Are You Happy? Are You Successful?

by Alejandro Diaz

Happiness and success are two things most people fully desire, yet few have. At least most do not have happiness or success at the degree that they want it at. Happiness and success are measure differently by all of us, this is an important key. You need to really study yourself and decide exactly what would equal happiness and what do you consider successful.
Once you figure out what you want for yourself, then you have a goal to reach. You cannot get anywhere if you do not know where you are going. After you know where you want to get to, you need to draw a map so you do not get lost. Basically we are talking about making a plan full of short term goals to guide you along the way. By having short term goals that add up to eventually your ultimate goal, you get a sense of accomplishment along the way.
This will keep the fire burning inside of you and give you the confidence that you will need to get you through the hard times. So these are very basic steps to get you started on your way to being completely happy and successful.
1. Figure out what is happiness and success to you. (use the answer to set your ultimate goal)
2. Create a plan (map) from your current state to your ultimate goal. Write down specific steps that need to be accomplished (short term goals)
3. Get started NOW! You will never attain your goal if you do not take the first step. The first step to happiness and success starts today.
