Benjamin Hardy

Truth was, is I was way further than I'd ever been. And if I was just measuring myself backward against my past self, competing only against my past self, I was radically further than I ever was. And I just did something huge. And so I'm learning and I've learned over the years to be more in the game. And it's a far more enjoyable, far happier experience.

And also a moving target that by definition is unreachable. You can't actually reach an ideal. It's an ideal. But if you're always measuring yourself against it, then you never feel like you've moved anywhere. And that's actually why we wrote the book is because high achievers by nature have huge ideals, but they also usually measure themselves against them. And our culture is trained that way.

So ideals are very, they're very ephemeral. Like they're not actually tangible. Like, and so like how I learned it from Dan is ideals are like the horizon in the desert. Like you can see them out there and like, but every time you take a few steps forward, the horizon keeps going. And in America, we're actually trained to always be pursuing happiness.

Social media trains us to have ideals and to always be comparing ourselves externally. And sometimes ideals are other people, right? But if you're always measuring yourself against something that's way up ahead and also something that you can never actually reach, then what that does for you internally is it feels like you've never made any progress at all.
