“Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.”
- Epicurius

The decisions you make today create the life your future self gets to enjoy. The life you enjoy today results from the decisions your past self made.

A good life is lived in the balance between what we strive for and what we have already achieved. It’s easy to constantly look forward to what we hope to achieve and miss the opportunity to enjoy what our past self worked hard for.
