Throughout human evolution, the desire for progress and improvement has been ingrained in our behavior. This drive stems from our ancestors' need to adapt and constantly seek better opportunities for survival. Although this trait was crucial in the past for finding food and shelter, it has now translated into a modern-day quest for success in various aspects like finances, status, achievement, and relationships.
