Be the Best.... Tony Gattari
Your ability to achieve your own happiness is the key measure of your
success.
The key to happiness is this - dedicate yourself to the development of
your natural talents and abilities by doing what you love to do, and
doing it better and better in the service of a cause that is greater
than yourself.
This is a big statement and a big commitment. Being happy requires that
you define your life in your own terms and then throw your whole heart
into living your life to the fullest. In a way, happiness requires that
you be perfectly selfish in order to develop yourself to a point where
you can be unselfish for the rest of your life.
In Edmond Rostand’s play
Cyrano de Bergerac, Cyrano is asked why he is so intensely
individualistic and unconcerned with the opinions and judgments of
others. He replies with these wonderful words: “I am what I am because
early in life I decided that I would please at least myself in all
things.”
Your happiness likewise depends upon your ability to please at least
yourself in all things. You can be happy only when you are living your
life in the very best way possible. No one can define happiness for you.
Only you know what makes you happy. Happiness is an inside job.
The biggest myth about happiness is when people say that it is not
legitimate or correct for you to put your happiness ahead of everyone
else’s. Throughout my life, I’ve met people who have said that it is
more important to make other people happy than it is to make yourself
happy. This is nonsense.
The fact is that you can’t give away to anyone else what you don’t have
for yourself. Just as you can’t give money to the poor if you don’t have
any, you can’t make someone else happy if you yourself are miserable.
The very best way to assure the happiness of others is to be happy
yourself and then to share your happiness with them. Suffering and
self-sacrifice merely depress and discourage other people. If you want
to make others happy, start by living the kind of life and doing the
kind of things that make you happy.
Your 3 step action plan
First, define for yourself the activities that you really love and
enjoy, at home and work, and then organize your life so you do more of
them.
Second, believe in yourself and trust your own feelings. Then, please at
least yourself in all things.
Third, determine what it is that you do that brings the most happiness
to others and then organize your life so that you can do more of it.
