Contents of a book
Cover, table of contents, introduction, and a bunch of chapters, leading up to the closing.
Our life could be summarized the same way…
We’re born, we live life, and then we die.
What do we want those chapters to be about?
What do we want people to say about us when we die?
These are important questions to ask because sacrificing long term gains for short term pleasure could land us in a spot where it doesn’t align with our answers from above.
And if we don’t want to spend time answering the questions (and one’s like it) then that’s fine.
Because it’s no one else’s life but ours. We can do as much or as little as we want.
