This is exactly who I was! I worked in a senior management role at one of the big American tech firms. I worked hard, got two promotions, and earned a lot of money, but deep down I was miserable and had seriously dark thoughts. But I left in 2018 and have since retrained and been working outside as a gardener and tree surgeon. I earn a fraction of what I did previously but I am so happy and every day I am excited to get out of bed and get to work outside in nature. Iā€™m not saying that everyone should follow suit, but sometimes when chasing that promotion and the rewards that go with it, you can lose sight of what makes you happy.

I believe success is deeply correlated with purpose, and I think "crossing" it out of the equation definitely means that happiness won't last long

Success is not happiness. Being happy with yourself is the success

Damn I love this guy! I have no time for much of the "motivators" and "inspirational life coaches" posting their less than genuine self-help videos. But there is something about this guy that's very honest. Anyway - just my opinion šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø

Happiness is experiencing the process of success, not obtaining the success itself

The real problem is the western idea of success which is being better than other people, an idea based on individualism. True success can be achieved every day and is tied to happiness, that is being a good person every day and slightly better than yesterday. That is the ancient religious or spiritual concept of success. Progress is part of happiness but not if you confuse progress with showing you are superior to others.

It is about what you start to define as success, if you don't have to sacrifice much of happiness then they can co-exist. Seems that the amount of success you are chasing does not leave room for happiness, which just means it is just a toxic amount of success.

The problem is that nowadays there also so few ā€œsimpleā€ jobs that pay modest salaries and allow for healthy work/life balance.

being safe is better than being happy

Humans also pursue status, which seems to be very similar to success. I think there is a drive to seek this as an end, not just a means to get happiness.

Most of us donā€™t have much luck finding success or happiness - just trying to pay the billsā€¦..

Success Iā€™ve come to realise, is entirely dependent upon how you measure it

It won't cancel out because it's not of the same magnitude If u r happy before success n if u sacrifice ur happiness for it to get happiness after success , won't that happiness be of a much greater magnitude Whatever gives u happiness can be done at a larger scale which would give u more happiness Money amplifies personality n multiplies happiness

Sometimes, you will realise that contentment of the heart leads to happiness. A poor dude can be happier than a millionaire. Happiness is not tied to being rich in materials like cash. All tied to the heart. You choose happiness.
