Or new goals. Personally, I've found that I'm most content in the chase, achievement of a goal or culmination of a plan has far less allure. A decade ago I wanted to be good at a particular thing, I think i handled it well, but once there I found that it didn't satisfy me the way I had hoped, the next goal was just to wake up the next day -obviously handled that- wasn't content, new decade, new goals, new chase, new avenues for fulfillment. I don't know, I suppose survival doesn't seem like a forced issue to me, and it's definitely part of what I would consider my "ideal life". A part that I enjoy, I guess I'd have to add.
