The drive to work hard and relentlessly is often fueled by unhealthy neuroticism. It is common for those seeking to be their best to have this underlying drive. However, this drive may not lead to true freedom and fulfillment. Finding something that one loves and is passionate about provides the key to freedom. It requires taking risks and letting go of the familiar. Therapy can be helpful in facing traumas and finding freedom. Regular therapy sessions provide an opportunity to clear one's mind and gain valuable insights. Intense work in spurts of time, combined with consistency, can be beneficial without over-pathologizing oneself.
