It will be bringing you a lot of success without it being something you're even chasing.

What's the meaning of 'without it being something'?

The pronoun it appears twice in this sentence. The writer doesn't tell us what the first it refers to. Let's assume it refers to 'kindness'. The second it refers to success.

That gives us this. Kindness will be bringing you a lot of success without success being something you're even chasing.

The tenses in this sentence don't seem correct, but the basic idea here is that kindness will make you successful, even if you do not seek success.
