> But, then I would stay in the dream or possibility of what could happen if I did those things - but I wasn't actually doing enough to make them happen.

I know that one too well :) What do you have on your list? Just different things in areas of life or mainly productive-related stuff?

It is a goal of mine this year to practice gratitude. I started writing it down in a journal, and it feels powerful. A lot of emotions come out of it, good ones. I hope it will help me slow down a little.

> This is what winning at life feels like. It doesn't feel like winning.

That's a good one, and I might steal it one day :) And you are right.

I should start working on my gratitude because I genuinely have everything you could ever wish for.

I pretty much optimized my life around my young kids. That's why I got a remote job (before covid) and only work four days. I genuinely believe it will be the best investment in my lifetime, and I will look back and be proud I made that decision.

> I learned that I needed to create happiness where I was, not try to find it elsewhere

I fully agree, but it's really hard to do so even if you know that's the right way.
