Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• Every time I get the thing I was sure would finally make me feel like enough
• I hit the number I once thought would feel like enough and it just didn’t
• However much I get — more money, more status, more done — the satisfaction evaporates and the wanting just resets a notch higher, and I never feel like I’ve arrived because I’ve never once decided what would actually count as enough.
• I was so sure the new thing
• Every time I earn more I somehow spend more, and the finish line where I’d finally feel I have enough just keeps sliding further away
