Day 1244 - Feb.22.22 - What even is ‘there?’
You’ll get there on day. But here lies the dilemma, what even is ‘there?’ Get where? To ultimate happiness? To achieving all your goals? Then what? Does life just stop after that? Happiness and fulfilment are not a destination, it’s a journey. It’s appreciating all the moments along the way. The memories with friends. The quality time with family. The tears during university and the drunk nights with your boys. All of it. That’s what you need to enjoy. All these rich and famous people who are running on a hamster wheel for what? To prove themselves better than everyone? To satisfy their own ego? To make themselves feel better by being adored? Yet if you want to make an impact, particularly at the scale you’re imagining, you are searching for those things as well. Regardless of the good and bad that come along with it, enjoy all the struggle and good fortune along the way. Enjoy the different phases of life and don’t feel rushed to get into the next one. Enjoy the one in front of you. Make the most of it. Keep investing in yourself and your development. All this self work has pushed me to think bigger, push harder, stay patient and be happy with the process. The work you’re doing will pay off soon. Till then, enjoy the moments along the way.
