why do you have to push your self so hard to feel a sense of achievement?

Answer 1

Just ask yourself would you want it any other way?

Anything that's worth having is worth working for.

Nought comes easy.

Do you need a holiday?

Answer 2

I feel that the conclusion you ended up with is erroneous. I think that you work hard for other reasons

Pushing yourself- is working hard, and applying yourself. Doing more work than necessary, working more than the minimum requirement

Your reasons are usually simple, and "To feel a sense of achievement" would not even be close.

In fact, if you ask many people will cite reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with getting a "sense of achievement". Whenever you see that phrase in a resume, toss that resume out of the pile! .Lol

Here is a list of realistic, believable replies;.

1. To catch the attention of the boss, to get into his/her good books.
2. To catch the attention of the customer, to get the business.
3. To master the job, to excel.
4. You are a workoholic.
5. It is your "slave" gene. You are wired to work.
6. Your idea of success is based on the premise of hard work.

Answer 3

i dont anymore, in fact maybe i should push a little harder sometimes
i find i am able to feel achievement over small things, making a small effort, perhaps this is because i now break almost everything down into steps, steps to achieve in order to achieve a goal, so then the sense of achievement comes with completing each step, or even trying to complete it

Answer 4

It comes naturally. You don´t even know that you are pushing yourself. When you are motivated to achieve something, you do it with excitement. It is not tedious hard yakka.

Answer 5

Not sure if that is applicable all the time, sometimes nice things happen that have nothing to do with me. In answer to question, anything that I get easy, I let it go easy. You get out of life what you put into it. Does that help?

Answer 6

Because I wouldn't do anything if I did't.

Answer 7

I don't have to any more, I'm retired and absolutely loving it !

Answer 8

I don't!...
