I think double-clicking on something I said earlier, the biggest problem is that high achievers start getting their satisfaction from chasing something.
Can they keep getting it and they realize, huh, not as satisfying as I thought it would be.
And I think if you really can connect to your values, you can think a little bit about your work more in terms of instead of it being a destination, how do I pick a climb that I'm super excited about that climb every day?

And I think, again, if you're trying to figure out what that is, you really would be able to want to rattle off your values and say, these are the things that I would enjoy.
But then when you have it, you're going to just say, yeah, but that's good.
If you can't figure out how to be happy in the moment with what you have, it's hard to believe that you'll be happy at some arrival moment.
