One of my goals was to have $1 million in my retirement account. I reached that goal last December. I felt great for about 24 hours. I'm still grinding, still saving, still enjoying my work and taking a couple of nice vacations each year. My kids will get the majority of those savings, assuming that Washington doesn't wreck the economy in the next 25 years. But I agree with Rob, the work, the struggle, the planning, and the progress is more important for happiness than actually reaching the goals. BTW, no woman will EVER touch my retirement savings again. I learned that lesson the hard way, 10 years ago.

Great video. I think this is one of the reasons why marriages fail. People think that once they're married, they will just live happily ever after. Instead, it should be a new journey working towards many different goals.

[@Metallsturm]

No, this is how women feel in marriages. All that sense of emptiness he describes after you get the best gear, achieve your goals, get all you wanted and thinking that *this* is where all the fun begins... and then not knowing what to do, and getting bored with it. Maybe start a new character? Try for another ending? Try new build? Or move on to another game entirely? This is *exactly* how women feel as soon as you put the ring on her and say "I do". Why? Because to them, it was the grind that was fun, but of a different kind -- will he toss me aside and replace me with a younger woman, and I can't punish him for it? Will he just tell "I'm tired of you, get out of my house" out of the blue and a woman can't do a damn thing (legally) about it? Will he say "if you don't like it, you can leave" whenever a woman is bothering him with some nagging or fuckery? Well, now you stupidly signed a paper that lets Uncle Sam bend you over and fuck whatever she wants out of you into her pocket. You let her win. And now you must suffer the consequences.

[@tizodd6]

I have to disagree here. I'm 45 now. Own my home. Drive a '22 Supra. Have a good job. I absolutely love my life at this point. I spent most of my life stressed out about my future, and often depressed. Now that my future is secure. I'm super happy. I wake up every morning and I thank God I've reached my goals. I have contentment in life, and I love it. I think the guy in the video went wrong with one goal: He put too much importance on having a gf. Reaching your goals are good, but your goal can't be another person. He put way too much importance on something that was 100% out of his control. edit: Also, I've been married, divorced, and in multiple long and short-term relationships over the years. I totally understand him placing high importance on a gf, because I once did as well. As I matured though, I came to realize more and more, that my happiness can't hinge on an emotional creature that could switch on me in the blink of an eye. The moment I took control of my own happiness and contentment, my life became wonderful.

Goals are always necessary, no matter how small they are, every goal matters. Consistency is good. Although settling has taken a negative connotation recently it doesn't mean you can't settle, it just means in some parts while settling is good i.e. a solid relationship, you can still pursue other new things on a consistent and gradual basis. That helps expand your mind alviates the mundane. Remember to LIVE IN THE PRESENT and be grateful for what good things you do have and the strength and courage to overcome any obstacles you face each day.

Everything he says can easily translate how women ruined relationships with and for men. So many woman dream of having the perfect man to fulfill their princess syndrome, and once they achieve that fairytale dream, they become bored, start drama, and throw everything they built away just so they can end the mundane. What did they all expect perfect to be exactly in the first place?

[@alltheflavors9673]

Let's not blame women for the human condition. When women idolize men, they also do the same and exploit the leverage damaging or destroying the relationship. The difference in testosterone levels gives the women the leverage because when most men are ready to idolize almost any woman, most women will only idolize 10% of men while regarding the other 90% as nuisance side quests to step up to the wealthy ones.

Im most happy when im around people and having a good time. I felt that way once i had a "good" job and my own apartment. After 4 months, I started to ask myself, is this it?. I realized i wanted more in life. Wanting more in life is totally up to you as far as you are willing to work for it.

So I had a goal of being a jet pilot. I achieved that goal (20 years later). I had a goal to have a wife and kids. (I’m divorced 2 times, 20 years later. My new goal is to build a house (and maybe a family) in a foreign country. So far the house part is coming to fruition. The family part is up in the air. My point is don’t give up when you meet failure. Nothing good comes easy or fast. Most worthwhile goals take years of planning and execution before they come to fruition.

But even with all that, I still found myself feeling unfulfilled, like something was missing.

There’s a deeper sense of purpose I’ve yet to fully uncover, and it has me reevaluating what truly brings lasting contentment.

That is why they all seem to look happy many times but inherently the struggle to achieve more materialistic things for more pleasure keeps haunting them.

Instead of being anxious about the future or dwelling on the past. We are so caught up in what we are doing that only the present matters. I work for myself and yesterday I worked 15 hours. I was exhausted but I felt awesome because I emptied my tank attempting to achieve something. Set goals that are a challenge to achieve. Not too difficult where you become frustrated or too easy to where you become bored. Set goals that require effort and focus and you will create happiness. 😎

[@Torgo1969]

All desire leads to suffering. “There seems to be an inborn drive in all human beings not to live in a steady emotional state, which would suggest that such a state is not tolerable to most people. Why else would someone succumb to the attractions of romantic love more than once? Didn’t they learn their lesson the first time or the tenth time or the twentieth time? And it’s the same old lesson: everything in this life-I repeat, everything-is more trouble than it’s worth. And simply being alive is the basic trouble. This is something that is more recognized in Eastern societies than in the West. There’s a minor tradition in Greek philosophy that instructs us to seek a state of equanimity rather than one of ecstasy, but it never really caught on for obvious reasons. Buddhism advises its practitioners not to seek highs or lows but to follow a middle path to personal salvation from the painful cravings of the average sensual life, which is why it was pretty much reviled by the masses and mutated into forms more suited to human drives and desires. It seems evident that very few people can simply sit still. Children spin in circles until they collapse with dizziness.” ― Thomas Ligotti

[@AndreyMakarov-i7h]

I'm so fine with just standing there with the best gear.

hahahaha

It goes back to the one question, what's the purpose of life ? If you work towards your purpose you'll never get bored or feel lost. But if you have no purpose you'll be miserable and feel empty inside even though you have everything in life.

[@denzel1877]

The purpose of man's life is to breathe out carbon dioxide and breathe in oxygen, to eat when hungry, to pee when the bladder is full, to mate when horny, to sleep when drowsy etc... it is never more complicated than that.

Thank you working on/ sharing this value. Learnt this some 15 years ago! I sound crazy when I try to share the idea with people

Will Smith said he thought he'd be happy once he had the big mansion, but he said he actually got depressed because he 'arrived' but there was nowhere else to go.

[@marus3953]

Now that he realized it that only means he just needs to create another goal. While understanding that once you achieve something that's when you rest and plan the next goals.

[@jonathanmarois9009]

The fun rests within the challenge, not the reward.

[@discorabbit]

Achieving your goals makes you happy-claiming otherwise is naive. I loved being overpowered in world of Warcraft.

Life is like an a heartbeat monitor ups and downs keep you alive

A solid dream, makes a solid man.

There is another goal that many men miss. Having kids provides others to teach and watch them grow. Sometimes it isn't your goals that matter as much as helping others achieve theirs.

Happiness is like being asleep. You can't force yourself to do it, you just have to let it come to you.

[@rhymontic]

Happiness is in the journey not the destination

[@kraftsoundmotorsport9748]

Fully agree. I reached one of my big material goals and after some days came the feeling of... What's next? Same with sports. Did the Ultra marathon in the mountains and again this feeling. Now that I am out of shape again I have to start new and somehow it feels good to see the progress. Set yourself goals and work on them, without being to hard on you. This was always the best feeling for me.

At 31, I am on my 2nd bucket list! Do I live "happy"? no, "happiness" is not a constant high. God has been good to me and I live a healthy life in abundance and at peace. I could not ask for more. And if I want to feel adreline and spice my life up, I take my ass to the high mountains or to the oceans to fill myself with excitement for the day! When my 2nd bucket list is done, I will make a third one. Such an inmese world, so much to see and explore and learn about, I can't get enough of being alive.

It's interesting... I was a WoW head back from 2005-2010 during Wrath of the Lich King. I used to run a Shaman (focused on healing spec) and raided with my guild on a weekly basis, but needless to say, I was on the grind for the best healing gear like this gentleman in this video. After months of running dungeons, I finally got the best healing gear for myself. I didn't stop there. My new goal was to help my fellow guildies get their best gear and it took years to help them. I never stopped my goals simply because I got what I wanted. I felt the best helping others get what they need and the satisfaction knowing that I helped my friends get what they wanted to! Overall, I like helping people. A part of being a support character (e.g. healer), it is your role to support others and help them because helping them, helps you in the long run. I will never think that this life is all about me. It's about family, friends, and community!

I truly do feel like what he described.
