So weird, I was listening to this song when I read this post.

I'm in my 40s, and at this point I feel more that life is just meant to be lived. Achievements are part of that, but they aren't all of it. I try to take a little from each day. Moments of connection, moments of meaning. I do the things I need to do because they make my life better and the lives of the people I love better. Better can be a tricky concept, always just out of reach, but there is also joy in making life more comfortable, fun, pleasant.

Achievements are fun. Making the world a bit better is satisfying. But your life is for you, and it waits. It will wait for whatever amount of time you are blessed with.
