Summary
In a world as complex as ours, the term "success" is often overly generalised with no middle ground or alternative. In this episode I speak about some of the wider values and degrees of the word and explore some of the many games in which we can potentially "succeed" at.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, hello, hello and welcome to episode number nine of the Bouncing Back podcast with me, |
| 0:12.3 | James Middleton. Today's episode is one that is going to be looking around the topic of success. |
| 0:19.5 | I'm going to explore all kinds of avenues underneath it because I think |
| 0:25.2 | for a lot of people, success is a word that often brings more than just one meaning to your mind. And I think |
| 0:34.3 | that's a good thing. I don't think there's an objective truth of what success is. I think success to a lot of people can be very different. And a lot of people based on |
| 0:42.9 | their circumstances, their opinions might have different views on what success is and what it |
| 0:49.8 | looks like. And as always, what I'm going to be talking to you about is based around things that I've read |
| 0:56.9 | things that I've listened to my own opinions thrown in there kind of like a well-rounded |
| 1:01.8 | overview of it now you might disagree with some of the things that I say you might agree |
| 1:07.5 | with some of the things that I say that's the beauty of listening to someone |
| 1:12.2 | like myself talking about a subject like this because it just I believe opens up your mind to |

| 1:26.1 | there are too many people out there, woke people, |
| 1:29.7 | who have an opinion on something, and if someone else's opinion isn't the same as theirs |
| 1:34.3 | or they disagree with something, they automatically assume that that person or that opinion is wrong. |
| 1:39.4 | And it's really sad because I think more people need to open their eyes up and understand and actually take in |
| 1:46.6 | different viewpoints and different opinions because all that does is it just enhances your |
| 1:51.4 | view on things and it just expands your horizons and increases your knowledge on certain topics. |
| 1:59.0 | So that's kind of my style, if you haven't gathered that already in |
| 2:02.5 | the previous podcast. It's always offering you viewpoints and considerations and things to go away |
| 2:09.6 | and think about. It's not necessarily right or wrong or black and white. I try to make it as |
| 2:14.5 | factual as possible, but a lot of it is my own little spin and opinion, |
