SUCCESS = LOVE

In recent times, I often get at least a email daily which will have link to YouTube video. But this one that I received from Kirtigandha, my sister-in-law made moved me. A story of 66 year old father, who has been tirelessly running across the globe, in various races, and even in triathlons for his 44 year old son who was born as spastic, quadriplegic, cerebral palsy, and non-speaking baby. After watching this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flRvsO8m_KI), they became my real life hero's. Most importantly, I understood the true meaning of Love!

How many have such a true love even for ourselves, that we can stretch any limits to achieve what we believe in? There are many fathers and mothers can run even 90 mts for their kid, for their passion, and for their dreams. Leave about stretching your limits for your kid, but how many of us run extra mile even for our own dreams, when we are most tired? If we can not run for our own dreams, forget how can we sacrifice for others dreams! To me this only means that we are never in love with ourselves, we just pretend to be in love with you. If, we are in love with ourselves, and our dreams, no matter what hurdles that are thrown in your way that you would cross it, under any circumstances. Just like what Dick did for Rick - together they have run 950 races including 60 marathons, and several triathlons.

But, after watching and reading more about Team Hyot (http://www.teamhyot.com/), one thing that I realize that all of us - those who can not achieve simple success, and then complain about circumstances - that they simply love themselves. They just do not love enough that they can transcend limitations of their body, laziness, mind, and excuses for being failures. I learnt a simple but most powerful sutra of success- "SUCCESS = LOVE".

Love yourself, your cause of life, your dream and ambition so much that no matter what are the circumstances that you can achieve that success. Because that is only indication and demonstration of "how much you love yourself!". I wish you start loving yourself as much as Dick at age of 66 love his 44 year old disabled son. Because,

SUCCESS = LOVE!
