How do you find continuous motivation to live life to the fullest with those expectations?



One’s happiness or sadness is directly related to his expectations.
Balance is the key in everything.

My dreams have pretty much come to fruition.

My biggest question is what to add to the bucket list next.

I'm well past the age you asked this question to but I do understand the feeling and the only answer I have for it is bourbon. Lots of bourbon

Goddamn this is a depressing thread. Just try to find happiness in your life. Do as best as you can for your family. That's success.

You can try to deal with it and I can get philosophical here trying to help you, or I can just tell you the truth:

Buy Bitcoin and don’t settle for shite.

if you live in real world you observe that even with extraordinary effort and preparation you may not accomplish the goal.
pure luck happens.
dumbass hits on long shot idea bet.
great engineer has his idea stolen by Chinese and sold for 10 cents on the dollar.

the thread has great answers.
get back on the horse but choose transcendent goals.

does your plan really yield delight each day?
what is success?

the sorrow you see on the OT always looks down on us as a dark shadow.
your darling young one dies from disease or accident.
you better have a spiritual practice because you may be ripped off.
old age comes even for billionaires with centerfold wives.

My issue is the opposite. I was the screw up who turned out very successful. Accomplished the most in my family. Now I am retiring from the military and looking for what is next.

The older you get, the more perspective you have. The dreams you had when you were young evolve.

When I come home from work and get to see my little girl, my life seems pretty fulfilled.

Personally, I'm must going to kick back and wait for the comet to blaze in and bring me sweet relief.

First you acknowledge that your teachers and the media lied to you and convinced you that you were special.
