Today, I'm going to talk to you about how to be miserable for the rest of your life, especially How to make sure that every moment from this moment forward until the day that you die, you are not as happy as you want to be. And then I'm going to talk about how to avoid it. And it has to do with something that I like to call the achievement trap.
We're going to dive into our social and personal problems where we never feel like too much is ever enough. And I'm just curious, before we dive into it, in the past, have you ever wanted something so bad and you worked so hard to get it? And this might have been three or four or five, 10 years ago, whatever it is.
And you have that thing now, or you had it at some point in the past, like you wanted it, you wanted it, you achieved it. And now that you have it, it's just another thing. Maybe it's a house. Maybe it's a car. Maybe it's a relationship. Maybe it's a achievement. It's a job. Or maybe it's a certain amount of money that you're making. Now that you have it, you're just like, ugh, whatever.
But when you were younger, it was like the thing you wanted more than anybody else. You worked so hard for it. You dreamed about it. You prayed about that thing.
and now you're having like ah whatever we all get caught in this trap of wanting the next thing you know maybe you want you want your dream job oh if i could only get this dream job then i'd be set for life and then you get it and then six months later like okay now i want to move up to the next level because my salary isn't quite enough
Or maybe you want a pay raise and you do get that pay raise. Oh, if I could only make $80,000 a year, then I'd be happy. And then you get to $80,000 a year eventually and you're like, you know what? I'm so close. I need to hit six figures and then I'll feel secure. And then you hit six figures. You hit $100,000.
You're like, now I need to make $200,000 so I can be really secure and I can buy some more cool stuff. Or maybe you're living in an apartment and you're just like, I just really want to buy a house. I want my own place. If I could just buy my own place, I'd be so happy. And then you finally get that first home. It's a nice little home.
And then a couple of years later, you're like, ah, it's too small. I need something bigger. And you get something bigger and you're like, I need something with a pool. Or maybe you just, you've been dreaming about finally getting into a perfect relationship. If I could just find the right partner, everything will be amazing. And then you find someone that you love.
