There was this feeling that I always needed to be more and do more and that maybe then I feel fulfilled . I now know that I was running on what's known as the satisfaction treadmill , which is when we continuously shift our goals upward once we've reached them and we keep running in order to feel satisfied again . But despite the more certificates , degrees and job experience , I got , I still felt that I wasn't enough and needed to be more than who I was for sh for fear of shame , guilt , judgment , and rejection .
Yes , you might feel temporary pleasure when you get that promotion at work , you find that new love relationship . You go on that vacation , you get that designer purse , but you'll , you'll realize that once that feeling of pleasure wears off , you're left feeling unhappy and looking for that next thing to make you happy again . That's because those examples are talking about pleasure and not happiness or joy , true inner happiness is unwavering and is always there for you to tap into even when your external circumstances may not necessarily be the way you want them to be .

Also . Last thing I'll say is you also sometimes get to a place and this is why , let's say a roller coaster is so much fun . It's more fun if you're strapped in , if you're not strapped in .
It was trusting that just because it feels good , doesn't mean it has to be bad . In fact , it good because it feels good . That's right .
