“Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.”

~ Maya Angelou

If you think failure and defeat, you invite failure and defeat, you deserve failure and defeat, because you asked for it. If you think success, attainment, fulfillment and achievement, then success indeed it will be. Your life will culminate in fulfillment, in glorious achievements, for you will have invited it. That is what you deserve, and that is what you will receive.

-Swami Chidananda
(Chidananda Hun)

Success and failure be the same to you", is a truism to be realized in order to attain a peaceful mind. Whatever God determines should be implicitly believed as for the best. Really, every loss, failure and misfortune is pregnant with absolute good. It must be recognized with full faith that,
at the back of the relative mind, exists a Divinity which causes all its workings - a Divinity which is the very abode of peace and bliss.
