Reminds me of the advice "Find your passion and let it kill you" only lets flip it so you compromise endlessly first and just accept the life this process finds. Neither approach is truly ever followed by their proponents, it just rings humble and selfless and without responsibility. How agreeable. Why would my vision for life be an error and the visions that come from interacting with others or "the context" be without error? You get better at vision when you maintain higher standards for yourself, not when you loosen aims as failure approaches and look at your happiness from 30,000 feet in a daily journal. You do have to decide who you want to be at some point, always with limited information. But willing a great life for yourself is in no way like designing inanimate products to be released.
