The title sounds like a LinkedIn tier post Edit: Just skimmed the article: Linkedin tier content.

It is better than modern linkedin. It doesn't sound LLM generated and it's warning about the search for money as a lifelong goal.

Still, not really deep at all.

> The deeper goal is to keep challenging yourself every single day.

This is not a deeper goal, it's a surface level reaction to generalized anxiety.

The writer tries to connect together unrelated aspects of their life in a common thread but I got the sense that they simply never took the time to appropriately understand themselves.

Running away into more challenges simply perpetuates worry.

I had the complete opposite experience.

The more money and security I made, the less beholden I felt to the workplace and things that weren't personal to me. Less anxiety, less need to appeal to others for survival/success (of course still try to be nice)

I've also always had tons of ideas and things I wanted to pursue outside of work. So never lacked for motivation or sense of purpose.

My dad recently retired and seems to not have much direction now, so it must be a somewhat individualistic response.

Always interesting to see others reactions!
