Happiness

The happiest people I know are the ones that have a Bull’s Eye for their business life that is in alignment with the Bull’s Eye for their personal life.

I was speaking to a business audience in Warwick recently when one delegate asked how I go about finding that happiness.
Well at work, what makes people happy is being able to deploy the synergy that exists between their professional expertise and their human traits. It doesn’t matter whether you are a great accountant, a wizard at IT, a marketing maverick or an engineer ‘exceptionelle’.

Whatever you are, there is your personality, the way you deploy your four types of energy, your preference for being reactive or proactive with the 168 hours per week at your disposal. There is your behaviour, your intelligence, the way you think, your experience and knowing the difference between complexity and simplicity.
It is this combination that makes the unique and special contribution that you bring to your work. It’s a feeling that you are being the best you can be, almost that you have found what you are meant to be doing on this planet.
If this can be aligned with whatever is going on at home, then many people would say that this is their version of ‘living the dream’.

And why not indeed?
