Don't get it wrong, success is not happiness

Success in the sense of the word and the meaning we understand today is not achieved without sacrifices and hard work. The world we live in does not make things easy for us. If we want to be successful in life, we need to strive harder and work harder. We should always keep in mind that success is not happiness, but it will serve as a means to achieve the goals we plan to achieve in life.

And since success is not happiness, we need to understand that all the things that will make us successful are not pleasant things. We have to accept that there may be negative consequences or results that come with achieving our goals, but these are the consequences that are considered acceptable. They are the consequences that are of paramount importance for us because they are part of our dreams of becoming successful, of course, with the goal of achieving success quickly.

Success is not happiness. Do you ever feel like everything in your life is right? You have a great job, you make a decent salary, you have enough money to get everything you need, you are in good health, have a good family and friends, but still do not get that feeling of happiness? It's because success is not happiness.

The myth is that happiness comes by itself, material happiness lasts only 90 days and is scientifically proven. The truth is that after the new cars, houses, we are not happy. Science offers three main reasons for this.

The first reason relates to priorities. The second one deals with the fact that external things coming our way distract us from what's really important in life. The external things require our full attention to take care of them and then they are gone. The third reason has to do with expectations, which are then born out of the first two reasons

Inner happiness and a state of mind is what true happiness is, a feeling of satisfaction that our lives have meaning, doing the right things that add real value to ourselves and to others. It is a feeling we get by focusing on the personal development of our intellect, emotions, spirituality and body. We need to get out of the deceptive environment and the waiting process, we need to create an opportunity to active.

How often do we hear that someone is looking for happiness, that he cannot find it, that he is not happy, that he does not have a good destiny or karma? Happiness is an inner satisfaction that depends on our emotional well-being, and is found in the sense of understanding the world and everything that happens around us. Achieving the goal is not the happiness, but a moment of success, the very path we are on is a success, if we do what we love our life will be successful and happy.

Happiness is the enthusiasm we feel, we can choose this situation to be a normal and important part of daily life, it is a decision that will give us great success and success because good energy attracts good events and people and our lives. It is important to understand that we form our own destiny, that we can change everything, that we can achieve everything we want, in the essence of everything there is good faith and love and emotion.

Our society tends to devalue people who do not reach material goals, because it does not want to see the intrinsic values of people. This is wrong because the pursuit of happiness is an inner process that requires solitude.

Compassion in society is equated with materialism in the mind, and this in turn leads to a lack of appreciation in society in general, and in individuals in particular. Those who pursue happiness and fulfillment through non-material means will be left feeling isolated and unwanted.

To be happy, we need to keep ourselves from getting bogged down by our worldly affairs. As a means of achieving happiness, we need to be careful of what we can control and what we cannot. In this case, what we cannot control is our material possessions. It's the society's obsession with material objects that it causes us to continue to seek happiness.

The key to happiness is to find your own version of contentment and to take pleasure in life. Find out what your top priorities are and how to structure your day to spend the right amount of time on meaningful activities that you enjoy. Life is such a precious gift, and getting truly happy is up to you to take ownership of what you want to make of it.

Conclusion

We will never find true happiness and fulfillment by living within the boxes of our society or religion, or by putting our faith in people, organizations or companies that promise us instant and automatic financial abundance. It is through finding our inner contentment and expressing that without fear, through devotion to doing what we love, that we can attain the richness of true contentment and happiness.

Happiness is found in a state of balance, in being happy and joyful for others and for ourselves. It is not created out of materialism, or in the pursuit of happiness, but the anticipation of happiness, the joy that comes from being in service to the people we love and to creating a life for ourselves that we love to live.

A very enlightening article I got to read just because of you, the things said by you were very rational and also you even mentioned the scientific reasons that were fantastic. And one thing I would also like to add that where you said that even when you have all things your family, friends and other things you need but still feel unhappy is it is also true that sometimes when you have all the material things but you lack the emotional connection with that someone special to who you can share everything, sometimes to achieve these material things which society has fixed criteria to be definitely achieved to be regarded as successful we lost some great relationships in the process too. At last, I must say that now in this 21st century where people are having much awareness and many rational thinkings we must as a society needs to change this fixed criteria of being successful.

Ohh, today I was thinking about that, that they are very close to one of the others ahah. And look, it happened to you. When I'm on the phone, I wait for the web to load well and the menu to show well, to avoid that confusion. I'm glad you decided to let him. The comment is worth it anyway. A hug.

Success is not happiness. It's about the things you work hard for, the efforts, the time you spend in order to achieve the word success. It's the truly meaning of success on how you surpass all the things to be our own settings with success.

In life, there will be no easy. We need to strive and be braver. You need to response an action, don't be still but you need to explore in order to learn and in order to grow. Success is part on it.

I agree with all that you’ve said in your article, success is not happiness,I saw some people who are academically,materially and even have a good life but still find their hearts empty,and still seek for something that cannot understand what it is.It is within us that we can truly define happiness by not basing on our achievement ,material possession of life situations.

Contentment is the happiness. Indeed, you can be successful in life but if you are not contented on it, still you can't find the happiness on it
