I heard these words from Connor Mcgregor recently, and I can definitely relate a little bit. I’m definitely in the category of the guy who is quite ambitious and “obsessed” with what he wants to do.

I find myself questioning whether it's worth it. I can see the pull of the classic 9–5 life, but these same people who pursue the 9–5 regular life often come to me asking questions of meaning and worthiness. So I truly do wonder, is the beaten path not so bad anyway?

Let's say I accomplish all I set out to achieve, I get a fulfilling work day with more income than I need. Financial freedom and freedom of time.

But what if the majority of life's fulfillment comes from relating to other humans? What then? What if you can only relate to the hyper ambitious entrepreneurs around you? I mean who do Elon and Jeff hang out with? I do wonder.

Anyway, I’m just thinking out loud here really. Logically, I know this may just be conjecture.
