When Will You Be Happy?

Will you be happy when you get that raise you deserve?  Will you be happy when that project at work is finally completed?  Will you be happy when you get that new car, or maybe the new job.

Brian Tracy says that only 15% of your happiness comes from your life's achievements and 85% come from your relationships with other people.  

Happiness is not a goal; 
it is a by-product.
- Eleanor Roosvelt

If this is true, that promotion, or new car will only be a temporary fix.  You will be looking for another 'fix' very soon.  If you concentrate on using your life's achievements to make you happy, you are going to be unhappy 85% of the time!  

Happiness is inward, and not outward; 
and so, it does not depend on what we have, 
but on what we are.
- Henry Van Dyke



Take an inward look into what is driving you.  How important are the relationships in your life?  Happiness, like 'Life', is a journey.  The things that make you happy today will change tomorrow.  You will find a way to solve today's problems, and they will no longer make you unhappy.  And the journey will continue......

- Joe Freeman

He who has so little knowledge of human nature 
as to seek happiness by changing anything 
but his own disposition 
will waste his life away in fruitless efforts.
- Samuel Johnson
