Success is usually viewed as due to the intensity of efforts to overcome obstacles to the achievement of goals, intentions, expectations, etc. If there is contention between conflicting goals, intentions, expectations, ideals, values and principles---then the response is to work harder at overcoming the obstacles. Conflict is intensified. It is not evident to the workaholic that conflicts between goals, intentions, expectations, ideals, values and principles need to be resolved. In truth, working harder is irrelevant until the conflicts are resolved and there is inner peace, serenity, rest, and security. Inner peace, serenity, rest and security are pre- requisites to success; not the rewards for success. Working harder often heightens tensions, conflicts, violence, distress and insecurity---and often undermines success which would otherwise be possible. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
