When I created this podcast and called it Chasing Success, I wanted it to be somewhat ironic. In the intro of the show, there is a quote, "Chasing Success without Sacrificing Happiness." The reason I chose to include this phrase was because I think there is a misnomer that to be successful you must sacrifice happiness. I wholeheartedly disagree with this statement and have proof with the works of Shawn Achor's research of the "Happiness Advantage." We are not happier when we gain success but we are happier when we see the journey to success as a method of happiness.
Often quote but never given credit, Shawn Achor states (as I paraphrase), "we tend to say "I'll be happy when...I reach this level. Only to reach that level and move the milestone of happiness."
I want this podcast to deliver the misconceptions and provide ways for people to start enjoying the journey. Why? Because, ironically, when you shift the model from being successful will make me happy to be happy will make me successful, we begin to explore ways to find joy and reap the reward.
