Keep the mind happy, it leads to success

It is said that generally happiness can lead you in the direction of success, then it is up to you to apply your skills, knowledge, faith, and especially work, to materialize your goals. Happiness is also a great benefit of achieving those goals. Essentially if you start with happiness, and work on materializing your goals, with faith in your capacity to succeed. You are looking at a surefire way of reproducing happiness.

Happiness derives a lot from self-confidence, which is certainly necessary to achieve success. Happiness also effects your motivation and especially discipline, without either of these things the work will never be accomplished that is necessary for you to reach your goals. Happiness is of course the broad word used to express faith in your capacity to succeed, and the work ethic and discipline to do so.

We’ve been taught that if we work hard, we will be successful, and then we’ll be happy. If we can just find that great job, get a raise, lose those five pounds, happiness will follow. But recent discoveries in the field of positive psychology have shown that this formula is actually backward: happiness fuels success, not the other way around. When we are positive, our brains become more engaged, creative, motivated, energetic, resilient, and productive. This discovery has been repeatedly supported by research in psychology and neuroscience, management studies, and the bottom lines of organizations around the world.

Be it love,success,friendship,parenthood or anything that you can imagine, where mostly people are involved. The negativity has been spread so intensely,that now a days we are afraid of making friends, getting into relationships, because we are afraid of being hurt or experiencing loss. But that is the part of the story. Why, everywhere even in movies and all,only the bad part is intensified. My suggestion is to ignore this stuffs and be free to mingle and giggle.Not everyone will make you happy, but be strong enough to face the bad part of life.That too with smile on the face.

Happiness is a state of mind. Success is a higher level of happiness. Success changes your overall lifestyle. The perspective of success is different from person to person. But to a certain extent, happiness is same for everyone. You can think of happiness and success as analogous to weather and climate. Happiness is mostly independent of success but the vice versa is not true. A happy man need not be successful. He may feel sadness, bitterness and cold later on. Similarly, a successful man need not be happy always. Since happiness occurs at a given time interval, basic necessities are enough for happiness.

But speaking statistically, a successful man is more likely to be happy on a given day/time, than an unsuccessful man. This, I feel, is the only factor that connects the two. But this connection is of utmost importance nevertheless. This connection is why you think of this when you think of a successful man - like my first thought is that it’s the other way ‘round - success can lead to happiness. That one’s a no-brainer.

You can also be happy without success. There are people who peacefully smile no matter what goes wrong. Can you have success without being happy? The world is full of miserable people considered successful by peers or society. Which leaves the question ‘Does happiness lead to success?’ Intrinsically, no - happiness does not automatically produce success. It did strike me, however, that the general products of happiness - more positive views on situations and life, improved brain function and efficiency, higher energy levels, heightened senses, stronger self confidence and esteem, better relations with the people around you, etc. - could help propel you to success. From that perspective, happiness should produce more positive results in our endeavors.

Psychologists Edward and Carol Diener of the University of Illinois, Urbana, who also study happiness set points, found that for events like being promoted or losing a lover, most of the effect on people's mood is gone by three months, and there's not a trace by six months ." Research done in Minnesota on identical twins resulted in this assessment "At least in Minnesota, it (happiness) appears to bear almost no statistical relation to education, income, professional achievement, marital status or any other quality that should affect it in a just universe.

The point is not only that some people are happy in spite of boring, dead-end, low-status jobs and no money; it's that they have almost the exact same chance of being happy as do, say, university professors, journalists or billionaires. Our true success is when we are living every moment of our life, when we love whatever we are doing, when we are not tired with the working days and when we no longer wait for the weekends. Do what you love and love whatever you are doing. Chase happiness rather than success and if you are happy then you are successful in life. Cheers!
