"So yes, you can have it all.

Just not all at once."

Interesting take. I'll have to consider that.

This is a question I think about regularly. When does ambition defeat contentedness? Excellent article, and thanks for posting!

Geez, yes. You can only spread yourself so thinly, right? Life is too short to master every fascinatingly masterable pleasure in the entire universe. Though then again, maybe you could take a leaf out of Star Trek TNG, and its android character Data's pursuit of becoming human, knowing that he'll never reach this, simply because the journey itself is reward enough. Merely attempting to master oodles of things is already a ton of fun.

Well said Mikey. We spread thinly and have the fear of missing out which makes life miserable. It is important to pick out few and enjoy the journey..

Yes! It is true! All of it! Some people are making it look like it is necessary to have it all and do it all other wise you have failed. But.. failed in what? Life is life and has a different taste for everyone! Thank you for that! πŸ™πŸ»β™₯️
