Working towards a goal makes someone more fulfilled than the achievement itself

[Lucasxp64]

Comfort & Safety vs Fulfillment & Peace?

I think there is a difference between the comfort and safety we get from certain material/immaterial things that we strive for: Relationships, Money, Health, Skills, Knowledge, etc.

And that kind of fulfillment that paradoxically comes from working towards something, basically, almost anything (i.e. We get joy from pursuing goals in computer games, or silly projects which will never get us anything other than experience with work ethics, that only develops skills that will never be used professionally ultimately)

Although, obviously, it's wise to work towards things that will eventually help get all the other material/immaterial things we NEED & DESIRE the most.

I got inspired by his talk.

 

Also another great resource, I hope you guys all watched it already. GOT.

Great video I just found today, most of it is pure gold. It doesn't hurt to repeat those concepts he outlines.
