success

before you can achieve success you need to define what success means to you. unless you have a clear vision of what success means you cannot work towards it.
success means different things to different people. for some, monetary reward is a measure of success. however success can be in career, health, spiritual, emotional, time or financial. as an example one can be successful in one's career but not emotionally. the list isn't exhaustive--so you can add areas that are relavant to you.
to me, to find your own defination of success you need to look deep within yourself and question your values in life. what are your strengths and weaknesses? what are the things that are upmost important to you? so by answering these questions you can come closer to your own defination of success. but beware, this can be a long process. remember that success is a journey not a destination. one success builds on another, and setbacks and mistakes help you build success.
it is very inspiring to read what success people say about success just to give you confidence to overcome the many challenges and succeed. unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow.
so believe in yourself ! have faith in your abilities ! anyone who has not made a mistake has never tried anything new.
so give your best to not regret later. don't ever judge each day by the harvest you reap but more so by the seeds you plant. all life is an experiment.
you may be disappointed if you fail but you are doomed if you don't try. the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

happiness

happiness is emotion in which one experiences feelings ranging from contentment and satisfaction to bliss and intense joy. it is impossible to objectively measure happiness.
true happiness can only come from a relationship with God and appreciating God's creation His sake and not its own. there is now extensive research suggesting that religious people are happier and less stressed, more well-being and full of self-esteem.
you will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. you will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life. be caution, success is not the key to happiness. happiness is the key to success. if you love what you are doing you will be successful.
happiness belong to the self-sufficient. happiness is also having a loving, caring, close-knit family. there is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved in return. whoever is happy will make others happy too. happiness is also not so much in having as in sharing. we make a living by what we get but most importantly we make a life by what we give. wisdom is the supreme part of happiness and independence is happiness.
so learn to communicate more deeply, effectively and compassionately.
for everything there is a season and a time for every matter under heaven!
