Does success lead to happiness or happiness leads to success?
I remember this box of tacks and the candle on the board experiment from one of the vids I may have seen at TED sometime.
My take though is that happiness or peace of mind will eventually lead to success - achievement of a goal or lead to solutions to a problem.
Happiness leads to a better chance of success which spirals to a better positive affect or greater happiness. But if you fail, that's I guess when the choice comes in, to choose to be happy, growth-mindset or optimism, despite the challenges.
hmmm. easier said?
Victor Frankl said something like, to take man as he should be, the ideal, and we make man better. Just like pilots when they land, they aim a little farther than the target to factor in draft (in real life, metaphorically the same as the challenges, temptations, obstacles one may face) and eventually land on target.
Be perfect like your father is perfect, or something to that effect, sounds like that, nuh?
