NOT ENOUGH

 A

  • Most people feel chronically dissatisfied because their untrained mind fixates on what is missing, constantly moving the goalposts so no achievement ever feels “enough.”

  • Chasing external validation (approval, praise, recognition) makes satisfaction impossible, since other people’s reactions are unpredictable and always invite wanting “more.”

  • Many never clarify what they truly want, so they drift after shiny goals set by culture or others; without this inner clarity, even success feels hollow.

  • A more satisfying life comes from training attention, detaching self-worth from others’ opinions, and deciding on a personally meaningful direction, then accepting past choices as the only ones that could have been made at the time.
