 Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing you will be successful. Albert Schweitzer by Skip Cohen I'm trying to get in the habit of keeping Hump Day posts short and to the point. When I read the quote above, it hit me how many people I've met who are missing the most essential ingredient in their careers: happiness. Everyone measures success differently, but the common denominators seem to always include fame and fortune. But if you're not happy, then neither matter. As I got older, focusing on success wasn't as important as just being happy. And being happy is EVERYTHING. Lou Mitchell, along with the quote above, wrote, Are you pursuing what you love, or are you chasing external markers of success? How can you incorporate more joy and passion into your daily life? If you're not waking up in the morning energized for whatever's on your schedule for the day, it's time to step back and figure out what's missing. Don't forget that you don't have to figure it out alone - this is where a spouse or a good friend can play a key role in helping you with whatever pieces you're missing in finding happiness in whatever career path you've shown. Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.
