It should come as no surprise to anyone that I value the process of working towards a goal more than the actual achievement of the goal. The climb feels better than the fleeting moment of fulfillment. The sense of progress is the prize. Not the reward itself.
So what will you do after you reach the peak? Once the climb is over, and there's no higher to progress? Your life is perfect - what could ever be worth working towards after this?
As of now, I don't know.
The old me would probably say something about choosing a new mountain and beginning a new climb. But that old me had the dream life safely tucked away, untouched, so that there would be something to look forward to in the future. (A nice hack, I have to admit.)
But the present me has everything. I have my dream job. I'm living the dream life. I have everything I could ever need, and the things I want but don't yet have in my physical reality, I trust are on the way to me.
So what's left to dream about? What's left to chase?
Somehow, I'm unwilling to think that all there's left for me to do is sit back and enjoy the ride.
