Feeling it, Friday? Because Even Happiness Requires Some Work

“Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it. You must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it.”

–Elizabeth Gilbert

Are we swimming in the upward currents of happiness? I think it’s an essential question to ask ourselves. Too often, I believe, we become susceptible to negativity in our businesses. We compare ourselves to others and believe that they are doing better than I. We stop ourselves from doing a project because we’ve seen another version of it out there. We don’t go after a client because they seem out of our reach.

It’s time to put an end to this doubt.

I challenge you to become happier in your business, as simple as it may sound. I challenge you to fight for the happiness you deserve everyday and to put the negativity behind you. You’ve made it this far and I believe there is something bigger right about the corner.

Fight for your business.
Strive for your business.
Insist for your business.
And travel for your business, if you need to.

Whatever you do, just find happiness in it. Happy Friday!
