Success is not Happiness. Happiness is Success

Every human being on earth wants to be happy. There is nobody who enjoys pain. People want to achieve happiness but they fail to realize that happiness is the journey itself, not the destination. Then

If Success was Happiness 

     Then achievers would be glad 

  But look around and you will find 

       That many of them are sad 

   Of course, Achievement gives joy 

        And excitement, oh boy! 

 But when our need becomes our greed 

        To misery, this will lead 

  The whole world is chasing Success 

     Everyone wants achievement 

Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose 

        There is no Contentment 

   Why do people want to succeed?  

       Why is everyone in a race? 

   The Truth is that we want to win 

  So that there is a smile on our face 

           But though we win, we are not glad 

            We have money, why are we sad?  

         Happiness is not money, the sages said 

        It's sleeping soundly when you are in bed 

       We hear of suicides in the homes of the rich 

       If they were Happy, then why this glitch?  

    Although they are achievers, this fact we know 

       They are not Happy, their face has no glow 

      If successful, but unhappy, what is the use?  

     Winning or smiling, what would you choose?  

       The purpose of Success is for us to be glad 

     What is the use of winning, if it makes us sad?  

       Happiness is something different, we learn 

         Not just money that we earn and burn 

      Happiness is built on a foundation of peace 

       Then we are blissful like waves in the seas 

        Look around at the people who are glad 

      They live in the moment, they are never sad 

      They don't swing from the future to the past 

        They are the ones whose Happiness lasts 

        Happiness has no price tag, know this my friend 

         It's a state of mind where nothing can offend 

            It's being able to smile, and able to laugh 

           Not just trying to raise our Success graph 

           We can't measure joy in dollar and pound 

                Happy is he who peace has found 

              Though we may fly the world around 

               We may be miserable on the ground 

      Success is not Happiness, this Truth we must know 

    We may have everything, what's the use of this show?  

                   The truly successful one is he 

             Who lives with smile, laughter, and glee 

           If one is Happy, then one has achieved all 

         One doesn't have to be rich and in fame be tall 

             One can have little, but if content is he  

                     Then he can live joyously 

                                      

       Achievement gives Happiness, this fact we know 

But with Fulfilment and Contentment, does Happiness grow 

             One who is Happy, doesn't need to win 

         He has Peace and Joy without committing sin               

          Joy doesn't need a foundation of cash 

     One doesn't have to be rich, to enjoy life's bash 

         Happiness is a simple state of the mind  

 It comes from being loving, it comes from being Kind 

     Happiness is Success. It is achieving life's goal 

  It is being Happy in the heart, Peaceful in the Soul 

  True Happiness is eternal, not just a moment of joy 

          It last's forever, it can’t be destroyed 

        Success is a journey of valleys and peaks 

    Life is a see-saw, there are  laughs and squeaks 

    Success, unlike Happiness, doesn't last for long 

 But the truly Happy ones always sing a Happy song 

  So, Success is not Happiness, Happiness is Success 

   You may be an achiever, whose heart is not at rest 

      But though not successful, if Happy you are 

     Then you are an achiever, you are the very best
