Maybe it's because you're constantly trying to achieve something!. Sometimes you need to just set back and enjoy what you have done!. Analyze it and take time to appreciate what you've done!. What you're describing might be workaholic ism!.

Or maybe you lived with people who always pushed you, i!.e!. parents, to do better, and thus you've gained that own force that drives you to accomplish things!. Again, just take to time to realize you've done a good job!.

Or maybe you haven't accomplished what you've wanted!? Do you really enjoy your job (or whatever you refer to accomplishing)Www@QuestionHome@Com

In my youth which was an unmentionable time ago I never looked that far ahead to see where I needed to go next!. Instead I looked at the race as one step at a time!. When I did this it made my race go faster!.

So in this life if you would stop looking at what you need to do next!. And work and appreciate the hard effort in the now!. I think you will be more satisfied and fulfilled at the end of the race!. Why!? Because you appreciated the time and the effort during the race!. And the appreciation includes having time with friends or family at necessary times!. Being with others and not losing connection to them helps as well!.

That's what I hope will help you!. Later!. Oh and mind the mud holes when it's raining!. Some of them are deeper than you think!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Usually people feel satisfaction after achieving a goal, particularly if it was difficult!. I think you have a problem with self-esteem - you're not giving yourself enough credit!. Try to be more generous with yourself!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
