Not too easy that you may buy anywhere, but not too
difficult that you won’t have ever: happiness. For people in general, the pursuit of
happiness takes a big part of their lives, and yet it is often motivated by the
existence of sadness, sorrow or any type of negative state of mind.
Because of that, people often look for happiness from external
sources like a good job, an excellent college study or good health. However, happiness is more a question of
perception, attitude and perspective than the situation in itself; this is why
you can look behind and see happier days, even though resources were scarce.
For a leader’s point of view, everything gives you happiness or shows
you a path towards happiness, no matter the circumstances as he or she bases happiness
on an inner state.
That gives leaders strength to change the bad into good,
waste into best and a bad reality into a wonderful challenge. So, she or he does need to go through
sadness, as there is always something to be happy about.
(Excerpt from the book 82 Reasons to be a Leader)
