# The Point of Overcoming Overcoming By:: [[Ross Jackson]] 2024-09-20 Life can be an endless struggle. It seems there is always some goal to achieve or some deficit to correct. The drive for improvement is potentially written in our DNA. At some point, one might overcome overcoming. Acceptance isn’t always negative. It isn’t necessarily lazy to resist the call of an ambitious life. Adversity can challenge us to do great things. It can be rewarding, financially and mentally, to win. To the degree that these things make people happy and not just busy, that is great. The issue arises when it doesn’t. If people become so consumed with the competition that they can’t enjoy their life, that is a problem. Overcoming overcoming is a paradox. One that is worth reflecting on over a cup of coffee. #### Related Items [[Coffee]] [[Achievement]] [[Life]] [[Suffering]] [[Inspiring]] [[Paradox]]
