Struggle
On happiness and the meaning of life:
Overhead on a podcast, I heard Marc Andressen say “don’t focus on happiness, focus on satisfaction. Satisfaction comes when you put in hard work and experience pain in order to create some kind of value.”
A quote from Viktor Frankl drives home the same message.
“What man actually needs is not a tensionless state but rather the striving and struggling for some goal worthy of him.” – Viktor Frankl
How does this then tie with having enough?
