Quote by Elizabeth Gilbert
When somebody has an enormous success in this culture, people start asking two questions, which are 'What are you doing now?' and 'How are you going to beat that?' And I have to say, I love the assumption that your intention is to beat yourself constantly - that you're in battle against yourself.
Summary
This quote highlights the societal pressure placed on individuals to constantly outdo themselves after achieving significant success. It challenges the assumption that one's purpose should always be to surpass their previous accomplishments. Instead, it suggests embracing a mindset focused on personal growth and improvement, rather than an unending competition against oneself.
