Despite having more success than most wrestlers, Owens struggles with finding happiness and contentment.

He confided in Vince McMahon, telling the WWE CEO that he was never happy and that he was consumed with a desire for more no matter how much he achieved. McMahon had some advice for Owens, "It's OK to always want more, but you've got to find a way to be happy."

It isn't like Owens isn't trying. He went to Shawn Michaels, his childhood idol, for advice.

Owens told Lilian Garcia,

"It was the night after the Bobby Lashley match on TV and I was going into surgery, and I was going to be gone....I was telling him [Shawn Michaels] about how I was looking forward to the time off, not even to heal my knees, but to heal my head, not physically, but mentally. For 4 years it had been non-stop and it was draining. He told me, 'Yeah, you know, I was kind of like you where I took everything home and I was always obsessed with this stuff, but trust me now. I'm telling you, I wish it wasn't that way."

Owens used those five months away from the ring to assess how he would enjoy the special moments in his WWE career and although it's still a struggle, the WWE Superstar is putting forth his best effort.
