Understand that that's how life is but that doesn't mean you don't have control over it. What motivates me is thinking about how many years I have left, or how long I've spent and how much I've accomplished.
When I turned 25, I looked over my accomplishments and wondered if they were enough to merit a quarter of a century. I decided they that while they were satisfactory, I was not satisfied, and so I decided to rectify that before my next milestone: 30.
I've already accomplished more than most of my family & friends at my age, but for me that's a low bar. I want to put beat Jobs. If I shoot for the stars, at least I'll shoot past the moon.
Ps- I know what the saying is, but seriously, I never understand why people say it like that. The moon is closer than the stars!
- ken 8y ago> What motivates me is thinking about how many years I have left That's unknowable, and could be almost any number, including 0. Is that what you meant?
- amingilani 8y agoYes, sorry. I should have elaborated — I wrote that on mobile. I like to think that I can die at any point, and best case scenario, I'll die at 60. Oh, with one exception — savings. I haven't saved enough yet, but when it comes to savings, I pretend I'll live to be 150. 100 isn't an unthinkable age in our lifetimes, and with medical advances, I don't want to take any chances.
