Something I’ve been thinking about lately is the path that we’ve all been somewhat conditioned to take. And that is working really hard now so we can reap the rewards later.
It makes absolute sense and has helped me get where I am today. However, I’ve really started to wonder whether it’s still the road I want to be on for the rest of my life.
Taking care of my body, eating right and exercising, I can control. I can also try to avoid taking crazy unnecessary risks. But again, when it’s my time, it’s my time.
They didn’t say that life wasn’t good now, it was just the best in those times when looking back.
I’m trying to understand what it means to be content and happy. Another way of thinking about this is the idea of fulfillment.
I’m simply not content to trade time now for time in the future that might not come.
