If you find yourself unhappy regardless of what you achieve, lack of achievement may not be your problem.
Achievement is a deceptive thing.
From the outside, achievement looks like it will bring you satisfaction, but that which drives you toward achievement is not satisfied by outcomes.
The part of you that pursues success does not actually want success.
It simply wants more.
More, however, does not, in fact it cannot, bring you happiness, at least not in a lasting, meaningful way.
The desire for more is insatiable and happiness cannot be found in the insatiable.
While achievement may feel good for a moment, and it certainly feels better than failure, it does not address the cause for your unhappiness.
That you must address on your own, and it most likely will not be addressed with more.
