The Arrival Fallacy: Why Arriving Isn't Enough?

In this episode, Sanjay reflects on a common illusion of the human mind: the belief that happiness lies just beyond the next achievement. The promotion, the relationship, the degree, the dream fulfilled — each promises a sense of completion, yet the satisfaction often fades sooner than expected.
This episode explores the arrival fallacy, the tendency to imagine that reaching a destination will permanently transform our lives. When the long-awaited moment finally arrives, many discover that fulfillment cannot be found in milestones alone.
This is a meditation on purpose, contentment, and the art of living in the present. It asks a simple but profound question: if happiness is always waiting at the next destination, when do we ever truly arrive?
