How to be Successful

The New Rule to being Successful Today

May 22, 2009 Mark Zimmerman

The rules for how to be successful in today's world are different to those of yesterday. The rules of success have changed from competitive ones to cooperative ones.

In the past, people learned how to be successful according to the Darwinian principle, known to most by the phrase “survival of the fittest.”

In other words, to be successful, one had to be stronger, smarter, faster, or more cunning than another, and achieve their success at another’s expense. Today, this is no longer the requisite formula for success, according to Kabbalah theory.

Darwin’s Formula on How to be Successful No Longer Works

Today, a different principle for how to be successful is at work: successful people are those who work together with others.

“Working together” in this context means more than, say, just being business partners, where one person might ruin the other as soon as a better opportunity arises.

Instead, Kabbalah explains that “working together” requires people to add consideration and mutuality in their relationships, in which everyone is equal and no one surpasses anyone else.

The Need to Renew Human Relationships

The need to renew human relationships is not a new idea. Kabbalah is one of many voices addressing this need, and the idea that today’s rules for how to be successful have changed.

Even political leaders like US President Barack Obama and England’s Prime Minister Gordon Brown have spoken out about the need for people to connect with each other. Political leaders have suggested that the world’s troubling situation demands that people forge connections in order to advance toward positive change.

Moreover, political leaders are not the only ones voicing the need to increase awareness that the connections among people are global ones. There are thousands of people working on figuring out how to use this new rule of success to humanity’s advantage, and how to implement practical measures to make certain that humanity begins cooperating, instead of egoistically exploiting (and thus, destroying) one another.

However, as much as the leaders manage to insert moments of hope in the public, and as much as people continue to research the multitude of problems facing humanity, beneath the surface, the problems remain. And that is because the greatest tool capable of making the change for success possible is not being used to its fullest advantage. According to Kabbalah, that tool is education.

Education – That’s How to be Successful!

Kabbalah states that education is the means for solving all of humanity’s problems.

Education, in Kabbalah, means teaching mutual dependency, consideration and cooperation as society’s greatest values, and as the true path to success for everyone. If the billions of dollars being spent on helping banks and enterprises would be spent on creating a worldwide education system, an education system focused on raising a new kind of person - one who knows how to consider the whole global-scale society in one’s attitudes and relationships - then humanity would literally “grow up” beyond these problems and dramatically improve quality of life.

Kabbalists state that humanity now faces the revelation of the law of nature, which is a law of mutuality and cooperativeness. Global unity is a concept still unclear to the majority of humanity, and this concept is necessary not only for each person to be successful in life, but it’s necessary for humanity’s very survival and well-being.

The moment people will begin to understand the rules of success pertaining to living in accordance with this law of nature, the world’s situation will improve on all levels – personal, social and global. And according to Kabbalah, as soon as people begin cooperating, nature will provide its support.

Kabbalists believe that by replacing competitive attitudes with a cooperative mindset, everyone will grow and find success.while also discovering a whole new world full of perfection and fulfillment.

Thank you for a well considered article-
I hope that the worthwhile sentiments in this article is taken on by those who are responsible for social engineering... the media, politicians, large oligarchies...
Too long we have lived with media that encourages the worst of social norms, the winners and losers, reality shows and talent shows that set out to destroy those not fitting into the social norm of 'successful' people.
Too long we have had large organisations dominating political policy with their agendas.
But only by educating and empowering people as to the consequences of these very short term, materialistic, divisive social 'norms' can we fully put in place inclusive, holistic and genuinely progressive steps towards saving our planet and those upon it.
