Have you ever wondered what’s the most likely day of the week
to die of a heart attack? It’s Monday between the hours of 7am and 9am the time
the average person gets ready to go to a job they hate. Coincidence I think
not. It’s time to take control, stop buying into the lies that society has told
you about how you should work and when you should work. Don’t get caught up in
being overworked, unappreciated with money woes and family issues.
Many have been taught that if you work hard, you will be successful, and
then you’ll be happy. If you can just find that great job, get a raise, lose
those five pounds, happiness will follow. But recent discoveries in the field
of positive psychology have shown that this formula is actually backward:
happiness fuels success, not the other way around.
What if you could just reconcile the fact that happiness in what you do increases
your success rate and not hard work alone. Harvard Professor Shaun Achor in recent
studies has been able to prove that 75% of job success can be predicted not by
how smart or talented you are but by how happy you are. His research states
that when you’re happy your intelligence and creativity rise along with your
productivity which in turn enables you to Make More Money and live
longer too.
Always
remember when you change the way you look at things the things you look at
change. Anything you want that is valuable in life requires you to break
through short term pain in order to gain long term pleasure. Short term pain
has more impact on most people than long term benefits. Which is why it’s so
important to amplify the long-term benefits of not quitting.
A
lot of what is most beautiful about the world arises from struggle. Learn to
embrace change, wrestle with all its challenges and reap the reward of an
abundant life.
