The Relentless Pursuit of an Empty Promise
Success should feel like triumph, yet somehow it often leaves us hollow. In June 2018, I was being chauffeured to deliver a keynote speech, earning more in thirty minutes than I had the previous month. Designer outfit, check. Prestigious event, check. Yet after my talk, I returned to my hotel room and broke down sobbing. I couldn't remember when I'd last seen friends or done anything beyond work. Friends messaged that I was "killing it" - but what was I killing? My soul, probably. I'd become what Jennifer Romolini calls "an ambition monster," wearing success as armor, afraid to be seen for who I really was. Despite unprecedented access to material comforts, our anxiety, burnout, and depression rates continue to climb. We're desperately chasing success, yet our world doesn't look very "successful" or "happy." What if this endless rat race is just a marketing technique, an obstacle course we didn't choose?
