Philosophical take on achieving goalsfrom @diewithoutregretss
[01]
Overview
The creator presents a "hot take" that life's pursuits become more enjoyable when the outcome matters less. He argues that ambitious people often create a "psychological contract" where happiness is contingent on future achievements, which makes the process of working towards those goals less fun. He concludes by sharing his personal mindset shift—to view happiness as a birthright rather than a reward—which he claims makes achieving goals both more fun and easier.

"THE GAME GETS MORE FUN WHEN IT MATTERS LESS"
Transcript
I've got a hot take and I don't think most of you are gonna like it better the game gets more fun when it matters less. I'm gonna say that again. The game gets more fun when it matters less. What do I mean by that? Well, if you're an ambitious person with big goals, which if this video found you, you probably are, then I'm willing to bet at some point in your life you made a deal that sounded something like this. I'll be happy when I blank. Make the money. Get the job. Get the car. Get the house. Get the girl. Reach the milestone. Hit the achievement. It doesn't matter what it is. You made a psychological contract between your happiness and your achievement. And as a byproduct, the game doing the actual work towards the good, towards the achievement, got a fuck ton less fun because you literally postponed your happiness to later. You did a buy no, pay later with your happiness, and I'm here to tell you that that's a really fucking shitty deal. And rank, I think you got scammed. I fell in love with my work the moment I rewired the belief that said I can only be happy when I achieve my goals and instead started believing that happiness is a birthright, and it makes achieving your goals not only more fun better easier. And guess what? It's fucking true.
