High achievers like doctors and lawyers chase prestigious schools and careers, but external success never delivers the satisfaction they expect. No accomplishment can dictate how you actually feel inside.

In my work, I've seen that a lot of high achievers are initially driven by the challenge of succeeding in really ambitious fields. There are people that have ambitious goals, naturally, a lot of Doctors, lawyers, attorneys, CPAs. And they have always been the best at what they do. They took pride in getting the best grades of school, getting into the best schools, getting the best careers. And so they spend their whole life on these external reward systems that allow them to compete and reach a level of achievement. But it never satisfies the core element. And one of the things that you learned very quickly is that nothing external from you is going to dictate how you feel.
