A Nobel Prize Winner’s Advice on How to Achieve Success

Hey it’s Deep.

I’m inspired by this quote from Albert Schweitzer which goes:

"Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful."

It’s a good one.

Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965) dedicating over 40 years of his life to treating the sick and underprivileged. In 1952, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his philosophy of "Reverence for Life."

That quote challenges the conventional school of thought that success leads to happiness.

Instead, he thinks that finding joy in your pursuits is the true path to success. The other way around.

If this idea resonates with you, see how we apply this wisdom to our daily lives:

1. Identify Your Passions:

Take time to reflect on what truly excites you. What activities make you lose track of time?

2. Redefine Success:

Instead of external metrics, measure success by your level of engagement and fulfillment.

3. Practice Gratitude:

Keep a daily gratitude journal, focusing on aspects of your work or life that bring you joy.

4. Mindful Engagement:

When working, fully immerse yourself in the task. Slow down and appreciate the details.

How to Implement and Maintain This Habit:

1. Start Small: Begin with 5 minutes of reflection each day on what brings you joy. Schedule this in you calendar.

2. Celebrate Small Wins: Acknowledge every time you choose happiness-driven actions over solely success-driven ones.

3. Regular Review: Every month, assess if your actions align with what truly makes you happy. Adjust as needed.

By consistently practicing these habits, you'll be living Schweitzer's philosophy: pursuing success through the lens of happiness and love for what you do.

I’m starting to believe more and more than true success isn't just about numbers or accolades.

It's about finding fulfillment and joy in the journey.
