind.

Love unifies; love is union. God is unified state, God is union.

Clearly, you seem separated from me. I am here and you are over there; there is space and time between us. I see this separation between us

I see you as over there. Okay. I decide to love you as I love me; I decide to care for you as I care for me.

When a person loves himself, loves other people, cares for himself and cares for other people he has metaphorically closed the gap that separates him from other people; he has returned to the awareness of union.

We, the children of God, children of love, separated from eternal state of union (God, love) and now see ourselves as separated from God and from each other.

Originally, we are unified spirit.

To love, you have to love yourself first. You have to cultivate self love. Self love comes from deep within. Self love is a deep stream that is quiet and settled. Ot flows from deep within not on the surface by every wind.

Solitude, or the art and joy of having private space alone has been the exclusive natural luxury and peace for every individual.

Spend your time to know yourself. Tear down the façade you show to the world and do the deep inner work on your true self. You need to start knowing your real you. Focus on rebuilding your self-relationship. Connect your mind with your deeper self. Get to know your deepest and truest values. Get to know your likes, preferences and priorities – not those in your head other people have taught you. Empty your head and fill it fresh with new deeper ideas from within. Get to know what genuinely makes you feel happy. Bring the subconscious patterns and way as of reacting to things out into the light of your deeper awareness so that they can be healed. Get to know your fears and how you came to make them your own. As you come to know who you are, you can then claim your destiny as it draws closer to you.

Go back to your beginning. At the moment of your birth, you were pure perfection. You were a peace of paradise and purity. In so many ways children are the teachers. As children we are perfect. We are still connected to the force that created the world. But as we begin to age, we adopt fears from the world around us. We become soiled. We are taught how to fit into the cruelties of life.

Most people have lost the connection with themselves. They have forgotten who they truly are.

Our lives were meant to be joy-filled, exciting and full of worth, love, peace and beauty. Happiness is our birthright.

We come to learn that happiness is within us and not externally in the corporation we are slaving for. We come to appreciate the genuinely of ourselves and so we drop off kind off. That is quiet quitting.

Anyone can find a certain degree of peace by divorcing themselves from the world and spending their lives in solitude. No one and nothing can disturb you when you are all alone. Make time where you go in silence, stilling your mind and getting rid of loud lousy thoughts from your head. Shut yourself from the honking horns of cars, the swelling crowds and the fast speed of life.

Silence illuminates our souls, whispers to our hearts, and brings them together. Silence separates us from ourselves, makes us move forward with through the vehicle of spirit. Silence and stillness brings us closer to the doors of heaven.

So silence and being alone are important for you to take part in all the extended eternal possibilities that your life is meant to offer. You will start evolving to a stage ease, calm, and feel deeper peace. You will become nothing less than magical.

A great hallmark of mental wellness is the ability to be in the present moment, fully and with no thoughts of being elsewhere.

Each one of us has an internal voice of personal truth. This is a deep place of personal knowing that lives at the core of our hearts.

When you live a life of corporation determined to succeed by whatever means, so that you can out class and out beat others and have expensive items tied to your personal lives do that the magazines and newspapers of these world deem you success, that is false view of life we have been planted in. We need to uproot that notion of life. There is no one to beat in this world.

We fear that if another person wins, we must lose. We fear that there just enough abundance and prosperity in the world for everyone. We fear that if we genuinely help another person, we will somehow lose something rather than seeing the truth behind this false view of life.

All these betrayal of our true selves leads us to sadness and pain. As we continue to act in wrong ways, living a false view of life, the conscience start to shut up - no longer speaking to us anymore. And when that happens, we begin to loose respect and self-worth. And we begin to hate ourselves at the deeper level.

Make a shift. Move from focusing on the externals to a voyage deeper within. Locate yourself not in the news out there in the world but in the news within. The greatest news is the news that lies within you. Out of you will emerge personal growth, being more loving and compassionate being.

The key is to be true to yourself, to be true to the very best that is in you, and to live your life consistent with your highest values and aspirations.

We are moving away from independence, where it is all about me, me, me, to an appreciation for the paramount importance of interdependence. Many of us have become conscious of the fact that we are all part of the same family.

No One Entity is Superior to Another: No one being or creature is any better or greater than another. We are all the same. We are all on different paths and have different levels of understanding, but that does not make any one of us better than another. Humans are not masters of nature, nor the animals and plants. They are our companions, and co-inhabitants of this planet. We are not superior to them, nor do we own them. We should treat them all with respect.

People chase titles, fast cars, profits, big bank accounts, social media followers. All these are done in search for happiness. What sadness. The more you chase after these things the more you wallow in misery.

The satisfaction and happiness we are craving is inside us. We are looking for it all in the wrong places: in position, in social status, and in things like net worth.

Michael Jordan is widely acknowledged as the greatest basketball player of all-time. He is a self-made billionaire. He wrote a book called driven from within. The external world bring sorrows. What is needed is a person driven from within.

There are two types of success. There is the success of normal persons. Here, a chap goes through the expected schooling, acquires relevant job skills and obtains a job and works his way from entry level positions to the top of his profession (game). This type of person has normal self concept and is not motivated to be a grandiose self. He is happy to be alive and does his share in the work place and is rewarded with good pay and promotions. The normal person provides decently for his family and contributes to social well being. He is successful if he is what Americans call a middle class person, say, a medical doctor, income over $150, 000 a year, married with two children; a lawyer, income over $50, 000 a year, married with two children; an engineer, income $65,000 a year, married with two children; a teacher, income $45, 000 a year, married to another teacher with two children; an auto mechanic, or an electrician, a plumber, a carpenter etc making good hourly wages, married with four or more children and adequately supports them.

The other type of success is the success of those doing what they really, really want to do with their lives. This type of person may or may not be making too much money. For example, a scientific researcher studying the human brain and helping us understand the nature of the brain, I think, is a truly successful person. A person who dedicates his life to understanding human psychology, such as the early psychologists (Freud, Adler, Jung, Fromm, Sullivan, Horney, Maslow, Rogers, R.D Laing, George Kelly, Pavlov, Watson, Skinner, etc) I think, is a successful person. If the individual studies something and uses the information he obtains from it to make human living a bit pleasant, I think that he is a successful person.
