When you've achieved everything you thought you wanted and life feels just fine, that emptiness is a signal to seek discomfort. Without valleys, peaks lose meaning. Purpose isn't found at the top but in the struggle.
Chapters
The problem was not that we had everything. The problem is fine. We have pretty much everything that we could have ever dreamed about our life, and everything is fine. When everything is fine. There is no juice in life. Only when you hit plateaus, you realize what plateaus are. All our plateaus are different, different stages of life. But more fine we hit. We realize fine is actually never fine. Fine is a calling. Fine is a remembrance of saying uncomfortable. Do something that's different, that's out of your genius, something that you should not be comfortable. But even if it, by world standards looks really good. Because when you are just fine, you're coasting, you're settling, you've forgotten what being a human being is. Being a human being is not about reaching a peak. It's about going through that valley. Because there is no joy in a peak if there is no valley.
