Have you ever had anyone tell you their magic formula for success? I’ll bet you have. We go through life with so many mentors, sages, counselors, coaches, teachers, and others offering us their time-tested advice to create the best life possible. Many of us have made something of a second career from personal development, devoting a significant amount of our time and mental energy to learning and putting into practice as many mindsets and techniques as possible to make our success effortless and complete, and this generally yields a positive result of some kind, even if not entirely what it promises. The fact is, everyone has some theory of success that they teach, or would if asked, an approach to life that has gotten them to where they are. And you might expect that the most successful among us would teach a theory and method for success of great integrity that is unusually well thought-through. I notice however this is often not the case, and there is enough about the very concept of a success theory that should cause us to hesitate and ask questions before we attempt to assimilate and apply it. Furthermore, there is something about the nature of success that resists being captured by a theory in the first place, and perhaps this is the only way it could ever be. We’ll be exploring all of that and more today on Thinking Hard, or Hardly Thinking.
