Your Happiness and Success...

What does being happy and being successful really mean to you? Being happy is wonderful and it is an experience that everyone should feel at one time or another. Success is great but if you cannot share it with anyone, is it really that great? If you were to ask me which I would prefer it would be a tie, you see because I want both. Happiness is a terrific feeling whether it be in family life, relationships, dating, work, etc. Success is something that takes a long time to achieve and it only seems fair that you would want that someone special to be near you when you were experiencing this. Do you have someone that you can talk to about almost anything, good or bad and know that they won't judge you, but that they will listen and respond accordingly? Happiness and success are two concepts intertwined with one another. These are two of the most important ingredients that will eventually define a person’s life. How do you want your life to be defined?

If you think about it, happiness and success are two things that are relative to a person’s point of view since these are dependent on one’s ideologies. Happiness and success relate to a target or reference point. Some people think if you are happy, you are blind to reality. Aren't we all at some point? But when we research it, happiness actually raises every single business and educational outcome for the brain. How did we miss this? Why do we have these societal misconceptions about happiness? Because we assumed you were average. Listen, don't beat yourself up...happiness is what you make of it just as success is as well. 

So... what does it mean to be successful?

A simple question but this definition can have various notations it’s all depends on individual fate and values. Nevertheless, regardless of one’s values or fate we all need money to achieve our goals.
The only thing there, is how much of it is necessary to satisfy one’s interest. If we actually think that to be successful imply that we must want money as much as we want to breathe than we might as well drown because if that’s the value we go by, than the more we have the more we are going to want. Material possessions don't buy love and they really don't keep you warm at night, do they?
Sure, we all like having really nice things but I would give it all up in a heart beat for my own true happiness. Oh, wait a minute, I did.

The truth of the matter is that the meaning of success deviates depending on the individual. However, what it means to be successful to one person may not be for the other. And for that we say success is relative to one’s goals. Whereas success for one person may be the accomplishment of a successful book which will bring him/her some income - for the next person that may not be enough. In this case the author gives more value to the knowledge that he/she has shared with the world as oppose to the money, while some may see no success in that.

Success can be as meaningful as the victory over a deadly disease, let say cancer or a severe case of diabetes. Success can also be defined as someone who has the ability to maintain his/her protocol without having to be rich as long as they’re happy. There are people in this world who are filthy rich and yet are not happy.

How do you measure success? Those who said that money is success couldn’t have been so wrong. Money is the advantage point of success; it is what one does with it that will determine how successful one is. People do not remember us because of how much money we have, but instead because of how we have influenced their lives. Lets take for example; Beyonce. She is not successful because of how much money she own. She is successful because her songs have touched the lives of many others. That makes for success and happiness. She just so happened to have a talent that attracts a lot of money, but had her talent not drawn that much money she still would have been successful for the lives that she has touched. Some people get so wrapped up in the material crap that they can't see the forest through the trees. It's a shame too. They just don't get it.

When we study people, scientists are often interested in what the average is. If we study what is merely average, we will remain merely average. Many people think happiness is genetic. That's only half the story, because the average person does not fight their genes. When we stop studying the average and begin researching positive outliers -- people who are above average for a positive dimension like optimism or intelligence -- a wildly different picture emerges. Our daily decisions and habits have a huge impact upon both our levels of happiness and success.

 Happiness may breed success. A person may say that he is happy because he just finished his studies or he just met a fine woman. A person may say he is successful because he was just promoted to a higher position. When one talks about happiness and success, a certain goal or perhaps an achievement is always the reference point. A person will constantly ask himself if he is happy or if he can consider himself successful. Many people become depressed because they cannot seem to make sense of all the things that are happening in their lives. The most important thing to remember, when evaluating your happiness and success, is that you need to limit your assessment using your own personal standards. Often times, depression comes about because people rely so much on the expectations of others. Oftentimes, the workplace becomes a battleground wherein people live their lives according to the expectations of other people. Then, on the flip side, there are some people who want you to fail. It is because of this type that makes me push myself even harder to succeed. People that wish you unhappiness, in so many words, or thought, are not your friends.

Again, happiness and success depend on your own views. What I think happiness is may not at all be what you envision it to be.It really depends on one’s ideologies.The only thing that we can infer from these two concepts is that these are mutually intertwined. One can say that success brings happiness and happiness is an essential ingredient towards success (i.e. Being happy with one’s work will bring beautiful fruits of labor). Yes, this is true. Some are happy to see us fail. No one fails if they try, so remember that next time someone laughs at you for a great idea that you have and remember that you had the balls to at least give it a try. Enough said?

Happiness and success are two things that all people aspire for in life. There can never be a single definition for both of these concepts. Even dictionaries wouldn’t dare give exact definitions for these words. I dunno...Perhaps, only the human heart can define these concepts. You will know when you are happy or when you can call yourself successful if your heart says so. What is your heart telling you?
