I quit my job to write a book about late bloomers

i had lunch with a friend who was diagnosed with cancer, but then later found treatment to keep it at bay. i asked him what his thoughts were when he was first diagnosed, he shared that he wished he would have pushed things further to have more success in business.

maybe he was just sharing his business related thoughts with me, but i was left thinking about how i shouldn't put to much emphasis on achieving goals and just enjoying the ups and downs of the journey.

i think it is good to focus on accomplishments, but sometimes i just enjoy going through the motions of sitting down and completing one task, or debugging something that i won't figure out, or just drinking a cup of coffee and reading only one chapter of a book not to finish the rest.
