The goalpost moves the second you reach it. Your brain recalibrates every win into the new baseline, then immediately starts calculating what's next. Wealth protects itself when you decide what enough means before you get there. Great read, Ryan.
You nailed it—our brains are wired for “next.” The trick isn’t killing ambition, it’s defining it. Defining enough early keeps drive from turning into danger.
Having this problem in my marriage. Wife won't stop moving the goalposts. All I want to do is play pickleball, go to gym, and study French. Actually going back to work next year to get some space. Ugh!
Best article you've ever written. Full Stop
Appreciate the kind words!
