Default Re: Personal Question: Stress and Success

Standard for your type. I am the same way. My gf is the opposite and of the two types, I think she is far better off. She enjoys her success and is mostly happy most of the time. I am almost never happy with my results. I am always looking at the next level and thinking I need to get there.

A good coping mechanism is to focus on the process rather than the results. The joyis in the climb, rather than reaching the summt. That's what I try to do and it makes for a happier life. Otherwise, I think you run the rsisk of never being happy with your life.
