To many people, happiness equates with NOT doing anything. To me, it means doing something fun and worthwhile. Guilla: Sorry to hit you on the head. Again :o) Craig: Exactly - way too few people love their jobs. Probably because we've been conditioned to think that "work is tough, that's why you get paid!" Let's change that, huh? Thomas: That is such a great point. Way too many people think that happiness lies at the other end of achievement or goals or relationships or ... It makes much more sense to be happy first and THEN go for whatever you want! Andy: "Right now is all there is." I like it! Modern: Yeah, it resonated with me too.

Craig: Exactly – way too few people love their jobs. Probably because we’ve been conditioned to think that “work is tough, that’s why you get paid!” Let’s change that, huh?

Thomas: That is such a great point. Way too many people think that happiness lies at the other end of achievement or goals or relationships or … It makes much more sense to be happy first and THEN go for whatever you want!

Andy: “Right now is all there is.” I like it!

I'm finding that realising that Right Now is all there is, and focusing on being the best I can be in the current moment is really helping to lift my mood level. All the best, Andy Baird Cash.

In my mind and experience happiness is normal state inside each of us that most of us have disconnected from, because we think and have been trained and conditioned by society that "something" HAS to happen before we can feel happy... not so (for me)! FIRST feel happy THEN do what you love! The other way around will put you in internal stressloop where happiness is sought for 'on the outside' - where there will forever only be temporary gratification - some traditions call it 'a bottomless hole in the ego' you can try to fulfill your whole life with little more than temporary succes... auch... :) I know this was maybe way too deep, and I do understand the positive intend with the rhyme and respect that - I'm just pointing out the elusive obvious :) Whatever you call it, it was my two cents right here before the weekend - enjoy yours!

Simple, but too often, it doesn't happen. The vast majority of people don't love going to work each day. Tragic. If you're passionate about what you do, you're more likely to help create a successful business, more likely to stay focused and more likely to remain healthy, happy and positive.. all good stuff. Don't tolerate work, celebrate it. Love what you do!

The other thing at work that would make you happy is loving what you do... this post hits me in the head yet again... I guess the time will come when I will be able to work where I can actually get to practice these two things that you posted about: achievement and loving what you do... I totally agree.

I find it to be SO very true in every minute of every day. Work is much more a source of accomplishment than relaxation =) A quote I’ve found myself increasingly crafting my work life around is “love what you do, always”
