Somewhere along in the journey we start thinking about the legacy we will leave, not in terms of material things but what we have have done to influence and improve those that will be here after we are gone. That becomes more pronounced as time marches on. That coupled with a "never quit learning mindset" is powerful.
This question dawned on me already in early year: „Why am I here? What am I supposed to accomplish?“ And then is discovered the somewhat frightening and somewhat liberating answer of existentialism. No purpose besides the one we give ourselves or find for us. And then I got back to the Stoics advising us to try our best with what ever we have and whatever situation we are in.
