Happy -> Success or Success -> Happy???

Success -> Happy
People working hard for money, and hopefully, they could enjoy the fruit of labour after accumulating enough wealth.

Happy -> Success
People would try to be happy by doing the things that they enjoy, and hopefully, this would lead them to some kinda success (monetarily)

I went to a talk by Ajahn Brahm today.

(As you can see, I am fan of him already)

He touched on the topic of Happy -> Success or Success -> Happy?

.
Coincidentally, I was scribbling some thoughts while i was on my way to work this morning.
Generally, people have been working so hard to reach a goal.

Needless to say, there would be a tremendous sense of joy and accomplishment when the goal is reached.

.
However, Is this joy SUSTAINABLE?

.
Do you need ANOTHER GOAL to be happy?
.
A few months ago, I was thinking if I wanted to do a GMAT or GRE. I listed out and weighted all the pros and cons of doing a MBA or MFE.

It was a tough decision until I asked myself this question:

.
Will I enjoy the journey?

.
Won’t it be nice to be able to enjoy the journey?

.
If I did not reach the destination, at least, I know that I enjoyed my journey.
That’s all that matters.

I hope I could belong to the category of “Happy -> Success”.

.
I am still learning to savour every moment of my journey.
