High-achieving women often feel unfulfilled despite their success, as they've been conditioned to view achievements as prerequisites for happiness. The author shares a personal story of striving for academic excellence, believing that becoming a doctor would bring her joy and fulfillment. However, she learned that true joy is not a future reward but an essential part of the journey, emphasizing the importance of relationships over accomplishments in creating lasting happiness.
Too many women live in a joy deficit because we've been taught that happiness is something we'll earn later. True joy comes from relationships.
If joy isn't part of the journey, it won't magically appear at the destination. Embrace the mindset that 'good enough' is truly enough.
