Keys to successful living part 1

Every want to be successful in life, but where are the keys to success? Do we have to go out and search for those keys, or do we have those potentials already within ourselves? When we begin to examine life, we can see that it is divided into two aspects life within life and we can see that these aspects are of equal importance. Even if we have renounced the world gone far away from civilization and live in the wilderness doing nothing but meditation we cannot ignore external. We still have to see that we eat, do our ablutions, and preform our practices on time. So life in the external world is as important as life in the internal world.

Even one who has renounced the world has to understand the word relationship properly, because life itself is actually relationship. The body is related to the breath, and the breath is related to mind. The body, breath, senses, and mind all function together as a unit. So life virtually means relationship, and thus the art of living and being requires an understanding of ones relationship to the external world and the relationship within oneself.
