Choose What is Important
Because Our-Lives-Are-Brief and You-Will-Die, it’s important to Acknowledge-Your-Limitations. Once we have done this, we need to Be-Present and focus on what is important to you in order to create the life you want. But you cannot choose too many, because Any-Decision-Eliminates-Others.
The actual choosing is hard, but essential.
You have to choose a few things, sacrifice everything else, and deal with the inevitable sense of loss that results. Four-Thousand-Weeks-by-Oliver-Burkeman-2021
