If you’re alive,
if you have a roof over your head,
if you have food and water,
if you have friends and family who you love and love you back,
if you have all or any combinations of these things: congratulations, you’ve already won the lottery multiple times over.
By all means, keep pursuing your goals, but don’t deprive yourself of savoring and appreciating what you have along the way.
