Employee output correlates with happiness
Happiness and contentment are the two faces of a coin. A happy person is necessarily a contented one. In order to survive, we need to work, and if work is for the sake of work without aspiring for name and fame, it certainly results in ever-lasting happiness.
Every employee is expected to deliver results but it is not necessary that each one of us should be happy and contented with what we do. Fact is, it is not work alone that makes us happy, there are other factors in action here, which include positive thinking, unselfishness, patience, passion and the like.
A happy worker always thinks positive and celebrates even small successes. It is the power of positive thinking that plays a vital role in making a worker contented. It is psychologically proved that a healthy and positive mind can work wonders. At the same time a mind riddled with negative thoughts can make us feel unhappy, force us to commit blunders and ultimately destroy us. We are just machines manipulated by our thoughts. They guide us and make us act, whether this has to be positive or negative is for us to decide.
Positive thinking makes us believe that there are limitless possibilities hidden in each one of us. We can undo what we have done. It is said, “You are your own friend and you are your own enemy.” “You are the creator of your own destiny.” No one can help us, self-help is the best help. You need to turn the wheel upside down, change the process of thinking, and certainly you can create heaven just by positive thinking. You can enjoy the fruits of your work/actions, which result in peace and happiness.
Faith is yet another dynamic and constructive force in life as well as in work. You may assume that faith cannot stand the test of reason, but reality is that faith and rationalism are complementary to each other.
The faculty of pure reasoning leads to knowledge, and knowledge gives us faith. A knowledgeable person is more confident, and delivers positive products. Faith in one’s own self is an important factor which yields hope, and hope for better delivers good results. Similarly, cheerfulness is the outcome of hope.
A cheerful person’s actions are always coupled with positive attitude. A worker must have passion to enjoy the work assigned. When a person begins to love his work, he becomes more positive and this, in turn, brings satisfaction.
A contented man is always cheerful, and searches happiness in work not in success. Happiness at work, rather than success, is more fulfilling. Success involves big accomplishments while happiness can be found in small things. However, the two are not mutually exclusive. Being cheerful helps a person accomplish his tasks and in turn, accomplishment leads to happiness. Accomplishments, however, may not necessarily translate into financial gains, but makes a person morally strong.
Even if people fail to deliver at times, leaders can rest assured that a happy flock will get them lasting returns sooner or later!
If a person works without any selfish motive in thoughts and deeds, rather works with positive attitude then unselfishness pays more. Unselfishness, passion and happiness are not merely figures of speech; they make us realise the immense power existing in us; hence, let’s be balanced (mentally) at all circumstances, and take things positively so that we can be happy and remain contented always to deliver more!
