RE: Success: A societal progress report
Success can only really be evaluated in hindsight, looking back at what has been accomplished. If one is in the moment and living it fully, there is no way to evaluate whether what one is doing is successful or not, there is just the flow of action.
These days, people spend so much time worrying about what the world is doing to them that they do not live in the moment nor consider what they are doing to the world. The victim mentality is growing as the mind, body and emotions weaken in their ability to deal with even the slightest of pressures.
Have you had moments in the making of which you already knew that this is an occasion for joy and something that you said or created was of great beauty?
if fully experiencing it, how could one know? it is only in reflection of the moment (not being in the moment itself) that it would be possible to evaluate.
Um.
Take the minutes you're restoring an old car. You bumped out a fender and during the fine work - in the process of light hammering and tapping you feel how it succeeds. You know you got a flow right now. ... In relation to a longer process: yes, there it is as you say. I would have liked to hear an example from your life. That's all.
