You never hear someone on their death bed complaining about how they wished they:
“got that promotion”
“bought that extra car”
“got that bigger house”
There is a difference between achievement and fulfilment. Achievements are never ending. Once you get them you don’t even have time to enjoy it because you are looking over the horizon for the next one.
People wish they did more like:
“say I love you more often”
“do work that fulfilled them”
“be present at family events”
I’m not saying to go on in life and be mediocre.
If you find each day a thing that makes your day worth it and be grateful that you’ve made it through another opportunity, this will compound drastically with time. Ironically, in time, this will eventually lead you to achieving what actually matters to you. Only this time it will be genuine and fulfilling.
You know what’s worse than failing at something and feeling miserable?
Achieving success and still feeling miserable.
