Similarly, the idea of putting pressure on ourselves to strive for our goals now so that we can feel the rush of reaching them later is as bizarre and misguided a life strategy as hitting ourselves in the face because it fells good when we stop.
In "The Inside-Out Revolution," Michael Neill explores the misguided belief that we must exert pressure on ourselves to achieve our goals quickly for the satisfaction of reaching them later. He compares this approach to self-harm, suggesting that intentionally stressing ourselves out ultimately does not lead to meaningful fulfillment.
Neill's perspective challenges the conventional wisdom that pursuing goals aggressively is the only way to find success. Instead, he advocates for a more balanced approach, emphasizing the importance of inner well-being over the frantic pursuit of external achievements.
