We can’t have everything. And that just makes us want it even more.

What is it that creates that drive to get what we can’t have? For some of us, it’s the thrill of the chase. Catch Me If You Can is a great example of that type of personality. For others, it’s the “trophy” effect: being able to show off to everyone what you were able to get and that no one else could.

Unfortunately, that “forbidden fruit” is a short-lived high. Once you’ve got what you couldn’t have, it’s no longer as “sweet” as it once was. Time to find something else.

Enjoy the chase… be proud of your trophy… but know it’s not a fairy tale ending.
