[...] good example of this is when I posted to say If It’s Not Hard, You’re Not Making Progress. I had noticed that I wasn’t making progress in a couple of areas in my life and wondered [...]

Thanks, S@rzi. I think many of us are struggling with how to reach that next stage in whatever we’re working on. Sometimes it just takes more effort, more passion, whatever…

I also find your take on things in your blog to be fascinating. It makes the world of big business seem much more real and accessible. Thanks for your comment!

Hi Diesel. Yeah, I think this idea can be applied to everything in life in some way or another. It’s not always a bad thing to stay at some level once it’s been achieved, but maybe that’s a call to try work on some other area of life. Thanks for commenting!

Thanks, AnnaLaura. There is actually some statistical evidence out there that not having challenges in life can lead to higher incidences of disease and depression. We humans may just be built for meeting lots of challenges. Thanks for your comment!

Interesting. I’ve had similar thoughts about moral/spiritual development. Upon achieving some goal the tendency is to feel that you’ve “made it”, when in fact you’ve just reached another floor to push off from.

Thanks, Alan. That’s a great quote, too, about climbing the new mountain. Maybe everyone’s not like this, but I always want to be striving towards something newer and better. It keeps life interesting…

I think this is caused because of not having as Jim Rohn says “Plenty more to go for”. We had the goal and strived for it, but once we reached it the momentum stopped because we didn’t have another goal to work on, something that excites us and we can jump right into. Like Jim says, “Let the end of your life catch you climbing a new mountain, not sliding down an old one”. Very interesting post Ray.
