You can achieve great things through meditation. But what exactly are these things? The truth is that you get to create the definition. If you’re after success, meditation can help get you there.
Meditation has been around for ages and it’s a great, relaxing activity to engage in everyday. Also, it’s available to everyone in every moment. Plus, it’s completely free!
Ultimately, there are no excuses for not being able to meditate. Some will say that they simply don’t have enough time. But are you not worth a few minutes a day? Of course you are! You should be able to allot yourself at least 15 minutes per day, just to focus on your own success.
How Meditation Can Help
Meditation is an art that has many opinions associated with it and there are also many ways to meditate. A consensus remains around the fact that it’s about clearing your mind and remaining in the present moment. With regular practice you’ll gain the necessary clarity and discover truths about your life.
Meditation is a great way for you to discover something you may already know deep down. You operate on many levels and you already know how to achieve the success you desire. Problems arise when you spend too much time dealing with day-to-day activities and too little time exploring your depth.
Feel Your Emotions
Getting in touch with your emotions is an important thing. It’s not only reserved for females, nor is it something that will make you vulnerable. It’s an important step on your way to discovering success.
When you meditate and really feel your emotions on any subject, you’ll begin to tap into the truth. What is it that you’re really after? What is your true definition of success?
You’ll often hear of the actor that achieves fame but still doesn’t feel fulfilled. You may have also heard about the successful business mogul who reaches career and financial success but still feels incomplete at the end of the day. These people haven’t truly determined their own definition of success and, instead, have chased someone else’s dreams.
Enjoy the Process
You must stay present and enjoy the process. An actor will remain happy with his or her success if they truly love the art of acting. If they were only after fame and later discovered that it wasn’t all it’s cracked up to be, then they may have followed the wrong path and should reevaluate their path to success.
If you spent too much time on your business plans, make sure you take a step back and remember where you’re going. In this case, you can practice “walking meditation,” which is when you go through the steps of your day-to-day life completely aware of what you’re doing in each moment. This may sound easy, but it can be difficult to master!
Your Focus Can Shift
Once you’ve decided where you’d truly like your life to go, you can take the steps to get yourself there. However, remember that you can’t get back lost time. There’s always a life lesson to be learned by the path you’ve chosen.
Remember that each moment brings incredible transformations. You need to allow this to happen and resist the urge to fight change. This also means that your life goals may change, as well. And that’s okay! It helps to go with the flow and be willing to adapt as you go.
Practice Affirmations
Affirmations are excellent statements to meditate on while you’re achieving your focus. If you remind yourself that you’ve already achieved success, you’ll get there.
Really spend some time envisioning your success. Think about what it feels like to achieve. In the same way that you would picture yourself in a safe place when you’re scared, picture yourself in a successful place when you have doubts.
When you believe in the power of meditation, you believe in your true self, and then success will be yours!

Hi Again Brother,
I was wondering if you have any suggestions for me, I have been meditating with great success until recently. What I mean by great success is that I was able to stay awake and I was able to increase the amount of time I meditate for. Although I am not meditating for success per say, I at this time am meditating to find the Kingdom of our father. By simply focusing and repeating “Father”.
I usually meditate before going to sleep at night and when I wake up in the morning, but recently I am having trouble staying awake, and find myself dosing off, and then waking up and trying again and then dosing off etc etc.
Is there any advice you can offer to prevent this from happening, and is there another mantra you can offer for “seeking the Kingdom of God” during meditation?
Health and Happiness

Hi Garth,
Yes, one can easily get into the habit of doing the same thing. Once your body get used to the ritual, you can loose concentration. You will find that some sessions are much more purposeful than other times. Sometimes it might freel like you have completely failed. This is normal and you shuold not be discourage. I have found the following helps me to stay awake and focussed:
1. It helps to find an additionl specific purpose for going into meditation, like people that requires spiritual help, people that are sick for instance, and I would specifically want to discuss this with Jesus or the Father at the end of my meditaion and project the healing power to them. This purpose, I will then constantly keep in the back of my head, realizing that I have to press in and stay connected to be able to get to this point during meditation.
2. Preceed your meditation session with active prayer. Pray in tongues earnestly and purposefully to prepare your spirit and soul. This will be and indication to your soul that are preparing for meditation. Praying is you speaking to God, meditation is communion with God and listening to Him. People from non-Christian backgrounds that might not know how to pray in tongues, sometimes use some form of chanting to prepare themselves.
3. Consider changing your body position. I used to lie down on my back in the beginning and it worked well for me. Then later I found that I have been able to teach my body to go into total relaxation and I also started dozing off. I usually did this late in the evenings before going to bed. I then changed my position to one of sitting more upright, but comfortably and relaxed. The change in body position helped me to stay more focused and reminding me of the purpose for doing it.
4. I believe you should not try meditating while in bed. Your body and mind are used to that place as the place where the body and the mind goes to sleep. Rather go the same spot where your mind is conditioned that this is the place for meditation.

We will talk again, keep up the good work.
