Summary

Are you a superstar in the eyes of others? Do you work hard, do amazing things, and seem to have it all? And yet.... walk daily with this gnawing sense that you are failing? You just want to be happy. You hope that the "next thing" will bring happiness. But it always feels like you’re not doing enough, you’ve missed an opportunity, or that you're not achieving your goals. All your successes are not enough to prop up your self-esteem. You may even worry that these "failures" are due to your own short comings. Here's the deal: Ambition is widely regarded as being a positive force in our lives. But ambition becomes a problem when it is rooted in fear, and a belief that links happiness to achievement. On today's edition of the Love, Happiness and Success Podcast, I'll help you understand how to get off the never-ending treadmill of "More" -- and start appreciating how amazing you actually are. Listen Now. (Music Credits: “The Gummi Bears of Failure," by Paneye.)

1:34.5	they never feel like they have ever arrived they cannot enjoy the successes that they've had
1:43.8	and I think it's sad and I think it's also very common.
