Agreed with everything up until saying we want to compete and need this ghost - at the end of the day you’ll always end up taking action based on being whom you ‘perceive’ is ‘worthy’ of your love and attention.

Highly suggest following some people in similar places as you and those who have less than you and learning what it feels like to “love” and praise them too.

But hey, whatever works for you! As long as it’s things you truly enjoy.

Glad at least some of it resonated with you! 😄

I used the “compete” part as a synonym for “the process”

I personally don’t think we want to reach a goal and then bask in paradise for the rest of our lives. I think we want to reach it and go on another journey after—we fall in love with the process of achieving things

That’s why the happiest people in retirement are the ones who pick up a hobby or start a personal project

Hope that logic makes more sense 😅😅 Regardless, I love your open mindedness, thanks for sharing 😁
