0.3｜The Answer I Finally Found: Success is Not a Self-Project, but Destiny + Trust

This question haunted me for twenty years. It wasn't until my long search for the meaning of life led me to start reading the Bible and seriously face the reality of "God," that I slowly pieced together the stories of those hundreds of entrepreneurs and all the fragments of my own life.

I discovered a conclusion so simple, yet sufficient to offend all traditional success manuals: Success is not "designed by you," but "responded to by you."

You can do three things:

1. Prepare yourself — this involves ability, diligence, learning, and vision.
2. Surrender yourself — this involves obedience, trust, and letting go of control.
3. In every moment you "can't hold on much longer," choose not to give up, and choose to believe there is an "Invisible Hand."

And who is that "Hand"? To me, the answer is clear: it is God. Of course, many success books and the Law of Attraction call Him the Universal Spirit; some Chinese entrepreneurs call Him "Heaven." Whatever you call it, it is the Higher One whose ability exceeds our own. But the one who guarantees a response to every one of us is Jesus, who said: "Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours."

Asking means you must dare to set goals for yourself, the clearer the better. Trusting means you hand this goal back to the Hands of the One who created you. Success is not something you snatch from the outside; it is given to you by the higher Universal Spirit based on your trust.

When I look back through this lens:

• That "phantom car" from my $700 salary days,
• Those turning points of seemingly accidental phone calls, projects, and investors,
• Those "inspirations and solutions" that suddenly appeared after I had exhausted my own methods...

I know very clearly: I did not "attract" them; I was "led" to them. I just didn't know the Author behind the scenes writing the script at the time.
