At 37 starting over isn't the risk. Spending another 20 years miserable is.
At 28, 32, 37, 49... you're a kid, you got so much fucking time... I fucking worked at a liquor store when I was 34. At 37? You got fucking 40 more years of just operating, and then you'll decide at 77 if you want to keep going or chill.
You got time ♥️
Your most valuable asset isn’t your time, it’s your attention.
A man with time and distractions will always lose to the man with a deadline and singular focus.
Could it be that everything is fine and complete as is?
Type-A personalities have goal pursuit as default hardwiring. This is excellent for producing achievement, but also anxiety, as you’re constantly future-focused. I’ve personally decided that achievement is no more than a passing grade in life. It’s a C+ that gets you limping along to the next grade. For anything more, and certainly for anything approaching happiness, you have to want what you already have.
