Let’s see each one of them: Starting with the end in mind is essential. It turns out that without a vision, a transcendent sense of purpose, everything is vain, small and useless. Therefore, the first step to success is aligning our mind and our heart. Our rational and emotional intelligence. The balance between giving and receiving.
Every venture goes through different stages. I call one of the most significant: the dark night of the soul, in which life puts us to the test. A defining moment in which everything gets complicated and in which, if our mind and heart are not aligned, we give up.

And this is why deep sense of purpose is so important. It is the encouragement that gives us the strength not to give up in the most difficult moments. It connects us with the real meaning of life that always goes beyond us. It reminds us that we are here to serve, and that our reason for being is in that service. And through that energy based on love, it charges us with the strength required to face what comes and continue.
Then there is the action. The massive action. Doing and learning by doing. Being flexible and resilient. Being curious and persistent. Using life’s setbacks as a school and an impulse to go further.
We live in an intelligent universe that wants us to be successful. Taking action sends an unequivocal message that we are players and life loves the player. Let yourself be loved. Learn. It grows. Hear the profound wisdom of 3.8 billion years of evolution that you want and that knows what it takes for us to be successful.

And it is here that the intelligence of the heart that is connected to the universe intervenes again. Let’s stop to think about the miracle of life that happens in the womb throughout the gestation. There, in fast motion, you and I go through 3.8 billion years of evolution in nine months. And during that period all the wisdom of billions of years crystallizes in us. Therefore, if we learn to silence the rational mind, which perceives and acts within the rational sense of separation and we allow ourselves to silence it and connect with the emotional intelligence of the heart, which is holistic; we have access to a deep wisdom that has the formula of the success of evolution.
Finally there is gratitude. The blessed gratitude. The one that places us in the here and now. While we are in an attitude of gratitude we are not claiming the past or worrying about the future. We are here with the five, six or seven senses, living in the present moment, charging ourselves with energy, joy and well-being.
So today, embrace the deep meaning of work. Go hard. He [email protected] Be resilient. And I know deeply [email protected] for the gift of living. Have a great day.
