I actually had one canceled. But we're in the middle of a huge crisis so there's that instead. Probably going to have to work a few hours this weekend and Labor Day too.

It kinda makes sense to work on a day called labor day tho.

For a while now I've been left with a feeling that I've not lived up to my "potential" in life and am very unaccomplished. I just think of where I wanted to be while I was younger and see where I am now, and it just doesn't feel good enough. It's not just employment wise, but in terms of where I am in life (house/wife/kids/etc). I realize that in real terms, things could be a lot worse off than they are, but they could be better too all things considered. Overarching goals obviously have to change depending on the circumstances that you find yourself in as well, but there's just that feeling that I should've done more when looking at the bigger picture and realizing that I haven't taken the most optimal paths in life.

I guess it's just a part of getting older, and that you just have to accept that more correct choices in life could've been made.

That's just not the way causality works. Imo a part of getting older is to fight thoughts about what could've been and staying in the game to improve whatever you want.

And yet, things can change unexpectedly. You know life isn't linear in terms of "success". Tomorrow you could meet your future wife and your whole world will have changed almost immediately.

Why do you think you haven't achieved what you wanted (except career wise, there are way too many variables)?

I think a lot of people around our age have those same thoughts at one point or another. I don’t care so much about having a family, but definitely feel like I could have done a lot more with my career, being an executive or owning my own company already. Guess I’m just lazy and like to party too much. But some things don’t always work out and yes, it could be a lot worse. And like the dude above said, everything can change on a dime.

 

[AFL_ITALIA]

Take more risk

I definitely need to, I'm naturally very risk-averse. This is something I've recognized for a while, so I try to take on some extra risk here and there in situations where it wouldn't be potentially physically harmful to do so.

That's just not the way causality works. Imo a part of getting older is to fight thoughts about what could've been and staying in the game to improve whatever you want.

Yeah for sure. That's the other side of it really, as long as you're still alive and healthy then you do have at least some measure of control over things to exploit.

This is true, and what I tell myself a lot

Some things are out of my control of course, but a bunch of reasons. But misplaced effort, not enough effort, sub-optimal choices, lack of risk-taking in order to avoid failure or rejection, a multitude of reasons.

You need to find enjoyment in life too, can't hit yourself for that. We only get one life afterall. What company would you start, out of curiosity?

A lot of the anxiety you feel is to do with an unconscious need to get validation from the Other. "Success" is measured when compared to others in the same age/background/etc ..., and/or driven by living up to the expectations of others(usually family). The first part is pretty self explanatory, you are deemed successful because you are part of the top percentile in whatever group you identify with, be it in money, fame, social standing, the quality of your mate... The second one is a little more entangled. A lot of people were told they were special and lived most of their existence in a big fish small pond setting believing that very notion. Others were born in cultures that put a lot of pressure on them to go all or nothing in fields that only take in very few. Whatever the case, the other is central to this anxiety/suffering.

You can read up on jungs archetypes to get an idea of what brings the most satisfaction for a more personal definition of success. But for me i keep it pretty simple. You are either:

Farmer
Warrior
Nobleman

Farmers have come to terms with their mediocrity and their station in life. They embrace the stability this realization brings. They pursue endeavors that keep the boat from rocking ex: steady job, a house, family, dog, and go out to a fancy dinner/vacation every now and then. They deal with the anxiety of the other, through resignation.

Warriors choose to fight and let the arena determine their station in life. They embrace risks and go on adventures farmers psyche cannot handle. They will eventually become farmers, succumb to the wounds of their pursuit, or win. They are either delusional or despise the boredom of a farmers' life. They use the anxiety as a fuel for their pursuit.

Nobles are the keepers of their brothers. Their only concern with the other is how they could be of assistance. Not to be confused with those who seek social validation through explicit acts of benevolence. The real noble pities both farmers and warriors(successful ones or otherwise), and transcends the others pressure and feel little to none of its anxiety.

Most of us have all 3 battling inside us. But eventually one of them will come out on top. Only way to find out is to test the waters.
