Harvey Weinstein's case and reasons you shouldn't aim at success

The news relates to Harvey Weinstein's use of power to control people deserve further thoughts that I would like to share with Steemit community.

Its everywhere - among predatory human beings- people without conscience or any kind of a moral compass see every opportunity as one to exploit those in a position of weakness.

It's upsetting, regrettable and, unfortunately, as old as human history.
Many of the most powerful stories of "success" are by underdogs that redefine what it means...meaning, purpose, presence in a personal pursuit, expertise and giving.

Deny the Harvey Weinstein's of the world their power by releasing the craving to which they hold the key. Find meaning in the struggle, joy in the pursuit and reward in the excellence and your story will be worthy.

The brilliant Viktor Frankl said it best: "Don't aim at success. The more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side effect of one's personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself...." (Man's Search for Meaning)

Maybe being famous isn't really "meaning something in this world" maybe meaning something in this world has nothing to do with fame fortune or notoriety.
As confused as he sounded, Jim Carrey's latest video on a red carpet pretty much explains this.

Actors are more exposed than others, although the abuse of power is across all industries, because there's a real problem in the world- especially in Hollywood industry- with people being unwilling to pay artists, whether they're musicians, actors, authors, or visual artists. People invite them to events and are surprised when they ask to be paid for their time. They think they should do it for "exposure" or to "give back".
Try telling that to your attorney, or accountant, or dentist!
