Who I am right now

July 19, 2023, Wednesday evening, 7:34pm, pacific standard time, hotel in Bakersfield, California, USA. This morning on my way to work I had a break through that hinged on one question; what would be the ideal length of time to work? Previously, my answer was quantitative with specific years or a given age. All which implied there was someone I wanted to be yet refrained from becoming while I earned money. This morning my answer was more practical. “Ideally,” I thought, “I never stop working since it is always better to make money than not.” Whether that is true doesn’t matter. What matters is I subsequently rejected believing there was a better version of myself being denied. When I accepted the me of the moment the notion I wasn’t fulfilled disappeared. I am who I want to be right now. And I feel good about it.
