Toxic Growth: Why Needing Endless Growth Is Stopping You from Truly Living Masculine Psychology
-
- Self-Improvement
If you’re an achiever, you probably prioritize growth over everything else. You set goals for the distant future that you think will make you happy and fulfilled – goals that can only be achieved after dedicating long hours of grueling work and sacrificing your happiness in the short-term.
But here’s the problem:
When you finally achieve these long-term goals, you’ll realize they haven’t given you lasting happiness or fulfillment. Because society has sold you on the idea that the unenjoyable grind is always necessary for success.
Well, I’m here to tell you the truth…
You don’t have to sacrifice your enjoyment of today to reach lasting happiness and fulfillment.
There is no good reason you cannot accept your current situation and find enjoyment in it, while also crushing through roadblocks to get what you most want in the future.
In this episode, I dissect the common myths that society conditions you to believe, and how you can unlearn these unfulfilling behaviors to live a life of true happiness & satisfaction—today and in the future.
