Fulfillment doesn't come from infinite leisure. Fulfillment and joy come from spending your limited precious energy and remaining time in this world on what you choose, not what an employer decides for you.
...I worked as an employee for over 20 years. I had a bad habit of losing myself in my work...
I still lose myself at times, but only because I'm excited about something I'm creating for myself, not for some employer. However, I've found that if I'm lost for an extended period, my family and friends really miss me, so I try to keep it balanced. Larry, we really missed you when you were a corporate drone. Much better since.

Thank you, Peter! It’s good to be back. I really miss working with you and the crew. We had some good times. 😃
