Mindful Monday for March 9

Mindful Monday for March 9

The Mindful Monday for March 9 is a quote from humanitarian and philosopher Albert Schweitzer: "Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success."

Sometimes we get trapped into thinking that happiness is contingent on the next achievement, promotion or reward. Rather than hinge our happiness on external things, how can we find happiness within ourselves? When we focus on inner happiness rather than chasing validation, we have achieved success.
