We often think that the grass will be greener somewhere else, a better job, or quick fixes taking the easy route, taking powdery “meal replacements”, “lose 2 stone in 2 weeks” type of places.
We believe we’ll be happier and more successful anywhere but where we are.
And so we pursue happiness.
And chase success.
Thinking one day we will magically find them. But rarely will we find find happiness and success by seeking them, and forgetting what we know in going after them.
I’ve learned if you want success you can’t chase it.
Instead you must decide to make a difference where you are, and success will find you, whatever your field and whatever you want to get better at.
I’ve learned if you want to find happiness don’t seek it
Instead decide to work with passion and purpose, and happiness will find you.
Happiness comes from feeling fulfilled.
The key to experiencing real success and true happiness is to grow yourself, become more and then you can show what you are really capable of.
We have many leaders at the gym, who have become more than they ever thought, and they have become a massive positive influence on others, for which i am continuously grateful for.
Too many people want instant success and gratification right now. Too many use short term methods to lose weight for example, and have 5 minutes looking lighter, then pile ALL the weight back on and more which causes long term misery and frustration.
Too many employees complain that their co-workers aren’t working hard enough and this affects their own performance, instead of becoming better themselves.
Too many people worry about what everyone else is doing instead of focusing on what they are doing. Too many people run from challenges instead of developing stronger roots and belief in that they are doing is right.
If you are like me, you’ve been one of these people. Most of us have at one time or another. It’s human nature after all to want to become better, but there’s doing it the right way and the short term fix that will never work.
That’s why I want to encourage you to remember that your job is not to worry about things you can’t control. The scale doesn’t matter, your clothes fitting you better matters, your ever improving performance matters, how you feel matters, how fulfilled you are matters, the compliments you have matter and deep down knowing you are really improving matters.
Your job is to be yourself each day, and be the best you can be and bring out the best in others.
Your job is to grow yourself and grow others.
When you do this and allow yourself to be used for a greater purpose, a greater purpose will move through you and bring greater opportunities, greater success and greater joy and happiness to you.
The greenest pasture is not somewhere else that promises quick fixes in crazy short periods of time. It’s the place where you plant yourself and grow into the leader you were born to be. When you do, you’ll produce amazing results filled with real success and true happiness.
