What are some symptoms that a high achiever should be looking for, which are like the quiet signals that they're winning on paper, but, but they're not possibly winning in life yet?
Yeah. You're doing the same thing over and over again. You're losing that joy, that fulfillment. You're questioning a lot of things like in life.

However, if you're not getting up in the morning and have a good understanding of what your priorities are, and in your gut it's getting you happy and excited— maybe you're still tired, but you know what you need to do— then you're living a life of more clarity.
