“Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.”
–Albert Schweitzer
How many people do we know that have spent much of their life striving for what they thought was “success” only to be left unfulfilled and miserable? It’s important to be well compensated for what you do, but doing what you love is even more critical.
The top 10% of people in any field make the most money. The rest usually just get by week to week as they struggle to make ends meet. But those who are excellent at what they do often reach financial freedom and deep fulfillment. Working hard is not enough, we must be focused on doing the very best we can within the industry we have chosen to work within. If you are not happy where you are, first see if it’s the industry or the financial rewards. If it’s the industry then it may be time for a change of venue. If it’s the finances then perhaps you need to get it together and raise the bar on your level of performance.
Either way, you can reflect on the past but you must change the future. Evaluate where you are and why and then take the steps necessary to ensure your happiness and financial future.
