The stack of what you weren’t

As you grow older, there will be a lot of things you didn’t become.

Things you wanted to be, but that you were not, and will never be.

As they stack up, the weight grows bigger and bigger. It might be as well a chain around our necks. It certainly feels that way.

But our brain plasticity gives us a chance to put the chain aside and see our present as a never ending starting point. There are lots of things you didn’t become, but there is even more things you still could be.

Takes courage to let go all those sunk costs, and not doing it will prove itself dramatically more costly.

But if you manage to let go, possibilities are endless.
