RE: Thoughts from a Pond park | Ambitious vs Overambitious: The ambiguity of having enough
That blind ambition is the thief of joy and I'm happy to be realizing it in my late 30's. I read an article about the most common regrets people make on their death beds and it's always the same. "I wish I took more time to enjoy life.", "I wish I didn't work so much.". It really left an impression on me. I've been thrust in to a very busy life because of my job, and with that comes a lot of travel and stress...but in the last few years especially, I've gotten better about making time to take time. This photo looks just like my afternoon yesterday. Me, @guthrie and @vermillionfox went to the park and read books under a tree. Granted, a tweeker showed up and screamed at the garbage can until the cops arrived, then a distracted driver rear ended a stopped car because the driver was oogling the scene, but the point is WE WENT TO THE PARK! Always love these life excerpts, @anomadsoul! Enjoy your time.
There's still time man, you realized about it early. Imagine those who realized about it too late and they have only regrets to show for themselves... I get you, I try to have conversations with old people as much as I can and I got similar points of view in the matter. From what I've seen from your job, it is a pretty cool one but yeah, seems like a stressing one some times.
The park life, always underrated and overlooked man, I can't tell you how many times I avoided going there in Mexico and now I just got a new love for this kind of afternoons. I can tell you one thing, wherever I am, I am always gonna be a park in the afternoon kind of guy :)
Thanks for dropping by!!
