Ep #243 - Happy New Year: Here are 11 worthy ideals to consider

Happy New Year! This first episode of 2026 invites you to reflect deeply on what will truly make it a "happy" year. I explore the powerful connection between happiness and success. Success, as Earl Nightingale wisely put it, is "the progressive realisation of a worthy ideal." It’s not about arriving at the goal, but progressing towards it.

So what is a worthy ideal? I share eleven of mine that fuel my passion and guide my actions, from regenerative agriculture and the defence of Australia's Constitution, to the fight against political Islam, digital ID, and communism. I also spotlight initiatives like industrial hemp, the Forever Freedom Movement’s Buttonheart Bear, and my desire to spread passionate leadership around the world.

The most important question for you is: What is your worthy ideal? Choose it. Let it inspire you. That pursuit alone is "success", and it will fill your year with meaning, passion and happiness.

That would be a Happy New Year for you indeed!
