To me, meaningful work is being on a mission I become engrossed in, and meaningful relationships are those I have with people I care deeply about and who care deeply about me.

“But putting things off is the biggest waste of life: it snatches away each day as it comes, and denies us the present by promising the future.

To what goal are you straining? The whole future lies in uncertainty: live immediately.” — Seneca (On the Shortness of Life)
