Either money, career, good reputation, good relationships, a house, a partner, kids, exotic holidays, etc. And we try hard, compromise a lot of things and, if we are “lucky”, we finally obtain what we want. The happiness of achieving the respective goal is a high we all want.

But did you ever notice how long this period lasts? Most of the time this feeling of being accomplished or happy lasts so little (until we want the next best thing,) that we don’t even really enjoy it! At least not as we “should”. We spend months, years or decades chasing a goal and feeling anguish over it, just for one small moment (minutes, days or maybe weeks) of “I did it!” or “I have it”.

And so we start again the circle, and again pushing ourselves, our limits, compromising, feeling anxious, planning, fearing what might happen or what might not happen, fearing of what we might loose if we do not continue…. and we rush and rush. A never-ending spiral.
