House of Yngling IV: Harald Fairhair - His Purpose and Happiness

Between Two Ravens: A Norse Mythology Podcast

In this episode, Shawn continues his series on the "House of Yngling", which starts with Harald cutting his hair for the first time in 10 years, after successfully his life goal after becoming the King of Norway. We see that although Harald accomplished his dream, his overall ambition doesn't change, and he still seems to live his life in the same way as he eager to aggression, and still looking for just one more wife to sire him many sons.
Shawn then discusses the idea that accomplishing goals may lead to a loss of purpose for the person who accomplished it, and again the idea that humans need to find a balance in their lives. In this case, the balance between having goals and ambitions, but also taking a step back and enjoying the present moment and your journey, the latter of which may be harder in today's world.
