Great question.
One for the ages.
No doubt for me, that has changed over time. When I was younger I probably would have said financial independence. Not that I don’t want that now, but as I grow older I see the world through a slightly different lens than a few decades ago.
Peace of mind. Freedom to choose. Leaving the world having contributed something that makes this place better because of me and my actions. Empowering others and the elimination of suffering come to mind to me now.
Whether it’s feasible or not, I’m not sure. But, I suppose it’s something to shoot for.
My point: We must get clear on where we’re going if we ever want to show up at our destination.
Otherwise, we’re going to be driving ourselves in circles – otherwise called – going mad.
