External Success Does not Mean Happiness Simple Full Guide

Do you seemingly have a successful life in your career, for example, or maybe you have a good stable job or something of that nature, something that many others would die to have, and yet you have this external success, you still feel empty.

Well let me tell you: if you relate to that then read on because I am going to explain why this is.

Whenever you have external success it doesn't mean you're going to be happy and mostly that's because of the main reason why people are still unhappy despite external successes:

They were motivated by the wrong desire.
They're not prioritising their mental health.

Let me explain.

What I mean by that is that people, when chasing success in a career or a business for example, will often use trauma to motivate them for that.

They use it in such a way where it's destructive to them, not productive, and this is not good.

This means that even despite success they still feel that emptiness inside them because it goes deeper than that. It goes to trauma.

2. They often sacrifice mental health in order to create the success.

This means they don't prioritise, for example, trauma healing, healing anxiety, and depression.

They'd often refer to it as "oh that's cringe" or something, right?

But If they just did, for example, some meditation for 5 minutes a day, if they do gratitude journaling and write down one thing they're grateful for, and do some basic exercise and get some sunlight in their eyes and eat clean day after day, and they also heal their trauma, then they would actually feel happy, right?

They should still be doing that on the journey to success also, and for the rest of their lifes, this will create more results too not just happiness.

Thank you for reading. Hope it was valuable.
