What needs to happen for you to feel happy? What would have to happen for you to feel successful at work?

We may have far too many "rules" in place that essentially block our ability to achieve the feelings we desire - or we have our happiness or our success tied to things that we have no control over..."When my boss does x.... When my spouse does x...THEN I will be happy."

Maybe it's time to re-evaluate how we gauge our personal and professional success.
