I changed my mind about what constitutes a fulfilling life for me. I realized that I personally could not live a life consisting solely of devotion to work and consumption of luxury goods. I started a family and have two wonderful children.
I still believe that investing in work is necessary and rewarding, and indulgences are a somewhat important part of life, but those alone are all kind of meaningless for me in the end. It’s the endless chase of another dragon.
With my children, I feel a greater sense of joy and accomplishment when I watch them grow. I’ve had higher highs raising kids than I ever did finding the next excursion I could go on or the hottest new company to work for.
