Overachievers constantly strive for a sense of fulfillment, meaning, and mattering. 99.89% of our effort is pointless. Here’s what actually gets us what we want.

I’ve coached hundreds of overachievers for more than 2 decades. And every year, I see this process repeated: 

The start of a new year tends to showcase how fully we cram our lives with activity that doesn’t really deliver the satisfaction we crave.

Care to know what does?

Healthy relationships with the most important people in your life. 

You might remember the day you landed the “big account,” bought your first luxury car or got a promotion. However, none of these events stir up the same emotions as when you think about your wedding day, the birth of your first child, or the loss of a close relative.

The undeniable truth is that the contentment you want doesn’t come through accumulating stuff, earning recognition, or promotions.

It comes through intentional reprioritization around what really matters: the people who make life worth living.
