You're so afraid of wasting your life that you've forgotten to live it.

Three years ago, you said you'd be happy when you hit $100K. Then it was $200K. Then $500K. Now you're making more money than your parents ever dreamed of, and you're still not living the life you promised yourself you'd live when you "made it."

Every achievement creates a new problem. Every level unlocked reveals ten more levels. Every financial milestone gets swallowed by lifestyle inflation and the discovery of people who have even more.

You've become a world-class life manager and an amateur human being.

The cruel irony? In your desperate attempt to avoid mediocrity, you've created something worse: absence.
