The More You Get, The More You Want

Funny how the one thing we badly wanted a year ago, the thing that was guaranteed to help you achieve ultimate success and happiness, now seems very trivial.

That deal that you thought “oh, once I get this, I’m settled”, only for you to start chasing another one right after getting it.

Is it ever enough? Honestly, not really.

This is not to downplay hard work or the pursuit of success. Ambition matters. Working towards the life you want matters.

But there’s a difference between building a life and constantly running past it.

Just don’t get so caught up in chasing the next thing that you forget to actually live in what you already have.

Because some of the things we rush past are the very things we’ll wish we slowed down for later.
