If you are chasing one success after another, is there a point you will reach where eventually you'll allow yourself to stop and enjoy your success?

Yes. I've always spoken about this. Everyone (especially women) speak about their love of an ambitious person. And sure, ambition is great up to a certain point. I don't think anyone aspires to be on the streets or flipping burgers their whole lives. But once you do achieve your dream, whatever that may be, I think it's best to learn to be content with what you have.

For example, once I achieve my dream of living off grid, finding love, and starting a family of my own, I'm fucking off from society and living happily ever after. I'll be done with the rat race and trying to grind every day.

If a girl wants me to be ambitious in my life 24/7 so I can never just relax and drink a beer by a lake every day for the rest of my life, she ain't the one.

I hope so.
But I doubt it.


I’ve been going up and up in the world these past few years and all I can think of is “I want to go further, achieve more, get even better”


It’s a toxic cycle because no success is good enough.
Every victory is a stepping stone for the next one


In order to get out of the poverty I destined to live I sacrificed my inner peace
Now I owe it to myself to succeed so that the sacrifice meant something

I believe that I’m almost there! Just trying to get myself back to Florida now… but it’s very important that I can go there and get a good stable job, and find a nice, modest place and live comfortably. Other than that, it’s like I’ve achieved some, if not most of the goals I’ve wanted to achieve. I can’t really think of much else… just taking that foundation I’ve built and keep building on it, which is just a matter of time.

I just want to get back to a place where I feel like I can enjoy life again, because the Midwest is not it. And I mean as much as I’d like to have kids someday, I feel like that time is really starting to pass me by. I hope not…

I don’t think continuing to pursue more success is bad. However, quite simply for some people it’s never good enough. They could always have better…. And that’s their mindset. You can always make more money even Elon Musk can make more money. They can build more status. They can have a better job title…. A lot of people simply chase job titles even if the pay is shit just so they can feel important.

Some people simply put. Will never feel satisfied or happy. It’s the way they are…Some may stop one day and enjoy it. Many won’t.

It’s hard to determine when it’s ok to “stop and smell the roses.” It’s good to smell a few here and there along the journey.

I think people should be taking that time at each step.

[Shiprex]

I want to enjoy it now and not chase anything

[AgentG111]

That's going to completely depend on if you built that into your chase!

I never chase success, I just wait for it.

Of course

[Cute_User513]

That’s good, and very healthy!!!

Any idea when that point is?
