I relate so hard. I feel like this is why ambition can actually make satisfaction feel less stable. When every achievement increases your baseline, your future goals keep moving further away. I hope to get better at learning how to let enjoy progress before the goalposts move again.
Right? Somehow when we achieve what we worked so hard for we immediately forget what it took to get there and move on to the next chase. I think the secret is learning to separate that constant drive from the part of you that can actually be happy here and now and enjoy the small things. But like you say, easier said than done.
