There's no finish line to reach.

There's no game to win or lose.

It doesn't matter what you do while you're here, and it won't matter when you're gone.

You set your own goals and create your own ambitions.

It feels good when you succeed.

You only have now, spend it happy.

People place wayyyyyyy too much value on their thoughts at the end of life. If for 99% of your life you thought you should be chasing certain goals and you do that, that's a very good thing. You know what you want and you spend your time on that. That's great!

If you happen to change your mind at the very end, who the eff cares? You regret it for 5 minutes and then die. So what.

You are stuck in the niche that genetics, and the environment placed you. Deal with it and quit looking for loopholes! Unless of course you think you are wiser than God and natural selection!

While you are alive do the best you can. Its about the race not the ending. The ending for all living creatures is death.

Ambition is what allows people to achieve and live a good life, while the pot heads sit stoned pondering creating threads like this.

Ambition is the difference between merely being alive and living.

I see a lot of ambitious people in this thread who aren't comfortable considering they may be wasting their time.

You may have goals and objectives. However, when these interfere with the being in the present, the cost-benefit should be considered. In the art of learning humility is very helpful.
