2. Earlier achievements != More enjoyment time

If you achieve a milestone earlier, will you be able to enjoy it for a longer time?

Ideally, yes.

But we never really know.

  • Things in life are impermanent. We are all on God's clock.
  • I could die tomorrow in some freak accident. Then, I’ll no longer be able to enjoy the fruits of my labor.

What we can do is make the best of what we have in the present.

Enjoy your days, whether you achieve something or not.
