One of my greatest realizations has been, and continues to be, that happiness is not found in the achievement of our goals. For years, I always had thought that I'd be happy when ----- . The first time I realized that achieving my goals was a happiness illusion was when I hit my goal weight. For years, I had dreamed of being a specific weight. This was before I had any knowledge of how to truly measure progress when it came to physique and fitness. I thought my life would be perfect when I saw a specific number on the scale.
Fast forward to the day that was supposed to be the best day. I stepped on the scale and I saw that after years, I had reached my goal. At that moment, I remember consciously thinking.... "I am still not happy." "I am still not confident." "I still don't like my body, and I still am insecure."
Achieving our goals can be a happiness illusion. In this episode, I share this message and further reflections about it. I hope you receive value from tuning in! If you are someone who is pursuing a dream, and think your happiness will be found once you've arrived at your destination... this is an invitation to evaluate where you are placing your values.
