Quote of the day:
“The man who lives for himself is a failure; the man who lives for others has achieved true success.” -- Norman Vincent Peale
Consider:
Psychologists and surveys tell us that success and happiness are what people want most out of life. But what if people had to choose between the two, happiness and success? Happiness would win, hands down! After all, what good is success if it doesn't make you happy? It's also a proven fact that the things we consider most important, we pursue the most earnestly. Why then, do so few people say they feel truly happy and fulfilled? Why don't they find what they're after? What's missing? Where do they go wrong?
The answer can usually be summed up in one word: people. When you stop and think about it, other people play an important part in any real happiness we experience. And if you will think about it some more, you will realize that our level of happiness is in part a reflection of how successful we are in our relationships with other people. So how do we succeed with people? Someone has wisely said that success in marriage depends not so much on finding the right person as being the right person, and that's true of all interpersonal relationships. Learning to get along well with others is one of the keys to happiness.
If you want to be happy, make others happy. If you want love, give love. If you want friends, be a friend. If you want real success and fulfillment in life, get busy building up others and helping them succeed; the rewards will far surpass any monetary or material success you could ever dream of. Start today!
Wishing you all the best,
