THE SECRET TO HAPPINESS, CONFIDENCE AND SUCCESS
“With happiness and confidence comes success. However the reverse is not true, success does not necessarily bring happiness and confidence.”
Success is a much desired outcome and identity throughout the world. There is a perception that success means that happiness and confidence are now your rewards. Success is often measured by wealth, and wealth surely buys happiness … doesn’t it?
Whilst success will buy you happiness maybe true for relationships, again it will depend on the people you are seeking to have relationships with. And past a certain point ($75,000/annum) money will not buy you exponential happiness. There is a ceiling to how much outside ‘things’ and people can make you happy.
“Happiness is a skill we must learn, nurture and create from within.”
In order for success to be achieved, a degree of confidence must be in place, because to be successful in life you have to be confident and be able to go out there and make things happen. Confidence is about the ability to believe you can do something. This is as true if success is measured by the people in your life or the money in your bank. In order to make friends you have to believe you can, and in order to make money you have to believe you can – whether that’s believing you can get a job, to believing you can create something people want to buy, to believing you can start a business and succeed.
However confidence is not the only ingredient required. Confidence may get you your foot in the door but it does not follow that the door will stay open, that you will make a success of the opportunity, or that it is even the ‘right’ opportunity you help you achieve success.
The secret to happiness, confidence and success?
In essence you should never wait for success in order to start to feel happy and confident. Rather the reverse. Start practising happiness and developing confidence in who you are and how your life is today, and from that build your dream and create your version of success. Only then will you feel rich in life and love regardless of material things, and you will enjoy the journey and not just the destination.
