It doesn't make your life easy.
The nature of happiness and contentment is not external things.
And there's tons of evidence for that.
I've worked with so many people in banking and finance and content creators.
So happy when you get your million subscribers, right?
100,000 subscribers.
You get your whatever, your bronze YouTube plaque.
Then you get your million subscribers.
Then you get your silver YouTube plaque.
And then you want your gold one.
And so there's like, you can always move the goalposts.
Oh, you want this promotion?
You want this promotion?
You get it.
And then are you content for the rest of your life?
Absolutely.
What?
Now you need more.
Now you need more.
So this is where like, I think it's great because some of those mechanisms in our brain ambition, for lack of a better word, they help us achieve success, but they don't help us achieve happiness.
