Connect with Successful People

First
we need to define success
·
I
see the Dalai Lama as an example of a Successful person

·
Harvard
Professor Tal Ben-Shahar says that the ultimate currency is
·
Happiness
·
Not
the dollar, so by this definition, the most successful is…
·
the
happiest individual
·
But
we must also emphasize that
·
Happy
people are more successful than the rest
·
They
are more productive, earn more, are healthier, live longer
·
I
would say that you need to surround yourself with happy people
·
Because
even if for some it is not clear whether there is causation or
·
Correlation
between happiness and success, even taking the second look
·
We
still need to connect with happy people
Here I take the approach that You can make those around You
More successful, indeed, among the most accomplished individuals
anywhere!!
·
This
is where I would say that you can teach those around you about…
·
Success
·
Because
teaching others is the best way to learn
·
They
will become happier, ergo more successful
·
This
will come back to you
·
In
a virtuous spiral
·
Both
you and those near you will get ever happier aka more successful

·
If
you broaden and Pay It Forward
·
You
will also Perform Acts of Kindness
·
One
of the most “selfish acts”
·
Because
it should increase wellbeing around
·
And
within yourself!!
·
On
the road to Success and while Connecting with Successful People
·
Remember
to enjoy the ride!!
·
Again:
share this insight with your friends and entourage
·
We
forget about the present, engaged in a rat race or
·
The
Hedonic Treadmill

·
How
to Connect with Successful People
·
Find
your calling
·
You
and the Group
·
You
need to identify
·
What
you are good at, what you like and what has meaning for you

·
Another
important aspect of Success is reaching Optimal Experiences
·
On
a daily basis, once you have made your Calling the “job” you do every day
·
The
occupation you love

·
Briefly
the conditions necessary for Being in the Zone are:
1. “Goals
are clear
2. Feedback
is immediate
3. A
balance between opportunity and capacity
4. Concentration
deepens
5. The
present is what matters
6. Control
is no problem
7. Sense
of time is altered
8. The
loss of ego”
·
To
use the definition of Kant
·
I
would say that The Categorical Imperative could be seen as
·
The
ideal of success

·
This
would of course lead to thoughts about the planet
·
Success,
consumerism, climate change and ultimately the end of the earth as we know it
·
Or
altogether?
·
It
may sound paradoxical, but thoughts of higher things lead to…
·
Greater
happiness

·
One
of the rules of Happiness aka Success is
·
Taking
care of your body and soul
·
Distinguish
between those who see success as perfection
·
And
the others, who are simply happy with excellence

·
many
will see Trump as the epitome of success
·
He
has the most powerful job in the world, allegedly

·
For
even here there would be caveats
·
He
does not seem to have the power to
·
Control
his tweeter frenzy and
·
Let’s
just stick to happiness, because that is the lens I am using here-
·
He
is unhappy
·
To
conclude
·
The
level of democracy in your country is crucial

·
And
the places with the most successful people are those with the…
·
Happiest
people!! quod erat demonstrandum
