Satisfaction is a Complementary gift or Consequence of Success! Don’t look for satisfaction. Create it. Make your success satisfying. Success is the by product of SATISFACTION AND HAPPINESS. Without one being happy about doing a work the results will not come up.
When a man involves in a loving work he does, his emotions, his love, his thoughts all those would actually get into the thing that he is producing. Such product or work is not only seen by other people but they also experience same emotions, thoughts of the maker or the one who created it. Then, such things make them love the thing that is produced. That is when, that product will be praised and that is when the man gets higher recognition for his work.
Also do not work for the sake of recognition. You can cross check if you want, when you do your best loving thing, in the process of doing it, you get lost into it without knowing time and awareness of surroundings which is nothing but you get to mediate on that (a kind of premeditative effort of Dhahran happens) which actually energizes the thing that you produce. That will also be recognized and paid. If it is not recognized, still there is some problem in the process of your doing that work. The secret is all about GETTING LOST into it. The doer, the doing process and the one that is getting done (product) become one.
That oneness gives all.
One should always be after the work he loves to do. Rest all are by products. Finances, recognition all those will come naturally when right time comes. Comparing with others, feeling sad about your lower financial level etc are basically attachments.
When one does the work of what he loves, that is when his karma gets burnt. That is when, the soul advances and along with soul, the integrated consciousness, THE NATURE also advances. It is because NATURE advances along with you, NATURE WILL DEFINITELY PAY YOU BACK WITH THE MONEY AND RECOGNITION THAT YOU DESERVE. Such recognition will also be as per nature but not as per what you want. You may look at few dollars of money. But may be nature stored many and many dollars for you.
Working for success will make you a master but working for satisfaction will make you a legend…..
A satisfied life is better than successful life because our success is measured by others. But our satisfaction is measured by our own soul, mind, heart…..
A friend of mine used to work for the merchant navy. He was getting a whooping sum of Kshs 40,000 per month. He had a successful career. At that point of time, if anyone had asked him what was more important in life, his answer would have been success.
Fast Forward he got married. So his wife used to live with her in-laws while he was away on the ship. However, his wife used to feel alone and missed him. So did he. He had two choices. Either to pursue the same career or quit merchant navy. You know what he did? He left his high paying job and settled for some other job which didn't pay as much as the previous one. What mattered more to him now was satisfaction.
Now it depends on you that what is your definition of success. Success does not mean earning lots of money. Success means accomplishing something which you want all by your heart. if you are rich that does not means that you will be happy or satisfied from your life. But if your goal is to be rich and you accomplish it by any means then I can assure you that you will be happy and satisfied as well. So success and satisfaction both are proportional. The more successful you are in what you really want to do in your life, the more happy and satisfied you will be.
Because without satisfaction the success is not actual success. let me explain…
Like if you want to date a girl and she don’t have any interest on you she has already a boyfriend. Then you try to convince her but she refuse. Now you create a reason to break-up the relation of them. And it goes in right direction and she break-up with her boyfriend. Now she accept your proposal. You get the success but not satisfaction. There will be always a fear and the actual feel of love you will not receive from your heart.
Whereas if it goes naturally then the success become satisfaction. Its my personal opinion. But success and satisfaction both have same importance. without satisfaction the success is not actual success and without success there is no satisfaction. Without success no one will get satisfaction.

Success will help to make your life comfortable and provide pleasure that will ultimately led to satisfaction.
But, you can get satisfaction by helping others when they really need it. For that, you should have the potential to help others. You will get that potential if you are successful.
Why do I feel others don't want my success?
If you are asking why do you feel that? It’s because it’s true. A majority of people around you do not want your success. They just want their own success; your success is of no interest to them.
Why so? In today's competitive world, your success somewhere psychologically threatens the success of other people in your office and even in your friend circle. Everyone wants to be successful, and if something they feel comes in their way, they do not like it.
It’s that simple. Learn to be independent of these factors around you. Learn that your success do not depend on what others feel about your success. It purely depends on you, and only you. Motivation and trust from close ones also help sometimes, but in the end all the effort has to come from you. And don't forget to smile; it would confuse "Others".

When you were younger, something happened in your life. A major event and you realized in that moment that other people don't want you to succeed. Since that moment you've found a lot of evidence to support that idea - the many times that others have stopped you or not supported you. What you may not have seen is the times they helped you - because that's not what you were looking for. That's why the feeling persists - you are subconsciously looking for evidence to back it up, and ignoring anything which contradicts it. You typically feel this way when you focus too much on others. To be successful you have to forge your own path. You can take others' opinions and advice into account but ultimately you must make your own choices.
Most people put you down because they are afraid to pursue their dreams. They are afraid that you will be extremely successful while they wallow away in mediocrity. They can't stand the fact that you come from the same place but ultimately you will end up in a different place.
It's quite simple actually, cut the ties and move on. Success is an inside job. You are the one who decide whether you succeeded or failed. There is no external benchmark. So don't worry if rest of the world doesn't appreciate when you succeed. People feel threatened by success. Not only do people feel that their success is threatened by yours, but it threatens their perception of themselves. We've all been there: seeing someone else succeed makes us feel inadequate, like we are inferior. No one likes to feel unaccomplished and inferior, which is exactly how the success of others makes us feel. That's the reason people don't like try-hard, because then in comparison my product is not as great as I may have initially anticipated it to be.
