when the goalpost keeps on moving
from the ash gracie podcast Hosted by anoushka hem
why is it that even when we’re creating, improving, and achieving the things we’ve worked towards, we can still feel like we’re not quite good enough? in this episode of the quiet fire, i’m exploring why creatives so often tie their sense of worth to their work, and what happens when every achievement becomes another reason to raise the bar. we’ll talk about the difference between wanting to improve and feeling like you have something to prove, the way comparison distorts our perception of progress, and why no amount of external validation can make us feel enough if we keep moving the goalpost. because there’s nothing wrong with wanting more for yourself, growing as an artist, or pursuing bigger opportunities. but your worth was never supposed to depend on how far you’ve come. maybe the goal isn’t to finally become good enough, but to learn how to create from the belief that you already are.
