“Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.” -Herman Cain
Isn’t it amazing how so many of us had it backwards, when we thought we would be happy when we become successful? When it fact being happy with what one is doing is the key to success!
Fortunate are those who have “found their calling”, where their talents and energy are spent doing what they love to do (i.e. they get into a flow) that they also believe to be worthwhile (i.e. meaningful).
“Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life.” –Confucius

However, for those of us whose circumstances do not allow the above ideal, love your job anyway. Remember that being happy is a personal decision and is not dependent on externals. So start it right…decide to love your job and be happy at what you do and success is not far. This would create a positive upward spiral that would attract more of the things you love and less of what you like least.
