Thirties. Married. First kid on the way this year. Consider your opening sentence. Who are you comparing yourself with? Most people don’t achieve much. You also aren’t owed anything. Time isn’t running out. You hold unhealthy expectation that you are owed a certain amount of life. Release that expectation. Read books about real people dealing with real problems. Write real people letters of gratitude and encouragement. Record for yourself your own ledger of gratitude. Learn how to cook and make a few good dishes. Invite people over to talk and enjoy time together. Finally consider the golden rule as diagnostic code. Whatever you love with all your heart will be your god. So don’t love your money, travel, or even time itself. They’re all pitiful gods. You will love other people the way you love yourself. Take an intentional and committed force of action to loving yourself. Be kind to yourself. The most serious relationship you have is the one with yourself. My sincere best to you on your journey. May you be blessed.
