Being driven has it’s place in life, but we’ve always kept it balanced. Imo, being driven to the point of destroying your life, even when there is no financial necessity, points to a far deeper need one is trying to fulfill.
We never wanted to be the kind of people you hear about who worked themselves to death making a fortune and never had the time to enjoy it.
Life is short, and none of us really know how much time we’ll have on earth, so, imo, it’s best to make the most of life along the way.
