If we need to summarize the article in one quotation, we would quote Mark Twain: “The law of work seems unfair, but nothing can change it; the more enjoyment you get out of your work, the more money you will make.”
Fair or not, it is a scientifically proven fact: if you enjoy your job, you would be more successful and all the benefits (in this case money) will come with it.
It’s understandable why Twain or you thought that’s not fair. It`s common believe that a formula for success is: ,,If I work harder, I`ll be more successful. And when I`m more successful, I`ll be happier.”
In short: We think that we have to be more successful in order to be more happier.
But our brain does not work according to that definition. In fact, it works quite the opposite:
If your positivism level is increased in the present, the brain is experiencing “a happiness advantage”, which means that your brain performs significantly better in positive than in negative, neutral or stressful environment. Your intelligence performance is rising, your creativity is rising, your energy levels are rising.
At positive environment, your brain is 31% more productive and every single business outcome improves.
In short: If we can find a way of becoming positive in the present, than our brain work even more successfully as we`re able to work harder, faster and smarter.
How? Because of dopamine, which floods into your system when you are positive. It does not only makes you happier, it turns on all your learning centers allowing you to adapt to the world in a different way, to be more productive and more effective.
So if you want to be successful, find yourself a workplace that will be best fit environment. Find a job that suits your aspirations and work style. A job with a right team of people, a job with inspirational and stimulating work assignments. And all the benefits will follow…
It is fair enough, don`t you think so?
