A high point of possible achievement- is there one or can we reach as high as we choose to? We can always aim for and reach higher if we have what it takes. The higher we want to reach, the greater the price is to pay. If we don't, that accomplishment-though it will be credited to us- would only cripple us preventing us from enjoying it.The whole effort then becomes nullified (with the pain it causes) making it a pointless achievement because at the end of it we are too weakened to actually sit back and enjoy it.

We seem to have the perception that by limiting ourselves, saying that we've done enough, we don't allow ourselves to reach our heights. We tell ourselves that there's never enough to be done and that we have done that and whatever else is there to do beyond that is a matter of pride.

Why is it that we try to achieve anything at all in the first place? We've all got a desire to achieve something, maybe that is our purpose. An achievement that we value satisfies us, it puts our souls at peace. When you do accomplish such a feat, if you allow yourself to enjoy it after, you'll find yourself not wanting more because the urge of your soul to achieve it has been satisfied. If the achievement is not something you value, you'll look for that achievement which you value in other achievements till you find it. We hide this search for satisfaction of accomplishment with our efforts to achieve better and better, more and more, higher and higher which are of no avail.

Instead of wasting our time and energy this way, we should figure out what we really want and then let that put our souls at peace by first achieving it and then allowing ourselves to enjoy it. Till that peace keeps our souls at rest, there is no need to achieve anything more. We can relax in that satisfaction that that accomplishment gives us until we run out of it again.

Let us learn to enjoy a job well done. The result of a job done voluntarily is satisfaction of the soul because of the joy and happiness that it brings to the soul. It has its own sacrifice and suffering but they are enjoyable because we know what they will result in.
