I haven't spent too much time talking about material success or "externalities" in my analysis of success so far. That is because material success is a given component of overall success. However, any kind of success begins and ends within you. You have an idea or an ideal or a dream or a goal or vision. You take steps to define and then achieve you goal. You succeed. You are happy Looking within, I have asked the question: what is the ultimate inner goal of the human experience? What is it that we need the most from a mental - and I daresay, a spiritual - perspective? Is it happiness? Love? Ultimate experience? Or, as Friedrich Nietzsche implied, meaning. That is to say, if you can answer the question, "Why is this happening?" then you will always be happy I posit that there is something beyond meaning which is how I conclude my search of an ultimate definition of "success" in this episode. That something exists within all of us and it nothing more than the deep feeling that everything is not only okay but perfect and beautiful and that we can overcome any obstacle or challenge. Some call it "faith" and it is the cornerstone for the achievement of any level of success
