Someone with a sense of inner completeness, when presented with an opportunity or something extra, will respond in a calm and composed manner. And if that same person is deprived of something, they won’t freak out.

The point here isn’t about whether you should pursue something or give it up.
What truly matters is this: in the process of pursuit—whether you succeed or not—what impact does it have on your emotional state and peace of mind?

It’s not about chasing or not chasing.
It’s about how you are during the chase.
If you get what you’re after, can you stay grounded?
If you don’t, can you remain steady?

That’s the essence of what we’re trying to understand.
