Achieving success and happiness is no easy feat. It requires hard work, dedication, and most importantly the right mindset. Here are some of the top mindset shifts that can help you achieve both:

1) Focus on Progress, Not Perfection

It’s easy to get caught up in trying to do everything perfectly - but progress is more important than perfection! Instead of striving for perfectionism in every task or project you take on, focus instead on making consistent progress towards your goals. This will give you a sense of accomplishment and keep motivation high along your journey to success and happiness.

2) Embrace Change

Change can be scary but it’s an essential part of growth - both professionally and personally! Don't let fear stand in your way from taking risks or trying something new; embrace change as an opportunity for learning rather than a threat against stability. When faced with change remember that it doesn't have to be all-or-nothing; small steps are often just as effective (and less intimidating!) when navigating unfamiliar territory!

3) Believe In Yourself & Your Goals

Believing in yourself is key when striving for success – if we don’t believe our own abilities then how can we expect others too? Have faith that even if things don't go according plan at first there's always room for improvement so never give up hope! Additionally make sure the goals you set align with what truly matters most– this will ensure they're worth pursuing despite any obstacles along the way which may arise during their pursuit..

4) Practice Gratitude & Mindfulness

Gratitude has been proven time again as one of life's greatest gifts – practice gratitude daily by acknowledging all good things around us (even those seemingly small ones!). Additionally mindfulness helps us stay present amidst chaos– take time each day away from screens/noise/distractions etc., sit still & observe our thoughts without judgment or expectation allowing ourselves space simply 'to be'. Doing this regularly helps bring clarity about what really matters enabling better decision making + greater peace within ourselves = more successful + happier lives overall!.
