I’m 35 and feeling like I should have achieved more by now.
The only problem is that I’ve felt I should have achieved more every year since I can remember.
I now live in a house I own outright (no mortgage), have no debts, a gorgeous girlfriend, some cats and have an ego the size of Texas.
So I guess I’m doing OK, really. But I still feel that I should have done more.
Here’s the benchmarks:
When he died, age 33, Alexander The Great had conquered the known world.
When he died, age 33, Jesus Christ had come, redeemed the world and been crucified.
When he died, age 29, Hank Williams had reinvented country music and written at least half a dozen songs that are standards now.
I don’t think I’m competing, really.
