Beware of Anyone Who Says “Success Isn’t Everything”
How the pursuit of success makes you better.
“You can be wildly happy with what you have, and still strive to grow and contribute. So don’t ever let anyone discourage you from your ambition for a better life. Don’t minimize yourself or your dreams for any reason.” -Brendon Burchard, High Performance Habits
There are many people in the world today with a negative relationship towards “success.”
They think it’s unethical — that one man’s gain is another man’s loss. Or they may simply think it’s pursued for the wrong reasons. For example, one reader recently commented the following:
“Give up on the idea of success. You are successful just by being. This idea that we aren’t enough is toxic.”
However, to me, seeking “success” is not about coming from a place of lack-of, but rather, a place of abundance. It’s about knowing that the world is full of possibility and someone’s going to claim it, so why not let it be you?
Indeed, it’s about seeking growth. It’s about growing, changing, and improving. All of which are actually incredibly healthy things, as the remainder of this article will explore. Here we go.
