The moment you reach the finish line you wanted, you’ll see a new one. Enjoy the view before you chase it.

Wanting renews itself the second it is satisfied, which is useful for getting things done and terrible for feeling that anything is enough. The next goal appears so fast that the last one never gets counted, and a life of real accomplishment can feel like constant falling short. The problem is not your ambition. It is the speed of the handover.

When something you worked for actually lands, stay with it for a day before you name what comes next. Tell one person what it took. The pause is not laziness, it is how the effort gets recorded.
