Srikumar Rao: Why do we put IF before hapiness?

"Happiness is the single true purpose in life" (Aristotel)

Aristotel is right, because everything we do we do it in pursuit of happiness, everything else: money, carrier, love, family are ways not purposes.

What Srikumar Rao says is that happiness is part of us, that is very hard to not be happy, it is in our nature to  be happy. Well, in that case why are we most of the time miserable? Because we always put "if" before happiness.

Inspiration comes from actions. He is Matt.You probably herd of him, because his dance is famous.

Dancing mean joy, you should do everything that makes you happy, because happiness is the single engine to success, not vice-versa.

Shawn Achor: Happiness is the engine, not the goal

You work more, you have more success, you get to be happy... WRONG. Shawn Achor says this formula is wrong and I agree. If we put happiness after the success, we will never be happy or we will be for a very short period of time, because our expectations of success increase all the time, with every success we attain.

We have to put happiness in front of all, because happiness is the engine to success... so we have to reverse the formula. How can we be happy before being successful? Well, the secret is to always live in the present.
