The Happiness Paradox: Why Achievement Never Feels Enough
Have you ever accomplished something significant only to feel a fleeting moment of satisfaction before focusing on what's still missing? This is what Dan Sullivan calls "the GAP" - the space between where you are and your ideal. When measuring against ideals, you're guaranteed to feel inadequate because ideals, by definition, are unreachable horizons that continuously recede as you approach. Thomas Jefferson's phrase "the pursuit of Happiness" has fundamentally shaped our psychology by framing happiness as perpetually out of reach. This mindset particularly afflicts high achievers. Consider Edward, one of Sullivan's clients who accumulated $17 million but never felt financially secure. His original goal was $5 million - once an unimaginable sum. Yet after tripling that goal, he still felt inadequate. Psychology calls this "hedonic adaptation" - our tendency to quickly adapt to achievements and return to baseline happiness. You work harder and harder while remaining exactly where you started emotionally. When trapped in the GAP, every experience becomes negative, progress feels like a letdown, and you become critical of others' shortcomings. Your focus on what's missing blinds you to the abundance already present in your life. This isn't just mentally draining - it physically ages you as each GAP experience creates microtrauma that compounds over time.
