Happiness and success

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

Learn how to be happy with what you have
while you pursue all that you want.
Jim Rohn

Happiness is a mindset tied into expectations and attitudes. There have been days when I wake up expecting a bad day . . . and that is what I get. On other days, I expect to be happy and content . . . even bad circumstances don't get me down resulting in a fabulously happy day.

The difference is expectations and attitudes.

Success is not a destination, it’s a journey.
Zig Ziglar 

Choice, not circumstances, determines your success.

Isn't happiness a choice that leads to success?

Although I believe in luck, fate and all of that, I also believe we make our own success and failures.

Isn't our perception of success and failure a mindset?

In my opinion, success comes from satisfaction and there is no greater satisfaction than loving what you do. Some choose a career merely for the money, others for the job satisfaction. Those doing what they love will perceive a greater success due to the joy associated with what they are doing.
