The Secret Behind Successful People

The Happiness Index in USA indicates that only 1 in 3 Americans are happy, which conveys that around 67% of the population are unhappy. There are major reasons for people being Happy or Unhappy, it could be the economic conditions, rising debts, stress of your children, redundancy of your skills, lack of confidence... But Harris Poll proved that there is a very high correlation between the Economic Conditions and the Happiness level of the population.

Since human evolution, we have been learning to see everything in three simple forms – the past, the present and the future. As a result, entrepreneurs often envision the future as the place where goals and desires are stored – from the level of salary we wish to attain and the kind of businesses we want to earn and have, to our dream mansion and the super-cars we wish to drive.

While it’s great to be ambitious and bold, it’s also dysfunctional to postpone your happiness.

"Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present." - Jim Rohn

The question is: Are you presently happy? Or are you planning to be happy in the future after achieving the goals you've set?

The reason why we are not happy is because we are postponing our happiness.

Each time we set a Goal towards something great, we are indeed trying to postpone our Happiness, making our mind believe that we will be happy after achieving that particular objective and this is the way it has been for centuries.

You want a Ferrari? You want a bigger Mansion? You want a ... better wife?

All those goals just show that you are postponing your Happiness to when you achieve them (Future Happiness). So what about your Happiness level before achieving your goals? (Present Happiness)... And what if you never reach those goals, does it mean you will live your whole life without being Happy?
