Earl Nightingale says that "Success is the progressive realization of a worthy goal or ideal."

We are all looking for success.

Success in our health, finances, relationships, family and happiness.

So often, proactively searching for success and believing in the worthiness of your goals can attract negative feedback from naysayers and pessimistic poo-faces. Nowadays it seems that social media is full of people panicking, complaining, whining and spreading the news that the world is all wrong and everything is terrible.

I don't think this is cool.

I don't think that's the way to make things cool either.
