> Life is full of decisions, and unfortunately attaining excellence requires commitment, dedication, and focus. You can do alright otherwise, but if you really want this and have the aptitude to reach the top, it will consume you. I think you've decided that you don't want a family/etc. any time soon. No problem with that. But the other side of life that isn't about work requires lots of commitment, dedication, and focus. It doesn't work well if you don't put in the time and the effort. So, I'll add one word to your list of excellence-attaining requirements: balance. You'll need it if you ever want more than just work. And you also might realize that a singular focus on one thing is not worth as much as you thought. I don't think you made the better decision among the potential universe, you just made a different decision. Curious to hear more from you about what you want beyond work.
