H-Factor Where Is Your Heart

By Lisa Cypers Kamen, Harvesting Happiness

How do happiness and success go together? Is one dependent on the other? These are questions you may have asked yourself.

If you think of happiness as a key to success it makes things a little easier. Happiness is the key that unlocks the door of success. If you have a generally positive attitude, then it would logically follow that you would be pretty successful. What if your attitude and overall outlook is less than positive?

Does that mean that you can’t be successful? The simple answer is, no it doesn’t. You can change your attitude which will in turn change your outlook. You can learn from others who for the most part are positive people. Look for things in your life that make you happy. There is some caution, though. It is best to avoid things that are dangerous such as drinking lots of alcohol or engaging in some extreme sport like skydiving. The things to look for are not going to harm you, they will only help you. ? There are many financially successful people that are unsuccessful at living happy lives. What separates people with money and happy people with or without it are attitude and outlook.

Remember that what brings pleasure for one person may not be the same for you. Everyone is unique! It may be hard to come up with things that make you happy, but take the time to find those things and it will make your life better…and it just might make you a little more successful in whatever you are doing.

A lot of people fear the unknown and there can be a variety of reasons for this fear. Do we really need to fear the unknown, and what is the unknown?

The unknown could mean that you are afraid of uncertainty about the future. What could happen tomorrow, next week, a month from now, a year from now, etc.? You might be concerned about your job, health or something else and may have questions such as: What if I lose my job? What if my health gets worse? What if something happens to my spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend?

There is another way to look at the unknown besides fear of the future. You may be thinking of something spiritual – something that cannot be seen physically. You might question your beliefs and faith and wonder about those unknowns as well.

Often what we fear most about the unknown is that it is out of our control. Human are almost always least comfortable when we cannot control our environment or our circumstances. Guess what? Life is filled with unknowns. If we stop and think about it, we do not know more than we know.

After thinking about these things, you might ask yourself the question posed at the beginning: do we really need to fear the unknown? I believe that the simple answer is no but this could vary from person to person, and it is okay to question the unknown. Just remember that is all in what your perspective and attitude toward such things may be. If we keep our eyes on the present moment as it is the one thing we know for sure.
