Challenging yourself and setting goals is essential for personal growth and fulfillment. It's like embarking on a hero's journey, striving to become better and make a difference in the world. Sitting idle isn't satisfying because humans need challenges. By setting ambitious goals, like aiming to be the top in your field, you're constantly moving forward. This pursuit may involve some voluntary unhappiness by always chasing something in the future, potentially deferring immediate contentment. The pursuit of goals can hinder the ability to appreciate the present moment, as noted by the saying, 'you can't smell the roses from a galloping horse.'
