Sarah’s Chase for “More”
Sarah had always been ambitious. In her early 20s, she dreamed of running her own business, making six figures, and living in a high-rise apartment with a city view.
So, she worked. Hard.
She sacrificed weekends, said no to vacations, and poured every ounce of energy into her startup. And after years of grinding, she made it.
One day, sitting in her beautiful apartment, sipping coffee on her expensive balcony, she had a thought that hit her like a freight train:
“Why don’t I feel any different?”
She had everything she once dreamed of. Yet, she still felt like something was missing.
The Never-Ending Chase
Sarah’s mind was already onto the next thing. Maybe she needed a bigger apartment. A higher revenue goal. A more luxurious car.
Her mentor, an older entrepreneur named Mike, noticed her restlessness and asked, “Do you remember when you dreamed of having what you have now?”
Sarah nodded.
Mike continued, “And do you think the next thing will finally make you happy?”
She hesitated. “I don’t know… but I have to keep pushing, right?”
Mike smiled. “You don’t have to stop growing. But if you don’t learn to love where you are, you won’t love where you’re going either.”
The Perspective Shift
That conversation changed something in Sarah.
For the first time, she took a step back and looked at her life. The freedom she had built. The team she led. The clients she helped.
She wasn’t unhappy—she was just always looking at what was next instead of appreciating what was now.
She realized:
Years ago, she wished for this life.
If she kept chasing blindly, she’d always feel unfulfilled.
The real flex wasn’t just achieving more—it was enjoying what she had worked for.
The Takeaway
If you aren’t happy with what you have now, you probably won’t be happy with what’s next.
Ambition is great—but don’t let it rob you of the joy in the present.
Growth should be a choice, not a constant chase for “enough.”
Sarah still set big goals. But now, she also took moments to appreciate the life she once dreamed of. And that made all the difference.
