Episode 179: The wonderful value to you of crafting your Worthy Ideal.

The Charles Kovess Show

In this Episode, my big idea is to help you to identify your Worthy Ideal.

You want to be successful. You want to be happy.

I want to be successful. I want to be happy.

Will I be happy if I'm successful? Or will I be a success if I'm happy?

It's quite circular, isn't it? If you're a success, will you be happy? Or, if you are happy, is that being successful?

Do some thinking about that!

But it begs the question: what is "success"?

I've discussed this on previous shows and I love Earl Nightingale's definition of success that he shared in his wonderful recording of "The Strangest Secret": "success is the progressive realisation of your worthy ideal".

I use this definition of success. I recommend it to you if you don't have a better one. I think it's the best that I found and I've been looking for definitions of success for a long time.

Note that the definition of success is the progressive realisation of your worthy ideal, not the achievement of your worthy ideal.

You don't have to achieve your worthy ideal to be successful!

When you adopt this definition of success you feel successful because you are progressing towards your worthy ideal, and nobody else can tell you what that worthy ideal is; it's subjective.

So my message to you today is to clarify that worthy ideal.
