Thanks for the kind words, Stan! I’m also finding the feeling gets more subtle over time -- even in letting go of accomplishments in a big way in leaving Silicon Valley and choosing my own path, I find myself at times realizing that certain behaviors that I thought were purely motivated by joy have twinges of achievement-oriented motivations in them.
I love your work! Thanks for including me in the conversation. Looking forward to more.
Edmond - as always, poignant and deep. I think many high achievers feel the same way - I know I did, before I didn't
