I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how much time I spend worrying about things that, in the bigger picture, don’t really matter. Like you said, I think aligning our actions with our values matters most in life. Recently, i realise that is it better one lives their life to the fullest without really pleasing anybody or dwell ob what people would say on any decision taken in life.

Like you, I’m starting to realize that it doesn’t take much to feel content. Peace of mind, meaningful relationships, and doing work that feels useful; that’s it for me too. It’s comforting to read someone else going through the same kind of reflection.
