Tradeoffs: The Currency of Decision Making

You absolutely can project "winning" at everything. It is possible to become the envy of everyone, though probably tough to do. Is that the goal and will it make you happy?

Living a fulfilling and meaningful life means growing up and see the backside of the shed always is in need of a paintjob, there's always one thing more to attain, one more V in the checklist, then decide what truly matters. Trying to live up to impossible and meaningless standards won't make a person happy in the longer term, so can be prioritized down. Doesn't mean you don't strive for something better when you truly want such pursuits. But the balance and attention to what's important to you, may reinvigorate and make space for wonders!
