Oftentimes, people assume that a higher salary, bonuses and material wealth will make them happy. However, after some time they realize that happiness comes more from intangible things and what you do to help others, as compared to material things. While material things are very good and they can make one happy, in many cases the happiness tends to be short-lived. On the other hand, what you do for other people tends to be more fulfilling in the long run.

Thus, as much as it is important for you to aim for higher positions, more money and more assets; if you want to be happy and fulfilled as a leader, it is crucial for you develop yourself mentally, spiritually, physically, emotionally and so on. This helps you to appreciate who you are, your purpose and where you fit in the environment. Furthermore, you can find more people to help. Find more team members that you can inspire, coach, counsel, or console. By so doing, you increase your happiness without necessarily attaching it to things, but rather, who you are and whom you are becoming.
