I’m afraid I will die never doing anything important
1 min readJan 3, 2020
Sure, I went to an Ivy League and was school president. But that’s in the past and at a local level. It’s not something world changing or advancing for mankind. And I have this recurring fear that I will end up never doing anything of magnitude and significance.
I wonder if this fear is evolutionary. Because for me to do something and step up would ultimately benefit humanity, right?
But at the end of the day, I don’t know how to overcome the following:
Inevitable laziness/tiredness after my motivation runs dry
This is fueled by:
- ENTP personality that gets bored and wants to do new things all the time
- Weaker body that needs rest and heal time
- Desire to relax/enjoy things here and there
