We often pursue goals with the idea that we have to accomplish something or that we will be fulfilled by completing the next thing on our life to-do list.
The things that bring us real joy and satisfaction like family, time with good friends, and a focus on health, mental and physical, deserve much more of our time and attention.
I always say that life is short. I’ll add that we need to use our time in ways that actually matter to us, and not in ways that satisfy what society says we have to do.
We all have different factors that drive us. I think what ultimately sets us down a path that isn’t right for us, is comparing our journey to that of others.
