I’m incredibly happy achieving nothing these days.

Imagine the feeling soldiers felt after winning an ancient battle? How did Alexander the Greats troops feel after Issus and Guagemela? How did Hannibal’s troops feel after Cannae?
You’re staring a bloody horrible death in the face then all of a sudden you’re the one doing the killing and celebrating with your brothers after.
The comedown after that has got to be insane.

Maybe that's why so many of those who returned from WWII were content to settle down into the quiet life of small towns and farms while raising families.

Have you ever experienced "arrival fallacy"?
Never heard it called this but absolutely. I grew up poor and always thought money = happiness. I made goals I thought were unreasonable, and have achieved almost every one. Aside from an occasional brief rush, I'm no happier because of it. I don't worry about rent or my next meal any more but those stresses have been replaced with different kinds. I learned happiness comes down to having people around you that love you and treating people well.

I've experienced "arrival anxiety"
The closer I got to arriving at my in-laws house on the holidays, the higher my anxiety level got.

Happiness is the moment before you need more happiness

Alcohol and pills
It’s a crying shame
You think they might have been happy
With the glory and the fame
But fame don’t take away the pain
It just pays the bills
And you wind up on alcohol and pills

All the time. I’m pretty miserable so I distract myself with carrots. Once I get there I have a pretty hard meltdown that lasts until I start over again with another carrot. I guess I can say “at least I’m aware of it”. It keeps me distracted for a while, which something is better than nothing.

This is often referred to the Hedonic treadmill, coined in 1971.
This is correct, it is a westernized thought, so prevalent that we can’t see it, like fish in water.
This is a byproduct of the enlightenment. Before then people everywhere described themselves firstly as the son of, brother of… and felt shame when not upholding family and community values. We traded that for radical individualism, and consumerism, and hustle culture. We feel guilt, not shame, for not achieving social goals.
Some attribute influence to the puritans, and their views on work and salvation.

100% a real thing and people need to be cognizant by thinking about “and then what?” after reaching their goals.
A book I recently read was written by a sports psychologist and one of his clients was an "older" LPGA player who had a goal of making the LPGA hall of fame, which is one of the toughest to get into due to the strict criteria (30 wins including majors).
She worked with the sports psychologist and after a few years, she met the criteria and was inducted into the HOF. At the ceremony, the golfer saw the sports psychologist and said we need to talk and figure out the next goal to achieve.

Also known as human nature. The first lie of Satan to mankind was that man could be like God. We’ve been erecting idols ever since.

I often tell myself that if I earn X amount more I'll be ok financially.
And every time I get there I am not.
