Are you really on the grind for the bread? Is the reason you do things for the outcome, or the journey? You will die. You will be forgotten. Even the cruelest are forgotten, Ozymandias’s visage is buried in a desert.
Life is the journey, but the question of what to spend a life doing is an open question and you may play many roles in the cosmic play. Are you an explorer, a tactician, a paver?
You’re ultimately your own narrator. So, you can tell stories that speak to your strengths rather than your frailties.
I want to do things that I’m passionate and eager about therefore I try to do more of what I love, and reduce that which I hate.
