Turning forty and having kids has been awesome. I spent the prior 20 years so ambitious and so worried I wouldn’t make something of myself. I was always reading books and watching YouTube videos on business,leadership, and self improvement. Staying up all night coding. I got pretty lucky and created a small business when I was 32. That business is still alive today, but I don’t put anymore effort into it aside from doing customer support. That’s probably a big part of why I feel like I can finally sit back and enjoy my life and children. I’ve always had low expectations, and I feel like I accomplished more than I thought I would. I haven’t made that big of a dent, but it’s been enough for me. I don’t know where I’m going with all this. I’m just glad I’m not constantly thinking about success—it can be so draining. I used to be worried about becoming who I am now, satisfied, somewhat complacent. It’s the happiest I’ve ever been.
