Let Go of Other Possible Existences

In his latest newsletter James Clear included a quote from the physician Chris Ballas I felt was brilliant and true enough to requote here:

“The goal of adulthood is to let go of the other possible existences and to make the best of the one. A successful adult is one who understands that it doesn’t matter which life you ultimately pick, only that you live it well. The same potential for, say, happiness exists whether you are a construction worker, porn actor, or wealthy industrialist.”
