I used to be a classic workaholic, and after seeing how little work and career really mean when you reach the end of your life, I put a new emphasis on things I believe count more. These things include: family, friends, being part of a community, and appreciating the little joys of the average day.
That was all and it was enough for me: fantasies are better left fantasies.
Why waste time trying to discover the truth, when you can so easily create it?
