Happiness is a choice. Only thing that makes you happy is choosing to be happy. Being “happy” and being “successful” are not mutually inclusive. Often they’re mutually exclusive, the most “successful” moments in my career (e.g. launching a major product or giving a big presentation to 100 people) I wasn’t happy in the moment at all. The preparation alone for these moments were super stressful. I wrote out my core values and realized being autonomous was number one for me. Even more so than being happy or money. Now I don’t worry about being happy, which in a strange way makes me happier.
