**What Is Enough, and Why Do We Always Want More?**

๐ŸŽฏ You reach a goal you worked hard for, and a week later it feels like nothing. Why does that happen, and what does it say about how we should live? We'll take one simple idea, the difference between activities that have a finish line and activities that don't, and test it against real situations from our own lives.

๐Ÿงญ A small, focused conversation for people who like to think things through. We test ideas against real life, give reasons and examples, and treat changing your mind as a win.

**๐Ÿ’ญ Questions we will explore**
\- Why does reaching a goal so often feel smaller than expected?
\- What happens to a hobby once you start keeping score?
\- Is "enjoy the process" wise advice\, or a luxury for people who have already made it?
\- What do you do that you would never want to finish?

**๐Ÿ“– Before you come**
Please read our [guide to words and definitions](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1YnYxuiG2AnzPgM40r_pAf1CCBea5riIU/edit?slide=id.p1#slide=id.p1). Bring one goal or project of your own where the question right now is "and then what?" It may become our case, and you won't have to share anything private.

**๐Ÿช‘ Seats**
