Too many people never spend enough time exploring this question…

They think that what they want is what society TELLS them they should want: the high-paying job, the successful career, the big house, fancy car, and “perfect” family.

Those are the goals they spend their whole life chasing, with varying levels of success. And when their achievements (such as they are) don’t bring them any lasting joy or fulfillment, they think the problem must be with them.

So they work even harder, ignoring that ever-present feeling of prickling dissatisfaction that tells them their life could be better, if only they knew how to make it so, and resign themselves to a life that doesn’t truly fulfill them.
