Often I find myself chasing “success” in order to find happiness with my work.  Even though I know that the pursuing success or fulfillment in work does not lead to happiness.  With that frame of mind happiness will always be an elusive goal.  I’ll be happy when… I land that client, hit this milestone, get that recognition.

As I am preparing for my session at Circles Conference, Shawn Anchor’s TED talk on The Happy Secret to Better Work is a perfect reminder to reframe my around thinking around happiness and success.  It’s not our reality that shapes us, but the lens through which we view our reality.
