If you're never satisfied, it's going to cause you to work harder. Self loathing is like a dirty fuel, right? It's like this green, clean energy. The problem is, when you burn it, it pollutes the hell out of your life in your mind. For a lot of people, that's what we care about. That's all we want to be successful; then we'll have respect and money. This attitude is contrary to flow state. You can't attain the flow state if you're beating yourself up. All they really care about is that everyone else performs well unless you do too.
