YouTube Description
as posted by the channelMost high achievers struggle with enjoyment.
Satisfaction is the joy that comes from achievement after struggle. But when satisfaction becomes the only source of reward, enjoyment gets pushed aside. Everything has to count. If something does not move the scoreboard, it feels like a waste of time.
Over time, the ability to enjoy things for their own sake fades. Value becomes external. Outcomes replace experience.
A life organized entirely around achievement can succeed in many ways and still feel joyless. If you are an overachiever, this is worth paying attention to.
