Throughout my professional life I’ve talked with hundreds of people around the world from all walks of life and I’ve listened to their life stories. My impression is that only a small proportion of these people were “truly successful”, by this I mean that they were truly happy, fulfilled, at peace and financially secure.
Some were rich in their wealth yet poor in their health due to lifestyle choices. Others had many achievements but were unhappy. Some, including myself, dedicated many years of their lives to a job they actually hated. Therefore, their unhappiness stemmed from lying to themselves. Not listening to their inner voice. Some worked really hard but never seemed to see financial success. Others had great careers but at the cost of broken homes.
Be honest with yourself – Are you living a HAPPY life or a life to look happy around others?
Do you love yourself enough to ask yourself one simple question? Which is always…….. “In this moment am I happy?” And are you brave enough to listen to yourself reply?
Being true to your own ideas and values brings inner peace, which is the foundation of true success.
