I've learned I don't like working on things I'm not interested in. I tried a certain career path for a long time, but it wasn't for me. The closer I got to the job, the less I wanted it.
When I started doing what I liked, I was happier and did better. Chasing dreams doesn't always make you happy. I want to be happy in the long run. I like doing work I enjoy,
buying good stuff, and spending time with my family. I don't care about being famous or remembered if it makes me sad. I think many people might feel the same.
I'd rather be happy in a simple life than be unhappy in a busy one.
I think growing up, many of us dream about the great things we will do, I was one of the people who had a harder time accepting that most people dont end up doing
great things. I had to accept that what really mattered was being happy, and not my selfish desire to have some sort of mark on the world.
Like, you might have wanted to be a doctor, part for the money, part to help people, part to make people proud. When you realize you can do all those things with
quicker efficiency in other ways, it hurts your motivation to the goal, but your own pride of wanting the title can only keep you going so far.
