I have a tool called The Mood Meter. It is a way to determine how happy you are. Based on this tool, the level of our happiness depends on the contribution of one or some of the other four moods: Blame mood, victim mood, delay mood, and confusion mood. Those who are truly happy and content do not blame others. They do not feel like a victim. They are not confused. They do not delay things.
When you are happy and successful you are motivated. You have the fuel for moving forward.
Tell me what happens when someone appreciates you, or when someone provides a great feedback for all you have done, or when all your efforts are paid off? You feel happy, right? You feel successful, right? You feel motivated, correct?
What about when your manager is angry at you, when you do not see the results of your efforts at work, or when your suggestions are not heard? What about when you are controlled or pushed for meeting some deadlines? How would you feel? Stressed, angry, demotivated?
So, when you are not motivated you start to limit yourself. You feel down. You do not like to move forward. And therefore, success cannot be achieved.
The key is that no one can give us happiness. No one can make us truly happy but ourselves. Happiness comes from within. With happiness comes success.
The issue is that many times we look for success first. Happiness comes second in our mind. We want to be successful in order to be happy! In such case what happens when success is not achieved? We start to blame, feel like a victim, and become confused. We delay what needs to be done and even give up. And, therefore, we become unhappy. We just do not realize that the key to success is in our hands. We do not realize that what prevents us from achieving success is within us.
Being happy and successful should be our aim. Without happiness though true success is far from reach. With happiness inside, on the other hand, real success is guaranteed no matter how many challenges we face or how many times we fail.
So stay happy to claim your right for success and achieve your dreams as Happiness Is Key To Success.
