If you live in constant need of creating security, no matter how exciting or rewarding your life gets, it will only be a matter of time before you seek a new adventure. Now, that doesn’t mean that new adventures are bad. By all means, learn new things, get more degrees, travel to new places, progress!

Human beings are programmed to progress. We are encouraged to be ambitious, to reach for the stars! But the difference is the state of mind you are in. When you live in this constant state of fear and insecurity, nothing is ever enough and the more you get, sometimes the emptier you are.

When you are making a million dollars, that state of fear will tell you that a million dollars is not enough and you have to keep going. It becomes this unhealthy addiction of acquiring more and more and often leads to a life of criminal activity.

Change your mindset, replace fear and insecurity with the desire for progression and ambition then your life will be more about enjoying what you are experiencing rather than hoarding the results of your “successes.”
