Obtaining The Success You Want is Not What Makes You Happy

What makes you happy is…

After more than four decades in this planet I have learned one or two things about what will make you happy and what definitely will not make you happy, and I can tell you for sure that the simple act or event of obtaining the success you want in life is not what actually makes you happy. Instead what makes you feel happy is how you go about obtaining the success you want in life…

What makes you feel happy is to have not ruined your health while trying to obtain the success you wanted in life…

What makes you feel happy is to have not destroyed your spiritual progress or your relationship with God, heaven or the universe (choose what you want to call it) while trying to obtain the success you wanted in life…

What makes you feel happy is to have not destroyed your relationship with your family while trying to obtain the success you wanted in life… What makes you feel happy is to have not rejected or destroyed your relationship with those loved ones and those good friends who will always love you regardless of whether you were up or down while trying to obtain the success you wanted in life…

What makes you feel happy is to have not put other people down or destroyed their future for you to obtain the success you wanted in life…

What makes you feel happy is to have lifted others or shared your knowledge, wisdom or even your riches with those who needed your help while you were trying to obtain the success you wanted in life…

What makes you feel happy in life is to have lived a life full of love, peace, joy and gratitude while you were trying to obtain the success you wanted in life.

This is what I have discovered in my more than four decades of experiencing life in this planet: Once you have experienced the joy of having obtained the success you wanted in life, you will discover that happiness is not found at the end but along the way…
