Your Biggest Regret
More people die of heart attacks at 9:00am on Monday morning than any other time of the week. For everyone else, life has regressed to paying the bills and living for the weekend.
The majority of people on the planet are doing work that is monotonous, meaningless, and soul-numbing.
We go through the motions, day after day, living a predictable script. Work is just a way to pay the bills, to prove to your parents your college degree was worth it, and to feel like you're an adult.
You are doing what you're "supposed" to do. You followed the rules. You have a good job. You did all the right things. But you work to maintain a lifestyle you can't enjoy, and even when you do, no amount of pleasure, Netflix, or Ghirardelli Caramel Squares can drown out the nagging, restless sense that . . . something is missing.
THE PROBLEM
"The greatest tragedy of life is what dies inside a man while he lives."
