There is always something deeply satisfying about putting in all of our energy into a task for several weeks or months to receive the best outcome. When we achieve what we desire through working hard, the achievement feels so much more rewarding.
Have you ever experienced a moment when you achieve one of the most important goals in your life, and as soon as a few minutes pass, you feel no satisfaction or joy within you? Have you ever received an award or title that you truly worked for, and yet did not feel pride or happiness?
These emotions of dissatisfaction are a little more common than you think. There are so many young people who receive well-deserved awards only to feel completely apathetic and as a result, confused as to why they are not more excited.
