Success vs Happiness.

Success is a mind game whereas happiness is a state of mind. Can somebody then pursue happiness and feel successful at the same time? That requires that this person perceives success as happiness and feels happy about it. Acute usage of your senses can help you find an equilibrium in your life between both of them. As success requires professional dedication, happiness requires healthy and comfortable living. Finding the balance between the two is the most important task of living.
Anybody can argue this theory or even find it nonsense, however every day ‘happy- fake’ people unsuccessful most of the times in terms of professional goals, blame ‘successful’ people for being happy with their jobs and only with their jobs.

Feeling guilty about your professional success makes you seek happiness somewhere else that your job career, somewhere that you are not interested to look for, or even somewhere that you already feeling successful, as for example family life.
My answer to all comes down to one thing. The perspective of life (state of mind) that the ‘happy’ person blames the successful one. This perspective belongs to a happy person, a not successful one!!!
