#70 - Successful Actions
Successful Actions - those past activities that produced your desired end result.
Successful actions are those activities, or ideas that we brought into fruition to a satisfactory conclusion or maintained, and measured by the warmth of our heart.
It well behooves us to go back into our history and reflect on what was truly successful.
"What was a truly successful action that I applied, and resulted in a heart-centered approach to my life?"
You've done many of them, we've all done them.
However, I am pretty sure that you (we) have also dropped out our successful actions after some time?
New Year's resolutions are lucky to get past February 1st!
That life-time membership to the gym, lasted how long?
And how about your pledge to lose weight?
How many chores or projects have you enthusiastically started and eventually given up on?
Often those great and life-enhancing ideas wither away and are replaced with something else.
If it's replaced with something even more successful, that's wonderful, but inevitably a lot of the time we just drop out our successful actions.
We stop doing them!
Spoiler Alert - I am guilty of that!
And we can always justify that unfulfilled action with a plausible excuse!
The idea behind rehabilitating your life to its former glory and to become more heart-centered, is to reflect back on what you were doing that was highly successful and bring that back in.
Put those activities back into a regular routine and follow through with persistence and perseverance.

Didn't you say:
"The ego will sabotage our efforts?"
Yes!
The problem is the ego-mind gets in the way, and will disrupt your program and practice, as it wants to be in control, it likes to keep us in fear, superiority, judgement and separateness, and a lot of subsets underneath those.
Initially it will allow us to pursue our successful actions, and then gradually it will erode them away until we drop out those activities completely, hence it is called 'dropping out successful actions.'

Obviously, we can't do every one of those past successful actions all at once.
So have a look at:
"What was I doing that was really working for me, worked for everybody else in my immediate surroundings, and was creating a great effect, changing my life and the lives of other people?
And then prioritise one of those activities and work at rehabilitating and bringing it back as a successful action.
You are the only one that can measure it and determine what is important for you to bring back into your life.
Take back your life, you deserve it!
Congratulations, you transcended the ego!
