Curse of The Relentless

You are guilty of not letting yourself feel the wins—only the failures.

You dismiss even the smallest victories, choosing instead to obsess over what wasn’t done well.

You have trained your mind to see only the gaps, the flaws, the missed targets. That same discipline that drives your growth often robs you of joy.

Why don’t you feel worthy of celebration Why do you only find pleasure in the pain of progress? What is it within you that blocks the experience of achievement?

Your inner drive relentlessly mocks you, whispering that you haven’t done enough—spurring you to do more, to be more.

It’s the curse of the relentless: to strive endlessly without allowing the heart to feel the quiet satisfaction of progress.

“You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them.” — Michael Jordan
