Chapter 25 | Infinite Success in Presence with God: Identity Renewal and Original Abundance

From the Success You Seek to Success as God’s Intent

In the earlier chapters, we repeatedly explored a fundamental question: What is true success?

True success is not "getting whatever you ask for," but becoming the person you were originally meant to be.

However, our current system is still "old." What we call "human nature" is not the original life created by God, but a consciousness pattern distorted by Ego concepts—a soil that is old, limited, and driven by scarcity. Just as barren soil cannot grow a towering tree, the old consciousness cannot carry a truly abundant life; therefore, we must renew the soil—renew the subconscious.

The only path to renewing the soil is through real Grace and experience, allowing internal doubt to be gradually replaced by Grace, and replacing finite limitations with infinite possibilities. This process can be simplified into a cycle:

Petition → Submission → Obtaining the requested → Acceptance of the successful experience by the subconscious → Gradual renewal of the subconscious → Entering true success.

Moving from the success we seek toward success according to God’s will is both inevitable and necessary. Because many of the things we seek are not what we truly need.

Consequently, many people still do not feel happiness, peace, or a sense of worth even after achieving the accomplishments they have long desired. This phenomenon is not accidental but a reality widely observed in social psychology and happiness research.

In fact, there is an extensive body of academic research regarding the relationship between income and well-being. Generally, higher income is indeed correlated with higher life satisfaction, but the relationship is non-linear and does not equate to sustained inner fulfillment.

For example, a large-scale multinational study noted that in many high-income countries, an increase in per capita income does not necessarily accompany an overall rise in happiness. This phenomenon is known as the "Easterlin Paradox," indicating that well-being and economic growth do not correspond one-to-one.

These data indicate:

• Simply "getting more" does not guarantee sustained happiness;
• Wealth may reduce certain pressures and risks, but it does not automatically generate a sense of meaning or inner abundance;
• If people construct their lives solely around external success indicators, they easily fall into a cycle of continuous pursuit without ever reaching true fulfillment.

True Success is Not "Getting More," but the Renewal of the Inner State

True success does not lie in how much wealth you possess, how high your status is, how excellent your partner is, or how luxurious your residence is.

Its deeper hallmark is the state of the inner life:

• Returning to Original Abundance—the heart is no longer driven by scarcity;
• Living in the state of "Working with God"—feeling a deep-rooted sense of belonging;
• Returning to the True Role arranged by God—possessing a real sense of worth within;
• Moving from what is sought to what is meant to be done—there is no conflict or fragmentation in the heart.

True success is manifested in these deep experiences:

Joy, peace, and serenity; a profound sense of belonging and worth; a state of life characterized by constant gratitude and sustained happiness.

Therefore, what we should pursue is not "success itself," but happiness itself.

Because happiness is the success God has prepared for us.
