Couldn’t agree more, Adam. Keep up the good visualization work on your end as well!

I’ve always loved your story, Steveark, especially since you enjoyed your career so much while you were working full-time. Awesome job creating a lifestyle that suits you so well!

Life is much easier for self aware people because they can build on their strengths and offset their weaknesses, since they know what those are. Plus there is no reason that working years have to be any less fun than those after you pull the plug on the 9 to 5. I’m slightly early retired and loving it but I also loved my thirty plus corporate career and love my paid side gigs and non-monetized blog now. Part of the reason is that my wife and I were very intentional about building shared active hobbies both in our working years and now in retirement. We have some independent hobbies, like my blogging and her yard work, but much of what we do we enjoy together.

All too true! I think a lot of the things you love about blogging (visualizations, solving a problem, finishing a post, that sense of accomplishment of working through a thought) are the same things I love too.

Knowing what isn’t working for you is just as useful. When something becomes a chore, having the realization it’s not going to make you happy and change it is an underappreciated skill.
