Don’t Listen to People Who Say, “Success Isn’t Everything.” Here’s why
The truth about money, happiness, and success
“Have you ever noticed that the person who shouts out “Success isn’t everything” is the guy or gal who has none? People who try to persuade you to give up are not trying to help you. They are trying to make sense of why they gave up.” -Grant Cardone
Many people have a negative relationship with “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:
“Give up on the idea of success. You are successful just by being. This idea that we aren’t enough is toxic.”
However, seeking “success” is not about coming from a place of lack-of, it’s about coming from a place of abundance. It’s about knowing that the world is full of possibility and someones 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 this article will explain.
